IDK what kind of international geopolitical paint you'd have to be huffing, but in any case, supporting Russia is stupid. And that's coming from a Russian.

How do you square that opinion with the fact that much of the world does support Russia? Are they all stupid, or are you perhaps missing something?

Whom, exactly? AFAIK, only Iran, North Korea, and Eritrea, are actively support Russia. Oh, and Belarus, if you count it as an independent country. Hardly anything substantial.

I wouldn't call them supporters. Neither has sent any weapons or any aid, troops or volunteers, or provided any financial support. And all but condemned Russian invasion. And while yes, BRICS hasn't implemented any sanctions on Russia, neither did Israel and Turkey. You wouldn't call them Russia's supporters, would you?

Not really, it is on most of the world interest to support Russia.
