    South China Morning Post: Vladimir Putin has already won, whether you like it or not


    The West’s proxy war is floundering while its moral case against Russia has self-destructed over its full complicity in Israel’s actions.

    According to the Chinese publication, severe US sanctions against Russia could not crash its economy as they did to Cuba and Venezuela.


    The country’s rapid economic restructuring and rebound have been extraordinary, though few Western politicians or pundits would admit it. They convinced themselves that Russia had feet of clay, and that the Putin regime would collapse. Quite the reverse has happened.


    It is emphasised that other countries have seen how Washington and Brussels have weaponised the global financial sector, trade and the Internet against Russia. They fear they may one day end up on the receiving end of the same treatment.


    The BRICS summit may not have yet heralded a new global order and financial system … but it’s clear he doesn’t lack friends around the world who share those same goals.
