In this episode, Colonel Coutinho and Victoria analyze the outcomes of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit held in Tianjin, China, in 2025. With the presence of major powers such as China, Russia, and India — the so-called “Big Three” of the Global South — the summit marked a strategic turning point in the construction of a new international order. The final declaration of the summit, titled Multipolarity, Military Cooperation, and Global Governance, reveals an ambitious agenda that includes: Strengthening regional security and rejecting double standards Criticism of Western actions in the Middle East and defense of state sovereignty Creation of a Development Bank focused on renewable energy, digital economy, and innovation Expansion of educational and scientific cooperation Concrete proposals to reform global governance The episode also offers a critical reflection on Brazil’s role, which, despite holding the rotating presidency of the BRICS in 2025, appears hesitant in the face of ongoing transformations. By trying to please everyone, the country risks not being taken seriously by anyone. A strategic, provocative, and well-grounded analysis — for those who think like strategists.
