Nations Taking Russia’s side are no longer poor as in Cold War 1.0.
These dissenting countries of the Global South are no longer as poor as they were
during the Cold War. Of the top 10 countries in PPP-GDP, 5 do not support the
sanctions. And these include China (number one) and India (number 3). So the
first and third most powerful economies stand against the US on this matter.
(Russia is number 6 on that list about equal to Germany, number 5, the two
being close to equal, belying the idea that Russia’s economy is negligible.)
