Over 40 countries sick and tired of the Western-led world order are clamoring to join a group where China and Russia are members

• Over 40 countries are interested in joining Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in the BRICS bloc, Reuters reported.
• The bloc is seen as an alternative to Western-led blocs dominating the world order.
