The Ukrainians have already cracked the Russians more than once. They retook Kharkiv oblast, that is literally on Russia's borders. They retook Kherson, it was supposed to be impossible. They decimated a huge Russian thrust on Kyiv in the opening months of the war. What modern army has the modern Russian army ever fought? They are showing themselves to be much weaker than expected. What is happening now is Russia is on the defensive, how is that possible?

BRICS has been around a long time and it is not an economic union and Russia is not in control of it. The Russian controlled economic union is called the Eurasian Economic Union and you probably never heard of it because NO ONE wants to join it except small ex-soviet republics that have no choice. That was part of the Maidan protests, no one including Russian speakers want to be forced to be part of the EEU the want to be connected to the EU economically, every sane person would make that choice.

3/4 of the world is not "abandoning" the US dollar, they use their own currencies. Do you even know what people mean when they talk about a reserve currency?

Whatever censorship exists in the USA is pales in comparison to Russia. Russia is a dictatorship.

Are you for real? LOL!
