🇮🇳 INDIA'S BRICS ENVIRONMENT MINISTERS' MEETING – Under the Radar, a Massive Energy Trap Is Being Set 🌍⚡ Today, India is hosting the 12th BRICS Environment Ministers' Meeting in New Delhi under the theme "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability." But behind the official statements and ministerial handshakes lies a quiet policy revolution – one that could permanently reorder who profits from the global energy transition. 🧠 BRICS is seizing control of energy demand – not just oil supply. By 2050, 11 countries will consume 22,000 TWh – nearly the entire planet's current output. 🇨🇳🇮🇳 China and India are setting the standards that will define global energy consumption for decades. 🎥 We published a full breakdown – explaining exactly how this "boring" document is actually a massive geopolitical trap – https://youtu.be/afN5rAbYnSU #BRICS #EnergySovereignty #GlobalSouth #BRICS2026 #IndiaBRICSChairship #Geopolitics

🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP: "NO TALKS WITH IRAN" – But the Empire Speaks with a Forked Tongue The US president claims there are no talks, no scheduled negotiations, and that the blockade is "in full force." But reality on the water tells a different story. 🚫 "There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran." 🚢 "The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect." 🌊 "The Hormuz Strait is open and operating. All water mines have been removed or detonated." #Trump #Iran #Hormuz #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS #AxisOfResistance

🇹🇷🇷🇺🇦🇪 TURKEY CAUGHT IN S-400/F-35 TRAP – US Blocks Deal, Erdoğan Stuck Between Moscow and Washington Turkey's talks with the UAE to sell its Russian-made S-400 systems have stalled – and the F-35 deal with the US remains suspended. Ankara is trapped between two powers. 📉 Turkey-UAE S-400 talks have stalled – despite Russia indicating it would not block the sale to a non‑NATO member. 🇺🇸 A US State Department letter (July 22) recommended against approving the F-35 deal, citing Turkey's continued possession of the S‑400s. 🗣️ Erdoğan told Al Jazeera he expects Trump to follow through on the F‑35s, referencing the "conditional green light" given at July's NATO summit in Ankara. 🇷🇺 Moscow is "unlikely to block the sale to UAE" – since the UAE isn't a NATO member, and Russia‑UAE relations carry no particular tension. #Turkey 🇹🇷 #Russia 🇷🇺 #UAE 🇦🇪 #US 🇺🇸 #S400 #F35 #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS

At the top of the world… where the planet feels infinite and small at the same time. Four days through endless ice. A nuclear giant named 50 Let Pobedy carrying students from 23 countries. Polar bears watching from the white silence. And then… this. The North Pole. Where every direction is south. Where a single step can circle the Earth. Where history isn’t written in books — it stands under an open, endless sky. From the coldest place on Earth rises the warmest feeling: wonder. Hope. The quiet certainty that when young minds from every corner of the globe gather on the ice, something beautiful has already begun. This isn’t just a ship. It’s a dream that refused to stay on land. And today… it reached the roof of the world. From the icebreaker of knowledge — with all the love the Arctic can hold. ❄️ ❤️What would it feel like to stand right here? Share it in the comments. Some moments still defy words…

Mother and daughter fans of Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever were forced by security at State Farm Arena in Atlanta to cover up their shirts supporting women’s rights in sports. Meanwhile, a “Protect Trans Rights” shirt was shown on the Jumbotron before that fan was also asked to cover up.

🇺🇸 Meta Faces $1.4 Trillion Lawsuit Over Alleged Harm to Children Meta is heading to federal court in California over allegations that Facebook and Instagram were deliberately designed to keep children and teenagers scrolling, while exposing young users to potential mental-health risks. Four US states — California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey — are leading the case, part of a wider lawsuit involving 29 states. The states accuse Meta of using features such as infinite scrolling, autoplay and recommendation algorithms to encourage compulsive use, while allegedly allowing children under 13 to access its platforms without verified parental consent. They are seeking damages of up to $1.4 trillion, along with major changes to Meta’s algorithms, parental verification systems and other platform features. Meta denies the allegations, saying teen mental health is complex and that it has introduced new measures to protect younger users. Source: RT #Meta #MarkZuckerberg #Facebook #Instagram

🇬🇧 Thousands Gather in London to Mourn Jason Arday Thousands of people gathered at London’s Trafalgar Square to remember Jason Arday, the former Cambridge University professor who died at the age of 41 after weeks of intense media scrutiny. Arday had resigned from his position amid plagiarism allegations, which he denied. Liverpool John Moores University, where he received his doctorate, said it had cleared him of plagiarism. Many mourners at the vigil accused the British media of subjecting Arday to relentless and racist coverage, arguing that the pressure had taken a devastating toll on him. The Metropolitan Police said his death was unexpected but not believed to be suspicious. His cause of death has not been publicly disclosed. Organisers estimated that around 30,000 people attended the vigil. Source: Al Jazeera / Reuters #UK #JasonArday #London #Racism

📄🤯 BRICS JUST HID A MASSIVE TRAP INSIDE THE MOST BORING DOCUMENT ON EARTH Energy efficiency standards? Sounds boring. But this quiet policy paper from the BRICS summit is actually a masterclass in energy geopolitics – and a direct challenge to Western control. While the world watches the energy war and headlines about de-dollarisation, BRICS is quietly building a parallel world – starting with the appliances in your home. 🔴 What the "boring" document really does: 🧠 By 2050, 11 countries will consume 22,000 TWh – nearly the entire planet's current output. BRICS is seizing control of that demand. 🇨🇳🇮🇳 China and India are leading the charge, setting standards that will define global energy consumption for decades. ⚡ De-westernisation of energy infrastructure – BRICS is moving beyond oil to control the very systems that power homes, factories, and cities. 🎥 Watch the breakdown: https://youtu.be/afN5rAbYnSU #BRICS #EnergySovereignty #GlobalSouth #Geopolitics #ThinkBRICS #EnergyWar #DeDollarization

⚡️🚢 US WARSHIP LOSES POWER AND TOILETS IN SOUTH CHINA SEA – Yet Another Symbol of Empire in Decay The USS Benfold, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, spent four days adrift without power, hot meals, flushing toilets, or air conditioning – in 37°C heat. The crew had to be towed to the Philippines. Meanwhile, the USS Abraham Lincoln is facing similar conditions in the Persian Gulf, with sailors reportedly scrawling anti-Israel messages on aircraft. 🛑 The USS Benfold suffered an "engineering casualty involving its generators" while conducting a "freedom of navigation" exercise in the South China Sea. ❌ No power, no toilets, no galley services, no air conditioning, no drinking water – for four days. 🌡️ Temperatures averaged between 32 and 37°C. 🚢 The USS Robert Smalls provided hot meals; the Benfold was towed to the Philippines for repairs. #USNavy 🇺🇸 #China 🇨🇳 #SouthChinaSea #USSBenfold #USSAbrahamLincoln #BRICS #

🇱🇻💶 LATVIA DEMANDS €7 BILLION FROM EU – "We're Bankrolling Europe's Defence Against Russia" The frontline state says it's going broke defending Europe – and now it wants Brussels to pay up. 🔴 What Latvia's Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs told POLITICO 💰 €7 billion – the cash Riga wants from the EU's next seven‑year budget, under a new Competitiveness Fund. 🛡️ "We are getting our budget deficit to the maximum… to pay for the defence of the whole of Europe." 💸 Much of Latvia's military spending flows back to richer Western European economies – Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands. "We fuel their economies," Kulbergs said. 🇪🇺 EU granted over 630,000 visas to Russians in 2025 – Kulbergs called for a total visa ban: "Are we nuts? We allow Russian military soldiers to be given visas." 🔴 The political pressure 🗳️ Election on October 3 – populist parties arguing that Latvia should demand more in return for sanctions are gaining ground. #Latvia 🇱🇻 #EU #NATO #Russia #Ukraine #BRICS

🇮🇷🏆 IRAN DISARMED THE US – NATO IS DECAYING, AND BRUSSELS IS SINKING The 60-day MOU has expired. The US failed to comply with a single one of its 14 points. Iran protected the Strait of Hormuz, shattered American intelligence, and left US bases in the Middle East irreversibly damaged. 💥 Iran disarmed the US – American bases in the Middle East are damaged beyond restoration. 🇮🇱 Israel without US weapons is on its knees – the war has exposed the fragility of the Zionist project without American backing. 🚢 US aircraft carriers are in crisis – reports of "misery, hunger, mental breakdowns, and suicide attempts" on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Never before in the history of American hegemony has this been seen. 🧠 NATO is heading toward the same fate – the US military is critically weakened; NATO follows the US bus, and that bus is going off a cliff. 📌 Read the analysis here: https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/disarming-the-empire-irans-triumph #Iran 🇮🇷 #US 🇺🇸 #NATO #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS

A brow appointment at Karimi Brows came to an abrupt end after owner Fatana Karimi learned that her client was Jewish and half-Israeli. During their conversation, the client mentioned a novel she had written featuring Afghan and Jewish characters, prompting a discussion that eventually turned to her heritage. Karimi stopped the appointment, citing her political beliefs and saying it was her right as a business owner to refuse service. The client then asked for her deposit back, but Karimi refused to return it.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸 US-ISRAEL WORKING GROUPS FOR GAZA DISARMAMENT – But "Disarmament" Means Different Things to Different Sides Jared Kushner: "We've made a lot of progress." But a gaping contradiction remains: Israel demands every weapon and tunnel removed before withdrawal. Hamas understands "storage of heavy weapons" under a Palestinian administration. 🤝 Kushner met Netanyahu for hours – agreed on two working groups for disarmament and public health in Gaza. 📜 Board of Peace roadmap – Hamas agreed to disarm and relinquish control to a National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), overseen by the Board of Peace. 🇮🇱 Israel's position – "There will be no IDF redeployment from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed and all of Gaza is demilitarised – every weapon, light and heavy, and every tunnel." 🇵🇸 Hamas's understanding – "Storage of heavy weapons" under NCAG, not full decommissioning. #Gaza 🇵🇸 #Israel 🇮🇱 #US 🇺🇸 #Disarmament #Kushner #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS #Occupation #Ceasefire
