According to the West …and even some supportive analysts… BRICS, as an organisation, is either all washed up and collapsing (presumably over the war in West Asia, in which many BRICS members and partners are embroiled), or in some form of comatose state. There may have been a moment of stunned amazement – Trump’s illegal and immoral war against Iran stunned the whole world for a while – but BRICS has fully recovered from that reverie and is forging ahead with new developments as this year (chaired by India) continues to unfold. BRICS is, in fact, closer together than ever.
I am not going to expand on that here, because I think it is all brilliantly analysed in this ‘Think BRICS’ – an independent organisation set up to promote the BRICS narrative – latest video, expertly explained by presenter Anastasia G. Please watch and listen carefully to what she says. There is a lot of new and vital information in there, which I feel will ensure continued BRICS growth for years to come. Perhaps as a direct result of this diabolical conflict, which is set also to bring to an end Western dominance of our long beleaguered world and usher in a fairer, more just, and freer era of cooperative growth and prosperity for all, with all thought of hegemons set aside in the waste-bins of history. And no mending of BRICS fractures required. There are no BRICS fractures. Just the stench of Western fear that their time is over.
I feel I must say – because I have not seen it said anywhere else just yet – and with no disrespect to Anastasia, who I think is exactly the right presenter in that spot, that this video (and I have watched many of her previous presentations) may be AI generated, including a superb soundtrack which catches her voice with precision and personal inflections but without the unusual sound gaps (pauses) of her natural vocal rendition of earlier narratives which made it sometimes quite difficult to follow.
I don’t know Anastasia’s background but I think English is not her first language. I mean no criticism of Anastasia, in fact I find her to be quite charming, and I do not dismiss the idea that she may have recently received some vocal training in delivery of the language. But this has all happened rather too quickly for that scenario and the new vocal style makes listening to her rendition of the narrative much less straining and easier to digest. For me she is the voice of BRICS.
