I think people might be over-estimating the capacity BRICS have to become a new weight in the balance of power around the world. There are still many things they have to solve so they can become more efficient in achieving mutual economic objectives.

Russia needs to stop the war in Ukraine and renegotiate their access to the markets, otherwise the BRICS members could be affected in the future by the interest on the United States on Russia.

China and India are currently having political confrontations over some territory in the north of India. There has been reports of possible military confrontations, if I recall correctly.

Brazil is very close to the USA and within it's sphere of influence, which could be taken advantage of to fracture the alliance in the long term.

If BRICS wants to grow, they need to tackle those issues and work to include more countries in their block.

Don’t underestimate the incompetence of our current leadership. Biden is going to cost America its global reserve currency status and BRICS are growing extremely fast. It’s clear that China will be next to decide the world’s reserve currency and America is about to take a nosedive not seen since its founding. BRICS is on the rise. America is on the decline and we have woke politics and fearful leadership to thank for it.

Even if what you say it is true, OgNasty.
The United States is a democracy and leaders come and go, it is always a possibility a change of the administration (in the executive branch, the Senate or the chamber of representatives).

So I am not sure if it is fair to say that the decline of your country cannot be avoided.
Or you have not faith in any political faction within the United States?
I am sure there must be at least a bunch within the house who would not like your currency to start losing value around the globe.
