🇿🇦 RAMAPHOSA REFUSES TO RESIGN: “I Have Not Stolen Public Money, Committed Any Crime, or Violated My Oath”

South Africa’s president fights back against a flawed impeachment process – insisting he will not be pushed out by a “constitutionally invalid” parliamentary panel report.

🏛️ The Constitutional Court ruled that parliament’s earlier vote not to proceed with impeachment was unconstitutional – but made no finding on whether Ramaphosa committed misconduct.

🗣️ Ramaphosa: “Nothing in the court’s judgment compels me to resign. I will seek judicial review of the panel report on an expeditious basis.”

💰 The scandal involves an alleged 580,000 theft from his private farm.

🛡️ Ramaphosa denies wrongdoing: “I have consistently maintained that I have not stolen public money, committed any crime, nor violated my oath of office.”

🇮🇱⚔️ ISRAELI SOLDIERS JAILED FOR DESECRATING VIRGIN MARY STATUE

Two IDF soldiers received 21 and 14 days in military prison for placing a cigarette in a statue’s mouth. Another soldier smashed a statue of Jesus Christ last month, getting 30 days.

The IDF says it “respects freedom of religion.” But is this justice – or a performance?

📸 Photo surfaced of an Israeli soldier hugging a statue of the Virgin Mary in the Christian village of Debel, southern Lebanon, with a cigarette in the statue’s mouth.

🏛️ The soldier posing and the one filming received 21 and 14 days in military prison.

💔 Last month, another soldier smashed the head of a statue of Jesus Christ in the same village – 30 days in prison.

🕊️ The incidents occurred amid IDF operations in southern Lebanon, where a ceasefire has failed to stop fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 TRUMP FLIES TO BEIJING – BUT WHO’S ACTUALLY DESPERATE?

Think BRICS sits down with Beijing‑based investment expert Jian Lian for a reality check on the Trump‑Xi summit – and the answer may surprise you.

In this exclusive interview, Jian dismantles the Western media narrative:

🔥 Trump “needs a show” – “All the promises, all the so‑called deals done by Trump have no meaning.”

🇨🇳 China’s oil resilience – Jian argues China may be “the strongest, most resilient country in the world” to oil shocks (EVs, renewables, strategic reserves).

💴 Yuan internationalisation accelerates – Explicit policy shifts in China’s 15‑year plan; a recent US‑China sanction showdown marks a milestone in confronting dollar dominance.

🤝 BRICS new members – Ethiopia, Egypt, UAE, Indonesia are not just “leverage chips.” China’s “spoke‑and‑wheel” model creates real responsibilities.

🚨🇷🇺 BREAKING: Russia says the Sarmat missile is ready.

Putin just hailed it as
“the most powerful missile in the world.”

A nuclear-capable weapon.
A reported range of over 35,000km.
And a direct message to the West.

Moscow says the Sarmat can bypass all existing missile defense systems.

Not just today’s systems.

Future ones too.

The timing is impossible to ignore.

The last major nuclear arms treaty between Russia and the United States has already expired.

No limits.
No real constraints.
And trust between both sides is collapsing faster than diplomacy can keep up.

For years,
Russia warned that Western missile shields would eventually destroy the strategic balance.

Now,
the Kremlin says this is its answer.

A new generation of weapons.
Hypersonic systems.
Nuclear underwater drones.
Intercontinental missiles built for a world entering a more dangerous phase.

The Cold War may be over.

But the nuclear competition clearly is not.

🚨🇺🇦 Ukraine’s front lines are no longer facing only an ammunition crisis.

Now,
there is a growing food crisis too.

Photos of severely emaciated Ukrainian soldiers shocked social media after reports claimed some troops went up to 17 days without food deliveries.
Some survived on rainwater.

The drone war has changed everything.

What once relied on supply trucks,
armoured vehicles,
and connected trenches,
now depends heavily on drones flying through constant danger.

Food,Water,Medicine, Even generators.Everything must now be delivered through the air.

But many drones never make it. Some are intercepted.Some are destroyed before reaching isolated positions.

Modern warfare is turning front-line soldiers into stranded outposts fighting to survive day by day.

This is no longer only a battle for territory. It is a battle against exhaustion.
Against isolation.
Against hunger itself.

And according to reports, soldiers on both the Ukrainian and Russian sides are now struggling with severe supply shortages...
