The BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, what is the main thing? 1. The attention to this summit is low, because the leaders of Russia and China are not participating.
2. It is dangerous for Putin to fly across the ocean, since the probability of a terrorist attack is high.
3. Xi does not want to be in the shadow of the head of India Modi. And Modi will be in first place, because after the summit his visit to Brazil will begin.
4. BRICS is divided more and more clearly into anti-Western Russia and China and pro-Western India and Brazil.
5. BRICS has not become a real organization. It has neither a charter nor a secretariat.
6. The idea of a common BRICS currency has been stopped.
7. BRICS decided to stop its expansion, so that the US and Europe would not have the opportunity to block everything through new members. Therefore, a new status of “partner country” was introduced. This is actually a member of BRICS, but without voting rights. 8. The main idea of BRICS is to help a friend in the lag of its sovereignty. And since the sovereignty of each country is threatened by Western countries, BRICS is inevitably forced to be anti-Western.
9. Russia wants BRICS to develop into a real organization.
10. But China, India – do not want. They have enough.
11. But of course BRICS is a great community of countries of civilizations, the hope of modern humanity.
