What a time to be alive! We indeed live in an age of miracles, where a frog can fall in love with a pig. An age of curiosity, where a cat cannot just cross the street without raising curiosity. The same curiosity that killed a cat. It is an age of hyper-velocity, where change is the only constant. But even with today’s crazy world standards, the just ended 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, UN General Assembly, leaves even the thoroughbred of psychiatry scrabbling for answers. The scenes unfolded in a very cinematographic fashion; dramatic walkouts, political posturing, lies and threats. President Donald Trump’s fiery speech to “annihilate” Iran, has not just left the rest of the sane world in a state of utter shock; it has left the White House looking worse than a mental asylum. The whole world has been left wondering what is next from Trump; is he going to burn down the entire oval office, or become a rogue anthropologist and battle anacondas in the Amazon. The man has gone ‘un poco loco.’ But as Trump tries too hard to defend the racist colonial order that even today, is running helter-skelter to sanitize Israel’s genocide in Gaza, a new world order is regardlessly emerging. The BRICS has become a major political force in the last two decades. Contrary to popular Western political commentary, BRICS is not meant to create a counterweight to Western influence in global institutions. This type of thinking, seeks to trivialise the BRICS agenda and render it, a merely ‘hate club.’ BRICS is a necessary voice advocating for a more equitable global governance system, reforming the UN Security Council, and increasing influence for the Global South.
