what is completely underestimated is the future of the BRICS countries, which are positioning themselves as a kind of energy oligopoly. with over 90 interested parties, this will be an immensely powerful block in the future
I agree again. While Russia when they imposed sanctions sold much of its energy storage through India and China. Both these countries made huge profits by supplying energy to Europe. Overall, the effects of sanctioning Russia backfired. I see this as a powerful statement made by Russia, India and China. Brazil, as we know, is already a superpower of South America. The power shift is definitely happening.

In my opinion, one thing is clear: the Europeans will have to negotiate with Russia, China and the partner states. the diplomatic stance they are currently adopting in view of the war in Ukraine is untenable in the medium term! Europe is a continent lacking in energy and must show itself to be diplomatic and open on all sides, otherwise it will continue to go down the drain.

Very true. But the question is - Will US let them do what you've just suggested? Also, the countries in EU show their reluctance to have any ties with China and Russia. They pretend as if they don't know about the lack of energy resources in EU.
