Uh, the "R" in BRICS is Russia, so why would they need to be welcomed into what they helped found?

LOL Vonu - I thought about that at the time so share your surprise! I guess I was thinking that Big Brother China had welcomed Russia a while ago as they get to be buddies in the open.

China is the "C" in BRICS, another founding member.

Since you seem to be a bit reality compromised, BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. It will become BRICS 11 the first of the year and encompass countries that control 80% of the oil reserves on the planet, making the petrodollar quiver.

Very true, Thanks Vonu. I know what BRICS stands for and my Chinese readers keep me up-to-date on the trends there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ1QUTFExJk
