As you've chosen to address me directly I'll reply honestly, I have zero concern about Cuba, Venezuela, any of the 190+ countries on the planet, wanting to join or form BRICs.

I have considerably more concern about the ability of a post MAGA USofA to successfully navigate such a world via soft power as they appear to have flushed all the competent diplomatic talent down a golden toilet.

But somehow you are extremely concerned about one country which is on the other side of planet of you.

Pardon my ignorance here;

which country are you talking about, what trade bloc are they trying to join, and what extreme concern have I expressed?
