... You think BRICS is fascist?

Russia and China are involved so that poisons it for me

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml -2 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

It's an economic bloc, not NATO. They just trade.

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, look what just trading with the wrong partner has done for us so far.

... are you arguing that BRICS is going to place sanctions Canada if they join? Literally what consequences would there be?

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 1 points 44 minutes ago

No, I'm saying that 'they just trade' isn't as innocuous as it sounds. Choosing bad partners can get you in hot water when they decide they want to stop playing nice and mangle your economy.

We trusted the US once, I can't imagine we'd trust a trade bloc driven by Russia and China.

IMO we need to engage hard with Europe and other nations that have something approximating functional democracies.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They are evil anti democratic shit holes. No one should be trading with any of them.

I’m only referring to China and Russia like I said. Those two poison it for me.

Why isn't Hungary and Victor Orban poison to you? He's pretty clearly a fascist.

[–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hungary is a member of BRICS?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 22 minutes ago

Hungary is a member of the EU, a supposedly "good" trading partner.
