India is selling classic weapons to Russia. They are buying Reaper drones from America (likely to bomb Kashmir with)

The interesting part here is the price. India is making the 4Billion they spent on American weapons back by selling weapons to Russia.

As India is in BRICS they might not be the most effective counter to China.

BRICS is a meme. It was a term a Goldman Sachs researcher used to describe developing economies that are worth investing in.

Brazil is a basket case, S Africa is basically a failed state, India and China are rivals, and Russia is eviscerating itself in Ukraine and turning into China’s Canada.

They’re selling weapons to Russia though and not small amounts.

BRICS also has many smaller countries that are under our sanctions and do not have other trading partners. Giving BRICS a cheaper supply to resources.

BRICS is not a tight block like NATO or the EU. India and China, for example, actively skirmish over their border.

BRICS isn’t an actual alliance. It’s an economic forum to try and counter “first world” domination. India and China have regular border skirmishes in Kashmir why they maul each other to death with clubs.

Create post

Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain “hmmm” and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to “hmmmm” etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won’t be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.
