Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: If the US🇺🇸, Russia🇷🇺 & China🇨🇳 don’t work together, we’ll either blow ourselves up in NUCLEAR WAR or the climate crisis will KILL US

'We need to look at the world and understand that major power is shifting and the magnet of that shift is China

Look what China just did. They offered Manila oil in case they have a problem, and Manila went, ‘wow, okay, let's talk.’ That's one of our principal allies in the region being peeled away from us by this very crisis.

We're going to have to accommodate this power shift and then work with Beijing, Moscow, Tokyo, all the other places that have some dog in the fight, and we're going to have to help the Global South meet the two challenges we have that are existential for all of us.

One of them being nuclear weapons without any treaties and we're getting ready to spend trillions on new weapons. China and Russia will follow suit. And the other is the climate crisis.

If we don't get together, major powers of the world get together, put aside our differences, put aside our competition to a certain extent, and work on these two problems, why even compete? We won’t be here, we’ll be gone.

We'll either blow ourselves up in mushroom clouds all over the place, or the climate crisis will kill us.‘

🚨Col. Lawrence Wilkerson on bombing of the China-Iran Railway:

'China🇨🇳 is WINNING and they don't want to interrupt that victory. A war or hard action against the US🇺🇸 would interrupt it.

They will just mark it down in their book of US ERRORS. And when it gets too high to tolerate, then they'll take action.'

☢️Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: ‘IRAN HAS ALREADY WON…if they want nuclear weapons, they will make one.’

'I think Iran is perched right now exactly where Haaretz said they were. All they have to  do to win is not lose, and All the United States and Israel have to do is achieve a spectacular victory, and they aren't going to do that. So Iran’s already won. The  question is, How much damage is Donald Trump and what’s left of the American military going to be done to in the interim? And How much damage is going to be done to that military, particularly its maritime elements?

They have not unleashed anything significant yet on a US warship. They could and they might, and that's the end of that warship if they do. The carrier is holding off at least 1300 kilometres. Not just because of range. Because there are some missiles that can go that far. It's because the carrier is so capable of getting up to flight speed so fast that once it has a warning of a missile launch, it can itself defend fairly successfully without subsurface, surface, or airborne assets.

If the carrier moves at the right moment, at the speed it's capable of achieving, it's going to be very hard to hit it in that terminal phase. But they would ultimately fail with a hypersonic missile.

I take my experience from Kang Sok-Ju and Kye-Gwan in North Korea in October 2002, when we went to present them with an economic package the President and even the Vice President thought would be persuasive in getting them to back off their nuclear programme. Kye-Gwan looked right at us and said…we already have nuclear weapons. 

So I know how we were fooled by North Korea. I know North Korea in 2002 was working with Iran, not just on underground fortifications but also on nuclear weapons, how to match warhead to missile. So Ted, I think, is right. If the Iranians want a nuclear weapon, they'll make one.’

🚨Col. Lawrence Wilkerson: 'Trump is DESPERATE to end this and declare VICTORY against Iran. Netanyahu is desperate to keep him from doing it.’

‘Bibi is about to do himself in Lebanon. Last place I thought he would do himself in, but he's about to do that. Hezbollah is handing the IDF its worst defeat in a long time, if not ever. Certainly worse than the one they handed him in 2006. He's reacting by killing more and more innocent Lebanese and tightening the grip that Hezbollah will have eventually on that government, because they'll soon get fed up with it, just like they always do, and back away from any negotiations.

These negotiations in Lebanon are farcical, as the ones in Pakistan are, but they're all designed to cover Trump's retreat and make it not look like a retreat.'

🇨🇳🇮🇳 China–India Air Connectivity EXPANDS

🤝Air travel between China and India is picking up pace, signalling a gradual revival in bilateral connectivity between the two countries.

Starting tomorrow, Air China will resume its Beijing–Delhi route, operating three flights a week. It becomes the second route to India restarted by Chinese airlines this month.

China Eastern Airlines has already brought back its Kunming–Kolkata service and continues to rebuild its India network, including the Shanghai–Delhi route.

On the other side, IndiGo has also stepped up, launching daily Kolkata–Shanghai flights and restarting routes to Guangzhou.

More flights on both sides point to something simple: travel demand is returning, and with it, business, trade, and tourism links between China and India.

💱 The Chinese YUAN held FIRM near 6.82 per dollar on Monday, showing relative stability even as geopolitical tensions around Iran kept markets cautious.

While the US dollar saw a mild uptick on uncertainty over potential US–Iran talks, its gains remained limited. Meanwhile, the People’s Bank of China maintained its benchmark rates at record lows, signalling confidence in domestic economic conditions.

Across Asia, currencies broadly weakened against the dollar, including the Japanese yen, Australian dollar, and South Korean won, making the yuan’s stability stand out.

The yuan’s steady performance points to underlying confidence in China’s economic resilience, while the dollar’s movement remains tied to uncertainty.

🇷🇺Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:

💬‘Sadly, we are now seeing a resurgence of this ideology and this practice. It is being reanimated, and it is especially sad to see it in Germany and in those countries that joined Hitler’s armies as they attacked the Soviet Union. Now they are trying to unite under the same banners of the damned.

In connection with these attempts to give new life to Nazism, I have no choice but to mention Britain, which has always been a country where the ideology of racial supremacy was strong.’

🚨🇮🇳India PUSHES Global South Seat at UN Security Council

India called for comprehensive reforms in global financial institutions and the UN Security Council. Sibi George stressed that stronger representation of the Global South is essential to make the system more balanced and inclusive.

India’s push reflects growing frustration with a system where the United Nations Security Council often remains paralysed by veto politics, even during the Gaza genocide.

For the Global South, this is no longer just about representation. It is about making global institutions more responsive, accountable, and capable of acting when it matters.

🚨When Two REVOLUTIONS Met in India: 🇮🇳Nehru and 🇨🇺Che Guevara’s Historic 1959 Encounter

🤝In June 1959, Fidel Castro sent Che Guevara on a diplomatic tour across Africa and Asia, bringing him to India. Welcomed in Delhi, Che met Prime Minister Nehru over lunch.

Their conversation led to a shared decision to open diplomatic missions in each other’s countries. What stayed with Che wasn’t just the diplomacy, but the man himself.

He described Nehru as someone who received him “with the amiable familiarity of a patriarchal grandfather”, deeply engaged with Cuba’s struggle and openly appreciative of its courage.

A brief meeting, but one that quietly reflected mutual respect between two very different revolutions.

📑 🇺🇸US Intel UNDERCUTS Claims on Iran’s Military Damage

New assessments from the Pentagon suggest that Iran still retains a formidable stockpile of missiles and one-way attack drones, directly challenging earlier claims that its capabilities had been “wiped out.”

It’s easy to declare victory at full volume. It’s much harder to square that with the facts. Intelligence assessments don’t bend to messaging.

This follows a familiar Washington playbook: escalate, frame it as success, declare the adversary finished, then quietly concede the threat still exists.

Call it what it is. Not strategy, but propaganda dressed up as strength.

🚨How did Britain’s wartime hero become 🇮🇳India’s VILLAIN?

Racist Winston Churchill is often celebrated in the West. But in India, his legacy carries a darker shadow, the devastating Bengal famine, in which an estimated 2 to 3 million Indians died.

This was not merely a natural disaster. It unfolded during World War II under Churchill’s leadership. As famine conditions worsened in Bengal, grain was diverted and shipped out of India while millions starved. Requests for relief were either delayed or denied. For many Indian historians, this was not just negligence; it was a moral failure at the highest level.

Shashi Tharoor, author and Member of Parliament, has sharply criticised Churchill’s role.

Tharoor points out, "The British actually purchased grain that the Bengalis could barely afford to buy in order to ship it to Europe, not to aid the war effort, as his defenders claim, but to boost the buffer stocks in the event of a future possible invasion. People started dying. And Churchill said, "Well, it's all their fault anyway for breeding like rabbits."

There has never been a formal apology from the British government for the Bengal famine, nor an official admission of wrongdoing by Churchill.

The tragedy remains a disturbing chapter in colonial history, reminding India that its suffering under imperial rule must be remembered and acknowledged.

🚨🇮🇳One Year Since Pahalgam TERROR Attack: A Day That Changed Many Lives

💬“Remembering the innocent lives lost in the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack on this day last year. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with the bereaved families as they cope with this loss,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on X while paying tribute to the victims.

One year ago, on April 22, 2025, a brutal terror attack in Pahalgam claimed the lives of 25 Indian citizens and one Nepali national, according to the Government of India.

In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, a calibrated effort to dismantle terror networks and reinforce counter-terror operations.

A year on, the message is clear: terror leaves scars, but it does not break the will to confront and defeat it.

🇮🇳Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar:

'India-Africa relationship is rooted in our civilisational linkages, nurtured over centuries through trade, cultural exchanges, and human interactions. Our bonds were further strengthened as India stood in solidarity with Africa and African nations in their struggle against colonialism. The story of India's freedom struggle is itself closely linked with that of Africa.

Our shared history of struggle, solidarity, resilience, and aspirations continues to shape our partnership.'

🚨🇺🇸 Hegseth’s Pentagon CHAOS: Control or COLLAPSE?

Sean Parnell confirmed Navy Secretary John Phelan is out, as the United States faces pressure over Iran.

Under Pete Hegseth, the purge deepens. Phelan is the 34th military officer removed since he took charge.

The internal wreckage is now out in the open.

The Pentagon looks less like a command structure and more like a patronage mill. Experience out. Lickspittles, sycophants, and yes-men in.

Senior leadership is being cleared during an active strategic moment. Continuity breaks. Confidence slips.

Washington speaks of stability. Hegseth is signalling flattery.

🇮🇳🇲🇻 India Extends ₹30 Billion Currency Swap SUPPORT to Maldives

As tensions rise across West Asia, particularly amid the ongoing Iran conflict, India has moved quietly but decisively within its own maritime neighbourhood.

New Delhi has cleared the first drawal of ₹30 billion for Maldives under the SAARC Currency Swap Arrangement, replacing an earlier $400 million facility that matured this week.

Since 2012, the Reserve Bank of India has extended over $1.1 billion in swap support to Maldives. This builds on last year’s rollover of $100 million in treasury bills, offered as emergency financial assistance.

📊 The move reflects a broader pattern: as global volatility rises, India is reinforcing stability closer to home, stepping in as a dependable partner in South Asia.

🇮🇳 Can a Hormuz Blockade CHOKE India’s Oil Supply? Not Quite

As tensions between Iran and the United States keep markets on edge, concerns are rising over disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.

India is working actively to reduce its dependence on chokepoints.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 India and Russia are now expanding the Chennai–Vladivostok Eastern Maritime Corridor (EMC), also known as the Ice Silk Route, which became operational in 2024.

Key facts:
▪️ Spans over 5,600 nautical miles
▪️ Cuts distance by nearly 40%, reducing transit time to about 24 days
▪️ Aims to boost bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2030

The corridor links Chennai Port with Vladivostok Port, handling imports such as crude oil, metals, and machinery, while enabling exports of automobiles, textiles, and engineering goods. Connectivity is also being expanded to other Indian ports, such as Visakhapatnam.

India’s energy resilience is increasingly tied to its strategic partnership with Russia, an old friend.

🚨Former Pentagon Advisor Jim Rickards: 'China🇨🇳 Is SELLING US🇺🇸 Treasuries to Protect Its Own Currency and Banks.'

'The Chinese holdings of US Treasury securities are publicly available. The United States Treasury produces a monthly report and you can see exactly what is going down. It has been going down a little, not massively. Yes, they have been selling Treasuries.

They are selling Treasuries because they are desperate for dollars. People talk about the dollar as a reserve currency. There are no reserve currencies. There are reserve assets denominated in a currency. The reserve assets are US Treasury securities.

They are using that cash to prop up their own currency and to bail out their banks, which have dollar loans going into default.'

🚨Former Pentagon Advisor Jim Rickards on Strait of Hormuz Crisis: MASS STARVATION & INDUSTRIAL COLLAPSE Are Next.’

'The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 56 days. That's 20% of the world's oil and energy, and a high percentage of the world's liquid natural gas.

When the war started on February 28th, there were oil tankers already headed for South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and India. I call it a floating pipeline. That pipeline has now gone to zero.

Nine weeks in, we're going to start seeing refineries and industrial plants shut down. And this is not like throwing a switch you can turn back on. Even if the Persian Gulf opened tomorrow, which it will not, it could take weeks or months to get refineries going again.

For the Global South, the crisis runs deeper. They're heavily dependent on nitrates from the Persian Gulf for fertiliser. This is the planting season. If you can't fertilise the fields, you can't plant your crops. We're looking at potential mass starvation on top of industrial collapse.'

🚨Former Pentagon Advisor Jim Rickards: 'The US🇺🇸 and Russia🇷🇺 Are Building a Global Oil DUOPOLY.'

'Russia pivoted after 2022 sanctions and started selling oil to China instead of Germany. That relationship has expanded, but it is not big enough to replace what we are talking about: the oil tankers and seaborne cargoes.

China is even more vulnerable than the Persian Gulf situation suggests, because the United States has struck a very high-level military alliance with Indonesia, which controls the Strait of Malacca.

Trump may actually want the Strait of Hormuz closed. The United States has said that even if Iran declared free commerce tomorrow, the US Navy is still sitting there.

Look at the bigger picture. The United States has taken over Venezuelan oil. By extension, they have Guyana's oil. They are opening up Alaska, issuing oil and natural gas drilling permits as fast as they can and have taken control of the Panama Canal from China. The Strait of Hormuz is closed.

If you do not have oil from the Persian Gulf, you can pretty much only get it from the US and Russia.'

🚨Former Pentagon Advisor Jim Rickards: 'The BRICS Currency Is Called GOLD and Russia🇷🇺 Proved It Works.'

‘The BRICS have a currency. It is called gold. BRICS have the institutions. They replicated the Bretton Woods institutions on their own terms. They have the New Development Bank, which is the equivalent of the World Bank. They have a Contingent Reserve Fund, which is the equivalent of the IMF. They have built up their own payment channels.

If you want the yuan to be the global reserve currency, it has nothing to do with the currency itself. It has everything to do with the bond market. Show me the Chinese bond market. It scarcely exists.

Officially, India’s gold holdings are relatively modest compared to the United States, Russia and China. The big winner in gold is Russia. That is one of the ways they got through the Ukraine War sanctions. At the beginning of the war in Ukraine in 2022, Russia had about $600 billion in reserves. $150 billion of that was in physical gold bullion. That helped Russia weather the storm.

The US, EU and NATO seized about $200 billion of Russian reserve assets held in custody in Brussels. It was completely illegal, but they did it. It hurt Russia to some extent. But ironically, that seizure caused a run to the gold market.'
