The Spin

The 16th BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia, is very important for the Putin regime, but the fact is that Putin, a wanted war criminal, is becoming increasingly isolated on the global stage. He needs the support and assistance of BRICS nations to continue his war in Ukraine. All told, BRICS does not pose a major threat to US and Western security.

Russia is not as isolated as Western leaders want to think. A huge number of world leaders are going to Russia for the 16th BRICS summit to exchange perspectives on current global and regional challenges, as well as to address politics and security, the economy, and finance. The United States' hegemonic domination is at its end point and the world is now a multipolar one.
