Brazil's role in BRICS is something to be watched. The current government has an anti-imperialist rhetoric that isn't followed by anti-imperialist actions (ex: barring Venezuela from BRICS and refusing to recognize Maduro's reelection, while recognizing Noboa's dodgy reelection). Doesn't help that their ruling class, their useful idiots (the Bolsonaro crowd) and some government members (especially inside the International Relations Ministry) thinks that they are western and should be closer to the US.
Brazil must deepen its ties with BRICS if they want to stay in BRICS, bc i believe if the oppositon win next year, they might withdraw from the organization entirely.
