As if “BRICS” weren’t already enough of a joke with its two largest “members” being actively involved in a border conflict, it would now admit a country providing significant armament to a state being occupied by another BRICS member that is being economically exploited by the two countries with the border conflict. Meanwhile the remaining two members are half a world away, doing nothing of note. What a shitshow.

Edit: it’s also typically American of the article to give the US credit for “founding” NATO when it was in fact future Canadian PM and Nobel Prize recipient Lester Pearson who was the prime mover.
