      That’s a rich ask. There will always be anti-Russia sentiment in Baltic countries due to occupation and deportations to Siberia.

        Then asking for BRICS membership is a richer ask. China is economic powerhouse, Russia is military powerhouse and India is diplomatic powerhouse. BRICS has 3 main pillars, none of which someone asking for a membership can casually hate. Latvia has a better chance with NATO.

          I’m not sure what you are talking about. They are literally not asking to join BRICS. And Latvia is part of NATO.

          Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Argentina, Ethiopia are joining BRICS and Europe wants have diplomatic relations with them like everyone else and Latvia’s PM said that other countries that doesn’t have colonial past should lead the conversation (and then he used France’s colonial past as an example) .

            All the countries you mention either overcame or have no hatred for the pillar countries I mentioned. Latvia is very much a part of NATO’s colonisation strategies against Russia today. Saudi sided with China, seeing USA has no economic future and stability.
