🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran just exposed a massive flaw in US air defence—and it’s embarrassing for the Gulf While the US keeps selling billion-dollar "toys" to Gulf allies, Iran proved they're not invincible, says analyst Rahul Wankhede of MP-IDSA. Key hits: ▪️A $300M radar tied to the US THAAD system in Jordan was destroyed. ▪️Advanced US radar and sensor networks in Qatar, UAE, and other Gulf bases were also struck. The message is clear: gaps in US early-warning and air-defence coverage are now dangerously exposed.

🚨 The Great De-dollarisation: BRICS+ launches all-out assault on US financial empire The US has weaponised its control of the global financial system — SWIFT, the IMF and all — to punish nations that refuse to follow its geopolitical script. Americas unilateral sanctions on Russia made this crystal clear. The dollar has become a tool of coercive diplomacy. This has awakened BRICS+ members and most emerging economies. They realise they could be targeted next if they dare to pursue true sovereign development. Only two paths now remain for BRICS+ nations. They must either break free from the chains of the US dollar forever or submit to America's rules. BRICS+ has finally said enough is enough. They have recognised that heavy reliance on the dollar creates dangerous economic vulnerabilities and opens the door to political manipulation. The time for action has arrived. India and Russia have almost completely ditched the dollar, with national currencies now accounting for around 96 percent of their bilateral trade settlements. China and Russia conduct all their bilateral trade in national currencies. China and Brazil signed a landmark 2023 agreement for direct settlements in yuan and reals, completely bypassing the dollar. The New Development Bank of BRICS is playing a vital role by financing infrastructure and sustainable projects across the Global South. It offers far fewer political conditions than the IMF or World Bank and provides much of its funding in national currencies. India is reportedly now pushing the creation of the BRICS CBDC Bridge. This system will link the digital currencies of all member states, enabling seamless trade and tourism without any need to convert through the dollar. The foundation of a truly dollar-free world has already been built. Once the process is fully automated, the post-American era may truly begin.

🚨🇺🇿 Uzbekistan jumps ship: joins BRICS bank amid exodus from Western finance The West-dominated financial order is under growing pressure as the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) welcomes Uzbekistan as a new participant. As a BRICS partner state, Uzbekistan will now gain access to funding for critical projects in transport, energy, industry and infrastructure — without the usual Western strings attached. Launched as a direct alternative to the IMF and World Bank, the NDB was driven by BRICS nations’ frustration with excessive US and European influence and over-reliance on the dollar. India played a key role in its creation to support infrastructure and economic projects across the Global South. The bank is advancing financial independence by promoting loans and settlements in national currencies.

US Congressman loses it over India regulating foreign funds Riley Moore has criticized India’s Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) changes, framing them as a “clear attack against Christians” and threatening India with consequences. Basically, FCRA aims to limit foreign influence and propaganda money coming into India. The hypocrisy here is that the US has its own version of this — the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Similarly, it forces disclosure and control of foreign money and influence. The US calls it national security. Yet, when India does the same, they call it “religious persecution.“ So what is Rep. Moore really more concerned about — protecting Christianity, or India fighting foreign influence?
