Leader of Pussy Riot Band Escapes Russia
Time: Pussy Riot 100 Women Of The Year.
Russian protest group Pussy Riot
Yep, Degenerate Russians record videos.
Good points!
But I doubt if Turkey, Egypt or India will become enemies of the West, regardless of how friendly they want to be with Russia & China.
I can't see BRICS as a military threat, ever, and economically... all BRICS countries do over 80% of their international trade with non-BRICS countries, especially the US.
BRICS currencies, even the Chinese Yuan, play a minor to non-existent role in international trade.
So, I'm just not feeling the threat from the wider "Global South".
However, Russia, China, NoKo & Iran -- add in Cuba, Venezuela, Belarus, Serbia and maybe a few others -- definitely, big time trouble.

Vlad favors Kamala! :
Ukraine's basic problem today is -- so far as I can tell -- there is no plan for victory, never was, in the US government, or NATO, or anywhere else that I've seen.
This is the result of a brain-dead US Democrat president and "vibes & joy" cackling VP.
Indeed, our Democrats are shaking-in-their-boots afraid of Ukrainian victory, because they don't want to see Vlad the Invader's Russia commit national suicide and/or otherwise collapse.
This is why Vlad sincerely says he favors Slow Biden and Kommunist Harris in the White House.
So everyone says, "oh, that Putin, he's just mocking Harris, he really wants Trump!".
No! Under Biden/Harris, Vlad the Invader has the perfect conditions he needs to both solidify Russian military capabilities at home and realign the "Global South" against "Western hegemons".
Under Biden, Putin can keep his invasion going as long as he wants, with likely Russian victory in due time, while his regime's internal power, and Russia's global influence, grow nicely.
So, Putin's war in Ukraine is somewhat analogous to Stalin's 1939 invasion of Finland, in that its failures show the leadership what equipment, tactics and logistics work, and which military leaders need to be removed & replaced.
Stalin used those lessons to prepare for Hitler's expected invasion.
Stalin's only mistake was in assuming that Hitler was not stupid enough to invade the USSR before Germany was ready, in 1942.
Vote Trump to disrupt the deep state and Democrats.
Lev Golinkin's image of Ukrainians in 1941 and 2014:
bimboeruption to kirandil: "Thank you for reminding me about Ukraine's ongoing love of everything "nazi"."
It's worth noticing that the Golinkin 2021 article in Forward is only one of many in which he discusses present day memorials to Nazi collaborators in various countries, including:
Notably missing from this list is Russia, though Stalin's many purges of Soviet elites, including Kulaks, disproportionately swept up the USSR's 5 million Jews.Bottom line: Lev Golinkin did not write to single out Ukraine for memorializing Nazi sympathizers & collaborators, but rather to show how many countries, including the US, have done the same.
And we can easily add Stalin's Soviet Union to the list of persecutors of Jews.
Since 2000, Russians have erected nearly 100 new monuments to Stalin.
Left, in Moscow is missing his nose. Right, new bust in Lipetsk, east of Kursk:
Left, in Moscow is missing his nose
—
Significance is: missing nose - that is believed by many since Old Kingdom Egypt, to end any spiritual influence the statue had - in essence, the statue has been killed.
It's dirty work shoveling out our pro-Russians' propaganda sh*t: 😉
