BRICS & New World Order Thread

[Stealthflanker]

Not very enthusiastic seeing Indonesia in BRICS atm.. especially that we're not really in good position economically. Widening gaps between rich and poor, de-industrialization which cause rising level of unemployement and poor government policies which causing law uncertainty and thus.. Foreign Direct Investment abandoning us.

Our government especially tried to gloss over the unemployement issue by actually adding non-formal jobs as part of their statistics of employement, despite common sense that you cant have proper nonformal sector (e.g art and FnB business, services even tourism), without healthy formal one (e.g manufacturing). What BRICS can solve there ?

Kinda reminds me of our geopolitical adventure in 1960's with NEFO (New Emerging Forces) Movement, where we went as far as creating our own equivalent to Olympics (GANEFO- Olahraga negara NEFO - NEFO Country sportsmanship event). Lighthouse projects with exorbitant cost yet little in return economically.

Economic indicators might suggest we have low inflation but.. that's kinda because our purchase power here is dwindling.. we even got actual deflation because of that.

But then i wonder what the future holds.

Brian Berletic, Angelo Giuliano, and Carl Zha discuss the Panama Canal and Greenland and their relevance to BRICS, Chinese and Russian trade and naval blockades.

Another video by Brian Berletic discussing China's military power and he also discusses a paper by the Institute of National Strategic Studies published in June 2012 that discusses imposing a blockade on China in Greenland and and the Panama Canal where the Chinese military has no reach and can't come to the rescue.

I see they're at the bargaining phase. "Ok yeah China itself is comprehensively a stronger country than us now, better at science, economics and in their vacinity, we're no match for them, but farther out, in our backyard, we can still bully people and China can't stop us." LOL

No need to worry; we're coming. We started at being unable/barely able to contend with Western encroachments to Chinese sea territory/airspace, then we went to securing that but second fiddle in Asia, going on to being unstoppable in Asia and they think that's the end? They can safely hide in the Panama Canal and Greenland? LOL Stay right there and wait for us.

Nigeria becomes the ninth BRICS partner country, joining Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.

“With the world’s sixth-largest population — and Africa’s largest — as well as being one of the continent’s major economies, Nigeria shares convergent interests with other members of BRICS,” Brazil’s government said in a statement Friday.

“It plays an active role in strengthening South-South cooperation and in reforming global governance — issues that are top priorities during Brazil’s current presidency.”

I feel like Westoids often hype up BRICS, turning it into something it was never meant to be, and then claim it "failed" when it doesn’t match their overblown expectations.

The reality is, no one in BRICS cares what Westoids think it should or shouldn’t be. BRICS was never designed to be a military alliance or a free trade bloc.

It’s a platform for diplomacy, international politics, finance, and various people-to-people exchanges, including cultural, social, and academic collaboration.

It’s a space where countries can brainstorm and cooperate on ideas, like de-dollarization, without being tied to rigid frameworks. Nowhere does it say they have to create something like a joint currency or follow a specific path.

That’s not the only way to bypass the US dollar, anyway. They could trade in their own currencies if they focus on developing solid financial technology and infrastructure, which seems to be the real direction they’re heading toward.
