【Pskov: Previously, the West did not take the BRICS countries seriously, but everything has changed now】
On July 8, Alexei Pskov, Chairman of the Committee on Information Policy and Media Interaction of the Russian Federation Council (upper house of parliament), posted on his Telegram channel that the BRICS countries have become an important force in world politics. The full text is as follows:
The BRICS countries have become an important force in world politics. Trump's past statements expressing concern about the BRICS countries, as well as his current threat to impose a 10% tariff on all countries that support the "BRICS anti-American policy" (whatever that means), confirm this. If the West did not take the BRICS countries seriously 10 to 15 years ago, then everything has changed now: it has at least become a center with influence, shaping global public opinion and alternative policies.
Essentially, the BRICS countries represent the voice of the majority of the world. This certainly does not suit the interests of the "minority" trying to maintain its hegemony in a changing world. The West very much hopes that the majority will remain silent and inactive forever...
