The 15th BRICS Summit has decided to bring in Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as new members.
The full membership of new countries in BRICS will begin on January 1 2024, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Thursday.
Symbolic representation matters, especially if the bloc continues to grow. I wonder if there will be a legitimate desire for a name that goes beyond an acronym. The nice thing about something like “Warsaw Pact” was that it could be used for any number of participants.
They could call it “The International Community”
Oh the international community isn’t going to like that at all.
Well, they already have the “Rules-Based International Order”, how about the “Kicks Ass-Based International Order?”, or the “Totally Shreds-Based International Order”.

BRICS+, Expanded BRICS; and BRICSX, where X represents the number of member states, are all acceptable.
