With the American terrorists menacing around the world like a rabid dog, attacking countries, threatening countries, sanctioning countries, seizing the assets of countries and weaponising the dollar, countries of the world are in a state of alarm, fearing for their lives, fearing for their assets to be seized from them, what do you think would be in their minds? Safety, safety, safety, safe from harrassment, safe from being robbed, attacked and sanctions by the American terrorists. They need to be protected.
The Americans are dropping all pretences that they are benign and peaceful. The Americans are carrying a big rod to slam at any country that will not bow or do its bidding. The world has changed, it is now the rule of the jungle and the menace is the evil Americans, standing on top of the hill snarling and ready to tear every nation state to pieces. Be with us or against us!
BRICS+ is the shining beacon on the horizon, beckoning with widespread arms, we are readying to stand up to the evil Americans, we are ready to shelter you from the dangerous storm stirred up by the evil American Empire. Come one, come all. This is the time to act to save yourself and to protect your national interests, your freedom of choice and your independence as sovereign nations, not to be bullied and threatened by the abusing American gangsters.
The advantages of BRICS+ and being a member of BRICS+ are so obvious. Politically, economically and militarily, BRICS+ is what small and medium countries of the world need in this trying and dangerous time. Without BRICS+, the evil American Empire is going to swallow every country up, using a big rod. There will be no more freedom and independence, no more free trade. There will be no more human rights or equality of nation states. It will be Americans Rule of Law, Americans Rule Based Order, and the Americans are the Empire of the day. There will be no niceties or gentleness or pretensions. Every country must fall in and do the American bidding or be at the mercy of the evil Americans. The world would be blackmailed by the Americans and the West. Period.
But why the rush? Under the present American dominance world order, all the international organisations eg UN, World Bank, IMF, ICC etc etc, are American organisations and doing the bidding of the Americans with a set of rules and laws for the rest of the world. Countries of the world must live by the rules and laws set by the Americans. But there is another set of rules and laws for the Americans and the West. More importantly, the Americans are above all the rules and laws. They are the supreme beans that can do no wrong, and can break all the rules and laws and no one can punish them. All the countries are just members of these organisations but without any authority or say. They would only be listened to if what they say or do are in agreement with the Americans or in the interest of the Americans. In other words, they are as good as not to be seen and not to be heard.
BRICS+ is a totally different proposition. The existing 5 members and the first batch of members would all be in the same boat with the new members, treated as equals, with equal rights and voice. Being early members, they would not be just meaningless digits, members for membership sake and inconsequential. The first 20 or 30 members will be very influential members and will write the narrative, be consulted and be the core members of BRICS+. Their input and interests would be equally important.
Compare to their pathetic existence in the present international organisations where their presence is as good as absence. They are inconsequential. They are just passengers to make up the crowd to shout and cheer when needed. The Americans and the West did not care a dime what they want, what they say, what is their national interests. They are at best, callefares in a Hollywood produced movie.
BRICS+ will recognise their importance and contributions. They could set the agenda and be consulted before anything is set in motion. Just look at the role South Africa is playing today. South Africa would be a voice in the wilderness without BRICS+. BRICS+ gives due recognition to every member of the organisation, to stand up and be recognised as an important member of the grouping. There is no need to take orders from anyone or to do anyone's bidding. BRICS+ will give a voice and stature to all national leaders in the world stage. BRICS+ will rise on the premises of a multi polar world with many voices, not a unipolar world dominated and dictated by the Americans.
Being the early members of BRICS+, they need not have to wait to be invited for tea, courtesy of the Americans and the West in American controlled organisations that are mainly for the white men. They are full members of BRICS and would decide who they want to invite. They are the masters themselves, calling the shots on the world stage.
Yes, all the regional powers and significant countries want to be in first and be accorded the respect and dignity they deserved. And BRICS+ will just do that. Don't have to wait eagerly to be invited by the G7 for a cup of tea like it was a great honour. BRICS+ is the coming of age of countries of the world that had been sidelined by the Americans and the West to play a supporting cast in the world stage. BRICS+ is their world stage, their platform in the world of nation states, to be equal among equals. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia, Mexico, Argentina, etc etc, will have a stage to talk to the world. Countries of the world would no longer have to wait in the corridors of power, meekly hoping to be noticed. BRICS+ is the rise of the Global South to take centre stage in international affairs. No country in the Global South would want to miss this boat to change history, to make history.
BRICS+ is the new chapter in world history. BRICS+ and its associate organisations would replace the current American created and controlled organisations meant for the white men to control the world, to dispatch them to history.
PS. With BRICS+, it can invite one or two members of G7 for tea occasionally, selectively, if they behave well.
