Nice, looking forward for the next development within brics. Did Saudi Arabia really join? Some sources say they did, some say they are still considering it, wikipedia is not updated either.

Looking it up (though the only source is Reuters- so who's to say) the Saudis seem to be on the fence (not yet having responded to the invitation, officially looking into whether to join or not)

BBC, bloomberg and WSJ say they did, its been 2 weeks from these how is it not clear yet, mainstream media is so goddamn unreliable. It is a huge deal if SA joins, it very well could mean the end of the petrodollar.

This could have some pretty significant implications on the standoff at the Egyptian-Israel border, though I doubt the effects will be seen that quickly.

Another step to deflate the U$ hegemony. Good news!

Wasn't Sisi an American puppet?

Looks like even puppets have limits.
