    Anybody who thinks joining BRICS will give them financial or physical security is a fool, tbh, but I can’t find it in me to condemn proper incentivized diplomacy.

    Good for them.

        Idk, they’ve bailed out entire nation’s failing economies. It’s not like they started repossessing furniture or anything, lol.

        EDIT: I do admit they can be weaponized by refusing to work with nations on the basis of political alignment.

          IMF have usually demanded austerity which usually leads to government schemes for the poors to be cut. They also demand political alignment to western demands.

    Tfw the bus you’re on is veering off to some place you don’t want it to go.

    It’s a thousand cuts, frog in pot thing, I know, but idk when I should hop off and whether the place I landed turned to be the burner instead.
