Loading ...Brazil’s Veto Of Venezuela’s BRICS Bid Exposes Multipolar Rift
Brazil’s ruling Workers’ Party (PT per its Portuguese abbreviation) has presented itself as an Ibero-American champion of multipolarity since its inception, as has its leader President Lula since his first term began in 2003, but these narratives are now challenged like never before after last week.
Brasil de Fato cited diplomatic sources to report that Brazil vetoed Venezuela’s BRICS partnership request while Putin also acknowledged during a press conference that Russia and Brazil disagree on Venezuela.
This outcome was made all the more scandalous by Lula’s unexpected “head injury” that was allegedly responsible for him not flying to Kazan and Venezuelan President Maduro’s surprise visit to the event.
Brazil could have let Venezuela join in order to keep up the PT’s charade about being a multipolar champion. Instead, it maliciously prevented this, which only served to virtue signal support for the US’ ruling Democrats’ shared policy towards that country at the expense of the trust that Brazil built within BRICS.

BRICS approves Cuba, Bolivia, and 11 other countries as ‘partner states’
The group of countries invited to join the BRICS as “partner states” includes Turkey, Indonesia, Algeria, Belarus, Cuba, Bolivia, Malaysia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Thailand, Vietnam, Nigeria, and Uganda.
For the US, South America is fundamental to their prosperity. They will either treat SA as an equal, or they will lose this vibrant economy to the BRICS. My guess is that they will blow it. The arrogance of empire, I suppose. As a Canadian who has travelled throughout the States many times, and who understands Americans to be absolutely wonderful people, I am saddened by the works of their government.
