Can BRICS offer a counterbalance to the existing world order? | Inside Story


The 16th BRICS summit will have five new members, doubling the group’s strength to 10.
Leaders from several other countries are also attending.
Some of them, like Turkey and Malaysia, have already applied to join the growing alliance.
The event allows President Vladimir to signal to the West that he has not been isolated because of the war in…

  1. Of course it can. High corruption in the BRICS outweighs low corruption in the collective West, mismanagement in the BRiCS is equilibrated by good governance in the collective West, low incomes in the BRICS are counterbalanced by high incomes in the West, migrants run from the BRICS in direction of the collective West etc.

  2. existing world order was in crisis since 1998 and started breaking apart from 2011. It is gone for years by now. That's why the human world looks how it looks and it only holds together by force. Stop posting nonsense videos, everyday the same….

  3. If the U.S. pushes India too hard on issues like human rights or geopolitical pressures, it risks driving India closer to China, which would be bad for the West. While India has worked with the U.S. and its allies through initiatives like the Quad, it values its strategic autonomy and won’t align fully with any one bloc. The U.S. must carefully balance its approach to avoid straining relations, as alienating India could shift global power dynamics in favor of China, something the West wants to avoid.
    India and China both have strong influence over the Global South through development aid and economic initiatives. While India focuses on partnership and non-alignment, China uses investments like the Belt and Road Initiative. If they find common ground, their combined influence could shift global power dynamics, challenging Western dominance. However, competition between them may limit deeper collaboration.

  4. Another attractive aspect of BRICS is that it is politically agnostic, by implication every member accept the politcal sytem of the others, no member interferes with the RIGHT sovereign nations have to choose their political system unlike the hegemon and "allies", this psychophantic bunch of nations collectively denoted using a slogan: "the West".

  5. They key of BRICS is to perform commercial transactions in the LOCAL CURRENCIES of the nations involved in the transaction.

    At the moment we face the ridiculos demand by USA requiring, for example, Bolivia having to buy US dollars (artificially increasing its demand) to buy oil from Venezuela… or else…

  6. BRICS has to avoid the Euro "project", namely a prototype of a FEDERATION like USA and UK (warlike federations).

    A common currency implies common monetary policy, and this implies fiscal and economic policy which cannot be common.

    BRICS should respect its main idea, a MULTIPOLAR WORLD.

  9. By letting the US lead ceasefire talks in Gaza and Lebanon, is letting what happened in Iraq happen again and this time at a far more egregious level. This can't go on like this. The UN is not a subsidy of the US it's a World International organization of which Israel can't be allowed to so wilfully disrespect of course lead by the exemplary ignorance and disregard the USA portrayed when invading Iraq without substantiated evidence. Israel killing UNRWA staff is a massacre of international citizens not forgetting Palestinian citizens or integral institutions and thus can't be left unscrutinized or fact checked by international legal authorities such Interpol, ICC or similar organizations. Israel banning the UN secretary general is grounds for it to be banned in the UN as it is known that it is an occupying power that has long exceeded its bounds of international law whether through land ceasures, massacres or human rights, etc. It's about time the attendance of the UNGA be dishonoured if hypocrisy, double standards or outright favouritism continues unabated because of allegiances and isn't called out. When the Soviet Union fell so too the balance of power, remember the Soviet Union was also a critical partner in the establishment of what is now the UN, international law nor the previous League of Nations thus BRICS is very necetated in these psychotic imbalanced times.
