BRICS has to vet membership applications very, very
carefully. Not every country that applies is genuinely sincere. They
could be Trojan Horses that could destroy the bloc. One Trojan Horse is
already a big problem and sabotaging the bloc.
Now, Turkey is a member of NATO, and allowing Turkey to join BRICS is, according to my two cents worth, a no brainer.
BRICS
must be clear about countries having loyalties to different sides and
not look at it indifferently. Already, India in the QUAD, is causing so
much problem for BRICS with loyalties unknown. Then there are also
countries with stooges in charge joining BRICS which may sabotage the
bloc or reveal secrets that they privy to to the West. I am thinking of
Pakistan and lately Bangladesh, two countries applying for membership.
Do these two countries need to be vetted thoroughly, since the
leadership changes in them have been suspiciously engineered by outside
forces?

Trojan Horses are bad. Trojan Turkeys are no better.
In a concerted effort to expand BRICS, those inside the bloc must not just attracting quantity, but quality and safety are equally essential to safeguard the future of BRICS. BRICS' leadership have seen the dangers and are looking at the problem in more subtle ways of attracting members into the bloc. Putin already had set one condition of not allowing those engaging in sanctions to be admitted.
Countries that have steadfast leaders and commitments towards a cause geared towards de-dollarization are relatively safe bets. The only problem is when regime change hits them, the whole equation is turned on its head. Then the solution that comes after that may be problematic.
Pakistan and Bangladesh are risky bets for sure. One Trojan Horse is easy to pinpoint. Two Trojan Horses can be difficult to handle. BRICS will be led on a wild goose chase trying to determine who the culprits are.
