BRICs formation cut a lifeline for Putin.
From any country sanctioned by the West can just hide in BRICS except India and China which are too big to depend only on BRICS market.
BRICs however is too disunited to be a trading bloc against the west.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
