A bulky sleeper shark drifting over a pitch-black seabed deep beneath Antarctic waters caught researchers off guard during a January 2025 expedition

Many experts had long assumed sharks didn’t inhabit the freezing waters surrounding Antarctica, making the 3 to 4 meter specimen an unexpected find

‘We went down there not expecting to see sharks because there’s a general rule of thumb that you don’t get sharks in Antarctica,’ researcher Alan Jamieson said

‘And it’s not even a little one either. It’s a hunk of a shark. These things are tanks,’ he added

Why India Won’t Take Orders from Washington
A sharp exchange between American and Indian representatives at last weekend’s Munich Security Conference offered a revealing snapshot of how the emerging world order actually functions. Following the line set by his boss, US President Donald Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed that New Delhi had promised Washington it would stop buying Russian oil.

Soon after, speaking at another panel, Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar declined to confirm any such commitment. India,...  Read more »

JUST IN: 🇮🇳🇮🇷 India tells its citizens to leave Iran immediately.

New Delhi Reporter:Indians in Iran have been advised to leave amid possible US strikes in the days to come. In its latest advisory, the Embassy of India asked its citizens to "leave Iran by available means of transport, including commercial flights." The advisory applies to everyone in Iran - students, pilgrims, business persons and tourists.

EU's Kaja Kallas on Iran:

We don't need another war in this region. We already have a lot.

It is true that Iran is at its weakest point that they have been. We should be really using this time to find a diplomatic solution.

Zelensky:

Lukashenko called me and apologized.

He was very afraid that we would strike back. He himself said:

‘Well, go ahead, strike the refinery in Mozyr if you want,’ because he did not know what we were capable of doing at that moment.

We discussed responding. Many in my team wanted to respond.

But Putin was waiting for that. He wanted us to strike Belarus so that Belarusian forces could enter the war from that direction.

Even if their forces were not large, it would have forced us to divert troops and weaken our eastern front.

We understood this trap.

🚢 A tanker without a warship: Russia’s bold move in the Caribbean.

🔥 The Sea Horse, carrying 200,000 barrels of Russian diesel, is sailing alone toward Cuba — unescorted, unarmed, and defiant. As the island faces rolling blackouts and fuel shortages, this voyage is more than commerce — it’s a geopolitical challenge to Washington’s blockade.

🌍 Moscow’s unescorted gamble forces the U.S. into a dilemma: intercept the tanker and appear oppressive, or let it dock and risk weakening its blockade.

💬 Is this the moment the Global South’s defiance of U.S. dominance becomes impossible to ignore?
