“BRICS” Just Doubled Overnight. The acronym stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Today, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Iran are officially members of BRICS.

The players for WW3 are shaping up.

You know the US is going to try to undermine this new axis of power.

I don't think a slaughter can be called a war. If it's nuclear, perhaps things will be different, but I doubt the US doesn't have something secret against nukes. If not, they basically begged for defeat.

BRICS has three nuclear powers and China and Russia both have large militaries. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any NATO nation besides the US has more than a token military force.

I don't think that being a nuclear power means the same anymore as in the 1980s; back then they could launch missiles and you would know the world would end, right now I think there is enough technology to intercept them. I agree with your statement regarding token military forces.

I think the technology the US has is so much more advanced than any of its adversaries that it's really no comparison.

The only weakness the US has, is that its Congress has some Russian puppets.
