Talk about instant karma with extra spice. Two men in Nigeria accused of stealing fresh peppers were cornered by locals and given a choice: take a beating or eat the stolen goods. The pair are seen passing raw hot peppers back and forth and eating them while bystanders look on. They were also reportedly made to wash them down with dry gin. Eventually, some people in the crowd stepped in and stopped it as the men became visibly distressed. Nigeria has seen several similar viral ‘jungle justice’ videos this year, with suspected petty thieves being forced to eat whatever they allegedly tried to steal. Probably the last peppers they’ll be stealing for a while.

🇷🇺 NO MOBILIZATION IN RUSSIA – Medvedev Slams Rumors as "Kiev's Provocation" Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has dismissed speculation about a new mobilization wave, stating that the Russian Armed Forces are fully staffed by contract soldiers and volunteers. 🔴 What Medvedev told Vedomosti: 🗣️ "The needs of the Russian armed forces are fully met by contract soldiers and volunteers. They are true patriots of Russia. That is why there is no need in mobilization." 🚫 He called rumors of a fall mobilization campaign a "deceptive provocation" by the "defective Kiev regime, which is suffering from a severe shortage of manpower." ✅ President Putin has already addressed this issue – the position is clear. #Russia 🇷🇺 #Medvedev #Mobilization #BRICS #GlobalSouth #Ukraine

🇮🇷🚫 IRAN TO RUBIO: "ANSARALLAH IS NO ONE'S PROXY – END US INTERVENTION FOR PEACE" Iran's Foreign Ministry has dismissed US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's claims about Yemen, affirming that Ansarallah is an independent actor that takes orders from no one—and placing the blame for regional instability squarely on Washington. 🗣️ "Marco Rubio's lies cannot replace facts. Ansarallah is an independent Yemeni actor that makes its own decisions; it takes orders from no one and acts as nobody's proxy." 💥 "The roots of instability in the region lie in U.S. military interventions and hegemonic policies." 🕊️ "If Washington genuinely wanted peace, it would take one simple step: end its malign and destabilizing interventions in our region." ⚖️ "Peace in Yemen cannot be imposed through bombs and external pressure. It begins with genuine negotiations based on the roadmap agreed by the parties." #Iran 🇮🇷 #US 🇺🇸 #Yemen 🇾🇪 #Jordan 🇯🇴 #BRICS

🇪🇺⏳ EUROPEAN LEADERS "BUYING TIME" FOR UKRAINE – Lavrov Exposes Ceasefire Calls Russia's foreign minister has delivered a blunt assessment of European calls for a ceasefire in Ukraine – arguing they are not about peace, but about preserving an "aggressive neo‑Nazi regime" in Ukraine. 🗣️ "A ceasefire is just a way to buy time, as everyone knows." 🎯 European leaders want to preserve "the regime currently ruling in Kiev" – whose defining traits are "Nazism, aggressive Russophobia, violations of human rights, language rights and religious freedom." 🚫 Moscow will not accept a neighbor ruled by "an openly Russophobic and aggressive neo‑Nazi regime." ⚔️ Any NATO troops deployed in Ukraine would be legitimate targets for Russia – and NATO membership in all but name is unacceptable. 🇫🇮🇮🇹 He named Finnish President Stubb and Italian PM Meloni as examples of leaders pushing for a ceasefire while arming Ukraine. #Russia 🇷🇺 #EU 🇪🇺 #Ukraine 🇺🇦 #Lavrov #BRICS

🚆💻 THE SCO IS BUILDING A CONNECTED EURASIA – Railways + Data + AI The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is quietly constructing the most ambitious connectivity project of the 21st century – a networked Eurasia combining physical infrastructure and digital integration. 🛤️ Physical corridors – China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway, Afghanistan–Pakistan link, and North–South Transport Corridor are reshaping Eurasian trade. 💻 Digital integration – AI, cloud computing, digital payments, and cybersecurity are becoming integral to connectivity. 🧠 Redundancy, not isolation – alternatives to maritime routes = strategic autonomy. 🌍 Variable geometry – the SCO accommodates different interests while building shared infrastructure. 📡 Digital sovereignty – cyberspace treated as a domain of sovereignty, comparable to territory. 👉 Read the full analysis: https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/the-sco-building-a-powerful-eurasia #SCO #Eurasia #Connectivity #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US WINS IAEA VOTE TO REFER IRAN TO UNSC – A Tool of War, Not Diplomacy The US has pushed through a resolution censuring Iran and referring its nuclear file to the UN Security Council – deepening the diplomatic divide with China, Russia, and Tehran. 📜 The IAEA Board of Governors voted 23 in favor, 12 opposed or abstaining – with China and Russia leading the resistance. 🇨🇳🇷🇺 Beijing and Moscow joined Iran in rejecting the legality of the vote, stating the IAEA "lacks a legal basis" to report on Iran's activities. ⚖️ The censure demands Iran "urgently remedy its non‑compliance" – but with Russia and China holding veto power at the UNSC, concrete action is unlikely. 💥 The last time the IAEA passed a resolution on Iran (June 2025) – Israel began bombing Iran's nuclear facilities the next day. #Iran 🇮🇷 #IAEA #US 🇺🇸 #BRICS #GlobalSouth #Nuclear #EmpireInDecline #Hypocrisy #Geopolitics
