BRICS Virtual Meet: What They Didn't Say Is the Real Story

EDITOR'S NOTES

Vinod Dsouza’s coverage of the recent BRICS virtual summit, originally published via SCMP, offers a surface-level glimpse into the bloc’s latest meeting. But the real story lies not in what was said — but in what was left unsaid. The leaders of this 10-member coalition may have shown unity on-screen, but their caution and lack of bold action reveal a deeper anxiety about the crumbling post-dollar world order. Below, I break down the seven key points from the summit — and what they really mean for the global economy, for the dollar, and for your financial future.

Eric Blair Sep 11, 25

1. Criticism of Trump’s Tariffs Was Muted — But the Tension Is Palpable

Yes, the BRICS leaders criticized Trump’s trade wars, but they did so with kid gloves. Why? Because every nation on that call knows the United States is still the apex predator of global trade — for now. Tariffs are hitting their exports hard, especially China, Brazil, and South Africa. But no one wants to provoke a deeper economic war while their own currencies and trade balances remain fragile.

👉 Translation: They’re bleeding economically, but they’re afraid of a direct confrontation — which tells you exactly how much power Washington still wields through financial coercion.

2. Everyone Is Tiptoeing Around Trump — That Should Scare You

Despite the obvious impact of American tariffs, the BRICS alliance walked on eggshells. The message wasn’t “Let’s fight back,” it was “Let’s not make it worse.” This kind of diplomatic cowardice in the face of economic aggression reveals a deeper weakness in the BRICS framework.

If these nations truly wanted to challenge U.S. hegemony, they had the perfect stage — and they flinched.

👉 Translation: The so-called “alternative economic order” is still more dependent on the dollar-based system than it wants to admit.

3. India’s Statement Was a Masterclass in Fence-Sitting

India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said, “Increasing barriers and complicating transactions will not help.” Sounds nice, but it means nothing. India is playing both sides — cozying up to the West while keeping a toe in the BRICS pool.

This “noncommittal diplomacy” is exactly what’s keeping BRICS from becoming a serious threat to the global dollar regime.

👉 Translation: Until the major players stop hedging and start leading, BRICS will remain a symbolic alliance, not an economic revolution.

4. They Used a Gentle Tone Because They’re Already Hurting

Let’s be honest — BRICS isn’t pulling punches because they’re diplomatic. They’re pulling punches because they can’t afford escalation. With exports down, domestic economies strained, and the yuan and ruble under pressure, these governments are treading water.

And they know it.

👉 Translation: This wasn’t a show of strength. It was a survival meeting — a desperate attempt to avoid rocking the boat as the global monetary storm builds.

5. No Talk of De-Dollarization or a BRICS Currency — That’s the Big News

You know what’s not in the press release? Any mention of trading in local currencies, bypassing the dollar, or reviving talk of a BRICS reserve currency. That tells you everything you need to know.

After a year of bold talk about dethroning the dollar, the silence now is deafening.

👉 Translation: De-dollarization may still be the long-term goal, but the political will isn’t there — not when their economies are this fragile.

6. No New Trade Deals — Just Empty Gestures

You would think, given the tariffs and currency volatility, this meeting would’ve resulted in at least one concrete trade agreement between members. But it didn’t.

Instead, we got vague statements and diplomatic posturing — no substance, no action, no coordination.

👉 Translation: The BRICS nations are still operating as individual actors, not as a unified bloc. That makes them easy to divide, manipulate, and pressure — especially by the U.S.

7. What Was the Point of the Meeting?

That’s the big question. If BRICS didn’t announce new initiatives, didn’t push de-dollarization, didn’t confront U.S. tariffs, and didn’t deepen internal trade — then what was the purpose?

Answer: Optics.
This was a theater performance. A photo op to assure their citizens — and themselves — that BRICS still matters. But behind the screen, the foundation is wobbling.

👉 Translation: Without economic sovereignty and monetary independence, BRICS is just a club with a logo.

💡 The Takeaway: The Dollar May Be Doomed, But BRICS Isn’t Ready to Kill It

Don’t mistake inaction for strength. The BRICS nations are under immense economic pressure, and they know the dollar’s days are numbered — but they’re still terrified to be the first to break ranks.

That’s why we urge our readers: Don’t wait for BRICS to save you. They won’t.

Prepare for a multi-polar currency crisis now, while the system is still pretending to hold.

🛡 Take Control While You Still Can

It’s up to you to prepare for the fallout from this global currency poker game. The dollar isn’t stable, BRICS isn’t organized, and inflation isn’t “transitory.”
