Russia Ukraine war, page-217915

Really? So lets have a look at who Russia is aligned with via BRICS. China, India, the two most populous nations on earth with fast growing markets, markets that will need access to a huge amount of raw materials And then you throw in Brazil, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates. Some interesting names.

To date, Western sanctions have achieve nothing and Russia is predicted by the IMF to have the fastest growth in the developed world in 2025. And Russian and Chinese influence continues to grow in Africa as we have seen recently in Niger where the yanks and French are being kicked out and the Russians and Iranians invited in.

Russia has access to what will probably become the two biggest markets in the world and those markets do not want to be dependent on the West.

What is going to cause Russia huge stress is their collapsing population due to low birth rates but they are not alone there with Japan and Sth Korea (and many others) in the same boat.
