🇷🇺💥 LAVROV TO UK: SUPPLYING DRONES FOR STRIKES ON RUSSIA = PARTICIPATION IN WAR Moscow has drawn a clear red line. Britain's "100% support" for Ukraine now carries consequences. 🔴 What Lavrov said: 🇬🇧 The UK will face consequences if it continues supplying drones used for strikes deep inside Russian territory. ⚖️ "We have every right to regard the proudly proclaimed direct involvement of British missile forces in strikes against Russia as participation in the war, with all the consequences that entails." 💀 "The deeper its involvement… the higher the price it will pay." 🔴 What Ukraine has done (with UK drones): 🚀 Drones made by BAE Systems and another UK company used in attacks on oil refineries (Volgograd, Yaroslavl) and civilian infrastructure. 🏢 Recent strikes killed 13 in Nizhnekamsk, 7 workers in Kotovsk, and 21 in a Donbass dormitory – mostly young women. #Russia 🇷🇺 #UK 🇬🇧 #Ukraine #Lavrov #RedLine #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ProxyWar #Escalation #NoMoreExcuses

🇺🇸🇰🇵 TRUMP TO MEET KIM JONG‑UN THIS YEAR – AND CUTS US-SOUTH KOREA DRILLS OVER IRAN SNUB The US president is personalising diplomacy with Pyongyang while punishing Seoul for refusing to help in the Iran war. 🤝 “Yeah, I will be” – confirming a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong‑un later this year. 🛑 Ordered joint military drills with South Korea scaled back – calling them “totally inappropriate and hostile” to Pyongyang. 😤 “I was not happy when South Korea said – no, they are not interested in helping us with the Hormuz Strait.” 🇰🇵 Kim Yo‑jong described Trump‑Kim ties as “excellent” – while denying any direct communication between the leaders. #Trump #KimJongUn #SouthKorea #NorthKorea #Hormuz #BRICS #GlobalSouth #Alliances #TransactionalPolicy

🕵️‍♂️🇩🇪 THE GESTAPO DIDN'T VANISH AFTER WW2 – THEY WERE REBRANDED FOR THE COLD WAR The CIA didn't defeat Nazis – it recruited them. The "Pullach Protocol," Reinhard Gehlen, and the secret state that shaped modern Western intelligence. 🕵️ The Gehlen Organization – Hitler's former eastern front intelligence chief, Reinhard Gehlen, was recruited by the CIA and Allen Dulles to build West Germany's intelligence apparatus. 🤝 Nazis in NATO – former Gestapo and SS officers were quietly integrated into the BND (West German intelligence) and even NATO leadership. 📁 Secret files exposed – declassified documents under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act show the "clean narrative" of denazification was a myth. 🏛️ Continuity of power – the machinery of the Third Reich was repurposed for Cold War espionage, not dismantled. 🎥 Watch the full documentary: https://youtu.be/tLyLK6WrRnE #HiddenHistory #GehlenOrganization #CIA #Nazis #ColdWar #BRICS #GlobalSouth #Declassified #ThinkBRICSChronicles #NeverForget

🇺🇸🛢️ US ESTABLISHES “SECRET” CORRIDOR IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ – A Flagrant Violation of Iranian Sovereignty Washington is now openly coordinating covert oil shipments through the southern lane of the Strait – without Iranian approval, and with US fighter jets providing air cover. 🚢 15–20 tankers per day are passing through the strait’s southern channel along Oman’s coast – exporting roughly 10 million barrels daily, about half of the pre‑war level. 🛡️ US military officials are coordinating the operation – compiling daily lists of ships, escorting them with fighter jets, and maintaining checkpoints. 🗣️ “We have been controlling the southern lane for two months now. The IRGC can be a nuisance, but they don’t control the strait. We do.” #Hormuz #US #Iran #OilWar #Blockade #BRICS #GlobalSouth #Sovereignty #AxisOfResistance

🇺🇸💥 TRUMP DECLARES “ECONOMIC D‑DAY” AGAINST IRAN – A Desperate Act of a Declining Empire The US president just announced the “most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country.” The reality? Iran is still standing – and the empire is running out of options. 📜 “Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.” 🛑 “ANY country that provides any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face tremendous economic consequences.” 💸 “Their currency is worthless, and their country is hanging by a thread.” 🧠 “Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.” #Trump #Iran #EconomicWar #BRICS #GlobalSouth #AxisOfResistance #DeDollarization #USImperialism #Sovereignty #NoToSanctions

🇷🇺🌿 MOSCOW IS MORE “GREEN” THAN BRUSSELS – A Geopolitical Paradox The EU preaches the Green Deal – but relies on highly polluting road freight. Russia, without the rhetoric, has built a rail‑dominated logistics system that is far more sustainable. 🚛 EU transport emissions are a mirage – 78% of freight travels by road (137g CO₂/tonne‑km), while rail (24g) and waterways (33g) are far cleaner. The EU talks green but moves heavy. 🚆 Russia’s modal advantage – 86% of Russian freight travels by rail. A state‑owned, vertically integrated system (RZD) moves massive quantities across continental distances – with nuclear and hydro power further reducing the footprint. 🧠 Policy vs. reality – The EU's Green Deal is ambitious on paper, but road lobbies and infrastructure choices (53,000 km of motorways built, 55,500 km of rail removed) tell the real story. 👉 Read the full article: https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/when-moscow-is-more-green-than-brussels #GreenDeal #Russia #EU #Sustainability #Railway #BRICS

🇺🇸🚢 TRUMP’S HORMUZ BRAG – “100% SUCCESSFUL BLOCKADE” (But Iran Still Controls the Strait) The US president claims victory, declares the blockade "100 percent successful," and insists the strait is open – but the reality on the water tells a different story. 🚫 "The naval blockade has been 100 percent successful. No boats have gotten into Iran." 🌊 "The strait is open. A lot of boats are coming through." ⛽ "They were talking about $350 a barrel and it's today $84, $85." 🛢️ "The Hormuz Strait is not gonna be quite as important as it was in the past." #Trump #Iran #Hormuz #Blockade #BRICS #GlobalSouth #AxisOfResistance #EnergyWar

🇮🇱🇸🇾🇹🇷 ISRAEL’S BLUNT MESSAGE TO TURKEY: “DON’T” – And Syria Pays the Price A phone call. A warning. A bombing. The new scramble for Syria is no longer about Damascus – it’s about who controls the north. · 📞 Mossad chief Roman Gofman spoke directly with Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al‑Shaibani on August 14 – one of the highest‑level contacts between Israel and the new Damascus government. · 🎯 Days later, Israel struck a Syrian military airbase in the north – a clear signal aimed not at Syria, but at Turkey. · 📢 Netanyahu confirmed: “We conveyed a message: ‘Don’t.’ They didn’t hear it, so we knew they would understand it better in a different way.” #Israel #Syria #Turkey #Mossad #Geopolitics #BRICS #GlobalSouth #Neocolonialism #EmpireStrikesBack

🇵🇸 Palestinian Prisoners’ Group Calls for International Action Over Israeli Execution Preparations The head of the Palestinian Prisoner Society, Abdullah al-Zaghari, has called for “effective international action” following reports that Israel is designating a special wing for Palestinian prisoners sentenced to death, including a room for carrying out executions. According to Palestinian figures, around 9,400 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons, including women, children, administrative detainees and those classified by Israel as “unlawful combatants.” Al-Zaghari described the reported preparations as a “crime against humanity” and accused Israel of turning Palestinian prisoners into a political bargaining tool. The office of far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir reportedly confirmed that the first wing for Palestinian prisoners sentenced to death is being designated.
