BRICS unites Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. A number of other countries want to join the economic bloc, including Argentina and Iran.
The social media has been rife with the news as joining the bloc would mean more political and economic polarization in the international system.
Where is the problem? If Russia wants the world to be multipolar, it will need more allies. Do not forget that Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Algeria requested to join the BRICS

Algeria wanted to join BRICS back in July as stated by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. “Joining this group will take Algeria, the pioneer of the non-alignment principle, away from the attraction of the two poles,” he said according to the Turkish news agency.

The five members of BRICS have 40 percent of the world population and at least a quarter of the international GDP. This will likely increase if countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey are allowed to join. That would split the global system and add a new meaning to globalization.
