[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 77549308, member: 21246"] The aspiration here is to bring about a multipolar world in which the many autocracies (Sorry Brazil and South Africa) and smaller nations in this club will have more freedom to act according to their agendas. That in itself does not sound as bad in theory as it would prove to be in practice. A multipolar world would be more likely to be an unstable one with a greater frequency of bloody wars. The club is a disparate group of members often in conflict with each other e.g. India and China or indeed Iran and Saudia Arabia who are mortal enemies. There is no shared military alliance as with the G-7 in the background and so their voice is not as powerful as their share of the world economy and trade implies. The group looks more like an axis of resistance to me than an actual threat to Western hegemony. This could well change and then the key question for me is whether or not autocracy or democracy can better model Christian values in the modern world and which would be better for the church. Currently, the club includes major persecutors of Christians like India and China and so it remains unattractive as an alternative to the USA. [/QUOTE]
