TGP is back! After Disinformation Project we are back with our normal format and today we discuss BRICS. What started as an acronym used by economists in the West to name the upcoming economic powers in the early 2000s has transformed into a series of summits where economy and geopolitics go hand in hand. Is it the beginning of a cohesive counterbalance to the US-led economic system? How have they developed and which countries are involved? Are these countries as close as some want to see?   Newsletter: https://substack.com/@thegeopoliticalpickle Disinformation Project: https://youtu.be/9TdDalo_XI0?si=pMOlJsPxu-CuW7rv All links: https://linktr.ee/thegeopoliticalpickle   #BRICS #Geopolitics #Podcast
