Considering R in BRICS stands for russia, no, they certainly shouldn't.

I don't know if you noticed, but the B stands for Brazil and those 2 countries aren't exactly buddy-buddy. Treaties are more than their constituent members.

Yeah I'm surprised to see India and China in it together as well.

Doesn't surprise me, only if you buy into everything America and the west tells you

They do have ongoing border disputes with skirmishes and fatalities.

What the US wants and what's good for other countries are not the same things.

But I am European, anything that breaches sanctions against putins russia isn't good for me either.

Russia wouldn't really matter in the equation. China, Brazil, Mexico, Canada would be the main players. They don't like each other, and have some serious diplomatic issues of their own, but could easily agree to stand together in self interest. Pulling in any other major US trading partners would also help all of them.
