Lovrov has been gaslighting for Russia for so long, that he believes his own bullshit, and that his farts don't smell.

It can be part of whatever it likes. If it wasn't for Agent Kraznov helping Russia at every turn, they would already be a bankrupt economy. I don't see the GOP surviving the midterms, so Trump will be more concerned with all the investigations that will suddenly unfold, and Russia can go back to losing everything for nothing.

China is more concerned with Taiwan. They aren't going to get themselves in a war with Europe just so Vlad can feel good about himself.

Taiwan doesn't have oil that China needs to run it's economic engine and Russia is buying weapons and parts from China as is Iran. China just received Taiwan KMT leader for a meeting, they already got a foothold and will likely take Taiwan diplomatically over time

A diplomatic integration of the two would be lovely. Conversations about mutual need and benefits. Credible power sharing. Pluralistic in approach, where many cultures thrive!
But wait. I don't think that is what China has planned. They are thinking more like the integration that happens between the shark and the mackeral.

They should change that to BICS.
Russia is not emerging, it is submerging. And even before it started an unnecessary war it was borderline stagnating.

It is in a nominal sense true, but it had always been true. When America was 'developing', it was outpacing Britain's economic growth. When Germany and Japan was developing post-WWII, they were outpacing the former Allied powers, and when China is slowing now, India is growing faster than China. It is saying a lot of nothing.

Well, that's somewhat the meaning of "emerging". Otherwise it would be called "second tier economies that are never going to catch up". Doesnt mean every emerging market will be on top anytime soon, but serious competition is possible for some candidates (or already the case).
Also: Russia got itself degraded from emerging market to sinking market

They should. Not only is it the largest country in South America by far terms of geography and economy, but the arrogance of belittling anyone not in our "club" is what drives these countries towards our competitors.

If Europe didn't care, it would not piss it's collective pants whenever the likes of Mexico, Brazil and India made business with China and Russia.

They already do. Brazil is the anchor of South America and I would not be surprised if the US tries to take out its leader. The US had to cave on its 50% tariff on Brazil because it is now economically mighty enough not to need US trade to prosper.

From chatgpt:
China and India are considered **emerging economies** because they are in a transitional stage between developing and fully developed economic systems. The label is less about size alone and more about *where they are in their development path*.

China will probably over take the US but India would likely be 3rd rather than 2nd because of ineffective government policies and corruption. There is potential to do it but i don't think India will be there in 30 years.

It will be close. But in 50 years India is No.1 according to chatgpt
