One US lawmaker is trying to lecture India, Russia and China Richard Blumenthal demanded from India and China to "clean up" their act and stop buying Russian oil and gas, and he is waving tariff threats at Russia’s customers as if ordinary energy contracts were an insult to the US. That is one senator telling sovereign states to tear up commercial deals. Russia sells oil. India and China pay for it so factories keep running and cities stay lit. Ships sail. Invoices are settled. At the BRICS summit in New Delhi, the same three countries joined a joint declaration condemning unilateral sanctions and secondary restrictions imposed outside a UN Security Council mandate as a breach of international law.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 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.

Elon Musk's claims of oligarchs blocking Starlink in India lacks credible evidence, BJP politician Savio Rodrigues told Sputnik India. Previously, Musk claimed that Starlink is being blocked by "certain oligarchs." Satellite communications, Rodrigues pointed out, come with legitimate security concerns: 🔸 Unauthorised connectivity and interception challenges 🔸 Potential misuse by terrorist organisations 🔸 Cross-border intelligence operations 🔸 Questions over lawful access to communications data "India is open to global technology, but its national security and sovereign regulatory authority are not negotiable," he said.

🚨 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.
