Today, at the start of the closing day of the BRICS meeting, the President of South Africa announced an important decision regarding the BRICS acceptance of the invitation of six countries to become new members of the BRICS group. These countries are Egypt, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Argentina. He also announced a consensus regarding the first stage of expanding BRICS, so that the membership of new members begins on January 1, 2024, while stressing that the doors of membership will remain open to other countries in the future, such as Algeria and Indonesia, which are not yet ready to join.
With the accession of these countries, the BRICS bloc now includes 46% of the world's population (almost half), with a gross domestic product of more than the quarter of the global GDP, which will make it a new engine for the global economy.

EU BRICS, I SEA. Grin

They are going to have to change the name if they want to accommodate all of these nations.

Anyway, a counter-balance to western countries is a good thing in my opinion - they hand out sanctions quickly, but take too long to remove them, and populations of those countries will suffer for that.

That is a trouble even right now, and the fact that they could grow to be bigger is definitely scare for sure. However, I do not think that they will get more powerful, they still need the money from the west, all these nations are poor compared to west, only nation in all this list that could be considered rich is China and even they are having financial breakdown right now, USA could crash as much as they want and still come out on top and that is what matters.

I believe that we need to end up with a situation that is a bit different and should be considered that BRICS could never be rich and just need money from the west all the time, they need to sell their resources, factories, workers, and everything else just to get money from the west.

*USA (fixed that for you).

USA is the only country which can print unlimited amounts of its own money, the rest of the west can't do that because the dollar is the global reserve, backed by the US government.

That makes you end up in a position where we can't even solve our own citizens' problems, but we somehow have the enthusiasm to meddle with other peoples'.
