BRICS countries are all poor corrupt countries. Do you think it's west to blame for their high corruption and poverty? Do you think that by creating BRICS they'll be able to get rid of US dollar and American/European influence and once they get rid of it, then there will be a era of rise in these countries? Do you really think it's the United States that keeps them in poverty? No, this is an inner problem, all that exists because of their mentality, work ethics, appreciation towards each other, etc. They need to change it, they need to understand that corruption is bad, they need to understand that you shouldn't only care about improving of your life because by improving overall quality of life for everyone, yours will drastically improve too.
Now, let's talk about the USA/EU. What does the EU do? Gives asylum to people from BRICS countries, lets them to life a normal life. EU universities are free for everyone, doesn't matter where you come from. So, EU taxpayers pay for you, from BRICS countries, to study for free in Europe and let's you to return in your country and use the gained knowledge to develop your country. You shouldn't blame Europeans if lots of people prefer to use that as an advantage to get PR in EU.
It's all an illusion to tell their people that evil America and Europe are keeping their people poor. It's just a traditional brainwashing, that has been always working. You probably have heard that you are. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, so, BRICS is not a solution!
You are severely misinformed. Not to mention that your comment is very racist, specially the bold part. You think other people who aren't in EU/US are just some brainless idiots who don't already know corruption is bad and are sitting on their asses blaming US/EU for all their problems!
You also know nothing of history of the things that are going on in the world.
Where or from when should I even begin with the examples!
Across West Asia where once British colonizers infiltrated and split the countries into smaller ones, the maps are designed in a way to cause fundamental problems for centuries. Like water problems that has actually led to water wars like where the source of a strategic river is in one artificially created micro-country but all of the rest of it and its users are in another. Then they start their damn buildings in that micro-country to worsen the issues.
Now water crisis, food crisis, farmers migrating to big cities, sand storms and many other environmental problems are the results of that.
Lets come closer to today. After the US EU coalition destroyed Iraq they intentionally installed the worst governmental system possible by giving each section of it to a minority group instead of letting everyone participate in a democratic way in every aspect of governance. So now Iraq president is from one minority group while the prime minister is from another that are at each others' throats and all the rest of the administration is just as terrible.
Why? Because while they were all busy fighting each other, US was stealing all their resources, literally! Oil tankers kept going to US; the US back separatist/terrorist groups had control of the gas rich northern Iraq and were literally selling the gas and pocketing the money after giving US it's cut. This alone damaged Iraq's economy of roughly $33 billion before they shut it down.
It is not going to be solved until they kick the remaining occupiers out and fix this system. Until then even their electrical grid remains an entangled mess after it was destroyed by US. Until then they will have to also fight terrorists as US keeps reviving them, like these days that they are attempting to free the ISIS terrorists from prisons across the region.
Don't get me started on Afghanistan where another US EU coalition invaded and destroyed the country then after years of destruction they handed over the rule to a bunch of cavemen extremists by donating about $100 billion worth of weapons to help them in their rule and to start wars with their neighbors (surprise surprise their neighbors are China, Iran and by proxy Russia).
Maybe you think people of Afghanistan like living in ruins created by US/EU or like leaving their homes and wash dishes in Europe.
Let's take Niger. A country with large amounts of resources including minerals, Uranium, gold, etc. has 10 million living in absolute poverty just because all these resources are practically being stolen by France. And all their money goes to French banks which they can not even spend majority of it. IIRC 10% of it is given to Niger!
After they kick out the French colonizers they can regain full control of their country, their government, their resources and their money. Then they can spend 100% of that money to focus on eliminating poverty and other issues.
Last but not least let me give a much more detailed example of a corruption that is only caused by United States actions.
It is the case of a big issue in Iran with embezzlement cases. Iran is a country that has been at a cold/hybrid war with United States for the past 5 decades. Because Iran is under both US sanctions and financial and medical terrorism, certain imports have become "complex". That has led to a lot of corruption and specifically embezzlement.
Despite the self sufficiency in medical sector certain things still need to be imported like during the COVID pandemic with ventilators. But the problem is due to US economic war on Iran, it becomes impossible to import them through any "normal" channels (like using SWIFT or the $100 billion that used to be blocked in it).
The alternative is to make this private and classified and use "individuals". That means going to some private sector, giving them privileged information and ultra cheap dollars (80% discount to be exact) to try and import these needs. But none of it can become public because that would prevent it from taking place. Now 3 things can happen:
1- The individual successfully goes around the sanctions and import what was needed, then they can pay back the loan
2- US finds out and basically shuts down the individuals' bank accounts and steals the money
3- The individual steals the money but claims that US has stolen it
When the individual fails to pay back the money, it is nearly impossible to prove if it were case 2 or 3 hence the corruption grows are more individuals are now stealing the money.
Without sanctions or US, like using BRICS bank that corruption is automatically eliminated since there is no reason for any of it to be hidden or secretive and they won't have any excuse to not pay back the money they borrowed for imports.
That also means that like a chain a lot of other things will change. The government will no longer need to waste its finite resources on such things (like importing ventilators through back channels) > There is no need to pay the difference (the discount I mentioned above) or the extra costs that stem from having more middle men > There won't be any budget deficits > There won't be any need to print money like madmen > Without money printing there won't be inflation and the fiat exchange rate stops dropping > Without inflation product lines can work better and will actually use the loans they took to produce > employment goes up > Economy is strengthened > Quality of life improves
As a matter of fact over the past 2 years Iran has been focusing heavily on dedollarisation even before BRICS and with the world changing fast and US losing its strength and hegemony the chain of events I explained are happening slowly but surely. Not to mention that large number of embezzlement cases were automatically eliminated before they could even happen, as I said before.
Like it or not the history of the world is like a sinusoidal wave. Empires shape and that empires fall then from their ashes there may be another empire. Sometimes the empires rule for a thousand years, sometimes a hundred and sometimes only for 30 years. But there is always one constant and that is change. The tables always turn. Not so long ago millions were jobless in the biggest EU economy and even more people despite working their asses off couldn't fill their bellies. Or the 4th biggest G7 economy used to be a big empire and a hegemony with colonies around the globe, today it is at best an average geopolitical player and is a shadow of that empire where the sun does set.
