The group of five major emerging national economies known as the BRICS has rejected the Western sanctions against Russia and the “hostile language” being directed at the country over the crisis in Ukraine.

“The escalation of hostile language, sanctions and counter-sanctions, and force does not contribute to a sustainable and peaceful solution, according to international law, including the principles and purposes of the United Nations Charter,” foreign ministers of the BRICS countries - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - said in a statement issued on Monday.

Wait!

I thought Fwee Twade and Constructive Engagement was supposed to Moderate Their Behavior.

What? You say now that they just regard it as weakness, and Interdependency to them means “we gotcha by the balls, paleface!”?

Oh The Horror.

I’m Just Shocked.

Too bad we gave them 50% of our economy and went into trillions of dollars of debt to them just to find out they think we’re laughable saps.

“LOL, good going, Barack.”

To be fair, both repukes and demonrats are bitches of China.

That being said, Mr. Putin, stay behind the Bric Wall.
