🇮🇩 Indonesia unrest ‘almost certainly’ CIA’s work - analyst

💬 “Any activity against a rival country is the CIA’s work. They infiltrate opposition forces long in advance and trigger incidents like we see today,” Vietnamese political and military analyst Nguyen Minh Tam told Sputnik.

The US’s short-term aim is disrupting Indonesia’s diplomacy with China.

But the real game is bigger:

🟠 Indonesia joined BRICS on Jan 6, 2025 as the first Southeast Asian member

🟠 If Indonesia deepens ties with SCO, US influence in the Western Pacific could be at serious risk

🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳SCO alliances: Path to free Global South from Northern dominance

“India's relationships with China and Russia offer terms that are more favorable than those offered by the West,” Adriel Kasonta, London-based foreign affairs analyst, tells Sputnik.

The pundit breaks down how the West’s approach differs from that of multipolarity advocates.

1️⃣“In its dealings with the West, India often finds itself in the role of a recipient of directives”

2️⃣“Its relationships with Russia and China are fundamentally different; neither Moscow nor Beijing imposes sanctions or conditions their good relations on India acting against its own national interests”

🇷🇺🇮🇳Today, Vladimir Putin and Narendra Modi met at the SCO summit in Tianjin, China. The leaders reaffirmed their support for further strengthening their countries’ strategic partnership.

“The West should recognize the unity between India and Russia in response to tariff pressures from Washington, as evidence that PM Narendra Modi’s government prioritizes its vital national interests over superficial geopolitical theatrics,” Kasonta concludes.

🗣🇷🇺 Russia refutes claims it jammed GPS on von der Leyen's flight

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has denied any Russian involvement in the GPS navigation failure aboard an aircraft carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

💬 "The allegations are not true," Peskov said in a statement to the Financial Times newspaper.

Earlier on Monday, the FT reported that GPS navigation stopped working as the plane was landing in Plovdiv in Bulgaria, forcing pilots to rely on paper maps.

A European Commission representative quoted Bulgarian authorities alleging "deliberate Russian interference," but no evidence has been provided to support the claim.

🗣The SCO steps in where the UN has failed

The SCO has condemned Israel and the US for their attack on Iran in June. In a joint statement, they said that such aggressive actions against civilian targets, including nuclear energy infrastructure, which resulted in civilian deaths, constitute a gross violation of the principles and norms of international law and infringe on Iran’s sovereignty.

The SCO’s condemnation of Israeli and US strikes on Iran marks a turning point, Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Tehran University professor and political analyst, told Sputnik.

“This is what we should have seen from the United Nations. Instead, the SCO and BRICS are emerging as the real alternative.”

Key takeaways:

🟠The West’s wars, sanctions, and support for apartheid regimes are pushing nations together and marginalizing the very institutions it built after WWII
🟠Iran’s membership in the SCO shows its people are not isolated—they have the backing of countries representing the global majority
🟠Asia’s rise is unstoppable: new trade corridors, Belt & Road, and collective security are shielding nations from Western disruption
🟠SCO is shifting into a real force: security, economic integration, and independence from Western financial institutions

💬 Marandi: “Thanks to the West’s own foolish behavior, the SCO is becoming a central pillar of peace, security, and prosperity across Asia—and beyond.”
