Assanges father: BRICS surpassing US and Europe in global economic power

️ ️ ️Assange’s father: BRICS surpassing US and Europe in global economic power “BRICS is the rest of the world, manifestly abandoning the United States,“ John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father, told Sputnik as he highlighted the bloc’s growing global influence. He pointed out that BRICS represents 45% of the world’s population and 34% of global GDP, while the G7 lags behind. Shipton emphasized the importance of industrial growth within BRICS nations, which he views as the foundation of a strong economy. In contrast, he criticized the West for neglecting industrial development, leading Europe into an “unnatural, unavoidable decline,“ though he noted a glimmer of hope for the US due to emerging re-industrialization efforts. Shipton, founder of Australia’s now-defunct Wikileaks Party, arrived in Moscow on Saturday night at the invitation of the BRICS Journalists Association and its co-chair Mira Terada, a human rights advocate and publicist.
