Oct. 20, 2024 (EIRNS)—Americans may not like hearing it, but what the chairwoman of Russia’s Federation Council Sen. Valentina Matviyenko said is true: “The upcoming U.S. presidential elections will not be the most important event of the year for the world community and will not determine the further course of history…. The BRICS summit will be that event…. The three days of the BRICS summit [Oct. 22-24] and the negotiations of the leaders of the world majority in [Kazan, Russia] the capital of Tatarstan will have a decisive influence on our future,” Matviyenko wrote.
