Good Afternoon,
50+ Countries Want to Join BRICS: US Global Power Faces Collapse
The defining geopolitical question of 2025 is no longer if but how many nations want to join BRICS. At the time of writing, more than 50 countries have signaled interest, with 23 submitting formal applications and another 28 expressing informal interest. The latest to step forward is Vietnam, underscoring how BRICS expansion has become a global phenomenon reshaping power dynamics.
🔹 Current BRICS Membership
BRICS has grown from its original five members to 11 full members. The most recent additions include:
- Indonesia (January 2025)
- Saudi Arabia (July 2025)
- Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the UAE (earlier expansions)
With these inclusions, BRICS now represents nearly half the world’s population and over 41% of global GDP. Beyond members, the alliance has also established partnerships with Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan.
This network shows that BRICS is building more than a trade bloc—it is constructing a parallel system of alliances and institutions outside Western dominance.
🔹 Europe’s Bold Moves Toward BRICS
Despite Western pressure, several European nations are eyeing membership:
- Belarus – the most vocal candidate, citing sanctions relief.
- Serbia – the first European nation to express interest.
- Turkey – a NATO member now openly pursuing BRICS ties.
This demonstrates that BRICS is not merely an alliance of the “Global South” but one that is starting to fracture Europe’s unity under Western influence.
🔹 Asia and Africa Lead Expansion
The strongest wave of new interest comes from Asia and Africa, with countries such as:
Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Chad, Colombia, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Laos, Kuwait, Morocco, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Palestine, Senegal, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Syria, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and more.
Vietnam’s entry highlights a sovereignty-driven shift, as many nations seek alternatives to dollar-based trade systems.
🔹 The July 2025 Rio Summit
At the Rio Summit, leaders debated the pace of expansion.
- China, Russia, and Iran push for rapid enlargement.
- Brazil and India prefer a slower, consensus-based approach.
Brazil’s President Lula da Silva captured the moment:
“We are witnessing an unprecedented collapse of multilateralism.”
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed the developments, declaring:
“BRICS is dead.”
Yet the facts suggest the opposite: BRICS is growing rapidly.
🔹 Key Takeaway
The BRICS expansion wave signals nothing short of a global realignment of power. With over 50 nations vying for entry, BRICS is becoming the counterweight to U.S. hegemony.
Trump’s tariff threats may slow trade, but they cannot stop the structural transformation already underway. The more countries that join BRICS, the stronger the momentum for de-dollarization and multipolar finance—a fundamental shift the U.S. cannot easily reverse.
