Additionally, most of BRICS are actually more and more against Russia and the only reason they are still in it is because it is not really anything more than a yearly meeting anyway. As long as Russia is part of BRICS, the block is not going to become a significant power at all, since all an alliance with Russia achieves, is political isolation with the rest of the world. I wouldn't be surprised if Russia gets kicked out of BRICS in the not too distant future. Russia has been completely politically isolated from the world and even China is very hesitant to work with Russia nowadays and super angry about this stupid invasion. They were obvious natural allies and Russia basically ruined it and turned itself from an equal power to a Chinese puppet in one move. Putin completely isolated Russia geopolitically and this invasion might have been the biggest geopolitical mistake in the last 78 years, other than maybe the USSR in the 80s and early 90s with the fall of the Soviet Union and the resulting sell out to oligarchs, which turned the USSR from one of the world powers into a minor nation that is easily ignored.
The only geopolitical power Russia has left is nukes and even that has become blatantly clear that it doesn't even matter that much for anything but national defense, since no one is obviously willing to use them, since it is utterly ridiculous to do so, the world would literally be destroyed, which is in no ones interest. Even people as clearly insane as Putin aren't willing to use them, which makes them largely irrelevant on the world stage.
