      I don't see neoliberalism wining in any war situation due to how it predates on its own productive capabilities by massive rent extraction on its own productive forces at home in very real terms a long term war with a near peer rival stresses the neoliberal structure in ways never done before its purely theoretical what happens long term, industry state captlism has been tested in this way before and it did quite well.

      The ties the Russians have to countries like India and Brazil as well as the dozens of other countries in the middle east, Africa and South America. America is trying to entice global south countries to shift their economies away from Russia because they’re fucking them less than the Americans are.

      There's basically only 4 non-Western countries (Japan, South Korea, Georgia, Turkey) that aren't friendly with Russia. Westerners really think the world revolves around them. Just because they don't like Russia doesn't mean the rest of the world shares their opinion.

          I can't speak for Indonesia (although a glance at the Wikipedia article on Indonesia-Russia relations seems to suggest at least cordial relations), but India and Brazil are at least extremely friendly with Russia. Like, they're all part of BRICS, so there's absolutely nothing to gain from India and Brazil being hostile to Russia. India in particular has a long history of cooperation with Russia dating back to the 1960s when the Soviet Union supported India during its wars with China and Pakistan. They didn't even bother to condemn Russian invasion in the UN. And for Brazil, the most anti-Russian thing they did was condemn them in the UN, but actual relations, under both Bolsonaro and Lula, have been positive.

          And as for Chile, I forgot about Boric being a bootlicking stooge for the US.
