DAILY EXPRESS 8 JULY 2024 - WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN A NATO VS BRICS WAR?
NATO will soon accept two new members - Finland and Sweden - as the Ukraine war rages on, unsettling Russia as the alliance adds hundreds of miles of new territory up to the country's border. What would happen in a NATO vs BRICS war?
Russia has objected to NATO's eastern creep, threatening retaliation if the alliance added Finland and Sweden. As Putin's invasion of Ukraine continues, the two soon-to-be members felt the security situation in the Baltic warranted additional security, which NATO has now agreed to offer. The warning means the military alliance is at increased risk of conflict with the country and possibly some of its nearby allies.
WHAT IS BRICS?
NATO is one of many international policy-sharing organisations, as Russia is part of one named BRICS.
BRICS is an acronym grouping five emerging economies, including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Aside from South Africa, each nation has a population and GDP value in the world's top 10 and represents billions of people.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS A NATO VS BRICS WAR?
BRICS and NATO do not exist for the same purpose, as the former organisation is dedicated solely to shared financial ties.
They aren't a formal or informal alliance, don't have cooperative military arrangements like NATO and, crucially, are not always ideologically aligned.
The four BRICS nations have a history of disagreeing with one another on several fronts, and most members have remained neutral in Russia's conflict with
Ukraine.
If Russia negotiated a military pact with BRICS, their alliance would hold most of the world's nuclear weapons.
According to the Arms Control Association (ACA), nine nations currently possess nuclear warheads.
Four of those - the US, UK, France and Israel - belong to NATO, boasting a combined total of approximately 6,155 warheads.
The three nuclear-capable BRICS members would have hundreds more at their collective disposal if they aligned militarily.
Russia, India and China are the three nuclear BRICS nations.
Putin alone possesses more warheads than the entirety of NATO alone, as the ACA estimates Russia has 6,257.
Adding China and India to the occasion would leave the three nations
with 6,763 altogether.
Their total would exceed NATO's by 608, giving them a clear advantage in threatening nuclear war.
But China, India and Russia may not need to threaten war in conflict with the west, as BRICS shows they are highly valuable.
The nations within the collected economies have 26.7 percent of the world's land surface and 41.5 percent of its population.
They also supply services used worldwide, with India vital for drug production and engineering, Russia for oil exports, China for a significant amount of western manufacturing, and Brazil and South Africa for oils and ore.
Threatening to withdraw these services would force any combative western nations to reconsider their positions before a war is on the cards.

So, it's a "Numbers Game", is it?
The Late Great Scientist, Dr. Carl Sagan compared the Nuclear Arms Race to two men locked in a room. One is "armed" with five matches, the other guy has "only" three.
The room is flooded with three feet of gasoline.
If "only" ONE match is lit -- the whole room explodes --- killing BOTH men.
Do you still think it's all about who has the "Biggest" Nuclear Arsenal?
Just wondering.

BRICS is a trading partnership to sidestep the domination of US dollar which is used as the tool for economic sanctions against nations who do not toe US lines. BRICS will soon be joined by Argentina and Iran and they are looking to developing alternative to the US dollar as reserve currency. They are more concerned with economic development than warmongering.

Seriously doubt Brazil or India would fight against the world.

BRICS is an acronym grouping five emerging economies, including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.... Correct ! But basically it is a term for these countries economically nothing to do with Defence Pacts !!! Despite India sourcing some Oil from Russia I doubt whether they would take a military position against the west and India has far more issues with China than the West !!

The devastating impact of
a potential nuclear war as perceived by society has galvanized the public to protest and march to confront this dire
subject, and make politicians aware of their concerns. These events are
typically captured in televised news reports and in the press.
Mostly, news coverage focuses on conflicts around the world, the
cumulative effect of which is to de-stabilize capitalist states to the
advantage of communist states, or states that wish to spread their
religious ideals using force, despite freedom of thought of conscience, as embodied in
the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, being a right that applies
equally and without discrimination to other religions. Where, the free democratic
world recognises the rights of other nations, for their citizens to
follow their faith without seeking to change their vocation or beliefs -
and are welcomed in peace.
But, the reciprocal acceptance of Christian and other related faiths in the West is
not always forthcoming - most especially from extremists and terrorists.
