And there comes the BRICS boys....

 

On the ocassion of the 6th Summit of the BRICS countries held in Fortalesa, Brazil, this geopolitical alter bloc leaves the impression of a more empowered, enhanced and reinforced group, with newer and heavier proposals, for this time, in creating a counterpunch to the International Monetary Fund with an initial fund of $50 billions and to found an energy common association to enhance cooperation between its members, having Russia, Brazil and China as their strongest partners in this field. This time, with the White House entangled in such conflicting areas and with no clear goals such as in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Libya, and with a lack of coherence in its foreign policy, the BRICS look stronger, with much more coordination, with a unified vision of the world, and having definitely a common purpose of easing a transition to a multipolar system of many world powers instead of a unipolar one (which is by the way reaching to its very end soon). Many steps have been taken or in the best case proposed by many BRICS countries such as for example Russia, trying to change the world currency and the international oil trading from US dollars to a different currency or a basket of currencies, alongside with China. Russia, facing a some kind of a rehearsal of economic sanctions have stepped hard to disengage from the US leaned organization system in the financial and technological sector such as implanting and establishing its very own GPS system (they already have GLONASS, a genuine russian global positioning system), plus the Kremlin is making moves to expel VISA and MASTERCARD definitely from the russian financial system, etc, which shows that this time is for real that the BRICS with, say Russia at its head, will alter the geopolitical world lanscape in a short time. Take for example, which countries and companies, if taken together, are taking the lead in the oil and gas context. Where the former seven sisters EXXON, CHEVRON, CONOCO, BP are selling out assets, facilities and shares in countries like Iraq, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Brazil, we have the ROSNEFTS, the CNPCS, the PETROCHINAS, PETROBRAS, ONGC, LUKOIL expanding and moving aggresively buying and buying more assets and having larger chunks of the world oil participation, former belonging to the former seven sisters. One very example of this strategic changing geopolitics is the purchase made by ROSNEFT of the MORGAN STANLEY oil trading unit in the US, waiting for its final approval in the White House. I mean, this is very serious, proving that no longer the system is White House oriented. The point here is that between the BRICS members all things related to coordination, understanding, harmony, unification and common goals is kept for many years, and to not let things happen as for example to the OPEC (its no secret the huge abysm and political and religious differences between their members), and if this is taken into consideration, well the BRICS could be the founding stone of a new multipolar era this time for real.
