Because why be on the wrong side of history yet again? China and Russia have been trying to make BRICS a thing for over two decades. The fact that it includes two of the worlds most dominant autocracies dooms it to failure.

SA's alliance with evil practices has a long history. This is just their latest foray into being on the wrong side of history yet again.

That’s a suckers response for defending a partner nation who has invaded its neighbor to steal its lands while it indiscriminately murders, terrorizes and tortures the civilian populace. This ‘war’ is a direct result of Putins imperialistic desires, there’s no diplomatic resolve with a tyrant. Putin was coming for Ukraine regardless of what they did or said. His entire pretext for war was right out of Hitlers playbook with Poland.

The fear inherent in theocracies/autocracies and the predictable tyranny they use to cope with it.

The sad thing about that is that even if it doesn't, your prices are still going up.

Nothing prepares you for the death of your wingmen and the adrenaline of avoiding your own death under fire. There is no accurate way to predict how pilots who have never seen combat will react when their planes start falling from the sky, especially when 'all' your pilots are green. You can game it out all you want, that's just not reality.

Unfortunately for those green pilots, what Chinas provocative drills don't tell them, is that in a live fire exchange, the majority of those planes won't reach their targets and an even greater majority will not return to base. Got to love these 'leaders' who love to play games with their peoples lives to bolster their own fragile egos, eh Pooh Bear?...

Authoritarian governments fear free thought and it's expression. Their actions are dictated by fear above all else. There's nothing more cowardly than an autocrat in power.
