This is a misguided comment. UAE is a soft version of Izrael in the Persian Gulf. To suggest that Iran should not attack it is because it is a part of BRICS is nonsense. The attack hurts Trump and his family financial interests which partially explains why he is so furious. Moreover deadly Iranian attacks show that US defence guarantees to the Arab states are a sham.

I didn't suggest that Iran shouldn't attack the UAE, I only pointed out how it doing so exposed the limits of BRICS unity, which have always been nothing but an Alt-Media psy-op.

Alt-Media psy-op? So people's (misguided) hopes to have some counterballance to the Evil Empire is just a psy-op operation of Alt-Media (which are just lone individuals puting their souls out, because it is possible with the technology)? Your statement is unbeckoming.

Yes, a psy-op, as in a deliberate psychological operation to mislead people. These folks lied, they were politely corrected many times in the past, doubled down, then had the red carpet rolled out for them here in Russia by its diplomats. You fell for "Potemkinism", not my problem, though:

BRICS never claimed, in any official capacity, that is a security block. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization yes, or what Russians established in the former soviet space.

As for Iran attacking United Arab Eunuchs, that is a strategical game for which many are supportive of, because it has the purpose and potential of driving the Americans out with their military bases.

As for Indians, what can I say, there is a saying in the old country: "drowning like the Gypsy, on the shore (after crossing the lake or the river)".

You're right Andrew.

And what you say should have been obvious at Kazan summit that jesters of AMC has described as a consecration.

Concerning the big fat Indian turkey, I remember very well when, few years ago, India swore an eternal brotherhood to Iran.

Abject.

Of the BRICS countries the only 2 that feel they have an alliance are Russia & China becxause they both feel threthened . by the USA. India does not have that feeling because they have issues with China. Iran is striking at those countries that they feel must be weakened. Iran feels close to Russia because they are neighbors and have common enemies.

BRICS always had some CORE problems.

WHAT IS THE POINT, of creating an ALTERNATE, international economy?

Its to get away from the usa/british usury (and war crimes) dollar.

BUT, INDIA is culturally occupied by england.

So India is not going to be any help at that.

South Africa is not going to be any help for that either.

BRICS, is mostly good as a CONCEPT.

But BRICS itself, cannot work as intended.

First time I hear BRICS was to be a security block. The SCO is one and designed as such. BRICS+ is and always was an economic bloc.

Iran is striking the UAE in places where it perceives harboring US and Israeli military cells. It would be lunacy, and it was lunacy in the past, on Iran's part to leave those hostile places as protected bubbles in such close proximity. The attack on Aramco is said to be a false flag which is highly likely given Israel's track record. Same for a number of attacks in Oman.

BRICS was never anything other than a glorified dorm room bull session.

Not really I think they were glad to see those spies gone also and I'm certain that's why they never turn on their air defense system
