I am not in favor of BRICS at all - I would much rather have seen America leading the democratic countries in the world. However, it seems to me that the Biden Administration has lost the plot with too many things and amongst them honesty in Government.
There is also another question that needs answers. Who is in fact really governing the USA - it is nt the Biden Presidency - it is who controls the DNC and hence the Presidency. What Trump did Biden signed off and destroyed. We had a stable world environment - now we have wars and total instability. That is why I believe the countries are trying desperately to find protection in for instance BRICS.
I am old and will not live another decade - so for me the world is not important - but what about the fate of younger people and children in future.
What Hamas did in Israel is horrible but is the same as ISIS did in Iraq. Obama did virtually nothing while ISIS took over massive areas in Iraq and Syria. That is what is wrong in the world today. If the USA had a strong and principled Government there would have been no war in Ukraine - but instead of helping France and Germany to stop the rot and implement the agreed peaceful settlement in Ukraine, evidence is the USA undermined the Minsk agreement and caused the fall of democracy in Ukraine - replacing it with an undemocratic and unconstitutional Government in Ukraine in 2014. There is effectively virtually a Government fully funded by the USA in operation in Ukraine at present..
If Trump was President -
* there would have been no war in Ukraine; and
* Iran would have been severely punished for the actions of the proxy elements that caused the horrible deeds we saw over the last few days.
It would have been fear of punishment that would have stopped the rot in the first instance - but with a weak and unstable Government in the USA the world is floundering around without leaders. In Europe the political situation is unstable as well. The Governments in Europe have either fallen in elections or destruction of weak coalition Governments. Italy, Sweden and Slovakia are examples of election losses and the Netherlands is having an election in November. The fall of the Dutch Government came because the Government decided to undermine farming and especially the major Dutch cheesemaking industry by a dubious war against cows on instruction of the EU. In the regional and local election opposition to the government was strengthened and with the majority in the Dutch Senate being against what the Dutch Government in many fields could not be sustained hence the collapse. The German coalition Government has lost the plot as well. They are still floundering along - but for how long. I personally think the next major fall-out will be the EU - which ultra leftist liberal policies are being destroying the EU as well. Italy has said no more illegal migrants and sent some to France and Germany who do not want them either. What is happening in the UK is just as chaotic. The Conservative Party - only in name conservative - is a joke in bad taste.
In the meantime economies worldwide are destroyed by inflation largely the result of uncontrolled spending.and floundering politics in the Western countries. The Global Warming policies based on fake science is another destructive element in the Western countries. Canada is in chaos as well and election of Biden or another Democrat as President next year is going to have catastrophic results for the world in general. I would not be surprised if Europe form its own BRICS equivalent with Russia as part of that one as well.
In any event the European Governments supporting Ukraine in the present War are collapsing. The first one to go was Italy followed by Sweden, Slovakia and Poland, .
All in all the Western Governments are all weak and going along with the so-called liberal and socialist tendencies and the ordinary people are losing faith in their Governments. The Western Media call the new Governments Fascist, but they are not really fascist - they are only interested in protecting the various culture and national beliefs of countries hey live in.
All in all Democracy as we knew it in the last 70 years since WW2 is in serious trouble and self-destructing under new regimes that preach different d angerous policies to ensure total control of Government over the ordinary people in a borderless world.
I am writing this to get it off my chess for once. I see destruction of morals and integrity as a new development in the world supported by brainwashed idiots who will find in their lifetime total collapse of morals, honesty and integrity - hence of democracy - and cry about it when it is too late to remedy.
