Brazil's President calls for an end to dollar trade dominance during a speech at the BRICS Bank in Shanghai:

"Every night, I ask myself why all countries are forced to do their trade backed by the dollar? Why can't we do trade backed by our currency?"

Democratic Party of Korea floor leader Park Hong-keun condemned the United States for "illegally wiretapping" South Korean leaders:

"If confirmed, it is an unacceptable practice that cannot be tolerated in the 70-year alliance and a clear infringement of South Korea's sovereignty that shatters bilateral trust… The US government should be faithful to its ally and apologize to the South Korean public and the government.

The wiretapping on supplying ammunition to Ukraine may be the tip of the iceberg, and there seems to be a fair chance of internal conversations of the presidential office and the National Security Council being heard by the US. The presidential office did not disavow the wiretapping, which ended up making it appear to have a lukewarm stance regarding the incident…

This is a clear infringement of South Korea's sovereignty by the US, even though the country is the closest ally of ours."

Russian diplomat Vasily Nebenzya tells the UN Security Council that Washington threatened to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline, then expressed happiness that it had been blown up, and now rejects demands for an independent investigation:

"In response to all attempts by Russia, as the party affected by the Nord Stream explosion, to get involved in the national investigations by Denmark, Sweden, and Germany, we received only refusals and stonewalling...

You don't have to be a detective or an analyst to understand that the United States and its allies are trying to cover their tracks, including throwing in all sorts of fabrications and delusions and refusing to respond to facts that are inconvenient for Washington.

I am sure the more detailed facts will emerge, all those involved in the sabotage against Nord Stream will be identified, and the details of this crime will be revealed. It cannot be avoided."

2015: Vox explains how Ukraine is divided, with the Eastern region supporting pro-Russia candidates and predominantly speaking the Russian language.

2023: The State Department's Global Engagement Center claims this fact about Ukraine is actually Russian disinformation.

I know some of you like Jim Jordan, but he's turning out to be another one who only cares about fundraising soundbites over actually doing something.
