I'm somewhat suspicious of BRICS.. I mean, Russia, India, China and South Africa don't exactly have a good track record politically or socially, (Brazil I don't know about) The proposed new members aren't exactly beacons of freedom and democracy either...

You are not wrong.

I suppose it would be bit too obvious if they called themselves the League of Evil or something like that...

Brasil - using their local spelling - has had a rough decade, given that Jair Bolsonaro was just tossed out of their presidency. He was their local Trump-alike, and oh, did he try to give the Donald a run for his money as to who could do worse to their respective countries.

Thankfully, he's not the local president anymore, and is also under investigation now.

What the heck is it with America and z's?! I mean.. perfectly ok English words like realisation and you stick a z in it... and then Brazil..with an s ?!

(just to clarify, I'm not being serious)

So, Brasil is improving socially at least... still; by the company you keep you shall be known..
