He can stay in his sinking shithole .

[-] DevOops@lemmy.eco.br 26 points 1 month ago

Hey Putin, COME TO BRAZIL!

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

You just need his plane to make an “emergency landing” while on the way to somewhere else.

You would probably just nab a body double though. I doubt he leaves the country anymore ( except maybe for China ).

[-] cybermass@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 month ago

Brasil would have arrested him? Aren't they in BRICS?

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 month ago

As I feel the need to say every time it's mentioned, BRICS is made-up nonsense fabricated by Goldman Sachs to sell third-rate equities. Think about the relationship between the countries of "BRICS" and ask yourself if that sounds like an actual alliance.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 24 points 1 month ago

It has become a diplomatic talking shop similar to the G7. There has been pushes from some member states to make it more, including creating alternate financial systems, but it has been slow growing.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Russia got all pissy with Kazakhstan just this week as a result of them not joining the BRICS

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

Nothing like fomenting trust in a global financial transaction system by threatening potential user nations.

Turtalous growth because of the so many differences in political, economical, ideological between the participating countries which results in shitload of epic proportions

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

People care about the G7 because they have power and they sometimes agree on important things.

Neither of those are true of the “BRICS”.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 month ago

China, India, and Brazil are all large countries with large economies, but I agree they don't have a lot to agree on.

[-] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

This is intreresting. What is the connection between GS and BRICs? How does it help them sell equities?

[-] eskimofry@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

GS diversifying and playing both sides? Just a hunch. G7 has the west.. whereas one could argue that the BRICS might evolve into an eastern bloc.

[-] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Sorry to say but “BRICS” is far from “made up nonsense” here in Brazil. There’s plenty of export and some industries that got a boost thanks to it, it’s a very real economic block. I don’t know why you would think that it is not real, especially now that we are setting up a payment system to avoid the dollar usage.

Oh really? Let's take China, the biggest economy in "BRICS". Here is the history of Brazil's trade to China. It has of course grown (probably mostly soybeans). You might think that growth is thanks to BRICS.

But wait, what's this? Canada's trade with China has grown even more? Is it now BRICCS?

I don’t know why you would think that it is not real, especially now that we are setting up a payment system to avoid the dollar usage.

This is nowhere near implementation. Putin proposing something doesn't immediately make it real. It also assumes great stupidity on the part of China and India to tether themselves economically to the sinking ship that is Russia. India in particular is exploiting Russian economic weakness at every opportunity.

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Doesn't seem that way when Lula proposes Putin's peace plan that only BRICS countries think is fair.

[-] deus@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

That doesn't mean much. Iran and Saudi Arabia also are in it and they hate each other.

[-] abysmalpoptart@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I thought it was India and South Africa, not Iran and Saudi Arabia

[-] deus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It was, indeed. The group has grown a lot since then but the original name has stuck.

[-] abysmalpoptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, wasn't aware, thanks!

[-] Dainterhawk999@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

A lot more countries are being invitied to be a member of the intra fighting group known as BRICS.

Putin bruh is forcing other countries by implementing sanctions in ways such as by not accepting bananas and apples... 🍌🍌🍌🍎🍎🍎

[-] abysmalpoptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That's interesting, guess i wasn't tracking that closely enough. Thank you!

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

TFW you realize countries outside NATO also have rule of law.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 5 points 1 month ago

Yes and yes. What's confusing you here?

[-] McDropout@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

ICC rules only apply to Russia but not to Israel 🤡

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Because America doesn't have principles it has investments and owners.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

If you drop the because, I agree.

America is not a signatory to the ICC ( wonder why ). They are not the reason that Putin was charged or why Brazil would arrest him.

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

They came out against the ridiculousness of havimg a warrant for Netanyahu.

[-] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago

Awesome. Looking forward to the day when Netanyahu and Gallant also get the treatment. Come on ICC, put out the warrants!

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

They are unlikely to. Putin was charged with abducting children, not just killing people. And his invasion was unprovoked. And…..politics.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Maybe Biden can invite him to come talk in the states like he did with his good friend Netanyahu.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago

I'm curious how this makes sense to you.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Both have ICC warrants out for them for crimes against humanity. Only one spoke to congress, why not invite the other?

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I didn't think Bibi actually had a warrant. I know they filled for one but I never saw it was issued. I can't find anything saying that it was issued or when.

Here's one form a month ago asking whether they would issue a warrant or not.

[-] AAA@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

You are correct. The ICC warrant for Netanyahu needs yet to be approved by an ICC judge. For now it's only a warrant request.

[-] donuts@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

US has a history of not caring what the ICC thinks though. Remember the Hague Invasion Act?

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I assume that is their point.

[-] FatherGascown@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Fucker should just die alone in a hole.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

You mean like that

[-] mindaika@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Same reason I didn’t go too

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

The ICC sent pooty poot to his room.

Kudos to Brazil to having balls, unlike Mongolia, and this despite being part of BRICS (unlike Mongolia which isn't).

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz -1 points 1 month ago

Why is he so scared of Brazil?

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Have you not seen the videos that come out of there?
