Ugh. > I guess the definition of "international" here is NATO. Rather, UN. See e.g. various votes last year. > BRICS have a population of 3.24 Billion. B - Billion. > NATO has a population of about 950 Million. M - Million. Yeah, BRICS is 3240-ish Million. M - Million. And NATO - ~0.95 Billion. B - Billion. And the cherry on top which is more important - in NATO countries opinions are much close to the actual opinions of people, while in BRICS R, I and C are various degrees of autocracies. Just ask people in Russia what do they think about the events in Ukraine, and you won't even need to remind them of laws which essentially prohibit non-official point of view. > BRICS countries are not dictating to anyone how they should live. This is from a different universe.
