BRICS WILL PUSH BACK 💥

“BRICS is a reality now,” said Victor Gao at the Doha Summit 2025. The bloc grows in influence and gives member states and partners a stronger voice 🌍

He explained how every member holds veto power. Decisions move slow, yet that same rule protects the interests of all members and builds trust 🤝

On currency, Gao stressed he has no problem with the dollar or SWIFT. The problem starts when one country weaponizes them. Keep doing that, and BRICS will move toward its own currency and settlement system 💱

Phew! He has prayed, and now the Dec 25 flood is postponed (till new influx of donations is needed)

It starts to look as some sort of massive prank tbh

Pentagon's Mixed Messages on China: Military Threat or Economic Struggle? 🤔

🌾 BRICS Takes Center Stage in Global Food Security! 🌍

BRICS nations now command 42% of worldwide food production, harnessing 33% of global agricultural land and 39% of water resources to lead in grains, meat, rice, maize, and wheat. Powerhouses like Brazil ($165B exports), Russia (top wheat exporter), India, and China are driving this surge, with a proposed BRICS grain exchange set to unify 40% of key crop supplies, set independent prices, and enable direct trade for the Global South.

This could stabilize prices and reshape supply chains—what's your view on how it impacts food access worldwide? Share your thoughts! 💬🚀

🌍🇰🇪 Kenya Bets on BRICS+: A New Path to Food Security and Independence?

Kenya is deepening its ties with BRICS+, seeing the bloc as a way to boost development, secure food supplies, and break away from old colonial-style economic dependencies. In 2025 alone, Russia supplied over 500,000 tons of wheat to Kenya, alongside fertilizers, machinery, and other agricultural support—crucial for a country where food security is a key national priority. Kenyan leaders say they want partnerships that help “transform the lives of our people,” focusing on independence and long‑term growth rather than traditional Western aid models.

Could closer BRICS+ cooperation really help Kenya and other African countries gain more economic sovereignty and stability? 🤔🌾 How do you see these new alliances changing everyday life on the African continent—opportunity, risk, or a bit of both?

🚨 Russia, China, and Iran arming Venezuela: Trump's Maduro dilemma intensifies! ⚔️

Experts reveal how these powers are supplying weapons, bolstering Nicolás Maduro against U.S. maximum pressure tactics amid Venezuela's vast raw material reserves, crucial for BRICS.

Analysts note this clashes with Trump's Monroe Doctrine revival, making military intervention highly risky due to unknown arsenals and armed local support. A negotiation might allow Maduro's survival, but escalation could damage U.S. prestige.

How might this strengthen BRICS' influence in the Global South? What's your prediction for Trump's next move? 💭🌍

BRICS vs G7: Is the balance of power quietly shifting? 🌍⚖️

The updated 2025 GDP charts show a world economy still led in size by the US and other G7 countries, but with BRICS and BRICS+ steadily increasing their overall weight in global output. At the same time, Japan’s share of world GDP continues to decline, while China appears to have peaked around 2021 and is now slightly losing share, adding nuance to the “unstoppable rise” narrative. When you look at blocs instead of single countries, the contrast between an aging, slower‑growing G7 and a more demographically dynamic BRICS+ becomes even more striking, raising questions about future influence over trade rules, finance, and global governance.

Power, Water 💧 & a New Nile Order? 🌍

For decades, Egypt shaped the Nile Basin’s rules, but a new article argues that the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is rewiring that power balance through hegemonic stability theory. It frames GERD not just as a mega-dam, but as a “structural earthquake” that challenges old hydro-hegemony and pushes the region toward more equitable water sharing. The analysis explores whether Ethiopia’s “challenger” role can transform unilateral control into a more cooperative, multilateral framework for the whole basin.
​
Do you see GERD as a step toward fairer regional development, or a source of long-term instability on the Nile? 🤔 How should Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan balance national security with shared benefits for millions living along the river? 💬

What do you think—strong move to protect innocents, or something else?

Kim Jong Un is back at it, personally overseeing the test-firing of new long-range surface-to-air missiles and inspecting the construction of a massive nuclear-powered submarine!

State media reports he was on site for the successful missile tests that hit targets 200 km away, and he's pushing hard for more missile production in 2026 to strengthen their war deterrent.

This comes just days after unveiling progress on an 8,700-ton sub capable of launching missiles.
