@pintohoo; TACO's latest brain-dead outburst threatening Putin's Russia reminded me of Tony Abbott's threat to shirtfront him that saw Abbltt subsequently join Putin for a repulsive photo shoot cuddling koalas.
By forcing other countries to do its dirty work by requiring them to impose sanctions on Russia, the USA breathed energy and motivation into BRICS. It already surpasses the G7 and as the waiting list of thirty countries progressively sign up to it the writing on the wall spells doom and gloom for the USA and old western countries welded onto the USA.
