Isn't Argentina a bit of a wild card if that ancap weirdo who only wants to trade with the "civilized nations" wins the upcoming election? I don't know how good his odds actually are but he could make things awkward.

I don't know how good his odds actually are but he could make things awkward. Yeah Argentina is a wild card, but you can say that of all of latin america right wing parties. So you are kinda always working with half of SA countries closely and other half not so closely. However Argentina is already borrowing RMB, they may choose to resist closer relationship in other ways. Like for example AR is talking about buying chinese fighter planes (2nd hand Pakistani JF17?), but US quickly got got one of the European countries go over to AR and offer them half clearance priced F16. It's funny the west rather use the F16 to cockblock China's MIC instead of giving the F16 to Ukraine.

Does anyone have a good article about the concrete policy stuff BRICS is working on aside from admitting new members? Is it a free trade thing, or facilitating international payments/settlement?

Maybe just change the current thread title to reflect it. I think de-dollarization and BRICS future overlaps cover pretty similar geopolitic/finance news topics. It's the same West vs Non-West power struggle.

I read an analysis that the big loser of this round of expansion is Indonesia because it's the biggest applicant country by population. Its pretty amazing that all relevant ME join at the same time. Next time when they expand south/central Asia, they probably will get Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Kazakhstan to join at the same time so CIR will each get a buddy country to join.

presumably iran has wanted in the longest, but no one wanted to create any impression of forming a bloc with them that could be directed against ksa&uae, so those two get their invitations fast tracked. hopefully this means rapprochement has been locked in (also hopefully not in some weird way where they then both attack a minority like ethiopia-eritrea)

Has there been a lasting draw down in Yemen? I know there were talks when Iran & ksa first met but I never really saw much follow up reporting. I know the cease fire has expired, and not sure if there's been serious negotiations about ending the war and saudi arabia leaving.
