October saw two major international summits meet at the same time: the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, and the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa...
The world that BRICS want is the world that any rational, caring, intelligent person would want for themselves and their children. Personally I think BRICS is the last best hope for human survival and I applaud it.
I also reckon Australia should toss out ANZUS, NATO, AUKUS and the rest of the alphabet soup, and seek to join BRICS. Be nice to be on the right side of history for once.
Great read Doug! Your article brings a lot more nuance to BRICS than those claiming it is merely a club for those opposed to the US. Many of the BRICS goals are very rational. Who can argue that a nation shouldn't have the right to pay or receive payments for imports/exports in its own currency if requested?
All the people of the world wants a strong uncle Xi Jinping, our friend, brother and saviour. In him we can trust , like the world trusted in Mao Tse Tung. He must rule the whole world, and bring peace and diplomacy and good vibrations to everybody. Only a strong world leadership under uncle Xi, friend and brother - holy be his name - will bring us forward. And there is hope: We have Jan Oberg sitting in Sweden and delivering uncle Xi's messages to us. Let Obergs and Xi's words lift your soul and minds forever!!! Holy be there names halelulja for uncle Xi and bootlikker Oberg

Thanks! Yeah I think the BRICS isn't so much opposing the US as proposing a reform program that the US just so happens to opposes.
The UK and the Commonwealth have no relevance in the modern world whatsoever.
BRICS is the way forward.
