Pocaracas:
BRICS is (for now) some sort of attempts to challenge the West dominated world order. Some sort of alliance of non-democratic or not totally democratic countries against the established world order. Without China, there isn’t even any BRICS if you ask me. It’s not an empty shell either. India, Brazil, South-Africa are also a part of this BRICS. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens in the future. But for now, Russia is still very isolated. Even China and India are critical of Putin’s expansionist policies.
Fake Messiah:
Anyone who could leave Russia, has already left. Western Europe, Georgia, Turkey and Kazakhstan are among the preferred destinations of Russians who simply can’t afford to stay in their own country anymore
On Russian Economy
The growing economy of Russia is a war-time economy. They will face a recession immediately when the war ends. Putin is still killing whatever is left of the “real” economy.
- Greta Thunberg is in Tbilisi / Georgia now.

Moldova has just escaped being ruled by a Russia-friendly populist party. The people have re-elected a woman called Maia Sandu who wants to push the country toward the European Union. This happened despite Russian interference with all the disinformation campaigns and direct buying of votes in return for money.
The same thing happened in Georgia. The Pro-Russian populist leader is turning his back to the European Union while strengthening his ties with Russia.
Central Asian countries also moving back toward the orbit of Moscow. So I don’t know about Poland, But if Putin is successful in Ukraine, he will probably make a move against Baltic Countries. (And we should not forget Belarus. I don’t believe the people of Belarus are all fervent admirers of Lukashenko’s regime either)
