The bank created by the BRICS countries refused to invest in Russia because of sanctions

The New Development Bank (NDB), created by the BRICS countries to finance investment projects and issued $30 billion in loans over 7 years, will not invest in Russia. This was announced on Wednesday by the head of the bank, Dilma Rousseff, who served as president of Brazil in 2011-2016.

According to Rousseff, the bank, which was created also with Russian funds, fully complies with international sanctions and therefore does not consider new projects in Russia. Rousseff also called "groundless" speculations that the bank may continue to work with Moscow.

Make absolutely no mistake about this. The United States of America is the most powerful country in the entire world in any single metric of evaluation, be it military, financial, political or otherwise.

No nation would dare go toe to toe with the US and survive.

And it's said that the US has "run low" on a weapon. It doesn't literally mean that the weapon is indeed low, it means that "disposal amount" in stock of that weapon is now low. America has bases all over the world and with that comes a quota of arms which must be present on all that bases.

If this was a war that America took extremely seriously. By now that country will be conquered. But this war just like many, is basically a proxy war. One where another country is used to fight the enemies, not Americans themselves devoting everything it has to it.

For instance, America has given about 50 billion to Ukraine. That's basically chicken change to it. Less than 0.1 percent of its economy. This is because they are still trying to use economic warfare and sanctions to cripple Russia.
If America committed as much as 5% to the war, this would be a foregone conclusion.
you may be right ,just that they spent 8.9% of their GDp fighting farmers in Afghanistan and still failed to attain their goals. This is even when American blood was used in the war

How can a nation that claim to be a super power be intimidating other nation with sanctions if they won't be her friend grin
No Olympics for Russia? i don't think anyone here is surprised, we know for sure alot of these international bodies are western tool just like the imf, worldbank and icc so we all know.
But if Russia is so little why can't NATO just get involved already and finish what they started

Stupid Ukrainians. Destroying their homes, cities, demographics, people and family structure so they can fight someone else's battle. Just like politicians who give cultists dangerous weapons to fight on their behalf while their own children enjoy five-star holidays abroad.

While the Americans today go to Disneyland to enjoy themselves, another set of Ukrainians (fighting on behalf of the Americans) will become either dead, injured, destitute, homeless or become a refugee elsewhere. Today, many Ukrainians children will become orphans, their wives become widows, and their men end up dead or disfigured. I wonder when the Ukrainian civilian population will finally have the balls to say enough is enough.

I'm sorry but this is quite a deluded way of looking at it.

For Americans, this is a proxy war to defeat a rival. (Note that the rival is actually evil in this case by deliberately initiating the mass murdering and destruction of lives and properties of innocent people).

But for Ukrainians, this is a fight for their lives. They don't want to be conquered! They want to be left alone to carve their own futures as a sovereign nation.

This is a war of life and death for them regardless of what Americans intent are but if Americas intent aligns with theirs, all the very best for them too. They just want to exist as a sovereign nation, to be able to choose its own alliances and make its own decisions. Ever wonder why former Soviet states and allies all run towards the US??

Because they know what they suffered and what they saw under Communist Soviet Russia.

You're quite a deluded fellow.

Is there any proxy war where the "victim", Ukraine in this case, is not made to believe the other side is evil and that the proxy war is a fight for their survival.

Because if there is no propaganda to make them believe that, how else are you going to get them to fight for you?

Okay, let's put ourselves in Ukrainians shoe.

Let's say south Africa invades us, kills thousands of us, claiming that we are supposed to be under them, but China comes to our rescue because China hates South Africa. So China supplies us with weapons which we ask for and all of us in the country actually wish for revenge on south Africa.

Now tell me, will you hate China for supporting us from South Africa's invasion even when we ourselves definitely DO NOT want to be under South Africa's rule?

Ukrainian/NATO propaganda is often times very lazy they just switch roles between Ukraine and Russia and then they call that the news.

So that was a leopard tank? If not for your explanation I wouldn't have known. British propaganda is shameless and pathetic most of the time. cool

We already have an example in the Biafran civil war where France (as in the case of USA) only armed Biafra not because they cared for their welfare but because they wanted to weaken US and British (Russia) influence in Africa.

Weapons were smuggled in, even passing through airspaces of multiple countries. Right-wing mercenaries (like in Ukraine) were flown in from the then Nazi-equivalent countries of Rhodesia and South-Africa to drag the war on for 3 years.

Now when the Biafrans were suffering from starvation, France and its allies didn't bother sending or smuggling food, they only still kept sending weapons. The war for them was to the last Biafran, just like it is now to the last Ukrainian. It took over 3 years and more than 2 million wasted lives before we knew we have been played. My fear is just like in Biafra, it will take a lot of wasted lives before the Ukrainians come to realize they have been played.

Hostilities should always be settled first by negotiations. Nigeria had the opportunity of avoiding the Biafran war through the Aburi Accord just like the war in Ukraine has had multiple chances of negotiations. But chances of negotiations succeeding are always destroyed by warmongers, in this case, Washington, who see it as a valuable opportunity to weaken a potential rival and are ready to sacrifice to the last Ukrainian.

If pro-French power collapses there, it will be a major and important victory for Moscow: Niger is France's bastion in the Sahel and a source of uranium for French nuclear power plants. And our entry there will hit France much harder than these farts of yours on wheels from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A US soldier called Travis King defected to North Korea a week ago. His defection is just another of the many defections by South Koreans, US soldiers, and foreign citizens.

As usual, this is not in the news but the news would've gone nuts if it was a North Korean defecting to South Korea.

Another unspoken truth is that many North Koreans that defect to the South often request to be returned to the North after a while.

As for the North, they always send defecting South Koreans back to the South ๐Ÿคฃ

Russia banned from the Olympics.

A shame what Putin has turned Russia into.

A once powerful country in the twentieth century, now a shunned country detached from international entrants. Such a pity.

No world cup for them, no euros, no Olympics. Out of the global financial system and begging to be let back in.
Begging a very poor country like north Korea for weapons.

Such a shame what this once great country and superpower of the 20th century became, all because of one man.
I do pity the common Russians. They're all puppets and victims of this mad man.
