Algeria is one of the countries that just have always been on the doorstep of making massive improvements but always not quite there yet.

If they get the water pipeline projects going and finally get infrastructure to collect and export their massive amounts of energy  and finally get infrastructure for reinvestment in place etc etc 

Such a disappointing story, always almost there but never quite there yet

Being part of the BRICS hardly is turning the back to the US. It's just another organization with trade benefits and bureaucracy overhead. Just like being in the commonwealth isn't an anti-french statement.

More and more countries are starting to  turn their back to USA, despite all the pressure.
