🇧🇩🇨🇳🇵🇰 Bangladesh’s possible purchase of Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Block III fighter jets is raising alarm in India.
The move could turn Bangladesh into a new frontline in the growing India-China-Pakistan rivalry.
Why it matters:
🔸 Pakistan has reportedly transferred a fully operational JF-17 simulator to Bangladesh
🔸 The jets would replace Dhaka’s aging MiG-29 and F-7 fleet
🔸 India fears increased pressure near the strategic Siliguri Corridor linking its northeast
🔸 Analysts say the deal would deepen Bangladesh’s military dependence on China and strengthen Dhaka-Islamabad ties after Sheikh Hasina’s fall
Bangladesh may not challenge India’s air dominance —
but it could complicate New Delhi’s military calculations across the eastern flank.

🇺🇸 New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a major housing plan targeting wealthy neighborhoods that have added little new housing despite the city’s worsening housing shortage.
The plan includes zoning reforms to allow more homes near public transit and faster approval processes in areas with the lowest affordable housing production.
Mamdani said many high-income neighborhoods are blocking growth, keeping rents high and limiting housing access for working families.
NYC’s rental vacancy rate has fallen to just 1.4% the lowest in over 50 years.
The mayor aims to build 200,000 affordable homes over the next decade while also preserving existing housing and expanding affordable homeownership.

🇷🇺 Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says Moscow has not yet seen any response from Washington after Russia warned that “systematic strikes” on Kyiv’s defense industry sites are beginning.
Peskov clarified that “systematic” does not necessarily mean daily strikes, but confirmed Russia’s warning remains its priority message.
The Kremlin also announced that President Vladimir Putin is preparing for a state visit to Kazakhstan starting tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Russia confirmed Alexander Shokhin will become the country’s new business ombudsman under a revised non-governmental structure.

Imagine traveling across the world just to vandalize ancient rock formations
Federal investigators and tribal leaders are investigating vandalism at Arizona’s Cathedral Rock after tourists were filmed carving deep scratches into the protected Sedona landmark
Authorities say the damage was discovered on the iconic red sandstone formation, which is considered sacred by several Native American communities and protected under federal regulations
Video from the scene shows names and markings being carved directly into the rock by a group identified by eyewitnesses as tourists visiting from India - but this is not a confirmed fact
The incident has triggered backlash online and renewed calls for stricter enforcement against vandalism at protected natural and cultural sites

It’s a trap!
A group of mostly male police officers went undercover as a female dance troupe to catch a suspected dg dealer in Thailand
While performing for the suspect, the officers slowly surrounded him as he appeared completely distracted by the show
After the arrest, the cross-dressing cops posed for photos in sparkly dresses and proudly shared them online
The suspect was found carrying 53 mth pills, over 200 drg bags for distribution, and a mobile phone
Apparently this isn’t the first time Thai police have used wild disguises during undercover operations

🇺🇸☠️ WEST PLANNING TO USE FORMER ISIS MILITANTS AGAINST IRAN – FSB Chief 🚨
Russian Federal Security Service chief Aleksandr Bortnikov warns: Western spy agencies are moving former Islamic State militants from Syrian prisons to special camps in Iraq – with the intention of using them as a proxy force against Iran.
🧨 “The history of Islamic State began with similar Iraqi prison complexes under Western coalition protection,” Bortnikov said.
🌍 The released jihadists include individuals from CIS countries – a direct threat to their home nations.
🔥 “The escalation of the Iranian conflict and the involvement of an increasing number of parties is threatening to destabilize the entire Islamic world.”
The West created ISIS once. Now, it seems, they want a repeat – this time aimed at Tehran.

🇨🇿💥 CZECH “AMMO COALITION” FOR UKRAINE LOSES HALF ITS BACKERS – A Quiet Admission of Failure
Nine countries have pulled out. The scheme raised only €1.4 billion of a €5 billion target. And Ukraine has largely replaced artillery with drones anyway.
📉 18 countries signed up in 2024 – now only about 9 are contributing financially.
🎯 The initiative delivered up to 50% of Ukraine’s large‑calibre ammo – but fell dramatically short of targets.
🇨🇿 Czech PM Andrej Babis audited the program, cut Czech funding, citing lack of transparency and billions flowing to unknown beneficiaries.
🤖 By end of 2025, Ukrainian forces had replaced artillery with one‑way attack drones on most fronts.
The bottom line: Western promises, Western shortfalls. The “shell hunger” was never satisfied – and the money trail is murky.

What would you do if you found millions of dollars floating towards you?
A Florida man stumbled onto a bizarre discovery after spotting bundles of cash worth millions of dollars floating near a beach in Fort Lauderdale
Instead of disappearing into the sunset with it, he pulled the money ashore and immediately contacted police so authorities could take over the investigation. Actually sounds like a smart move taking it was in broad daylight and there were a lot of witnesses
Officials are now trying to determine where the cash came from and how it ended up drifting through the ocean, with the mystery already fueling wild speculation online

🇮🇷📉 ECONOMIC WARFARE AGAINST IRAN: A 16‑YEAR STUDY – The Biggest Failure the West Won’t Admit
Sanctions were supposed to collapse the regime. Instead, they enriched the IRGC, crushed the middle class, and accelerated the global pivot away from the dollar.
This BRICS Business documentary reveals the data the West ignores:
💸 The “sanctions pump” – wealth moved from 23 million workers into the shadow economy.
📈 Parastatal growth (Bonyads) increased 44% more efficiently under pressure – than the formal sector.
🔁 The BRICS pivot – de‑dollarization is real. Yuan and ruble are replacing USD.
❌ JCPOA withdrawal, SWIFT exclusion, maximum pressure – all failed.
“The data does not show collapse. It shows adaptation – and the West’s coercive architecture is becoming obsolete.”

🇷🇺🌍 RUSSIA BACKS AFRICAN REPARATIONS – Lavrov: “Support Second Awakening of Africa”
At an Africa Day reception in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov endorsed the continent’s push for reparations from former colonial powers – framing it as a struggle against modern neocolonialism.
🗣️ Lavrov: Former colonial powers still profit from Africa’s resources while its wealth flows through foreign‑controlled systems.
🇺🇳 A recent UN resolution recognised the transatlantic slave trade as the “gravest crime against humanity” – 123 votes in favour, US, Israel, Argentina against, UK and EU abstained.
🤝 Moscow supports the African Union’s campaign for “justice for Africans through reparations.”
🏛️ Russia has opened embassies in Niger, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan; more planned.
📅 The third Russia‑Africa Summit will be held in Moscow in October, with a new three‑year cooperation roadmap expected.

The Trump administration has delivered a quiet shock to European allies: fewer jets, warships, and drones for NATO – and no American submarines or drones at all. The message: you’re on your own.
✈️ US to cut fighter jets available to NATO by a third – plus significant reductions in strategic bombers and warships.
🚫 No American submarines or drones will be provided to the NATO Force Model.
🇪🇺 European members were “shocked” – they expected minor cuts, not a drastic scaling back.
⏳ US expects Europeans to have a plan to fill the gap before the July Ankara summit.
