growing increasingly wary of the US and "the western axis of power' or whatever they want to term it... eg. Israel, the UK & NATO in general.
Of course, even NATO member Turkey is upset at much of what the US & Israel do.
BRICS is a growing body of countries that are trying to be a counterbalance, or even challenger of the US western alliance, and includes Brazil, Russia, China, India, Iran and a growing number of other countries. They are resentful of what they consider oppression & I think they have legitimate grievances that have been gnawing at them for a long time. The dollar as the world currency causes them some pain and is a friction point as well. Saudi Arabia & other countries have joint alliances with them and us as well.
These types of conflicts probably tend to push countries more into their sway to varying extents and over time it becomes more feasible for the balance of power to begin shifting.
