Is the Axis of Power tilting towards Russia, with BRICS Summit and the Two Bloodied Wars?

From International Criminal Court issuing arrest warrant against Russian President Putin, to his playing the host to leaders of 36 nations that account for 45 per cent population of the world, and 35 per cent world economy, this may have been President Putin’s biggest moment after the U.S. and the West tried to alienate Russia following Ukraine war in 2022.

The U.S., Israel and the West are engrossed in the Middle-East mess, as well as a war against Russia alongside Ukraine, while Russia is fighting a less-stressed up battle with Ukraine. Sanctions against Russia tried to weaken its economy, but BRICS Summit indicates that there are many nations who do not think the way the U.S. and the West want them to think.

Among nations that are attending BRICS Summit, the most prominent whose economy and military power holds sizable count, include China, India, South Africa, Brazil, Egypt, Iran, and United Arab Emirates. Putin has already met one-on-one with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and holding bilateral meetings with 15 other leaders, according to reports of news organisations on the sidelines of BRICS Summit in Kazan. Turkey and Saudi Arabia too have applied to be member of BRICS. Others who are to attend the Summit, include the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, as well as leaders from Algeria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Indonesia and Mexico.

Key aim of BRICS is to find a way out of the dominance of dollar, which the U.S. often uses as a political weapon through sanctions.

BRICS is taking place on the eve of the U.S. presidential election, and its outcome may resonate in the upcoming power at the White House after November 5.
