31 December 2023 at 08:55. It can be declared that Brazil, the former colony of Portugal, where until today the formal language is Portuguese, moved formally from the ‘USA Coalition’ to the Russia-China Coalition. Why? Because the last decision of Brazil to join OPEC+ reflects the strategic direction of Brazil in the last decade. In the ‘West Family’, Brazil is one of the ‘Tails of the Lions’, while in the ‘East Family’, Brazil is one of the ‘Heads for the Foxes’. Thereby, according to this strategy, Brazil is a member of the BRICS+, OPEC+ and Brazil is even an Observer State in the Arab League, despite that Brazil is not an Arab State. Still, many in the ‘USA Coalition’ have the illusion that Brazil and India are part of the ‘West Family’, but clearly, they are wrong, so the last decision of Brazil to join OPEC+ indicates that contrary to Turkey (a member of NATO) that ‘Sitting on the Fence’, then Brazil and India have no formal connection with the ‘West Family’ via alliances, so definitely, they are formally part of the ‘East Family’. Is it possible that non-Arab States will join the Arab League? Unlikely, yet if the Glass Ceiling falls, then I won’t be surprised that Brazil and India will join the Arab League as members.
