SCO and BRICS to counterbalance new US hawks

Hardly had Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden been announced the winner of this year's bizarre presidential election in the United States, when USA's European vassals started showing and swearing their loyalty. Washington's shaken world supremacy is once again showing signs of growth, and the West dreams of striking an all-mighty democratic blow on its Eurasian adversaries - Russia and China in the first place. The consolidation of forces within the framework of such international organizations as the SCO and BRICS could become an insurmountable frontier for those aggressive plans.Congratulating Joe Biden and Camila Harris, French President Emmanuel Macron said: "We have a lot to do to meet the challenges of today. We will act together.""I am delighted to work with President Biden in the future," said German Chancellor Angela Merkel. "Our transatlantic friendship is indispensable if our common goal is to overcome the challenges of this time."The op-ed by German Defense Minister and the formal leader of the CDU Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer published in Politico under the eloquent headline "Europe still needs America. No matter who is in the White House, we are in this together" is quite indicative at this point. "There is an overwhelming strategic need for strong transatlantic cooperation, both on our side in Europe, but also, I firmly believe, in Washington," Annegreta Kramp-Karrenbauer wrote. The people around Joe Biden, who will most likely be appointed to key positions in the US presidential administration share "hawkish" attitude and lack sympathy for Russia. They are, for example, Jake Sullivan and Michael Carpenter, who call for new sectoral sanctions against the Russian economy. A possible contender for the post of the Secretary of State, Susan Rice, is willing and able to blame Russia for anything, be it protests in the United States or the deaths of American soldiers in Afghanistan. The list goes on with former Deputy Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who advocated lifting the ban on the supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine and compared Russia to a Potemkin village, as well as former Deputy Defense Minister Michèle Flournoy, a supporter of the policy of Russia's containment to create as many problems for Russia as possible.
