The BRICS is an attempt to avoid international law and the global economic and political development according to the UN Charter and associated international declarations. This includes international law and financial crimes and including UN imposed sanctions. BRICS members are mainly authoritarian dictatorships which are resistant to democratic principles including peaceful dissent and opposition parties. Freedom of speech and media. Putin is and international war criminal. China has resumed its attempt at Asian hegemony and domination reminiscent of the Ching Dynasty. Very strange that China still requires it's loan repayment s from developing nations in USD s at exorbitant secret interest rates.

Non-committal about Russia's flagrant invasion of a sovereign nation, but calls sanctions "illegal"!? Are the leaders of those nations completely self-deluded? Or more likely, just self-interested... it may come back to bite them eventually...

It must be awful suffering from this level of self hatred. If the author could pause his self-flagellation for a moment perhaps he could tell us who should be leading the world instead of the USA and its western allies. For all their faults and mistakes, can the author name one country that could have been as generous, supportive and (positively) inspirational as America has been since 1945?

There isn't one David, sadly :-( That the US is the best humanity has had to offer in the last century or so is quite the indictment of human progress as a whole... but yeah, the least worst option (bit like democracy) LOL
