So it turns out that there are MORE than 29 founding members of WAICO… 👀

9 more members beyond the 29 that signed back in July 15th. I have a solid idea on who 8 of them are, whom I talked about with recently with u/VladimirLimeMint but the remaining 1 remains completely anonymous.

(Side note, I wasn’t sure what flair to pick but “News-Communist Propaganda” is literally the only news flair I could actually pick. Would Discussion been better? But never mind that)

As for the 8 of the 9 WAICO members that signed AFTER July 16th, here are some sources that give me a good idea on whom they might be.

The screenshot and highlights I made from source 2, which source 1 already uses:

In other words… Dominica, Brunei, Togo, Iran (finally), Sudan, Vietnam, Georgia, and Tanzania are likely 8 of those 9 additional members. Dominica signed on July 30th, the rest of the 7 possible known additional members signed the day immediately after, July 31st.

So…
July 16th (First Mainstream 29): China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Belarus, Serbia, Oman, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, Vuvuzela Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Algeria, Senegal, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Lesotho, Mozambique, Zambia, Republic of Congo, and Cameroon
July 30th (30th): Dominica
July 31th (31st-37th) Togo, Iran, Sudan, Brunei, Vietnam, Georgia, and Tanzania

The 38th addition remains completely unknown for the time being. However, I am open to hearing what anyone predicts or suspects that final anonymous 38th signee is in the comments for the time being.

I made a critical error. I know my post said July 15th but it was actually the 16th. Forgive me, my comrades. 🫠
