The BRICS alliance continues to demonstrate resilience and growth despite significant internal tensions and differing political ideologies among its members. By expanding its membership to include nations such as Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, the group has increased its share of the global population and economic output. While rivalries between major players like China and India persist, the coalition remains united by a shared objective: creating a multipolar world order and reducing the global reliance on Western-dominated financial and political institutions.
- The alliance has nearly doubled in size, recently integrating four new members to broaden its influence across the Global South.
- Member states now represent approximately 35% of the world’s economic output when measured by purchasing power parity, surpassing the G7 nations.
- A central motivation for the group is the development of alternative payment systems to decrease vulnerability to Western-led sanctions and the dominance of the US dollar.
- Significant internal friction remains, particularly regarding border disputes and regional competition between India and China.
- The group lacks a unified political structure, containing a mix of democracies and autocracies with varying foreign policy priorities.
- The New Development Bank provides an alternative for infrastructure funding, allowing member states to access capital without the traditional conditions imposed by the IMF or World Bank.

BRICS now includes countries that have serious geopolitical tensions with each other. Is this a strength — forcing dialogue and cooperation — or a weakness that risks internal division? Share your thoughts below.
As Nato falling apart and US going to take denmark they need to tell their people look Brics is failed which is not a military alliance😂😂😂😂 Western media is joke
the answer is the same as "How come UN isn’t falling apart?" when its members war with each others, also "How come ASEAN isn’t falling apart?" when thailand-cambodia war erupted.
full blown projection right here
BRICS is a joke. Without a military alliance such as NATO in the current geopolitical events , BRICS it's deemed to fail in future .
Brics is an Economic organisation.
Why would it break apart?
NATO doesnt fall apart when US was on the edge to attack Denmark militarily
Worry about Nato
🤣Best is how the West is coping with the fact that Brics still stands strong, and there is nothing the West can do 🤣
Why would BRICS condemn Iran when Iran has a right to defend itself? The US launched its war from military bases or using airspace of the Gulf countries and Iran responded by hitting those bases and a little more.
DW 0:33 must focus on why NATO failling US 💔 EU🤣🤣& look at EU ( eastern side eu many country want to come out from EU )eu chief begging please make unity 😂😂
how come NATO isnt falling apart despite US-Denmark tensions and US-Canada tensions?
Wishful thinking😂
This is very confusing, Professor. You have to flesh this out.
Because it's a economic alliance not military .. simple as that
Why is Nato or G7 not falling yet.. even after so much disagreement 😂 we know your game plan …When BRICS will make move everyone will be shake ✅
DW should probably cover why NATO or EU is not falling apart
(Cause unlike BRICS countries, Europe is good at sucking upto their step daddy donald even if it's against their own national interests and BRICS countries respect each other )
Maybe BRICS can make a core group without GCC to confront the USA 💯
Pointless & useless discussion instead of what's actually happening in the world
Europa e Estados Unidos nunca fizeram questão de "ajudar" ou ter relações saudáveis com nenhum dos países do BRICS, há centenas de anos só nos enxergam como colônias prontas para serem exploradas, e agora que essas "colônias" se uniram para fazer comércio entre si sem explorar uns aos outros, os países que só procuravam tirar vantagens de nós ficam surpresos ao verem um progresso, mesmo que seja minúsculo.
O mundo não é só Europa e América do Norte. Se estão se sentindo incomodados com o BRICS então é sinal de que estamos no caminho certo.
Aos que estão surpresos por não estarmos em desgraça, deixo aqui uma expressão que as vezes usamos aqui no Brasil: "OU ATURA OU SURTA !! "
How does this compare to USA and the G7 and G20? USA and the EU? USA and NATO? Tension between Germany and Russia? EU and UK? EU and China? USA and China?
Because there's nothing to fall apart, BRICS is an empty box, it has no relevance
LMAO jealousyy
BRICS
Are the Future, America has Shot its Bolt & the Dollar has to be discarded as the International Trading Currency, we in the Real World can see the Effect that one Nation like America can have when they Decide to go ROGUE.
Having America playing on a Level playing Field will change the Whole Worlds Economy for the BETTER.
Good grief, let me just start by saying your video title hit me with the kind of intellectual slap that made me put down my tea, stare at the wall, and whisper to myself, “Luise, pull yourself together, this creator is out here asking the real questions while you’re still trying to remember where you left your charger.” Honestly, the way you frame global geopolitics feels like you’re inviting us into your living room for a chat, except instead of cookies you’re serving existential clarity, and wow, I’m here for it. And speaking of resilience, huh, it reminded me of the time I tried to hold my family together during a group WhatsApp argument about who forgot to buy onions. I was there typing paragraphs like a UN peace negotiator, telling myself “Luise, breathe… you can do this… you were built for diplomacy,” while my aunt kept sending voice notes that sounded like she was testifying in court. And somehow, just like BRICS, the group didn’t fall apart, probably because everyone was too stubborn to leave and too invested to quit. That’s the thing your video title made me think about: sometimes systems survive not because they’re perfect, but because everyone involved is like “Well, we’re already here, so let’s make it work.” Whew, thank heavens for creators like you who take these massive global dynamics and make them feel like relatable life lessons wrapped in world news. You make me laugh, you make me think, and you make me question why my own alliances crumble faster than my New Year’s resolutions.
Its an opportunistic and pragmatic grouping.
Same reason why Russia isn't out of ammo.
Thanks, very interesting!
DW is on USAID payroll?
UAE allows a non Brics country to attack a Brics country. UAE 🇦🇪 has 🪖 military 🇺🇸 in it .
Tehran is not at war with the sultans or emirs —they are at war with the aggressive and unwelcome US bases targeted against them, on their-own region and in the kremlin's Caspian-Gulf Corridor sphere…
Clearly, Tehran, Beijing and the kremlin are interested in another Montreux Convention type agreement over the straight of Homuz
Before those countries joined BRICS last year, they already had problems with each other, so Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa can't do anything about it.
How come NATO isn't falling apart?
Because it's so irrelevant
The world is very much near to a big devasted destructions.
Let's Stop 🛑 this War now to save the planet Earth & Humanity!! If possible??
Do not Cross all the limits – els this beautiful planet – Earth will be turned into ash in coming years or days.
The World has so far failed to save Humanity on this planet Earth –
Now let's try to save the Earth.
Stop 🛑 hitting hard your planet Earth 🌎🌍 !!
With your missiles & AI technology.
All sides now, most likely are ready to attack each other by " Nuclear warheads/Weapons.
Nothing is intact – EU / The UN Council/ G7 /G20 / OPEC/ SARC – the entire world & populations are deeply divided and follow its own rules of – Law of own self Convenient.
Wow, DW accidentally invited a competent guest.
Saudi Arabia is not part of BRICS!
Out of all, India is the biggest flip-flopper, it should be removed from BRICS
easy, they mean nothing, they stand for nothing.
They are just a club where member signed up, never conduct meetings or plan anything.
BRICKS won't fall apart because it has no structure or infrastructure
按这个观点，联合国没必要存在了。🤷
the west insulting each other = why brics isnt falling apart. huh?
Maybe BRICS nations might be the only one surviving well by the end of this century. Those who rely on US military will go down the drains like the Arab countries are doing now. Another trump might replace current aged one soon enough.
