I was provided this video in a lib pit during a discussion on BRICS. It was somehow supposed to refute the legitimacy of the project and cast it in a negative light (I guess?)

Honestly the video seems like high-school level information-wise, and says very little other than (paraphrased) things like:

  • Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea cooperate

  • These four states which USA considers to be enemies are helping each other, for some nefarious reason

  • Countries which share a border can trade with each other

  • Other countries in Asia can also trade and cooperate with these four countries that we don’t like, because they also share borders with them

It never explicitly says if or why this is all bad, per se, it just heavily implies it with the imagery of “blue team good red team bad”, and depicting the leaders of these four evil countries as cartoon super-villains.

    I stopped watching like halfway through but I did catch a gem: one of the articles they flash onscreen as evidence or whatever was quoting a south korean hawk with some awesome logic:

    Seoul has detected at least 10,000 shipping containers being sent from North Korea to Russia, which could hold as many as 4.8 million artillery shells of the likes that Putin has used in his bombardment of Ukraine

    “oh my god, the bad countries, they’re trading with each other”

    “Terrifying, what are they sending?”

    “No idea, but if we just assume every cubic centimeter of space is filled with artillery then it’d be a lot of artillery”

    I mean I don’t doubt they are sending weapons but the lack of any authority or evidence to speak on the subject got me laughing
