What are your thoughts on BRICS expanding? Is BRICS the future?

It's what Turkiye should have done ages ago. If the EU doesn't want to welcome them, then it is normal for them to join BRICS, which is welcoming them with open arms.

EU is a union with its own parliament, law and institutional structures.
BRICS is just an organization.

These two cannot be compared in any way whatsoever.

Hu ? They are both economic constructions. EU has a role of peacekeeping inside the EU, and so far it succeded at that. Nor German nor Frenches are at war with each other, and that's kinda half the reason of the EU existing, the other half being economic cooperation.

BRICS is growing while G7 which includes the US and most of it's allies is shrinking. Keep in mind it's always the side that is losing control that starts wars, not the ones gaining the upper hand economically. The worse G7 does the closer it'll get to flipping the table.

was russia losing when they started their war?

Ukraine isn't part of G7 and we're not in a world war, do try to pay attention.

we are in the start of a world war... right now its a proxy war but IT will escalate if ukraine falls.

It doesn't have too. Russia just wants a buffer zone against being nuked/attacked.

None of whats happening had to happen, we could all still be buying cheap russian oil and fertilizer. We could have lower inflation, weaker or dead brics, germany would still have cheap energy for its industry, india would be way less rich.

Turkey.

Unless you're going around calling Germany, Deutschland. Or Japan, Nihon. Or China, Zhōngguó then sit your pretentious ass down with the Turkiye nonsense.

My local media also really loves pretentiously pointing out Turkey as Turkiye but fail to apply this logic to any other country. Why does this seem so politically forced?

This gives me "white person correcting people how to say Hawaii" vibes.

BRICS
-Almost half of global oil output & proven reserves (And they could even have the majority if more join)
-Significantly more manpower
-Way more industrial output. For instance look at global steel production per country. Notice the countries in the top 10.

All of these developing countries are catching up in technology. All of them are becoming regional powers in their own right. More countries have applied for membership and even more have expressed interest in joining.

Soon it's going to become the USA and USA-aligned Europe vs the rest of the world.
The world will perceive the entire Eurozone the same way people currently view the UK or Greece. Stagnant and past their prime.

But let me guess. Ya'll think GDP is all that matters right? lmfao.

Russia can't even take Ukraine lmao
Oil and Gas will be replaced by renewables
Russian currency is worthless compared to USD, GBP or Euro.

Meanwhile NATO has much better military inventory and has better tech. Meanwhile Russia is still flying that piece of junk Tu95 that should be in a museum

Ukraine is getting support from over 50 or so countries while Russia is the most sanctioned country on Earth. It's not a 1v1.


Fiat is just an abstraction for trading hard assets. Which Russia has plenty of. Why do you think Russia saw economic growth that outpaced Europe in spite of, again, being the most sanctioned country on Earth?

Speaking of Renewables. Ever heard of Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation? AKA one of the world leaders in nuclear energy? No.1 Exporter of nuclear plants. The same Rosatom that is building nuclear power plants in all of those BRICS countries


Yes the west currently has better military tech. For now. But one thing is for sure, BRICS can more than make up for it through mass production. Tell me if it's economically viable to keep shooting down $2-3k drones with $2 million missiles?
And I wonder, does the west have an answer to RS-28 Sarmat or hypersonic missiles that were simulated to be able to sink US fleets?

Turkey to join BRICS

Erdogan's MO seems to be to deal with whomever he wants. If he can trade with more people without giving anything up, why wouldn't he?

[ZZZZZ]

another for the league of evil.. fitting since turkey actively commits genocides

Do you remember ANY SANCTIONS against Russia between 2014 and 2022 ?

nah but i found em.

Well, THEN you CAN argue that "the losing side is doing wars", too :D Proper argument format is proper. Even if it's only "technically the truth", sometime, sometimes, i say it's the best truth - i love memes, stereotypes and tropes as anyone else. But your opponent has solid points too, pay heed to them (Ukraine isnt part of G7 nor EU, for example of arguments that are solid).

Oh look our favorite commie bot is back, where's all this tech coming from? Hypersonic missiles lmfao. When did it sink a US fleet? oh wait it didn't

Russia still cannot take Ukraine, even Nazi Germany was able to take multiple countries with ease, Ukraine had little support in the early days. Seems like Russia is the new Nazi power.

But the Russian currency is still worthless, but don't worry you've allowed Argentina to join lmao.

kick china and call it BRITS

no but it will give russia as substantial boarder to attack nato with. they are already prepping for this to happen.

Isnt the flipside of your sentence true as well, and is it not the whole propaganda of "national security of Russia", the "too much Nato around us" ? But for you, it takes the form of "Russia will have more border opportunities". Causes, consequences, intresting the ways one can put them down in written form, hé ?

Right now some are saying that Brics and Nato are opponents when one is a military and the other not, and some others are sayin' EU and Brics are absolutely not the same thing when both are commercial partnerships.


Maybe more people should work on their reading comprehension skill, all in all ...

[craigsters]

Wasn't Greece broke too? does no one want Greece?

[Ganger]

The EU won't even let turkey join the EU. After all these decades of trying, turkey at this point should have no loyalty what so ever to europe. It's like a girl always promising to bed you while all along bedding your best mate.

I come to steam forums to get super accurate and informed predictions of the future, and am rarely disappointed.

I guess Russia would have crushed the belligerent Ukrainian neo-fascist regime already thanks to their overwhelming military superiority, but they are useless and probably drunk.

Russia just attacked Ukraine out of the blue because Putin is just a threat to democracy (Ukraine is a legit democracy that respects human rights for all, you see).

But there is absolutely no chance of course that the whole thing is set-up to play with energy/fuel prices and sell a load of weapons (paid for with your tax money) and create a situation of perpetual war in Europe which is amazing for big business, and both Putin and NATO are in on it because ca-ching!

Now, as for renewables i think it must be the gangster Putin, or maybe Iran, or at least Trump who funded that nazi documentary called Planet of the Humans which is somehow still up on Youtube despite being 100% hate speech! Sarcasm? I am obviously confused by all the fake news!
