The BRICS alliance is doomed because it’s too reliant on the only economic giant, China which is reliant on the US market. Unfortunately China is in a stage of population collapse that will basically make it an old man and a he other BRICS players are oil based which is also a rapidly fading commodity and will be completely gutted when Fusion arrives in the near future. The St. Pete conference was a delusional gathering of wounded egos looking to prop each other up outside the world order. In the meantime the world order is bound to leap into the future with AI, quantum computing and secret weapons and the greatest power of all—creativity enabled by freedom. Not impressed with anything Russia does.
