The BRICS meeting in Kazan was met with gloating and with irony in the West.
In vain. Absolutely futile.
I have looked and read a lot about the gathering itself and the bilateral summits there.
What has happened - however we judge it - looks like a victory for the racist villain. And that's exactly how he perceives it.
This is what he warns on "Facebook" Nikolay Slatinsky.
The international presence in Kazan was both serious and indicative! Leaders of a number of countries, some of which are key in today's maddening and unpredictable world, come to Putin's feet and talk to him.
In fact, this Kazan affair is a definite sign of the weakening of the West as a global leader and the transition to a bipolar world.
No, not as Putin wanted - to have a multipolar world, instead of total domination by the USA and the West. We are moving towards a new bipolar world with two superpowers - the USA and China.
And as the one-man leadership of the West becomes more and more vulnerable, a process of reordering the Great Geostrategic Game is underway, gaining strength and speed.
Many of the satellites and weaklings, peddlers and sufferers of harem syndrome (the important thing is to be a concubine in someone's harem, no matter whose exactly it is) are largely reoriented. They line up at Their Friend in positions convenient for ... logarithms.
It was Comrade Si who was the main actor in Kazan.
And Putin basked in the rays of his Comrade's new glory.
This is also enough for Putin - to demonstrate that there is no isolation for him, that he is in the game.
Even as a vassal of China.
Even as a raw material appendage of China.
Even with China's yuanized Russian economy.
Even as China's bat.
Even as China's crazy and no-holds-barred neighbor, used to demolish the old world order and wear down the West and shatter its, the West's already increasingly formal unity with the insane War it is waging in Ukraine.
So the West should not gloat about the meeting in Kazan and should not ironize the results achieved and not achieved there.
The West must realize - and sooner rather than later, that the BRICS Assembly in Kazan is drawing warning, alarmist sounds from a heavy and ugly bell. And this bell tolls for him. For the West.
