depends... none of the brics nations are bound together firmly by loyalty or some kind of transcendent unifying goal. they're together because the west doesn't want them or would prefer exploiting them, otherwise they would've stuck with the west... as for the west, that's all the same shit, regardless of country. it's all corrupt and controlled by a handful of families behind the scenes. so although the east is heavily industrialized and the west is service sector based, mostly europe's going to suffer and not the us, cause the us is far more flexible and resilient.
