The political clout of the BRICS is turning out to be as important as their increasing economic heft. Assumptions in 2001 that these countries would become friendly allies in a US-dominated world order are proving false.
Russia was not a aggressor in the conflict. Victoria Nuland and others have admitted they had no intention of honoring the Minsk agreement they signed. Ukraine has been shown to be full of NAZIS. Not sure what side your family was on in WWII but mine were fighting NAZIS. Russia is still fighting them today after helping the west defeat them in WWII. GO RUSSIA GO.
