Thank you for a serious answer and not just a downvote.

Unfortunately, you are mostly wrong. It has indeed sparked new developments, but those developments are making the world even more reliant on the US. Europe is now importing American gas instead of Russian one, this is giving the US tons of extra money and power, both of which used to go to Russia. Wagner had to be pulled out of Africa and Syria which means there is nobody there to counter US interests. China is now looking at Siberia rather than Africa.

I will concede that if Russia won in 3 days, then all of the international responses probably wouldn't happen at all. But they didn't, and in the current state every day they stay there is worse for BRICS.
