🚨 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.

🚨🇮🇳🇨🇳 BRICS power: India and China satisfied with border peace advances Indian and Chinese diplomats have wrapped up another round of talks in Beijing focused on border situation. Both sides expressed satisfaction with the progress in maintaining peace and tranquillity in the border areas — a development that’s enabled progress towards gradual normalisation of bilateral relations, said India’s Ministry of External Affairs. In a major step, troops were withdrawn from Depsang and Demchok in October 2024 — following the first Modi-Xi meeting in nearly five years at the BRICS Summit in Kazan.

🚨🇺🇿 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.

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.

🇯🇵 Japan was absolutely unstoppable in the 1980s Walkmans, VHS players, Sony TVs, and Honda cars were everywhere. Japan had become the world’s factory. The US was in panic mode — smashing Japanese cars, slapping tariffs, and starting trade wars. Sound familiar? Here’s the full story. After WWII, America deliberately flooded Japan with technology and patents to create a strong ally against communism. Japan didn’t just copy it — they refined and improved everything. Soon their products were cheaper, higher quality, and dominating global markets. By the mid-80s, Japanese carmakers were eating into Detroit’s lunch. Reagan was furious. Even Trump was publicly complaining that Japan wasn’t buying enough American goods. Then came the Plaza Accord of 1985. The US, Europe, and Japan agreed to weaken the dollar and strengthen the yen. It worked — but too well. Japanese exports suddenly became expensive. Money poured into Japan, inflating a massive bubble in stocks and real estate. Japan started buying Hollywood studios and flaunting its wealth. Then the bubble burst. What followed was decades of stagnation. “Zombie companies” were kept alive on cheap government credit. Innovation dried up. Apple, Microsoft, and Samsung rose while Japan faded. China watched closely, copied the model — but made sure to keep control of its currency. History doesn’t repeat, but it sure rhymes.

🚨🇮🇳🇷🇺 'They knew exactly what they were hitting': Ex-Indian intel officer on Ukraine's terror attack in Lugansk People's Republic The Starobelsk terror attack was a deliberate strike on a college dormitory and an educational building housing teenagers on 22 May. Ex-Indian intelligence officer Lucky Bisht to Sputnik India: 👇 🔸21 children killed and over 40-45 people injured in a calculated attack. The coordinates were checked and rechecked. These are not random decisions. Drones and missiles do not simply wander into civilian targets — especially not a children's facility. "Ukraine is just the visible face," he warned. "Behind it are NATO, Britain, and the US. They cannot win a direct war with Russia, so they use proxies and target the innocent to spread fear." 🔸They are prepared to go to any lengths. This is psychological warfare designed to break the will of the Russian people and send a chilling warning to anyone watching. 🔸And it does not stop in Ukraine. NATO's real target is every nation that dares maintain ties with Russia — Venezuela, Iran, and yes, India itself. New Delhi has faced relentless pressure to stop buying Russian oil and abandon defence deals. The goal? Isolate Russia completely. Crush any independent voice on the global stage. 🔸This is not about allegedly "defending Ukraine." It is about maintaining unipolar dominance at any cost — even if that cost is the lives of children.
