              When they didn’t like them anymore … It doesn’t forgive what they have been doing ever since. My country and many others have been ravaged and are still struggling with the ghost of communism. Thousands of people died in horrible conditions because of these so-called saviors.

              And no I am not excusing what us has done in any way. They have their own sins to atone for. But between the russian drunken stupor of a society I’ll take the “depraved” west any day.

              After starting the whole WWII thing by allying with them, and only turned on the nazis after the nazis backstabbed them. And afterwards, occupied half of Europe.

                I mean, I’m just saying they’re largely responsible for finishing the third reich off. Nothing else. Russia-lovers in the western world are a joke. The e-commie thing in its entirety is absurd. But the one positive thing I can say about them is th at they technically dealt the biggest blow to the Nazi regime

            Same can be said of the US, however that’s no reason to think the other NATO members should not help Ukraine. BRICS is an umbrella term for several countries.

                It’s an analogy, just because you’re in an alliance with an imperialist fascist state, doesn’t mean you can’t do the right thing.

                I worry for the reading comprehension of our US brethren although it does explain a couple of the recent world events.

          Ah yes, russia with their great track record of peaceful geopolitics. I’m sure Ukraine, Georgia, Afghanistan, Finland, et al. are very grateful for the peace they’ve brought.

            Likewise, i’m sure the rest of the planet appreciates being couped every year with one of your unhinged dictators, and being economic vassals.

            That’s like saying Estonia wanting to defend Ukraine is worthy of a LOL because NATO invaded Iraq steered by the US and UK… The BRICS represents many countries, this whole BRICS = Russia is downright white supremacy.

              But no one said BRICS equals russia. And NATO didn’t invade Iraq, they did provide support roles yes, but the invasion was US led. If I were to put words in your mouth I’d say you just accused BRICS of invading Ukraine.

                BRICS peace force enteting Gaza would be a wild timeline.

                Ah yes, Russia…

    A bit alarming perhaps, but BRICS also has Egypt already part of it. Might be that Palestine likes the idea of having a close-by ally. Or Iran, as an enemy of Israel.
