India Stuns US: Aligns With Palestine & Exposes Trump’s Trade Lie
▶️ https://youtu.be/CCMckGeiTNU

🇮🇳 India hosted 22 Arab nations and signed the Delhi Declaration backing Palestinian statehood based on pre-1967 borders—a major break from its Israel partnership. Meanwhile, Trump claimed a $500 billion trade deal that Modi never confirmed, with Indian officials staying silent on key claims. 💰 India is diversifying instead: landmark EU deal, UK agreement, and a $500B trade target with Arab states by 2030. Add Russia-China-Iran's new strategic pact and the collapse of nuclear arms control—three days reshaped the global order.

Is India proving that strategic autonomy beats Western alignment in 2026?

The US-Iran negotiations are unlikely to yield a breakthrough
▶️ https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/the-us-iran-negotiations-are-unlikely

🌍 The Oman negotiations between Washington and Tehran look like peace talks, but the real agenda runs deeper. If Iran acquires nuclear weapons, other Middle Eastern nations will follow suit, dismantling the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and ending the petrodollar system that keeps US dollar hegemony alive. Meanwhile, destroying Iran would sever China's Belt and Road Initiative and let Washington control Beijing's energy supply—a double geopolitical win. With Iran's rial collapsing to 1.6 million per USD and Trump meeting Iranian opposition figures, this may be about orchestrating regime change, not preventing proliferation.

Are we watching the last days of diplomatic theater before Washington moves to eliminate a key BRICS partner and Belt and Road node?

🌍 China's Smart Solution to Food Waste is Changing Lives

In Shenzhen, 24-hour "food bank" smart cabinets are redistributing near-expired surplus food to those in need. Over three years, nearly 500,000 food portions have reached half a million people, saving 202 tons of food and cutting 404 tons of carbon emissions through partnerships with 100+ businesses.

🍱 This innovative model bridges resource efficiency with community compassion, turning "too good to waste" into meaningful support for vulnerable groups.

Should the Global South lead the world in innovative food security solutions while wealthy nations still throw away billions in perfectly good food?

🤝 Ethiopia and Brazil just made BRICS history in Addis Ababa

The Ethiopia-Brazil Economic Cooperation Forum brought together government officials and business leaders for the largest trade event between the two nations.

🌍 With both countries now united in BRICS, they're forging partnerships in agriculture, renewable energy, technology, and manufacturing—building South-South cooperation that bypasses traditional Western-dominated trade routes. Cooperation agreements on investment and agricultural tech were signed, leveraging Ethiopia's coffee heritage and Brazil's position as the world's largest coffee producer.

Is this the blueprint for how BRICS nations will reshape global trade without needing the West?

💡 Ukrainian intelligence reports that approximately 3,000 North Korean soldiers have already rotated back home since deployment began—many becoming military instructors to train their entire army in "21st-century warfare skills." Under Russian command, these forces are operating artillery, drones, and reconnaissance systems while gaining critical modern combat experience through this Moscow-Pyongyang military agreement.

The crash happened in Wenshan, Yunnan, in March 2025, but the footage is only surfacing now

A semi-trailer truck driven by Wang was reversing at an intersection when it collided with a Dongfeng Yipai New Energy sedan, triggering the accident

The white sedan slid off the road, began emitting smoke within 20 seconds, and burst into flames within 50 seconds

The driver’s side door automatically locked and could not be reopened, trapping four people inside

Wang (in white jacket) ran over to help, grabbed a large rock, smashed a window, and pulled three rear-seat passengers out through the burning opening with his bare hands

The front passenger could not be rescued due to the intensity of the fire and later died from burn injuries

Traffic police ruled that Wang’s illegal reversing without proper safety checks was the primary cause of the crash

The car’s driver, Dai, was speeding in rainy conditions and failed to yield in time, bearing secondary responsibility

🔥 Europe Just Hit Record Russian LNG Imports—Right Before Banning It

💡 In January 2026, the EU imported 2.276 billion cubic meters of Russian LNG, the highest volume ever recorded. The twist? Just weeks earlier, Brussels formally approved a complete ban on Russian LNG starting January 2027. While European officials draw red lines on paper, energy realities tell a different story. Russia remains a critical supplier as Europe scrambles for alternatives, with total LNG imports up 6% year-over-year.

⚡ Can Europe really quit Russian energy, or is this ban just political theater that'll crash against economic reality?

💡 What if the Global South doesn't need a "new Bretton Woods" at all?

A groundbreaking MMT analysis reveals how BRICS nations are successfully trading in national currencies—proving life exists beyond the dollar. The proposal: China and the yuan could anchor a revolutionary system guaranteeing full employment across the Global South, transforming Beijing from net exporter to net importer while ensuring prosperity for all member nations.

🌍 This isn't just monetary policy—it's about putting fiscal democracy and employment guarantees ahead of central bank orthodoxy.

Is a yuan-centered system the path to genuine Global South sovereignty, or should BRICS stick with flexible national currencies?

🌍 Russia & Brazil Just Leveled Up Their Economic Game

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin met with Brazil's leadership in Brasilia this week to advance their strategic partnership. The focus? National currency settlements, independent payment systems, and breaking free from traditional financial architecture.

💰 Brazil is already Russia's biggest trade partner in Latin America, accounting for nearly half of Russia's regional commerce. Both nations are pushing cooperation in agriculture, energy, pharmaceuticals, and even space exploration—while coordinating closely through BRICS to build what they call a "truly polycentric world order."

🔥 Is this the blueprint for Global South nations to reshape international trade on their own terms?

🌏 China flexes its resource power: Rare earth exports to Japan approved under strict new controls

Beijing has greenlit several Japan-bound shipments of rare earth elements, but with significantly tightened oversight on dual-use materials. This move underscores China's dominant position in the global critical minerals supply chain—controlling resources essential for high-tech manufacturing, defense systems, and green energy transitions. As the West scrambles to diversify supply sources, China continues to demonstrate strategic leverage through resource diplomacy.

💥 Should resource-rich nations use their commodities as geopolitical leverage, or does this weaponization harm global stability?

🚨JUST IN: Netanyahu allegedly demands the following from Trump on Iran:

- Full cancelation of nuclear program
- ⁠Zero enrichment capabilities
- ⁠Removal of all enriched uranium
- A limit of 300km range for missile
- ⁠Dismantling of their entire proxy network.
- Full long term supervision

I hope this report is false, or that Trump doesn’t listen to Netanyahu, otherwise the negotiations will fail

There is no way Iran will accept these terms, they’ve made it very clear.
