    The BRICS is now a bigger economic bloc than the G7

    Yeah that’s mostly China (and India) though.

    Russia says that it is willing to challenge NATO militarily.

    Russia also said the war would last 3 days. And that they were freeing the Ukrainians from nazi jews.

    OK so the reason is fear of nuclear weapons creeping closer? But NATO already has dozens of nuclear warheads in range of Russia, doesn’t it? Seems like bullshit to me, and seeing you gloating about the rise of BRICS vs the west makes me think I’m right.

      Both China and India are close allies of Russia and trade between Russia and China accounts for over 200 billion now.

      Russia never said the war would last 3 days.

      And that they were freeing the Ukrainians from nazi jews.

      No, what they said is that the Ukrainian regime that the west installed in a coup in 2014 has been doing this to the people in Donbas as reported by CNN, HRW, and NPR

      OK so the reason is fear of nuclear weapons creeping closer? But NATO already has dozens of nuclear warheads in range of Russia, doesn’t it?

      Nuclear missiles from Ukraine could reach Moscow in five minutes. If you don’t understand how that’s a major escalation, don’t know what else to tell you. The question is why you think that Russia should just sit back and let an aggressive military alliance with a history of invading countries continue expanding to its borders.

      Seems like bullshit to me, and seeing you gloating about the rise of BRICS vs the west makes me think I’m right.

      BRICS is expanding precisely because the west acts like it owns the world which is the same reason NATO is currently at war with Russia.
