Who is losing friends and gaining enemies? The USA of
course. Even some EU/NATO members are going over to the other side,
joining BRICS, which clearly shows their affinity of siding with Russia,
without saying the obvious. (Turkey just join BRICS as a partner. 4 of Asean's biggest economies, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia are also partners of BRICS).
And what about the Middle East
conflict, that is changing the minds of Arabs and Muslims. As far as I
can see, only Jordan is the odd one out that is still sleeping cozily
with the USA and Israel. Are the rest of the Middle East not friends of
the Russians. (The big meeting in Kazan says it all, Putin and Russia have a lot of friends. Many heads of states were present).
What about ASEAN? Who are really friends of the
USA? Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia have all indicated their
stance by following China, which ostensibly means also friends of
Russia. Only Vietnam and Indonesia are neutral, while two black sheep
are mixing among the herd. (And Indonesia and Vietnam have signed on the dotted line to be partners of BRICS).

PS. I have added a few sentences on the recent developments in Kazan. These are in brackets.
