BRICS: The New World Order Is Here, And The West Is Shaking In Its Boots
For decades, the West has called the shots. The U.S. dollar dominated global markets, NATO dictated military power, and Europe, along with the U.S., pulled the strings of global diplomacy. But that world is crumbling. A seismic shift is happening right now, and at the epicenter of this new world order is BRICS—an alliance of powerhouses that’s poised to reshape the entire global landscape.
The Rise of BRICS: A Counterbalance to the West
What started as a modest coalition of five nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—has now evolved into a force that’s rattling the very foundations of Western dominance. BRICS, originally formed in 2009, was built on one premise: challenging the U.S.-led global order. And now, with the latest additions of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Argentina, and Iran, BRICS is flexing muscles that even the G7 can’t ignore.
The numbers are staggering. Together, BRICS nations control more than 40% of the world’s population, over 25% of the global GDP, and a massive share of natural resources. With new oil-rich members like Saudi Arabia and the UAE on board, this alliance is increasingly becoming a powerhouse not just of emerging economies, but of global significance. And the West is watching—helplessly—as this new bloc realigns world power.
The 22 – 24th October 2024 BRICS Summit in Russia: Putin’s Power Play
The 2024 BRICS Summit in Russia is a turning point. For Vladimir Putin, this summit is an opportunity to demonstrate Russia’s undeniable influence, despite being ostracized by the West. Facing sanctions and international condemnation over Ukraine, Putin is leveraging BRICS as a lifeline, bypassing the West and forming partnerships with countries that share a vision of a multipolar world.
But Putin isn’t alone in shaping the future of BRICS. The presence of world leaders like India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi adds a significant layer of global credibility to this alliance. Modi, having steered India into becoming a global tech and economic hub, is playing a key role in balancing the strategic interests of BRICS members.
PM Modi: India’s Rising Global Influence
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has emerged as a critical player in this new world order. Modi has championed a vision of India as a leader of the Global South—a voice for developing nations on the world stage. With India’s economy booming and its strategic importance growing, Modi has positioned India as the bridge between East and West. ️
India’s participation in BRICS is not just about economic alignment; it’s about reshaping global governance. Modi’s diplomacy has always aimed at reducing dependence on Western institutions and fostering a multipolar world. His push for reform in global financial systems, coupled with India’s neutral stance on international conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war, has only strengthened India’s standing within BRICS. Modi’s influence is pivotal in shaping the future of BRICS, as he continues to balance India’s global aspirations with the strategic imperatives of the BRICS alliance.
De-Dollarization: Breaking the West’s Economic Chains
The single most potent weapon in the West’s arsenal has been the U.S. dollar. It’s the global reserve currency, meaning every country that wants to trade has to go through the greenback—and in doing so, they hand over leverage to the U.S. ✊
BRICS has had enough. This growing bloc is now openly talking about de-dollarization—ditching the dollar in international trade and building financial systems independent of the Western banking network. With heavyweights like China and oil-rich Saudi Arabia leading the charge, this isn’t just talk—it’s a threat to the very foundation of the U.S.’s global dominance.
PM Modi, along with BRICS leaders, has been vocal about creating alternatives to the dollar-centric financial system. The idea of a BRICS currency is not just a pipe dream anymore; it’s a direct challenge to the West’s financial hegemony. If successful, this would cripple the West’s control over global financial systems and mark a monumental shift in economic power. Modi’s leadership in pushing this agenda only amplifies India’s growing role in the global economy.
The West’s Toothless Response: Where’s NATO, Where’s the U.S.? ♂️
In the face of BRICS’ rapid expansion, where’s the West? Nowhere. The U.S. and its NATO allies have been busy with internal conflicts, economic instability, and political distractions (hello, U.S. elections) while BRICS has steadily gained ground. ♂️
The West’s inability to address the rising power of BRICS is staggering. NATO, which thrives on military dominance, can’t just roll tanks into this geopolitical battle. The U.S., which has long bullied nations through economic sanctions and financial dominance, suddenly finds its power slipping away as more nations gravitate toward BRICS and the new financial alternatives it promises.
U.S. Elections: A Distraction That Could Seal the Deal
While BRICS strengthens its global influence, the U.S. is consumed by its own internal chaos. The November 2024 U.S. elections are shaping up to be a circus, with President Biden struggling to maintain international credibility while the specter of Donald Trump looms large.
As the U.S. tears itself apart over partisan politics, BRICS is quietly reshaping the world. Whoever wins the White House will inherit a world where the U.S. is no longer the uncontested leader of the free world. As BRICS moves forward with plans to de-dollarize global trade, increase strategic partnerships, and consolidate its power, the U.S. is stuck in a political loop that distracts from the global game being played.
What’s Next? BRICS Is Here to Stay, and the West Better Wake Up
The expansion of BRICS signals that a new global order is no longer just on the horizon—it’s here. ⚡ The Western dominance that shaped the post-World War II world is fading, and BRICS is emerging as a legitimate, powerful alternative.
With new members, new alliances, and a growing influence over the world’s energy, financial, and political sectors, BRICS is poised to lead a multipolar world where no single power holds all the cards. The world is changing, and BRICS is holding the pen that will write the next chapter of global history. ✍️
The U.S. and its allies are faced with a stark choice: adapt to this new reality, or watch their influence wane as BRICS takes over. Either way, one thing is clear—BRICS isn’t just a coalition of countries anymore. It’s a new world order.
And with PM Modi’s rising influence, India is sitting right at the center of this global shift, ready to redefine its role in the world for decades to come.
