BRICS and SCO expansion - Who is the ROADBLOCK

Why more countries are turning to Russia- and China-led blocs

Many nations want a rebalancing of the global order, given Western hypocrisy over human rights and democratic values. Can Moscow and Beijing overcome the roadblocks?

China and Russia are overtly challenging Western hegemony over global affairs. Beijing and Moscow claim to provide an alternative that is multipolar, fairer, and just. Is the growing and deepening partnership between the two a paradigm shift in international politics? ....By Gowhar Geelani, a journalist and author based in Kashmir, India. RT

The above is quoted from an article in RT.  It is obvious and urgent that the world needs a rebalancing of the global order now misled by the evil American Empire, starting wars, all kinds of wars everywhere, threatening and bullying smaller states to take sides in its fight for world hegemony and to rule the world.

China, Russia and Iran are the immediate targets for attacks and destruction by the American terrorists and their mafia gangs called allies around the world. The Middle East Arab and Muslim states, the African and Latin American states, the rest of the Global South would be conveniently subsumed by the evil American Empire when China and Russia fell and be destroyed. And the people of the Global South cannot fail not to see what their fate would be like. They are now rushing to be part of the BRICS and SCO camp to prevent becoming recolonised by the white men. There is great urgency as the white men under the lead of the American terrorists have already launched their new plan for world domination.

The road forward for BRICS and SCO  to join forces with the Global South to protect themselves from the white men's control is not easy, with many leaders of the Global South still being bought over by the white men to be their running dogs. As the author, Gowhar Geelani warned, there are roadblocks preventing BRICS and SCO from uniting and saving the Global South...in preventing the expansion of these two organisations.

Who is the ROADBLOCK that is standing in the way to prevent the tragedy of the Global South from being colonised and ruled by the white men again? BRICS and SCO know that they must expand their membership quickly and asap to stop the white men. Only with more members in their ranks could they be strong enough as a counter force against the white men, now pushing for NATO to expand to the east. 

Would Putin be able to stop the ROADBLOCK from crippling the expansion of BRICS and SCO to save the Global South from the white terrorists on war path?

Iran is not Afghanistan, by far the most advanced and militarily powerful Muslim state

 Iran, like Russia is no pushover. Years of USA sanctions, assassination of its leaders and regime changing attempts yield little result.

It seems the USA has little memory of Afghanistan and wants to dabble with another country of tenacious fighters with even better strategies, far more advance technology and weapons and certainly no little farmers bearing small arms.

Iran has a long history and heritage just like China. It has gone through civil wars, earthquakes and other disasters and became stronger for it. The Islamic Revolution of 1979 saw the Islamic Republic going against the last Shah of Iran, supported by the USA. That failure by the USA to prop up the Shah was a lesson the USA should have learnt. And the USA intends to have another bite of the cherry? Fat hope!

Iran will always be the main thorn in the side of the USA and Israel's preoccupation with controlling the Middle East. That is why so much attention had been focused on preventing Iran from going nuclear. With more pressure by the USA and Israel, Iran sees no possible alternative but to go nuclear, which makes it sensible for the USA to destroy it. And what better way than starting a narrative to sway global support to demonize Iran and do another Iraq with UN support.

What the USA tried to fool the world with their best in everything

 What the USA tried to fool the world with their best in everything is a mirage now being slowly exposed.

I came across this very intriguing discourse by Kevin Walmsley on 'Inside China Business' about university rankings in the past, and why Chinese Universities never were ranked high on the list. As with everything else, there was an undisclosed bias against China in everything for decades. But with China coming out with all the innovations, including cutting edge research papers submitted by Chinese academics and researchers, ignoring the reality is no longer possible.

This is changing with a new criterion that includes research papers in Chinese from Chinese universities that had either escaped the attention of the ranking committee or had been ignored on purpose or being overlooked. But with China now producing the bulk of the high-end research materials that used to be the domain of USA universities, the ranking position has been turned on its head.

Under a new criterion formulated by Leiden University, a research university in the Netherlands, taking into account all cutting-edge publications in Chinese, six Chinese universities are now among the top ten in the world with ten in the top twenty.

This is the bias that is also prevalent in other rankings and even in the award of all shapes and sizes. But the reshaping of the world by China cannot be ignored forever.

What can India offer to BRICS?

 Modi's rule over India is not even secure now. And he wants to rule over BRICS?

Modi needs to put on a bigger head-dress like those Native American Indian chiefs. What has India got to offer BRICS countries other than exporting its slave labor? What has India done in terms of helping BRICS countries in infrastructure development? Oops, sorry, India could not even be counted to develop domestic infrastructure itself, not to talk about helping others.

Just like Joe Biden talking about India/Middle East/Europe Corridor, railroads across the Pacific, digital transformation of Africa which the Africans are not buying from him, the Global Infrastructure Investment plan with more infrastructure destruction than development to talk about.

When Joe Biden leaves office, Trumps is going to pull back all that castle building in the air. Trump will say - sorry USA first guys, you all can go and find spiders to play with.

American colonies and cronies in Europe and East Asia falling one by one

 The EU also could not afford an energy war with Russia. It followed the USA, and it got thrown under the bus as well. First time under the bus did not kill the EU. A second time under the bus might just end it all for the EU.

Henry Kissinger was not wrong when he said that being an enemy of the USA is dangerous and being its friend is fatal. The EU position just give an idea how accurate that saying by Kissinger was. In any case, the Whites playing out the whites is just 'good news to hear'.

The countries thrown under the bus by the USA are not only confined to those in Europe. Japan is going under as well. Japan had just been suspected of propping up the Yen, buying the currency and selling US$. Yellen will be furious. To be honest, Japan had no way out.

Japan is not only suffering in its currency crisis. Japan car industry is in tatters with Toyota's bet on hydrogen fuel cell cars experiment totally finished in the USA. Now a class action lawsuit in the USA over disinformation regarding availability of refueling stations to cater to such vehicles is being fought. Toyota's hydrogen cars are totally inoperable in the USA, with claims that only 49 refueling stations are available throughout the USA. That is a sick joke. Coupled with that scarcity, driving long distances and finding frequent breakdowns of those refueling stations are making refueling totally a disastrous affair for such car owners. Putting the cart before the horse can never work, and Toyota should have more refueling stations readily available.

It is reported that Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell cars were originally priced at US$51,000, then discounted to US$25,000 as problems arose and escalated. A further discount saw its price cut to US$10,000. Now it is selling at US$10,000 with no takers. Who wants a car that cannot be driven without refueling stations in support? Toyota lost a fortune on its hydrogen bet.

And the Philippines is also going under with investments fleeing the country. Suffice to say, South Korea will have its come-uppance for selling weapons to Ukraine. Russia is doing the same with North Korea. South Korea has no 'exceptionalism' to protect its destiny, unlike the USA.
