03:00🇱🇻💶 LATVIA DEMANDS €7 BILLION FROM EU – "We're Bankrolling Europe's Defence Against Russia" The frontline state says it's going broke defending Europe – and now it wants Brussels to pay up. 🔴 What Latvia's Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs told POLITICO 💰 €7 billion – the cash Riga wants from the EU's next seven‑year budget, under a new Competitiveness Fund. 🛡️ "We are getting our budget deficit to the maximum… to pay for the defence of the whole of Europe." 💸 Much of Latvia's military spending flows back to richer Western European economies – Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands. "We fuel their economies," Kulbergs said. 🇪🇺 EU granted over 630,000 visas to Russians in 2025 – Kulbergs called for a total visa ban: "Are we nuts? We allow Russian military soldiers to be given visas." 🔴 The political pressure 🗳️ Election on October 3 – populist parties arguing that Latvia should demand more in return for sanctions are gaining ground. #Latvia 🇱🇻 #EU #NATO #Russia #Ukraine #BRICS8,33%
16 авг.🇺🇸🇹🇷 US & TURKEY OPEN "PANDORA'S BOX" WITH UKRAINE ARMS DEAL – Moscow Warns of Consequences 🚨 While Ankara and Washington claim to be mediators, they're secretly funneling US-made missiles and cluster munitions to Ukraine – a move Russia says "inevitably undermines mutual trust." 🔴 What Moscow is saying (Maria Zakharova): 🎭 "Attempts to use peacemaking rhetoric while simultaneously supplying weapons to Ukrainian Nazis inevitably undermine mutual trust." 📦 Washington's authorization is required for re‑export from Turkish stocks – and the State Department submitted the papers on August 6. ⚠️ "Why open another 'Pandora's box' while both countries claim a special role in resolving the conflict?" #US 🇺🇸 #Turkey 🇹🇷 #Ukraine 🇺🇦 #Russia 🇷🇺 #ATACMS #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS #PandorasBox #ClusterMunitions6,12%

16 авг.🇷🇺🇰🇵 Russia and North Korea are deepening a partnership built on shared history and strategic trust. Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un have reaffirmed their close ties as North Korea marked the 81st anniversary of its liberation from Japanese colonial rule. Putin said the relationship was forged through the shared struggle of Soviet soldiers and expressed confidence that cooperation would continue across “all the sectors.” Kim, in response, highlighted the two countries’ “common struggle for justice” and their long-standing traditions of friendship. Moscow and Pyongyang have expanded military and political cooperation, while a Russian ship arrived at Wonsan for a goodwill visit marking the anniversary. At the same time, South Korea is calling for dialogue with Pyongyang. But North Korea has rejected Seoul’s overtures, accusing US-South Korean military exercises of being provocations. The message from Moscow and Pyongyang is clear: Their partnership is not fading. It is deepening. Source: Reuters5,59%

16 авг.🇨🇳🇱🇾 Africa is quietly moving closer to the yuan. Libya’s banks are preparing to join China’s CIPS payment network — Beijing’s alternative to the Western-dominated SWIFT system. That means direct yuan-based interbank payments, faster cross-border transfers and potentially less dependence on the US dollar. And Libya may not be an isolated case. Across Africa, financial institutions are deepening links with China’s payment infrastructure. The bigger story isn’t just trade. It’s financial architecture. If more African banks connect to CIPS, Beijing gains a wider channel for yuan internationalization while African economies gain another route for cross-border payments. The dollar isn’t disappearing. But the world is building alternatives. Source: South China Morning Post #China #Africa #Yuan #BRICS4,76%

09:18🇮🇱🇵🇸 Gaza: Israeli far-right minister calls for nightly killings. Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has reportedly called for Israeli forces to “kill 30 or 40” Palestinians in Gaza every night — going beyond those considered immediate threats. In a podcast discussion, Ben-Gvir also called for Palestinians to permanently leave Gaza and backed further Israeli settlement of the territory, saying he views “all of Gaza as ours.” He further pledged to push for the execution of Palestinian prisoners convicted in Israeli military courts. Ben-Gvir does not directly command Israel’s military, but he sits on the security cabinet that helps shape Israel’s war and security policy. His remarks come as Israel faces growing international criticism over its conduct in Gaza. The rhetoric is becoming increasingly explicit: More killings. More displacement. More territorial control.

16 авг.🇧🇷 Lula is fighting to win Brazil’s workers back. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is launching his final reelection campaign from São Bernardo do Campo the industrial city where his political journey began with the workers’ movement. But Brazil’s workforce has changed dramatically. Factory floors and unions once formed the backbone of Lula’s Workers’ Party. Today, millions of younger Brazilians work through digital platforms such as Uber and iFood, with many preferring flexibility over traditional employment. The numbers show the shift: Formal employment fell from 46.7% of workers in 2010 to 38.2% in 2025. Meanwhile, Brazil’s platform workforce reached around 2.1 million growing 170% between 2015 and 2025. Lula now faces a political challenge: Can the Workers’ Party win over a new generation that works outside the traditional labor system? Source: Reuters #Brazil #Lula #Politics #Economy4,05%

02:00🇮🇷🏆 IRAN DISARMED THE US – NATO IS DECAYING, AND BRUSSELS IS SINKING The 60-day MOU has expired. The US failed to comply with a single one of its 14 points. Iran protected the Strait of Hormuz, shattered American intelligence, and left US bases in the Middle East irreversibly damaged. 💥 Iran disarmed the US – American bases in the Middle East are damaged beyond restoration. 🇮🇱 Israel without US weapons is on its knees – the war has exposed the fragility of the Zionist project without American backing. 🚢 US aircraft carriers are in crisis – reports of "misery, hunger, mental breakdowns, and suicide attempts" on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Never before in the history of American hegemony has this been seen. 🧠 NATO is heading toward the same fate – the US military is critically weakened; NATO follows the US bus, and that bus is going off a cliff. 📌 Read the analysis here: https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/disarming-the-empire-irans-triumph #Iran 🇮🇷 #US 🇺🇸 #NATO #BRICS #GlobalSouth #ThinkBRICS3,85%
08:07🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington could be considering a nuclear option against Iran. Former US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claims US officials have discussed using nuclear weapons against Iran and are considering lowering the threshold for their use. She provided no names or evidence, and the White House has not confirmed the allegation. But the warning comes as the US-Israeli war with Iran continues to escalate. Greene says such a move could trigger a “nuclear holocaust” and turn the conflict into a much wider war. Washington and Israel have continued demanding “zero enrichment” from Tehran, while Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and that enrichment is a sovereign right. Iran has also warned that renewed attacks could push its nuclear program toward weapons-grade enrichment — while saying no decision has been made to build a bomb. The most dangerous question is no longer how far the war can escalate. It is whether Washington is willing to cross the nuclear threshold. Source: RT #Iran #USA3,77%
