A new global configuration is emerging, which negates much of Naidu’s boast about the collective size of BRICS’ GDP, making it of “strategic relevance.” That configuration was noted by Putin earlier this month when he stated that he counts China, India, the US and other nations as part of a security configuration confronting the EU, WEF globalist order.

Macron of France confirmed that when he observed what he called a “unique moment when the President of the US, the President of Russia and China’s leader are categorically opposing the Europeans.”

Trump is dethroning the globalist order, which, since 1971, has used energy to enthrone world economic domination controlled by London, which, through OPEC, dictated oil prices and manufactured crises. OPEC cartelization is crumbling in the face of the massive increase in US oil production, which exceeds that of the Saudis and Russia. The UAE’s exit from OPEC underlines that trend.

Of course, the EU globalists and their Canadian partner have reacted to Trump’s reconfiguration of global politics. Canada’s globalist PM, Mark Carney, has chaired two meetings on the subject, one in Yerevan, Armenia, attended by 40 mostly European nations and the second one in Toronto on May 9. That one was attended by Obama, who sees his role as the leader of a shadow US government opposing Trump’s America First order, which prioritises US sovereignty and defence of the constitution.

Given the groundswell of populist opposition against Macron, Sanchez, Starmer and Merz, Carney’s plan to shore up the globalist front is hardly inspiring.

Thus, it is in the context of those developments that BRICS pales into insignificance. Opposed to the EU and NATO, Putin is inclined in Trump’s direction, acknowledged by Scott Bessent’s lifting of US sanctions on Russian exports. Modi of India is already in a positive relationship with the Trump administration in terms of economics and strategic security. Contrary to the fake news, Trump’s mission to China was a great success.

With the key pillars of BRICS – Russia, India and China – tilted towards Trump’s re-ordering of trade and geopolitics, what’s left of BRICS is irrelevant.

For Europe, the phrase “sustainable future,” to which the WEF aspires, has become a nightmare. As a result of ESG (Environmental Social Governance) Europe has stopped being the continent from which the world buys. Now it is the continent that buys what the rest of the world produces, having embraced de-industrialisation in pursuit of green energy.

Steel production is down 30%. European know-how and factories have moved to China, India, Mexico and Vietnam, where there is cheap energy, less bureaucracy and cheaper labour. While the EU prioritises clean energy and climate change, China is buying European cars: Volvo now belongs to Geely of China; Britain’s MG is another Chinese acquisition.  Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen have Chinese shareholders.  Italy’s Pirelli tyres have majority Chinese capital.

EU bureaucratic regulations and carbon targets regarding bovine emissions have resulted in the closure of more than three million farms. In the name of “sustainability,” Europe now imports a range of agricultural products from overseas. Warehouses and trucks now distribute imports instead of housing and moving European products for export.

Reliance on green energy sources has massively increased the cost of electricity while simultaneously making its supply inconsistent or intermittent. Nonetheless, that is touted by the promoters of ESG as “progress” in “saving the planet” while making heating unaffordable and increasing unemployment.

The other “threat” facing the WEF is President Trump’s reshaping of alliances and the geopolitical order. Unlike the WEF globalists, Trump does not allow falsehoods about decarbonisation and climate change to chart his course. Moreover, he recognises that such frippery has no place in meeting the challenge China poses.

By removing the Maduro regime from Venezuela, from which China obtains 90% of its oil, Trump has secured leverage over China. It is also the reason he intends to bring Greenland under the aegis of the US because of Chinese and Russian interests in the Arctic region.

Trump is playing the long game, outthinking rivals, securing US energy independence,  restoring and reinvesting in US industry and manufacturing. WEF’s hopes of investability and sustainability based on the flawed and failed policies of ESG, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), and decarbonisation are doomed in the new order of geopolitics Trump is driving.
