Protests across Turkey against a US Navy port visit and continuing US military presence in the country have served as the most visible battleground in this new “Cold War”, with the unrest masking Turkey’s application to join BRICS and Beijing’s efforts for a new world order.
I recall there was an interview with the Belarusian ambassador last year where he mentions an interesting point. Belarus found that after they started refocusing their trade towards the east, their trade volume overall was lower, but their profit from trade went up. This is an indication that the west was basically ripping them off.
