good move to build economy beyond west control & hegemony.

[@bertronix182]

BRICS is made to fight and counter the west and create a new "world order". It's a big trap if small countries join Brics with those barbaric countries like Iran, China, and Russia. India and Brazil is only there for economic purposes but these small countries like Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand joining Brics will just be a slave country in Brics. Theres a reason why Argentina, Saudi Arabia declined the invitation to join Brics. You already know the reason. Btw. Malaysia is like a china state with 60% of their population is chinese ethnicity. I'm not shock.

I will support PMX's decision to join BRICS even if I don't agree with his policy. So that you don't want to be cheated by the IMF even if there is an effect on ASEAN when talking about US-EU & Russia-China geopolitics. However, the people have to know. If not, America is not happy, there is no question of bringing up the issue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq & Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, and there is no denying the issue of Iran & Turkey when under threat.

Lg satu matawang Brics yg bakal dilancarkan nilaian dikira dgn Harga EMAS semasa Tetapi Bank Mana Yg Akan Memegang Simpanan EMAS Negara Anggota? Bank Of China? Atau Bank Di Russia?
