the U.N. Is even bigger than brics. It has about 100% of world population and economic output and military assets. I guess that means non members Abkhazia, Artsakh, Kosovo, Niue, northern cyprus, somaliland, South ossetia, taiwan, and transnister will all be promptly curb stomped and instantly defeated in any conflict involving a U.N. Member state.Originally posted by Serb View PostBRICS
When it was an alliance of just five countries was 32,5% of the Global GDP and 41.5% of the Global population,
While G7 is just 27% of Global GDP and 9,87% of the Global population.
And those numbers do not include the last decisions made in on the last summit in South Africa to include in BRICKS: Iran, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Egypt!
These ones will become a members of BRICS since January 1, 2024
With those countries combined G7 suck balls with a deep throat performance!
Another 16 countries have made an official plea to join the BRICS:
Algeria[91] (applied in 2022)
Because the World is SICK OF YOU!!!

And we will fkn bury you!

Russia is losing actual Russian territory. Bolshoy Ussuriysky is an island between Russia and China. In the 1920's and 1930's the USSR occupied the disputed island. In 2008 they agreed with China to partition the island with each side having about half. This was to "ensure good relations." China's state mapping agency just released its 2023 official maps and they are now showing the entire island as Chinese territory. Seems the Chinese conquest of Russia has begun.

It seems that the attack on Verbove may have penetrated the defensive line. Ukrainian troops have been geolocated well behind the trenches and dragon's teeth. Not seeing anything on if this is a major breach or just a recon in force, but it definitely demonstrates that the defensive line is weakening if not fully breached.
Verbove is located to the east of Robotyne. Capturing it will help flatten Ukrainian lines and make their main thrust less vulnerable to counterattack.
Reports are also saying that Russia is moving some better units from the attack in the Northeast down to the Southern front to shore up defenses that are weakening. Ukraine is also said to be moving troops from that theatre to the southern front as well. If you look at the map, you will see that Ukrainian troops have the benefit of shorter internal movement routes while the Russians have to take a longer route along the curve of the lines. This could place as many as 7 Ukrainian brigades into the fight before the Russian reinforcements can get there. IF this is actually the case, and given that Russian defenses are clearly beginning to fail, then the hoped strategic breakthrough may come within the next week or two. As always, the fog is thick....."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

Meanwhile in Russia:
Telling that he went to jail for "extremism" aka moaning about Putin etc, but not for downing a civilian airlinerJailed former Russian military commander Igor Girkin, who has strongly criticized how the war in Ukraine has been handled, announced his presidential ambitions on Thursday, while outlining why he would be more suitable to lead the country than Vladimir Putin.
The announcement came days after 52-year-old Girkin, a prominent nationalist, failed in an appeal against his pre-trial detention on charges of inciting extremism.
The former Federal Security Service (FSB) officer, who assisted Russia's move to annex the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, was detained at his home on July 21 and faces charges of making calls for extremist activities.
He had been openly publishing commentary critical of Russia's military strategy and setbacks since Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Days before his arrest, Girkin called the Russian president a "cowardly mediocrity" and said Russia would not survive another presidential term by Putin.
(...)
Putin, wrote Girkin, "refuses to lead military operations and considers himself incompetent in military affairs."
"I consider myself more competent in military affairs than the current president, and certainly than the current minister of defense, therefore I could fulfill the duties of the supreme commander in chief as required by the Constitution of the Russian Federation."
(...)
But let's see how his bid for the presidency is going...

Mitt Romney offered an interesting moment of clarity, as he ran down a list of the great things achieved by such a small % of our defense budget going to the war in Ukraine he ended with the greatest of all - 0 lost lives
