Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Turkey also wants to join. It’s kind of amazing that these two crucial cold war allies of the USA are doing this.

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

Turkey plays both sides, and I’m not sure how long China and Russia can keep up placating a NATO member

Everybody can see which way the wind is blowing now, and it becomes a self reinforcing process.

Westoids shocked that people with a pulse can see the writing on the wall

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 33 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (5 children)

We need a better name for BRICS at this point if everyone is going to join

Something like Multipolar Economic Gregariousness Association or MEGA

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 19 points 5 months ago

I think Lula da Silva and Vladimir Putin have been calling it BRICS+ which is not really an improvement.

trump-moist

Can we get that to fit on a hat?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes

If we make the hat very large

[–] D61@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

This makes me smile so much because I was hoping somebody would do it.

Western allies and friends

The West is never your "friend".

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

If your country isn't literally Israel the West will sell you out. Hell, they might even do it more than once if you happen to be Kurdish.

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 28 points 5 months ago

why the fuck wouldnt they thailand is right fucking there

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 16 points 5 months ago
[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 5 months ago

Thailand would rather trade with their close neighbours instead of tanking their economy to keep the west afloat for another 6 months?

I'm shocked, how could they make such a foolish decision?!
