I think Turkey might be forced to pick a side because the west traditionally can't cope with countries being neutral. I expect Turkey will end up in BRICS in the end however.
Meanwhile, the US can try to step it down, but the reality is that the AFU is already collapsing with the current level of support. The US is basically the only country that's actually capable of providing any meaningful support as well. If that starts drying up then the collapse will accelerate. Even with the current level of support, the real issue as even western media now admits is manpower. It doesn't matter how many weapons make it to Ukraine if there's nobody left to use them.
It's very important to understand that Russia is fighting a war of attrition. The goal is to grind down the AFU until it implodes. There is nothing the west can do to stop that short of NATO putting boots on the ground. I can't really see that happening.
We have grazed the lathe; wasn't fully right. Should have expected Zionazis on the bingo.
I’d like to believe that, but I don’t know enough to have an opinion on where they will land.
My expectation is that the US will keep putting pressure on Turkey and they're going to realize that either they bend the knee or they have to leave western orbit. The recent regime change attempt is likely what spurred Turkey to start considering BRICS as an alternative. It's also worth noting that the economy in Turkey is not doing so hot, and BRICS has far more to offer than the west in that regard.
