How long do you think before we see some G7 states break rank and join BRICS? Or do you think they will go down together?

Italy kind of tried to join One Belt One Road and pulled out when the Fash got elected. Macron made some noise about BRICS at one point but Macron makes a lot of noise about bullshit.

I think there's also some merit behind the idea that letting G7 states into BRICS is a bad idea because there's nothing stopping them from being obstructive.
