Brics Summit 2023 Live Updates: Brics nations agree to expand developing world bloc

Leaders of the Brics bloc of leading developing countries have agreed mechanisms for considering new members, South Africa said on Wednesday, paving the way for dozens of interested nations to join the group which has pledged to champion the "global south". Agreement on expansion could help lend global clout to Brics - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - at a time when geopolitical polarisation is spurring efforts by Beijing and Moscow to forge it into a viable counterweight to the West. "We have agreed on the matter of expansion," South Africa's foreign minister Naledi Pandor said on Ubuntu Radio, a station run by her ministry, following a meeting by Brics leaders at a three-day summit.

It's a baby step forward. I imagine the next order of business is too craft a non-SWIFT bank exchange system.

Rumors are confirmed.

I read, don't remember where,that Modi was against expansion bc China is Saudi Arabia's biggest market, and Modi felt that China would have too much influence.

If true, I can picture the backroom negotiations... Modi: "Well, we can include Saudi Arabia if we also include X, Y, and Z to balance things out"

Points taken from an interesting article about BRICS
https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/sitrep-82623-wagner-denouement-and

("well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle")

* Firstly, this group now represents 37% of the world’s GDP in PPP terms. Keep in mind that the much vaunted G7 has 29.9%, down from 46% in 1992.

* The new 11-member BRICS, with its energy powerhouses of Iran, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, now also controls ~54% of the world’s oil production and 46% of the world’s population.

* they promised to continue expansion so there will be more members considered for the next summit

* the BRICS members did verbalize an initiative to begin work on an inter-BRICS settlement payment system and currency. The timetable for it is not immediate, allegedly within 5-10 years they hope to develop one. But even in the meantime, they will increase initiatives towards settling in their own currencies away from the dollar.

* this [BRICS] commission would look toward ensuring the chief BRICS members’ ability to bypass critically strategic corridors and choke points like the Strait of Singapore, Strait of Malacca, Suez Canal, Bosphorus, Strait of Hormuz, etc

What the article alludes to, but doesn't make explicit, is that there is also a BRICS Bank, called the New Development Bank
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Development_Bank

If this NDB serves as a clearinghouse for bank to bank exchange, and they communicate on a non-SWIFT system (Russia and China each have non-SWIFT interbank systems that they've coordinated with each other, bypassing SWIFT and the Bank of International Settlements - BIS- entirely) then the BRICS nations can trade with each other entirely outside of the dollar. Altho BRICS nations such as China and Saudi Arabia will almost certainly continue to also accept the USD and Euro.

AFA investment loans ... China is more than willing to take the place of the IMF and World Bank. One must be careful when signing a deal with China... but not as careful as when getting a loan from the IMF and World Bank, which have strict political and policy requirements that they impose on their debtors. (i.e. "austerity")

So noodling on this while doing dishes, what I heard was...

China wanted the major oil producers and got Saudi Arabia and UAE

Russia wanted a friend and got Egypt (and Iran?)

South Africa wanted another African state and got Ethiopia

Brazil wanted another South American nation and got Argentina

And what did Modi get? The booby prize??

Also, Argentina isn't a stable partner, and- like NATO - the procedure for joining seems to be well worked out, but the procedure for leaving, or being kicked out, doesn't exist. I expect they're going to have to figure that part out!

JAYNZE, your post was originally in the 'limits of free speech' thread, but my reply belongs here.

The USA and Five Eyes are pissed at Modi for his attendance at the BRICS summit and his refusal at the G20 to issue an anti-Russian final statement. The USA and five eyes are doing their best to pressure and punish Modi. They might issue secondary sanctions against India's diamond trade with Russia, which takes place in Modi's hometown. (India is the largest diamond bourse in the world, not Antwerp or NYC)

There will be a lot of accusations against the Modi government - 'authoritarian', 'killer' (Justine Trudeau claims India assasinated a Sikh separatist in Canada), "corrupt', 'anti-women' (i.e. not protecting women's rights in India), 'anti-Muslim', 'Putin puppet' etc etc.

It's a smear job. Some of it is true, but the USA was willing to overlook whatever in return for political support, just as we were willing to continue oil trade with the Gulf States.

Here's another person who's going to get smeared:

Slovakia's Fico gets two weeks to form government after election win



"Far right"
"Putin puppet"
"Corrupt"
"Authoritarian"

And, yanno, if the collective west can't find anything real in his background, they'll make shit up. Look at how Trump, Marin le Pen (France), and Imran Kahn (Pakistan) are getting trampled by "lawfare".

talk from Bolton

He sells China-Russia and unified entity...hypes Brazil which had a very similar Jan6 Mob style riot
and while he thinks its cool to give weapons to Pakistan he talks up the Hindu Street Shitters of India,
then shapeshifter Bolton gives an opinion ...if he were a shitlamic...
doesn't give much of an opinion on South Africa very caged.
The old chickenhawkfuck is probably terrified of a Dindoo BLM Antifa mob appearing outside his northwest of Washington D.C. home like they harass Supreme Court Judges.

BRICS expansion doesn't constitute a 'serious challenge'



makes excuses for Gulf Arab States and the exporting shitlamic terror and jihad, thinks Arabs and Israel are great ally buddies. Probably took the interview to sell one of his ego garbage books.

Some say he's a numbskull on economics

Probably the type of guy who would stab Nxion and Vice President Spiro Agnew in the back way back in the day to get a Ford or Rockefeller into power
