On to the point in many issues. There were a lot of personal and movements projections onto BRICS as THE saviors of the world (specially even Russia and China), but Gaza Board of Peace Resolution non-vetoed by Russia and China at the UNSC put them naked as following their only one economical interest for themselfs (just when a Genocide is commited every single day and no one except Yemen took seriously the Genocide Convention of the UN), and now with the Iran illegal attack by the evil Epstein alliance in Fury, BRICS became irrelevant and pasive ... Redefinition and ndew alliances are coming for sure there.
And the other front: Cuba and the so wrongly called "latinamerica" (it is not "latin", it is aboriginal and with a lot of languages spoken from before the europeans discover how to sail a ship), the new re-colonization by the zionist-US vampires dirsty of blood and rare earth and trafficking (drugs, children, prostitution), and where all these battle fronts converge: the AI world dominance overtaken.
If we don't articulate our resistance power against the zionist-techno-fascist corporative alliances, things will become really hard for everyone on the planet (except the putrivillionaires...but they are already dead by their inexistent souls, isn't it? perhaps they are already AI golems...).
"...but Gaza Board of Peace Resolution non-vetoed by Russia and China at the UNSC..."
Why would you expect Russia or China to veto a peace plan, regardless of how ill conceived it was? Notice how they abstained, which signalled that they didn't believe it was a serious proposal, but at the same time avoided being blamed for shooting it down?
What else would you expect them to do? Put their own proposal on the table to have it vetoed by the USA? Or suppose the US agreed. What then? Russia (and perhaps China) commit peace keepers, who right away would become targets and potentially be drawn into direct conflict with Israel? Russia already has one situation with NATO/USA on its hands. Why would they want another? As for China, they have a long-standing doctrine of non-interference that has served them well up to this point. Why put that in jeopardy?
I think people need to stop thinking of Russia (or China) as the saviours of civilization. They've done a fairly good job of protecting their own civilizations I would say, so why would you expect anything more of them?
I agree with you about people need to stop to project on Russia and China the role of saviors: they are not. They pursue their own interests, and have the right to do so as sovereign nations. But you are wrong about what would happen if they use their right to Veto a not only unfair Resolution, but a Resolution against the fundational charter of the UN and a Resolution that brought no peace to Gaza but instutionalize the Genocide, the Ethnic Cleansing and deny the Right of the palestinians to Excercize their Self Defense by any meaning against an occupation force. The Resolution has erased 70 or more years of historical resolutions about the "Palestine Illegal Occupation": Russia and China were complicit in this SCAM of "Peace" and ATTACK to the UN and UN history.
Russia and Israel have very good ties, politically, demographically, economically, militarly, and their was not "risk" of any serious confrontation between them because a Veto (perhaps the traditional arrogant rethoric from the zionist psychos and threatens, but this is de diplomatic psy-op), neither China that have economical relations in times of Genocide with the genocidal entity. And Russia is ALL IN with the bussiness design of the mentioned Peace Scam, investing 1 billion u$s to be part of this vampirical enterprise.
I wouldn't expect they act as saviors (they have not the moral standard and altruism Yemen has and had in the worst times, the very one state in the world who uphold to the Genocide Convention), but not just to be part of this atrocity. Iran has the guts to confront "the most powerful army in the world" (or perhaps the second, by anyway, it is the same) for the sake of their own citizens, but for the aboriginal inhabitants of the whole region, and the Axis of Resistance is doing their part against the empire (zionist are part of the empire, the regional mad dog ... but even more as we can see everyday on every country, how much influence they have at the point to twist the citizens rights and freedom in many countrys of the west).
To pursue your own interest only is a very egoistic and capitalistic way of life: what the world need the most is MORAL VALUES and act according with them.
Of course it imply risks, but if not, the risks are even bigger and more tragic.

Frankly I don’t see a reason get all worked up about it at this point. Israel and the USA attacked Iran just 3 months after the so-called “Board of Peace" was formalized, which pretty much exposed the lie and put an end to its operations. An attack like that doesn’t happen on the spur of the moment - it takes months of planning, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Russia had penetrated Israeli intelligence and already had advanced notice of the attack and what that implied for the “Board of Peace” so why make a big fuss about something that was doomed to fail anyway?
As far as Russia’s role vis a vis Iran, I think you need to get up to speed on what’s actually happening. Iran lacked Russian air defence systems on the first attack - the so-called 12 day war. That was their choice. Russia made the offer, Iran declined as they were at the time unwilling to be dependent on a foreign supplier. That has now changed and is reflected in their current systems, especially the Shahed drones which were upgraded by Russia and are currently being supplied by them along with other vital materials via the Caspian Sea route. China has also stepped up, offering the use of their Bei Dou satellite navigation system in lieu of the US controlled Global Positioning System. This provides accurate targeting information that cannot be jammed, plus post targeting damage assessment. Also consider the fact that Iran now has MIRV capable ballistic missiles. It’s possible that they developed the technology on their own, but I think it’s more likely they had some help, and the candidate list for that is fairly short: Russia, China, Pakistan, N Korea.
I understand your passion, but it’s important to get our facts straight and to dig a bit deeper into the actions and possible motivations that the various actors might have. Nothing is ever perfectly clear, especially to us little people up in the cheap seats.
About the Russian "all in" the so called Board of Peace, it is well known. Many countrys were invited (you forgot Mexico at least), thankfully many decline the invitation. Putin offer 1 billion from the russian assets US took from the banks, strange move, but proactive as it shows.
Iranian radar system (an indigenous ingeneer work) is badly missvalue and minimaized by the west alternative media, as well as the drone industry and ingeneery capabiliy Iran has. I reccomend you to take a look to some innterviews Vanessa Beeley did to Ehsan Safarnejad, an iranian geopolitical analyst very well informed about all military matters and more.
Respecting the deny of Iran to sign a mutual defense agreement with Russia speaks a lot about the confidence Iran has in its own indigenous capabilitys: Russia made some upgrades in another upgraded by Iran drones. And Russia wanted iranian boots on the ground in Ukraine, and Iran needed its own military for the actual war of agression.
It is very difficult to have all the information and dots connected, and I appreciate your thoughts and "push" me to be more informed: I think everyone of us is trying to do our best to get the whole picture, and as you said, we have only the cheap seats here :-)
"And Russia wanted iranian boots on the ground in Ukraine, and Iran needed its own military for the actual war of agression."
Do you have a source for this, because I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere and I pay close attention, especially to the Russia and Iranian press.
One has to be cautious when reading any news source these days, especially western, but also Indian and some other nations as well. As one example, here is a news item I looked into for another site I post on which reveals how misleading some of them can be:
Was not a "new", but a geopolitical iranian interpretation of why Iran refused the mutual agreement defense with Russia, even when it was inminent the attack from US-Israel and then the war. Russia need to aliviate the inflicted death of russians on the Ukraine-Russia war, perhaps because of the internal pressure Puttin and the government has to finish the war. Obviously this means the risk of reading between the lines ... but there is where we can find the real motivations of politicians.
More than indicating a willingness to join I think it shows the sense of irony Russians have, which often is missed by western observers. The chance of the US ever freeing $1B in Russian assets is just about zero, so I think Putin was making a point, not so much an offer to join. His other remarks in the article would seem to point in that direction.
It's important to recognize that Putin is only one of several voices in the decision making process. Granted he has ultimate authority, but he doesn't act without consulting his cabinet and military commanders. Western portrayals of him as a dictator are highly misleading and IMO are intended to give the false impression that the Russian people are dissatisfied with him and desiring a change of regime. Nothing could be further from the truth as illustrated in the Levada polls, bearing in mind that Levada is viewed as a 5th column by the Russian govt. and as such is unlikely to distort their polling results in a direction favouring Putin.
Well it is reading between the lines too (about the offer of Puttin to be member), because he was interested and is intelligent enough of course to put US in a conundrum, with a lot of irony, yes). Russia because (perhaps?) of the abstention, obtain a reduction in the sanctions ... was it a deal? make treason with the UN charter and obtain economical benefits because of it? The excuse China and Russia did for the abstention was not even credible (citing they has nothing to said if muslims countrys -Gulf prozionist not really muslims monarchies) want it ....
I believe you're right, there's not much hope in BRICS as each nation pursues narrow self interest without any overarching guiding principle. The Global South is still too divided, while the US has plenty of allies and satraps willing to do its bidding.
We always come back to the words of Nasrallah: There is no international law, and nobody will protect you but God and your weapons. (I'm paraphrasing from memory)
The hidden assumption here is that BRICS was intended as some sort of mutual defence pact, but that was never the case. BRICS was always an economic association based on trade and investment. It presented itself as an alternative to the dollar based system, but that was never mandatory, just a potential choice when it made sense to a member state.
If you want to talk about mutual defence, there are really only three serious players: Russia, Iran and China, and for similar reasons. All three have been the target of US/NATO aggression, but more to the point, all three have the ability to fight back, individually as well as in concert. No other nation on earth holds that distinction.
Now compare them to the other BRICS members. India gained its independence in 1947 while Brazil gained its independence in 1822. So how far have they come, compared to China since 1949, after a devastating war and the disastrous early years of forced collectivization? How is South Africa doing, having followed the same fruitless path as Zimbabwe? Egypt? Indonesia? Ethiopia? Any signs of progress there?
Now compare BRICS to the SCO where India is the only member that doesn't fit, while the rest all make sense, either from an economic, geographic or mutual defence standpoint.
Hand wringing over BRICS makes very little sense. Its members are too dispersed, both geographically and politically to form any kind of serious union. The SCO, on the other hand, sits astride China's Belt and Road, and almost entirely encompasses Mackinder's Heartland and is therefore a far more serious organization.
To be noted: The US/ zionist axis of evil will not stop unless they are forced to stop. Iran and its allies in the resistance have become aware of this and are now prepared to counter this ongoing existential threat by employing the latest technologies and strategies against America's over-reliance on military might and its predictable arrogance.
🙋j Mearsheimer thinks trump will have to cut a deal because starting the war again would be very bad for the world when Iran destroys the middle east energy infrastructure in retaliation.
I already know that Trump would be too clueless to notice, but I wonder if any of Trump's Billionaire buddies noticed that Xi Jinping wasn't surrounded by a bunch of Chinese Billionaires. And then I wondered, if any of them reflected upon that and said, could this by why China is doing so much better than the US economically. Could this be why they don't have homeless people or people in debt for medical reasons or why their population is gainfully employed with such a high standard of living or... Yeah who am I fooling, although it was a nice little thought while it lasted.
BRICS appears fractured over the Iran conflict. China and Russia lean toward Iran, India avoids taking sides, and Gulf members fear regional instability. The bloc issues vague calls for restraint but lacks unity or influence. Internal rivalries and conflicting interests make a decisive collective response unlikely, exposing BRICS’ limits as a geopolitical alliance.
On to the point in many issues. There were a lot of personal and movements projections onto BRICS as THE saviors of the world (specially even Russia and China), but Gaza Board of Peace Resolution non-vetoed by Russia and China at the UNSC put them naked as following their only one economical interest for themselfs (just when a Genocide is commited every single day and no one except Yemen took seriously the Genocide Convention of the UN), and now with the Iran illegal attack by the evil Epstein alliance in Fury, BRICS became irrelevant and pasive ... Redefinition and ndew alliances are coming for sure there.
And the other front: Cuba and the so wrongly called "latinamerica" (it is not "latin", it is aboriginal and with a lot of languages spoken from before the europeans discover how to sail a ship), the new re-colonization by the zionist-US vampires dirsty of blood and rare earth and trafficking (drugs, children, prostitution), and where all these battle fronts converge: the AI world dominance overtaken.
If we don't articulate our resistance power against the zionist-techno-fascist corporative alliances, things will become really hard for everyone on the planet (except the putrivillionaires...but they are already dead by their inexistent souls, isn't it? perhaps they are already AI golems...).
