    I also want to note they seem to be using this victory day event to have a summit of some kind. Inviting the US and China specifically to have a talk. If thats the case it does kind of make sense to have the US’s rabid dog in attendance too.

    If i had to guess this victory day thing is an attempt from the Russians/Chinese/other cooler heads to try and avert the incoming WW3 and reason with Israel, and the US a bit. Try and get them to chill the fuck out. I dont think it will work, but cant really blame them for trying to avoid a world war.

      You bring up a great point. Russia has invited the BRIC members of BRICS alongside Eastern Europe and Israel. It would make sense for them to talk.

      Brazil has scheduled the next BRICS summit for July 2025, which is bad timing. What can you do in only half a year? Pepe Escobar says their excuse is that they need to prepare for COP 30, but it is more likely that Brazil’s pro-West capitalist faction still dislikes the BRICS and forced Lula’s hand. [1]

      Faced with such Brazilian unreliability, it sure would make sense to meet up somewhere earlier. Victory Day is on May 9, which is perfect for pre-planning, especially if BRICS needs to accelerate some projects to have stuff to present in July.
