If France joins BRICS then consider BRICS dead. France is not a developing country, I don't see the point of it joining.It seems logical why Macron is trying to lean towards Asia and Eurasia and attempting to join BRICS, and Why Russia and China are favouring maintaining high level political contact with France. France is about the only EU country that is not occupied by the US, is a nuclear power, is militarily stronger than other EU puppets, and has access to multiple seas. Who knows, maybe in the near future France will make serious commitments, let go of its colonial past, and join BRICS.
