Russia’s support is growing in the developing world

“Russia’s sphere of influence is growing as … Western powers fail to counter the Kremlin’s narratives”.
Apparently the western counter-narratives are just buggy and broken compared to Russia’s. Yes, I’m sure that’s the problem.
“Assessing countries’ enforcement of sanctions, U.N. voting patterns, domestic political trends and official statements alongside economic, political, military and historical ties, the EIU observed a significant uptick in the number of countries now leaning toward Russia — from 29 last year to 35 today”.
So we got diplomats running all over the place trying to use carrots and sticks to get uninvolved countries to get on board with the stupid sanctions, and more and more countries are simply telling them: Keep blowing off your own toes as much as you like, but don’t expect us to do it too, bucko …
“The EIU said the number of neutral countries rose from 32 to 35, now representing almost 31% of the global population.”
Later in the article they will note that the largest “neutral” is India which is kind of funny given that they note at the same time that India is importing 22x the amount of oil from Russia over last year.
Countries comprising almost two-thirds of the global population are either supposedly neutral like this or actively supporting Russia, and this is the estimation of the West’s own wonks, as reported in the West’s own captive media.
The analysis doesn’t have anything to say about where countries stand in relation to China, either.
The bottom line is that you can dream all you like about putting a bullet in Putin’s head and solving everything, but Putin isn’t the reason that the world is abandoning the unipolar ship and moving rapidly toward de-dollarization, and an end to the ‘Pax’ Americana.
You’re living in the last ugly glory days of hegemony for the Empire you call home.
The criminal is still very armed, very rich, and very dangerous, but the jig is up and the billions of people it has routinely exploited for so very long have had enough of its shit.
As the sirens close in on our supervillain hideout, things inside are going to go from bad to very much worse.
