With the war in Ukraine and the bombing of energy infrastructure, the USA has driven a wedge between BRICS and Europe, switching it's energy dependence from Russia to the USA. Despite the US decline, they might still be able to hold a grip over Europe going forward in a way that's not so different from France's continued grip over Africa.

If I am not mistaken, France also just signed a contract with China for more supply.. things are changing.. gradually, than suddenly.
