Watching the (cold, for now) start of a conflict between NATO & BRICS is terrifying.

Watching the (cold, for now) start of a conflict between NATO & BRICS is terrifying.
- spamizbad 4y agoNATO is a defensive military alliance between North America and some European countries and BRICS are a collection of emerging economies that host an annual summit. They're not really comparable Also three big players among the BRICS are sort of on opposite sides: Brazil has some ties to the US and India and China aren't exactly on the best of terms.
- david927 4y agoThen call it US + EU vs Russia + China. The point is that it's getting serious.

- trasz 4y agoExcept BRICS won’t fight for Russia. China is very explicitly not an ally, and Kazakhstan is openly mocking Putin. Thus, it’s NATO vs “Nigeria with nukes” alone.

- david927 4y agoUsing a country as an epithet is something that I haven't seen since high school. Nigeria is a beautiful place which has historically been incredibly rich with resources during a phase of history where pillaging, and the its subsequent suppression of rights, is rife, whether it's done by foreign nations or, currently, multinational corporations. > China is very explicitly not an ally The very public announcement at the Olympics says, very explicitly, otherwise.
