@icedquinn@mk@Autumn@Nazareno USA was a total dck for playing with the SWIFT system, but still, LATAM countries are usually poor and staying neutral is usually the best for them.
I don't see any benefit for Bolivia, Venezuela, Guyana, Jamaica, Nicaragua, etc etc, to join BRICS. At best, it serves well when you can't pay international loans, but your country will be isolated.
Just look how good been NATO for Europe, whole Europe bleeds because energy and heating costs. Specially now when "smart germans" decided to shut down Nuclear reactors because some autistic Swedish teen said so
USA will not allow that easily, but also they would get isolated from neighbor countries. Those countries are not wealthy enough to play geopolitics unless China pays for that.
@djsumdog@alex I'm so tired to correct Wikipedia about articles with questionable facts.
Wikipedia has this "we trust certain media outlets", so people just take words from journalists and make them factual. The only way to "correct their articles" is quoting "reliable perennial sources" or peer-reviewed papers.
