Why Is BRICS Suddenly Running EVERYTHING? + No More Waiting: Russia Goes All-In On BRICS + Bypassing SWIFT

"In many places in Africa the US is seen as the architect of decades of war, China is seen as the one building infrastructure. More nations are turning away from the old global order and looking for a new one."

Think BRICS: Why is BRICS suddenly running everything? In 2025, BRICS is reshaping geopolitics, trade, and global influence — forging a multipolar world order beyond the G7.

In this deep dive, we break down how BRICS 2025 is more than just an acronym — it’s a seismic global power shift. From de-dollarization to BRICS trade networks, this isn’t speculation; it's data-backed transformation. The BRICS expansion 2025 now includes nations like Egypt, Iran, and the UAE, creating a BRICS+ alliance that spans over half the world’s population and controls over 41% of global GDP.

We explore how BRICS food security is changing global agriculture, why BRICS now influences nearly half of the planet’s oil supply, and how it dominates 72% of rare earth minerals vital for EVs and AI. As the West clings to old power structures, the global south is rising, aligning with BRICS to escape reliance on the US dollar and challenge outdated systems.

From Africa's pivot to BRICS to China’s dominance in cobalt, and new BRICS financial systems outside SWIFT, we explain the forces behind this world power shift — and what it means for everyone. Whether it's trade, energy, or digital currency, BRICS isn’t just reacting — it’s leading.

This episode doesn’t dive into internal BRICS tensions, the logistics of launching a common BRICS currency, or the long-term feasibility of BRICS-led global governance. It also leaves out detailed comparisons of BRICS vs. G7 policy frameworks and lacks coverage of responses from Western institutions to BRICS’s growing influence. Future videos will explore these topics further.
