The BRICS organisation, often referred to as BRICS+ due to its continued expansion, make no mistake is here to stay. Those nations, members or partners, which make up the BRICS community, are well aware of the benefits accruing from membership or association in terms of national sovereignty and economic benefit.

The Old Order Is Changing: BRICS and the New Economic Architecture – By Dr Ranjan Solomon, October 27, 2025
So, you see that BRICS is not an ‘anti-West’ adventure, but more an economic alliance built to avoid the worst, crushing aspects of the long dominant colonialism and hegemony of the West. That the West has taken this as a call to war – economic or otherwise – was, I guess, to be expected. They know no other way.
Here is a quote from that article…
The West has been jolted into a phase of self-assertion, not because it is confident about its own future, but because it senses the ground shifting beneath its feet. The emergence of BRICS as a cohesive economic and political force has triggered deep anxiety in Washington, Brussels, and London. For decades, Western powers took for granted that they alone could define the grammar of world order—through the IMF, World Bank, NATO, the dollar, and the cultural hegemony of liberal capitalism. That grammar is now being rewritten. It is not being erased overnight, but it is losing coherence, and the world is beginning to speak in other tongues.
