‘Dialogue Works’ edition of 22 October: BRICS and the Conflicts in Ukraine and Middle East
This morning’s BBC World News featured an interview with a university professor in the U.K. who acknowledged that the about to open BRICS Summit in Kazan is a very important event indeed given the large number of global leaders in attendance. Other Western media were attentive to the event and exercised something resembling responsible journalism instead of the usual anti-Russian propaganda.
Not the White House spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre who was completely dismissive, seeing nothing in the Kazan gathering worthy of comment.
In light of this special position on the subject taken by official America, I would not be at all surprised if either Israel or Ukraine, both client states of the USA should, in the words of ‘Dialogue Works’ host Nima Alkhorshid “do something stupid.” Indeed, if Israel finally stages its long-delayed reprisal strike on Iran in the coming two days that would fit nicely into my assertion that Israel is the tail that the dog (Washington) waves. We shall see soon.
The question of what BRICS represents in today’s world was central to today’s chat.
