Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar:

Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar: Now the expansion of BRICS is not just 34 countries that want to join this union. There are already 40 of them, after the summit there will be 50-60. Everyone will want to join BRICS. This is not even news. And now imagine what the geopolitical part of the union will look like with this expansion. It must satisfy all new and old members. Wow! No one has tried to do this since the end of World War II. The Americans did not want to satisfy anyone, only themselves, and they built a system for themselves. BRICS is about something else. These are nations that want to cooperate, no matter how difficult it is. Source: Victor vicktop55
