US media need to do some homework

[malaise]

There is an international group called BRICS.
While your dear leader destroys NATO, BRICS is rising. The US does not own our planet.
The BRICS leaders are laughing in Donvict’s face,

That is all.

2. US media won't, but I did some homework, only took 5 seconds...

"BRICS is a geopolitical and economic alliance of 11 countries, including the founding members Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, along with recent additions such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, the UAE, Indonesia, and Iran. Its primary purpose is to create a multipolar world order, challenge Western dominance in global institutions like the IMF and World Bank, strengthen economic and political cooperation, and promote sustainable development and social inclusion. The group seeks to increase the influence of the Global South in international affairs and reduce the dominance of the U.S. dollar in global trade through initiatives like de-dollarization and local currency transactions."

7. What is known and what is disseminated

can be two different things...I've no connection to the media, but have known about BRICS for almost 20 years.

12. That seems to me to be...

…a rogues gallery of countries I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them.

There is a gathering of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.

Current members - China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan (2001) India and Pakistan (2017) Iran (2023) Belarus (2024).

Others dialogue partners.

4. "The US does not own our planet."

That is going to be news to plenty of rich people, not to mention the current regime.

There are times that I feel that we think we are responsible for the planet continuing to rotate.

And, that is such a delusional position.

But, being delusional seems to be the American way these days.

5. Isn't that the truth

8. Not every billionaire is ignorant of this

Many are already inveigling their way -- and their money -- into it.

10. Good point. Undoubtedly they are.

9. US Media's lords and masters don't want them to talk about BRICS.

One place one can find out about BRICS is YouTube. Richard Wolff, Geopolitics Economy Report, and others.

11. Lots of good info on independent podcasts

Cable tv is run by big corporations and big pharma.

13. The corrupt corporate media

only report what their billionaire owners want them to report.
