I realise from some of his specific references, that he actually keeps a close track on Indian RU-vidr analysis, the english speaking part of it. It would be great, if he gave credit to them though.

Instead of dismissing everyone who tried to provide some correction to his assumption as "hyper nationalist indian" and actually cared to listen. But overall reasonable analysis is gicen by whatifalthist.

We indians see it as saying to china that *" Ok we are enemies but just cause Russia invited us we are here "*

Brics is entirely a power play lead by the CCP. It's explicitly anti NATO from the CCP lead side as it's literally the CCPs Hegemony vs the USs Hegemony and the CCP is attempted to steal the USs Thunder. The economic side of the equation is rather simple if ones into geopolitcal economics as a past time. The CCP lead BRICS is a pro commodity economic bloc. The WEF side (Western) is a pro finance side. Both sides are vying for power over the other to lead which ever doctrine wins out. The truth is that the BRICS side wins by default on their theory, but they're self sabotaging because the CCPs innate internal political behavior is not conducive to organic growth. Russia itself is pretty much a Despotic lead Federation and is sanctioned heavily since its invasion of Georgia during the last major economic mealt down. Iran is just... a crackpot. And Brazil has notorious corruption issues (you can't hide this. It's obvious). While the west has major issues with corruption that its better at hiding, its even better that its economic bloc is well established, robust and extremely wealthy. It's taken something as bad as a Joe Biden President and a historically low rated Congress to really drag the US down to a low nearly as bad as the late 70s. China, Russia, Iran, Brazil, they all do not have the economic stock to survive major dips once connected. A lot of that rests squarely on China which is probably the biggest liar in the world in terms of its economic health. Since 2015, their economy has been propped up mostly by propaganda and data manipulation. This has lead the potentially dominance of BRICS dead in the water before they even left port because each nation is just individually not in a peer to peer match for the WEF aligned states. However that said, the WEF igned states are currently going full retard on purpose because believe it or not, Klaus Schwab (who leads the WEF as its his brain child) is actually very interested in the CCPs style of economic governance. He directly praises Xi's State Capitalist structure over the Free Market Capitalist structure of the traditional west. What he proposes is an advanced form that's in line with Xi's Communist Theory (he's written several) that he calls 'Stake Holder Capitalism' which is the aim of Xi in China. The idea is the supplant the world's sovereign nations with an umbrella order that he quite literally named the New Liberal World Order and that forum will have Technocrats that lead a super national totalitarian technocracy. The only difference between his idea and the CCPs is that the CCP is exclusively Sinocentric and affective racist. They're nationalist so all their theories declare them being the head of the Global Hegemonic State in a form of Sino-supremacy. Western Leaders seems to be ok with that because so long as they get their slice of the pie, they don't care. That's why ESG exists, to keep their approval within the new order rather it be the WEFs idea or the CCPs. With the West following such destructive policies as ESG, SEL, CRT, CQT and more, there is a chance BRICS can succeed because despite their fascistic habits locally, they do tend to favor actual scientific study and results where as the ESG, SEL ecf models do not. The ideological gnosticism of the leaders of the West can be their downfall, allowing the CCP and Russia some leverage to rebound - although I don't see this happening by a long shot. That said, the BRICs vs the West fight has been and always was a geopolitical power play by China and close allies, Russia and Iran. Even now, Russia and India along with Iran are rekindling partnerships to secure that isolated, parallel commodity base economic bloc by revisiting seriously the Persian canal project that would build a trade traffic capable canal from the coast and through Tehran, all the way to the Caspian Sea, bypassing the western hegemonic grasp at the Strait of Harmuz. They are still trying to make it work and the obvious decoupling between the two major blocs is on purpose, part of that power play. It'll likely still fail spectacularly but the incompetence and dogmatic nature of the Western leaders to keep their virtue in this gnostic cancer of Neo Marxisf origin could make the competition close regardless.

How

You summarized it pretty well. Brazil has a great potential and Brazilian people are extremely creative but the culture of laziness and jealousy impedes the country to compete internationally expect in small irrelevant things. If the culture changes the country changes, but this is uncertain to happen.

@@lorenzodeagostini8941 Thank you for the response. I want Brazil to do well, I really do. I like it in many ways, and would not have lived there for 7 years if I didn't. And as you point out, one of the things I genuinely love about Brazil is its creativity. The way they just do little things to turn problems into solutions. But I believe this will only start to benefit the country as a whole when Brazilians start to orient themselves to the international market. Like my brilliant programmer friends did when they gave up on Brazilian companies and outsourced to the US.

​@@bennettbullock9690 All very similar problems to many countries around the world. We have a similar problem in eastern Europe, but perhaps just slightly less pronounced. Another thing true here, that I wouldn't be shocked is true in most other developing countries is horrible generational wealth transfer What I mean is this. Many people come from poor backgrounds, and they dream about earning more money any way possible, so they can share with their relatives, act as a savior and of course spoil their kids rotten. When building wealth, entrepreneurs face certain "filters" as I call them. The first one is not to overspend after initial success, and the next one is not to throw meritocracy out of the window and stuff your company with friends and relatives. Yet, that is exactly what happens in developing countries. A successful entrepreneur is seen as a savior of a family, and is expected to uplift everyone else. As a consequence everyone around him becomes lazy, unproductive and lacks any initiative of their own. Many parents build companies specifically because they want to employ their kids there, as they want to avoid them having to go through hardship. All of this usually goes horribly wrong as soon as the initial hard working founder retires or more likely dies. Offspring and relatives start scratching their heads, as they cannot for the life of them figure out what made the company tick till recently. People in developing countries need to become more what is perceived as selfish. Keep the spoils for yourself, invest into business, do help your kids, but don't hold their hand and don't be patronizing to them.

@@julius43461 That is an excellent point you make about the dynamics of family businesses. In Brazil something like 70% of large enterprises are family-owned. Anyway, thank you for your perspective. As an American, I do struggle to understand other cultures' value systems. Not to self-flagellate. One should never dislike what they are or where they come from.

Also funny to act as if the second largest economy being in a decline means it's "over". I mean, don't get me wrong, China's got its problems, and the real estate bubble was indeed epic, but the US had a depression, huge economic disparity, and generational issues and came out of it to become the de facto largest economy.

I believe culture may have play a larger than expected. In a country called Malaysia, the majority of population Malay were the one to receive most welfare and government job oppoturnity. But most of them are generally poor, lazy, inferior in higher education as professional, prefer to spend more money rather than hoarding. While the Malaysia chinese, that have been born in Malaysia for more than three generations, who receive no specific welfare like Malay had, are generally more rich, hardworking, taking position in most professional field (such as doctor), and own most companies in Malaysia. In Malaysia, corruption is common and yet the Chinese is hardworking. The chinese receive no specific support from government and yet they perform better than Malay. And the biggest cultural difference between Malay and Chinese is that Malay prefer to enjoy life more than the Chinese do. And malay generally do not like hoarding money like the Chinese, which of course will cause many troubles later on in their life. There was even a time where government run an education campaign to tell the public to have money hoarding habit.

it could be that both these things prop up the other. the culture of low work ethic and corruption worsens the ability for a stable and prosperous government to get into power, so the corrupt government makes hard work not pay off, which culturally makes people value work ethic even less, which causes the government to struggle even more to get value. sure culture isn't an end all, but they drive us more than we'd like to think sometimes.

I will explain he is 80% wrong in every video if you can use internet and everything is falling a part because of dollar ponzi blowing up and brics + is trying to create an alternative ponzi system where we don't have to depend on the west but the west want to depend on the east backed by comodity based currency

U also need to understand 500 years Europe looted rest of the world mainly India and was built on it and discovered USA and it's also mostly financed by china opium trade and it's funny Europe destroyed by 2 world wars and financed by ponzi to rebuild including Japan and korea and china saved USD ponzi after that rest of the Asia completely opened to ponzi now every country except for India and some Asia have potential to grow using debt but don't want to

India will be defacto world leader if there is a reset or default on debt because India will have 30% of the world population and youngest one USA will be failed state without USD ponzi most Western countries don't understand it's significant and that's what most of your economics and GDP look at Indian channels to understand what I am saying we you will understand everything except what the debt problem

Most of the world including china have falling demographics except for middle East, Africa and Indian subcontinent because we didn't adopt the dollar ponzi we are late and reluctant to join it

The US is directly responsible for the EU. It's an American project going back to the EC after WWII and then the ECM. LOOK IT UP! 😮

Weird way to say you’re out of touch with you surroundings and live in complete delusion.

@@AMITAWAGHADE India is a very big and complex country It's harder for ordinary people to understand what's Indian government is doing,what's going to happen near future for the country

put your head down and your ass to work. dont think about things you have no control over.

Indians will perhaps seek closer allignment with some other partners, like the EU, as they become stronger. And move away from the silicon valley created order.

@@AMITAWAGHADE bro i have been all around India. It may seem intact but there are so many things going on that and each one of them individually has the capacity to destroy countries. I'm almost convinced it's just god's will that keeps India together.

The name sounded nice

For a military alliance, sure. But the power of their cooperation is monetary, not military. They both switch to a gold standard along with Saudi, and the West collapses overnight. He who has the gold makes the rules. And Ft. Knox has never been audited.

@@grugnotice7746 read an economics book on why the gold standard failed before posting ignorant comments, you jokers really need to learn math and read an economics book before going online and yapping on topics you dont grasp

@@eduwino151 lmao just let a foreign bank print your reserves infinitely that is so much better than just using gold. But gold won't let us go to war every five minutes! That's BAD! Krugman called, he wants his penis back.

@@grugnotice7746 jokers who cant do math have been jerking off about gold standard killing the west for 3 decades now the same countries you are yapping about cant function minus western tech and markets

中國是主權國家 而日本只是美國養的一條狗

There really isnt many similarities however, his assessment is horrible.

@@YourSocialistAutomaton how so

​@@YourSocialistAutomaton Yeah, the difference is Japan made sure to get friendly with everyone and got most of their population into decent wealth before the decline. Unfortunately China is going to decline before the transition is complete, and they will have few friends.

I doesn't matter for usa cause all trade is done in us dollars so they can just print more money and pay the extra Trade

Just look at America's trade deficit just look how much their state is in debt. Should they ever lose their grondious advantage in having the world reserve currency. They gonna wake up in a bad spot, for a few years. And the trust in Dollar is not what it used to be.

@@mam0lechinookclan607 it wont just affect the U.S though.

@@Sceptonic yes this will not effect the US only, but all in all i think the world will be a better place without dollar superiority. I like the US, but they enjoyed an unfair irrational advantage for far to long. Look at their valuation of their biggest tech companys. Most of them, even after the las crash, have insane KGVs. And the governmental debt has gone over the critical point, there is now no comming back.

@@mam0lechinookclan607 after another even greater depression occurs, it could happen.

Very typical western way of thinking, all those empires that you mentioned are all Western Empire, you should look deep into history, and learn what the Chinese did in the East, the best way is to learn who is Cheng He, and what happened to his voyage.

Here at Morgan Industries, we try to avoid the label of monopoly. The reason being that it is not out of some malicious intent or strategy that we currently hold the vast majority of the market. It is simply that our current line of products and services are of such quality that the rest of the market simply sees no need to compete. -Sid Meyers Alpha Centauri

Actually, what you are describing is the evolution of imperialism, which is NOT unique to America. In previous centuries, the expansion and maintenance of empires required the use of force. This included the many invasions of Latin America by U.S. forces in the late 19th century. But from the 20th century on, ALL the empires shifted to a system that favored diplomacy and only resorted to violence as a last resort. This includes the USSR which you erroneously referred to as an old-school empire. The USSR would offer countries an alternative to American imperialism in the same exact way you described the American approach of letting it's enemies do the advertising and giving countries a choice. Cuba for example was deceived by the American empire and as a result chose to accept the Soviet empire instead. It was 100% their own choice. Meanwhile, the British Empire converted to a "modern" empire (often referred to as the British Commonwealth) and still flourishes to this day. It's a common mistake to assume American imperialism is unique because of it's predominance since imperialism has become more "diplomatic". But the changes have far more to do with the development of technology and global trade than any one nationality.

Pax Americana is different from other Empires because it isn't built for the same reasons. Rome needed slaves, territory, and victory. Britain needed new world imports. America needs peace. Our moral system puts human life above all other values(wrongly I say, but that's how it is). We got sick of fighting other people's wars after the world wars and decided it would be cheaper(in terms of lives) to maintain a monotarily expensive alliance rather than fight a European war every few years. Ironically, we will probably see bigger wars than the world wars as Americans forget why they pay for everything and pull out for economic gains. If history teaches us anything, it's that people don't learn from history.

The closest thing to the American empire who incidently the Americans modeled much of our country' s institutions after were the Romans. The Romans offered citizenship military aid and civilization to the peoples they conquered that 'why it lasted for so many years and still exists today in a small way in the form of the Roman Catholic Church.

2012: China is the next world superpower! 2023: Wanna bet how much longer it will take before China collapses?

Insert "never learn Mandarin" 4chan post

Plenty of uses with the Mandarin still: becoming a 21st century space warlord

@@ChucksSEADnDEAD oh my god that’s one of the best green texts of all time

It still is though.

Nobody was expecting them to form any coalition. China and India hate each other. China and Russia hate each other. Brazil and South Africa are doing horribly.

and they will.

a rudyard video shouldn't be taken for exactly what it says, but more a general direction to which to look at the problem people face.

They have been no pros to BRICS. It's just a bunch of developing countries beating their chests on how they're gonna conquer the world.

The positives might include the perception of cooperation which bolsters the public image of authoritarians and leaders with authoritarian aspirations
