"We expect our friends to act to overthrow the terror regime of Hamas and not the elected government in Israel. Israeli citizens, and not anyone else, elect the prime minister. Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government."The statement followed the annual "threat assessment" compiled by US intelligence agencies, which was released on Monday and questioned Netanyahu's hold on power.
We must provide a platform for the countries interested in rapprochement with the BRICS, where they will be able to work practically without feeling left behind and joining this cooperation rhythm. And as to how the further expansion will be decided upon - this should be postponed at least until the leaders convene in Kazan to decide.The key decision on BRICS+ expansion will only come out of the Kazan summit next October.

This means that "as a 'ten,' we work at least as efficiently, or, rather, more efficiently than we did within the initial 'five.'"
Last year, it took an entire year to develop the admission, expansion criteria at the level of top officials. Many reasonable things were developed. And many of the things that were formulated back then got reflected in the list of countries that joined. But it would probably be improper to formalize the requirements.

Nemesis, in Greek mythology, was the goddess of divine retribution and revenge. She was revered and feared as a deity who delivered justice, especially against those guilty of hubris, the sin of excessive pride or arrogance before the gods.This idea of Hubris and Nemesis is also reflected in the Chinese concept of the Mandate of Heaven, with the idea that if rulers failed to look after their people, then Heaven would withdraw the divine mandate to rule. Pierre Lescaudron wrote about this in his book: Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection
