ICYMI: On the first day of the Arab-China🇨🇳 business conference, Saudi Arabia🇸🇦 signed $10 billion worth of deals with the communist superpower on the first day, including a $5.6 billion electric vehicle deal.

Previously, China and Saudi Arabia had agreed to harmonise Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

After decades of destruction and chaos in the Middle East thanks to US hegemony, US influence declining by the day as the Middle East looks to China as a partner for stability and prosperity?

On this day in 1928, Argentinian revolutionary Che Guevara was born. He was instrumental to the success of the Cuban Revolution & aided revolutionary efforts across Latin America and Africa. He was captured and murdered by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces. Here he is on US imperialism:

‘The bestiality of Hitler’s armies…is like the North American bestiality…and that of the French imperialists in Algeria. For it is the very essence of imperialism to turn men into wild, bloodthirsty animals’

In a separate question, when Palestinians were asked which world power would be the fairest mediator between Palestinians and Israelis, Russia was voted to be top potential mediator, while the US was voted to be the least credible mediator.

Egypt🇪🇬 has officially applied to join BRICS, with Russia🇷🇺 formally accepting Egypt’s bid to join the group.

Egypt has already begun to drop the dollar from trade with Russia, India🇮🇳 and China🇨🇳.

Egypt is projected to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world leading up to 2030, with an abundance of natural resources and Egypt’s geostrategic control of the Suez Canal.

Will Egypt’s membership further cement BRICS+ dominance and the end of US and European hegemony?

Ex-NATO Chief Rasmussen: Ukraine must join NATO to contain and 'fix' the Russia🇷🇺 problem. Ukraine joining NATO would allow resources to be freed up to address a rising China🇨🇳.

Why would NATO need to free up resources to confront China if it is supposedly a defensive North Atlantic organisation with no ambitions to strengthen US hegemony?

Saudi Arabia’s🇸🇦 Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih:

ICYMI: Arguably recognising that Europe and the US increasingly sit on an island of irrelevancy, France’s🇫🇷 Emmanuel Macron has sought an invitation to the upcoming BRICS summit.

Will Macron really be welcomed by the BRICS states and hopeful members, which resent the history of French, and more broadly, European colonialism?

The old world of French imperialism trying to gain a foothold in a multipolar club that seeks to leave US and European hegemony behind?

ICYMI: China’s🇨🇳 President declared a ‘strategic partnership’ with the State of Palestine🇵🇸.

"Today, we will jointly announce the establishment of a China-Palestine strategic partnership, which will be an important milestone in the history of bilateral relations."

Will Palestine’s position be strengthened against Israeli occupation as China’s role grows in the Middle East, while the US’ role declines?

The new BRICS currency being discussed will reportedly be backed by gold, rare earth metals and the other natural resources of the BRICS members, with expansion bringing in the vast natural resource wealth of new members.

While the US dollar is backed arguably by nothing other than the US’ military dominance and declining hegemonic bullying, will the arrival of the BRICS currency deal a quick and fatal blow to the position of the dollar as the world’s most dominant currency?

On this day in 1954, John Foster Dulles and the United Fruit Company organise the landing of the CIA’s Exile Army to Guatemala to begin the coup against President Jacobo Árbenz.

Árbenz had threatened to nationalise the United Fruit Company, which was an arm of US imperialism. John Foster Dulles owned significant stock in the United Fruit Company. The coup was led by CIA asset General Castillo Armas, what would follow would be 4 decades of US-backed brutality by successive dictatorial regimes, which fought to protect US interests. Among the horrors was the genocide of the Maya people.
