BRICS is equivalent ~ to a `Survivors’ Group’ but on a nation-state level. Ask any Victims’ Advocate. Every Social Worker and Sociologist who is involved in Domestic Violence recognizes that BRICS is proportional to oc but greater than > a local Woman’s Shelter. The USA is much greater than >> the typical abusive, narcissistic, controlling ex-boyfriend.
Scott’s idea off the top of his head about sabatoged fuel as an idea of what the new weapon may be reminds me of a similar type of sabatoge in the Tintin comic book, The Land of Black Gold, by Herge.
The Thompson Twin detectives suspected local auto mechanics of the sabatoge but the cub reporter, Tintin, traced it to the source of the oil in the Middle East.
If true, that would not be the first time a Tintin Comic Series plot came true decades later.
I came to watch this discussion and was initially put off by the 2 hour length. But then after watching for an hour i realised how i was gaining such insight as to what’s going on. The discussion helped coalesce all these independent articles and pieces of news i had previously read, but which didn’t really mean anything. It’s like pieces of a jigsaw finally coming together. Thankyou, Scott, Pepe, Mark and Joe. (Shame President Lula da Silva cannot attend the meeting in person.)
Unable to access. What’s this about “signing in”?
Nothing to do with us Larry. Sounds like you might have been signed out of YouTube and are required to sign in again, but can you access any other YouTube videos?
To which currency will BRICS be tied? Or are we talking about a common currency a la the Euro? Doesn’t there have to be a standard currency that converts others? I read about the unveiling of the BRICS pay card, so I was wondering if it will take dollar transfers as well.
Are others able to watch this? It keeps failing
It seems to be working now.
The West keeps failing
would you be so kind?
Thanks ahead of time.
Commentary and Collorary to this discussion:
the inestimable George Galloway

That was brilliant Wlodek. His style of speaking and humour are second to none. And when Mr. Galloway mentioned a boomerang, i thought about the stealth bomber the US spent millions on, sending to Yemen recently. Because the photo i saw of it resembled a boomerang and i thought how it might return to them without using fuel. (A joke.)
Thanks Valerie
It’s heartening to hear that others appreciate such brilliant speakers. I can only refer to the tradition of ancient art of Greek and some Roman orators which in my humble opinion George Galloway is continuing to this day.
Never give up!
Not being familiar with Kazan, I googled it.
An ancient city with amazing architecture.
Worth checking out !
Yes BRICS is rising!
A clever new economic and payment system will resolve even a certain percentage of the middle east debacle because BRICS is DECOLONISATION by other means.
‘Other’ meaning peaceful!
Real change, through direct international consensual negotiations is what democratic procedure is all about, which the US regime is not yet acquainted with.
Something the US regime will have to get used to, if it does not first cause us all to be blown to smithereens in a hailstorm of nuclear missiles.
Comment intended to spoil the Duopoly party’s insane thinking!
May BRICS build its capacity to end the hegemonic financial terrorism of the west, and therefore end the genocidal leanings of the state of Israel, the USA, and the collective west towards West Asia. Pepe is right in saying these wars by western nations are directly or indirectly aimed at the threat BRICS poses for the western hegemons.
