With the BRICS alliance expanding, seven members of the previously existing G20 trade group are now members of the BRICS group. The influence of the G20 is diminishing and the BRICS group is gaining strength. This is the context for the modern era geopolitical dynamic that is taking place.
The G20 is ideologically anchored by the U.S. and EU as part of the western alliance. However, the BRICS group have started to cleave away from the “western worldview” specifically on the issue of energy development. We have talked about this dynamic quite a bit.
As a result of the increased influence of the BRICS group, specifically as an outcome of the U.S, EU and Australian weakening as a result of fundamentally changing their energy use at the altar of climate change, the western alliance is losing economic strength, and the BRICS team are gaining strength. The addition of Saudi Arabia to the BRICS team has boosted the BRICS control of traditional energy products.
The global shift in power is happening very fast as the climate change agenda is pushed by the U.S, EU and Canada. Issues that impact the G20 are no longer unilaterally controlled by a singular worldview. Now inside the G20 there are competing interests as a global realignment takes shape.
Within this dynamic, the attendees of the G20 summit were unable to construct a joint declaration that condemns Russia’s activity in Ukraine. Instead, the group had to modify their language to get all of the G20 nations, including Russia, to agree to the statement. China, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Argentina are in alignment with the worldview of Russia. Although the Russia allies dislike the hostilities, there is a general understanding that Russia was being threatened by the U.S. pushing NATO expansion. Actions have consequences, and the leadership of the BRICS+ group align sympathetically with the justification that Russia presented.
Into this mix of disparate interests, the G20 summit in India was held, and for the first time the Western Alliance within the G20 seemed to recognize things had fundamentally changed. This was the first time the G20 group was together since Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and several other nations began talking to each other about a new economic landscape built on the global energy cleaving.
This also represented the first time Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken were able to gauge how much American influence has been changed. The reality is starting to hit, and the reality is that America is losing power globally – yet retaining power amid a much smaller network of ideologically aligned western nations.
Using the Ukraine and Russia conflict as an example for what this new reality looks like, for the first time today US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken alluded in his remarks to ABC News that new borders were likely to be drawn in Ukraine, if/when discussions and negotiations begin between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky.
WATCH the moment at 3:36, …”where exactly this [conflict] settles, where lines are going to be drawn, that is going to be up to Ukrainians.”
THAT, is a major shift in the position of the Biden administration.

Every time I see this guy, one word comes to mind… Putz.
I thought the most of G20 was mere theater, except for the announcement by India, USA, Saudi Arabia and the EU to create a mega rail shipping corridor all the way from from India through the Middle East and into Europe. I found this significant particularly in light of the fact that Italy has recently backed out of its deal with the Belt & Road initiative of China
Agreed
Russia is kicking butt, they are adapting to each and every scenario, they are organized like a machine. They also have planted mines everywhere, which is sad because those things will be harming people for decades. No matter how well documented they will never all be found if they want to remove them. Anyway, we really don’t want our people to go to war against Russia is what I am trying to say, especially w/the craptards we have in charge. That meat grinder over there is mind boggling.
BRICS is going to kick our butt. We are in big trouble.
BRICS unfortunately makes far more sense than the moronically woke, windmill-chasing West.
Not BRICS, it is best CRIBASS
China, Russia, India, Brazil, Argentina, Saudi, South Africa in that order
I constantly wonder what the geopolitics would look like once we regain our energy and food dominance under DJT policies?
The BRICS aren’t going to come back, at least not exclusively, they may find a way to trade in both.
And once the primacy of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is lost it will never be regained. I have read that will cause a diminishment of our economic quality of life by at least a third. Immediately.
When President Trump was elected the first time I thought he would be able to renegotiate with the [then] number one purchaser of our debt, China, and make a lot of progress on reducing our national debt.
What I didn’t realize was that no one else in government wanted to reduce our national debt, and that they would all work so hard against Trump’s good intentions. Non-stop. (They wouldn’t give him $5 Billion to finish the wall they had previously authorized, saying it was too expensive; that wall would have saved us approximately $165 Billion per year)
President Trump’s return to the Oval Office might help with the natural (and even unnatural) turnover of the Supreme Court, but, unless entire departments can be axed it will only extend our Republic’s death throes.
The link to the G20 Wiki is included below. Interesting summary but the neatest part of the WIKI Page is the Table at the bottom of the WIKI Page showing the member ALLIANCE Memberships.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G20
Of the nations “named” in the graphic, Mexico and Indonesia are both thinking really hard about BRICS membership or some sort of affiliation.
The EU is a member but not yet part of one of five groups that can assume Chairmanship of the G20. EU membership gives major European Union members (i.e. France, UK, Germany, France and Italy) a double dip, plus Spain is a non-voting member of the G20.
Also, the African Union (that includes South Africa) has a membership that has equal status with the EU. This is of interest because there are major African Nations such as Nigeria and Algeria considering BRICS membership.
What a contrast, for events at this year’s G20 summit, to just 3 years ago when the G20 membership was crawling to have an audience or just a photo OP with President Trump.
Eventually it will be BRICS that will demolish the Climate Change fraud and the G20 will be the ones to reflect on how much value has been lost.
As BRICS membership grows (and it will) a future step will be to end the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. When that happens the dollar will be de-valued by 25% overnight. Immediately the cost of all goods and services in the USA will cost 25% more immediately. That’s a drastic decline in the standard of living for most Americans. This is what the Obama/Biden administration is bringing to you. Then they’ll blame it on Trump.
🎯💯
I wonder how comfortable we should feel that Japan isn’t going to jump to the BRICS? After the murder of President Trump’s friend Abe anything seems possible.
“Issues that impact the G20 are no longer unilaterally controlled by a singular worldview. Now inside the G20 there are competing interests as a global realignment takes shape.”
A modern Tower of Babel?
Hmmm, under the guise of “Parliament of World Religions”…It’s a real thing~ Be aware!!!
If they are acknowledging that new borders will be drawn, why are we sending Ukraine more money?
You know the answer.
“yet retaining power amid a much smaller network of ideologically aligned western nations”
Because democracy is a farce. They don’t care what the people think. They have power and are using it.
Wait, can we join BRICS too? We don’t want to be allied with these Communists either.
Seeing as the ostensible “leader” of the US, and thus the head of the G20 along with the satrap of Canada, are on the payroll of the head of the BRICS group china I really don’t see the G20 winning this competition.
Into this geo-political storm throw in our Achilles Heal – the gigantic un-repayable national debt. Once the BRICS figure out the alternative currency problem then the leftists and degenerates who contrived this mess will have all of us reap the whirlwind.

F these crap Weasels
Just to be sure, BRICS is now BRICS 11.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Some of them have oil to spare: Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and the UAE.
They all join officially in January 2024, which is also the date Russia has the chairmanship of the group.
The BRICS will meet in Russia.
