"🇮🇱 #Israel é a nossa fortaleza. É quase como ter um porta-aviões no Oriente Médio. (...) Se Israel desaparecer, os #BRICS vão controlar 90% do #Petróleo do mundo e isso seria uma catástrofe para os interesses dos 🇺🇲 #EUA." - Robert Kennedy Jr., candidato "independente" (sic) nas eleições presidenciais de 2024 nos EUA, explica a importância estratégica de Israel e identifica quem são os inimigos da política externa de Washington -

Putin shakes hands with Xi ahead of China meeting

I posted it 2 weeks ago. Others seems to be starting to see it.

Huawei is changing the game in #semiconductor industry, dominated for decades by US.

They learned that instead of manufacturing products for US and bound by US and #EU parents, they started from scratch using their massive army of engineers with almost unlimited money to jump over decades of development into something that will shock the world even more when the first drones, cruise missiles and fighter jets powered by 100% Chinese components hits the market.

US won the battle against Huawei and #Russia by imposing though sanctions, but they thought them a lesson, that western companies can't be trusted and they act on the orders of their governments.

The free market economy the western nations brag about, is nothing than a global cartel working hand in hand with their military and politicians.

Now it's china's turn to use it's 2B+ consumer's of #BRICS nations and the counties standing in line to join.

This is the main reason US wants to go to war with #China.

Not from the Onion : Members of the American government claim that #Biden would not carry out sanctions in Brazil if President #Lula does not organize the arrest of #Putin during the Russian president's possible trip to the country.

However, these members stated that they are willing to help deputies and senators in mobilizing a request for arrest.

PS. This comes from the same country that wanted to kill ICC judges and forced many countries to sign agreement to make exceptions for American citizens.

But hey, this is about Russia and talking about hypocrisy of Americans makes me a Putin apologist.

Iranian media reporting that the first Russian transit cargo train has arrived in the port city of Bandar Abbas to transfer the containers to boats for transition to Saudi Arabia.

This is the first north-south train from the recent agreements between the 3 nations

Iran is working on upgrading the aging and inefficient railroad system to be able to comply with demands for Russian goods to help Russia bypass western sanctions and embargoes.

“We should not go back to a #Cold-War with two polarizing blocs”

On the sidelines of the #BRICS summit, I spoke with South Africa’s Minister for Trade, Industry, and Competition, Ebrahim Patel, about BRICS’ purpose”>I spoke with South Africa’s Minister for Trade, Industry, and Competition, Ebrahim Patel, about BRICS’ purpose.

“BRICS want to stand for a world in which everybody benefits, this is not about trying to get into a new Cold War,” Patel commented.

“The Cold War was not a good moment for humanity,” Patel, who chaired the BRICS Business Forum in Johannesburg, continued when asked whether the US and Europe could ever accept multilateral exchange as anything other than an attack on Western hegemonic interests. “We should not go back to a Cold War with two polarizing blocs, but we do need the voices of the Global South to be out there helping to shape the architecture of governance and the way in which human beings interact.”

NATO’s Fascist Inheritance & the Long War On the Third World, with Pawel Wargan

To understand how this new Cold War might play out, we have to understand the foundations of the original Cold War of the 20th century. What was NATO’s role? What did it mean for the Third World back then? What does it mean for the Third World today, particularly those countries that seek an independent, sovereign path? What is the danger of rising fascist movements? And what are the lessons for anti-imperialists who live and organize in the imperial core?

To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Paweł Wargan, an organizer and researcher based in Berlin, the coordinator of the secretariat of the Progressive International and author of the recent Monthly Review article “NATO and the Long War on the Third World,” in which he looks to the past for lessons about the future, concluding that capitalism cannot be overcome until the arteries of imperial plunder are severed.

Les #BRICS+ viennent de jouer un coup superbe! | #IdrissAberkane

top

L'entrée de l' #Egypte, des #Emirats, de l' #Ethiopie, de l' #Iran, de l' #ArabieSaoudite et de l' #Argentine dans les BRICS est un véritable coup de maître #géopolitique. D'une part elle consolide décisivement leur #contrôle du #CanalDeSuez, du #Détroit d' #Ormuz et de #BabAlMandeb, d'autre part elle leur garantit plus de 51% des #hydrocarbures #mondiaux, ce qui confirmé définitivement l'élan de leur #nouveau #système #monétaire.

Cette #stratégie démontre aussi à quel point #Washington aura été #Machiavélique: tous les trous dans la nouvelle raquette des BRICS+ ne sont pas des #états alliés aux #USA, mais des états soit ruinés, soit #détruits, soit #faillis ( #Soudan, #Somalie, #Yemen, #Syrie...) par les bons soins des #interventions #US, selon la bonne vieille #doctrine "Rubbles cause no trouble", les gravats ne causent pas de tracas.

Not from the Onion : French President Emmanuel #Macron expressed concern about the expansion of BRICS and stated that the entry of new members into the bloc could lead to a "fragmentation of the world."

"The expansion of BRICS shows the intention to build a world order alternative to the current one, which is seen as too Western," said the French President during a meeting with ambassadors on Monday.

"We are an Amazonian power through French Guiana. I would like Brazil and the powers in the region to accept our membership," he added.

Citing that the new configuration of #BRICS could pose a risk to the weakening of #Europe, Macron stated that he intends to "engage with all" partners to try to prevent such a scenario.

#Politics #NotTheOnion #Brazil #France #WTAF

French President Emmanuel Macron defended the trade barriers approved by the European Parliament, which have been criticized by Brazil and other countries in the region during the Amazon Summit this week.

In a tweet, the French president stated that his country was a "driving force behind the historic decision of the European Union to no longer contribute to imported deforestation." The determination mentioned by Macron prohibits the import of products originating from deforested areas.

The measure is contested by Brazil and other countries that are members of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO). It is also expected that there will be points in the Belém Agreement, to be signed by the countries at the end of this week's Summit, addressing trade barriers like those imposed by the European Union.

There We Go Again : After the #BRICS summit, a NATO member says they will "dismantle" Brazil if Lula continues to align with the "hostile axis of genocide" of #Russia, #China, and #Iran.

Gunther Fehlinger, President of the European Committee for #NATO Growth, also referred to #Lula as a "corrupt socialist" and posted a map of Brazil divided into four to illustrate his post.

"After this #BRICS summit, I start to wonder if Socialist Corrupt Lula is not the hope of the Free World but will lead Brazil 🇧🇷 into the same direction as Russia, China, Iran 🇮🇷. I make it very clear: if you @LulaOficial join the hostile axis of Genocide, I will call to dismantle Brazil 🇧🇷?" he tweeted.

PS. I don't agree with the post, but it is so farfetched that I'm sure there are some lunatics who already looking at it as a solution./Farhad

BRICS Dropping US Dollar, Working on New Reserve Currency: #Brazil's Lula | August 24, 2023:

"The #BRICS economic alliance plans to abandon the U.S. dollar in trade settlements and develop a new reserve currency while promoting the use of local currencies, Brazil's president said at the bloc's 15th annual summit in #Johannesburg, #SouthAfrica.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio #Lula da Silva championed a medium- to long-term objective of creating a new reserve currency to fight against the U.S. dollar hegemony. Until then, the coalition will encourage the further utilization of members' national currencies in bilateral trade.

"The creation of a currency for commercial transactions and investments between BRICS members increases our payment conditions and reduces our vulnerabilities," Mr. Lula stated before the summit audience, adding that developing nations should be hit with higher interest rates than what affluent countries experience.

The best mechanism, he noted, is to bolster liquidity, increase favorable financing terms, and abolish conditionalities, suggesting that the “structural readjustment” is an indictment of the policies presented by the International Monetary Fund ( #IMF) and the #WorldBank.

"The multilateral trading system must be revitalized so that it returns to acting as a tool for fair, predictable, equitable, and non-discriminatory trade," he said."
