“Brazil just said the other day they haven’t agreed to all these trade sanctions against Russia.”
Ah, now you are backpedaling, and placing qualifiers on your statement. Your statement, in toto, was: “Russia has more sympathy and support outside of the usual western countries than you may thing. I’m not even talking about China and India, there’s plenty of others.”
I challenged your statement, and you trotted out the rather feeble qualifier re: Brazil. But, the fact is, Brazil only said it won’t take sides in the Russo-Ukraine conflict. That’s support? Well, maybe on your planet.
Few of the African or South American countries will honor sanctions for any length of time, they will do what’s in their best interest, which is buying cheaper energy, fertilizer, and wheat from Russia. Brazil specifically said that about fertilizer of which Russia is a major exporter of. China just told Biden today to F-off, and if he tried imposing retaliatory sanctions against China for trading with Russia, they would strongly respond. You’re as clueless as the idiots in the White House if you think sanctions will bring Russia to heel.
