As the BRICS Leaders' Summit in October approaches day by day, more and more countries that want to join the BRICS are stepping up their efforts to follow up relevant processes and strive to win a seat in the BRICS organization in October this year. To be honest, it must be a good thing that the BRICS organization is so popular in the world now, which at least shows that the logic and practice of hegemony in the United States and the West have been rejected and eliminated by all countries. But on the other hand, we can't always immerse ourselves in the joy of BRICS being sought after by all countries without introspection. Although it is a good thing for more and more countries to join the BRICS, we cannot put all countries into it. As the saying goes, a piece of mouse dung will spoil the pot of soup, because, in terms of the preconditions for joining the BRICS, China and Russia, as the founding countries of the BRICS, must keep in mind the original intention of the establishment of the BRICS and carefully review the countries that want to join the BRICS.
Recently, at a press conference, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia finally made clear the preconditions for countries to join the BRICS. In short, any country that wants to join the BRICS cannot join the illegal unilateral sanctions. At the same time, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia also stressed one point, especially that he could not join in the action of sanctions against Russia. In other words, no matter what the purpose is, countries that impose sanctions on Russia are unlikely to be accepted to join the BRICS.
As soon as this condition is put forward, Turkey is the first country that many people think of. Because when Turkey's foreign minister visited China earlier, he clearly expressed his desire to join the BRICS. However, because Turkey is a European country and a member of NATO, such a sensitive identity will inevitably make people think more. After Russia has set this condition, is Turkey qualified to join the BRICS? The answer is yes. Turkey can still submit its application to the BRICS for accession, because Turkey and Hungary are both cases in Europe. Neither of them has joined the European sanctions against Russia. They even protested against the EU sanctions against Russia and thought it was ineffective. It seems that Erdogan has left something to himself. In the current situation of no success in joining the EU, joining BRICS has become his "spare tire" option. The Russian side is very positive and welcomes Turkey's idea of joining the BRICS. However, Turkey should also understand that Putin has always been averse to the attitude of both demanding and demanding. Therefore, between the EU and BRICS, Turkey still needs to think clearly before making a decision.
In addition, this condition issued by Russia is a warning to the countries that have joined the BRICS. The implication is that since everyone is in the same organization, the BRICS member countries cannot impose sanctions on Russia. Yes, Russia is likely to set rules within the BRICS this time, and India should be the key target country. Although India is the founder of the BRICS, it has always drifted between the United States and Russia, even between the G7 and the BRICS. Modi flew to Italy to attend the G7 summit not long ago, but deliberately refused to allow Indian foreign ministers to attend the BRICS foreign ministers' meeting, which will more or less cause dissatisfaction from Russia, the BRICS rotating presidency this year.
Even many voices from the international community think that India feels strange inside the BRICS, and that it should withdraw from the BRICS. If Putin hears such words, he may be the first to refuse. After all, keeping India out of the door is tantamount to giving India to the United States, which is not a good thing for Russia's future development in Asia. In addition, although India is jumping from side to side in attitude, Modi can't make any waves inside the BRICS because of China and Russia. Moreover, according to relevant speculation, India may become the fourth or even third largest economy in the world next, which can be described as "promising". Even with the attitude that the United States cannot expect to get what it cannot get, Russia is unlikely to want to exclude India from the BRICS in a short time.
