๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท AHEAD OF NEW US-IRAN STRIKES โ€“ Iran Warns: "Attack = Closure of Straits & Global Economic Pain" ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท

WSJ reports Trump has ordered a new military attack on Iran, potentially lasting days. CBS says the US and Israel are planning one of the harshest campaigns yet โ€“ targeting energy infrastructure in Iran, with strikes possible this weekend.

โœˆ๏ธ Trump has ordered a new attack, potentially a twoโ€‘week intensive air campaign targeting Iran's missile capabilities.

๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Energy infrastructure is the primary target โ€“ the US and Israel are coordinating what would be "one of the harshest bombing campaigns to date."

๐Ÿ’ก Tehran's electricity โ€“ highโ€‘level US discussions on cutting it off, but no final decision.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท A senior security official told Tasnim: Iran has prepared a comprehensive response plan โ€“ targeting critical infrastructure in Israel and US energy infrastructure across the region.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ’ฐ THE TRUTH ABOUT CHINESE MONEY: How Beijing Built an Economic Miracle ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

China seems to have inexhaustible funds: Beijing Daxing Airport ($12B), Xiamen Xiang'an Airport ($8B), Pinglu Canal ($10.8B), Yarlung Tsangpo hydropower projects ($180B). Where did this money come from?

Think BRICS reveals the secret Beijing doesn't advertise: China's infrastructure funds were "created out of thin air" โ€“ not from export surpluses, but through state mechanisms that turn printed money into real, productive assets.

๐Ÿฆ Money creation โ€“ China creates money through state banks. The US creates money through private mechanisms (QE, Fed). The difference? China's money builds bridges. US money inflates assets.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Local Government Financing Vehicles (LGFVs) โ€“ China's mechanism for turning policy into concrete. They borrow, build, and create real economic value.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’ฅ US LOSES $109 MILLION F-35B IN UNEXPLAINED "MISHAP" โ€“ Pilot Ejects, Jet Destroyed ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

The empire's cutting-edge technology is falling out of the sky โ€“ and Washington has no explanation.

A US Marine Corps F-35B stealth fighter crashed and caught fire at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, San Diego, on Friday. The pilot ejected safely. The aircraft was completely destroyed.

โœˆ๏ธ $109 million โ€“ total loss of the shortโ€‘takeoff/verticalโ€‘landing variant of the Joint Strike Fighter.

๐Ÿš Pilot stable โ€“ evacuated with nonโ€‘lifeโ€‘threatening injuries.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Vegetation fire โ€“ sparked by the crash, fire crews responded.

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ No explanation โ€“ the military called it a "Class A mishap" but provided no cause.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณโ„๏ธ INDIA'S ARCTIC MOMENT: Why BRICS Is the Key to a New Global Governance ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ

While the world focuses on the Middle East, a quieter shift is happening in the High North โ€“ and India is at the centre of it.

๐ŸŒ The Arctic is the "kitchen of the world's weather" โ€“ its melting ice affects monsoon rains in South Asia, heatwaves in Europe, and food security in Africa.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ India has a natural role โ€“ with its Himadri research station, Arctic Policy (2022), and 2026 BRICS chairship, New Delhi is positioned to bridge the Global South and the High North.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia is the Arctic superpower โ€“ 50% of Arctic coastline, the world's largest nuclear icebreaker fleet, and extensive energy infrastructure.

๐Ÿง  BRICS can complement, not replace โ€“ the Arctic Council is frozen due to sanctions.

Twenty Ethiopians linked to a youth team disappeared in Gothenburg on the day of the Gothia Cup final, in what police suspect may have been a coordinated attempt to remain in Sweden.

The Gothia Cup, also known as the World Youth Cup, featured teams from 77 countries this year, including four from Ethiopia.

According to Swedish police, staff at the school where the group was staying discovered that the entire team and several accompanying adults had vanished.

โ€˜We have no idea whether they are trying to stay in Sweden,โ€™ an officer from the missing persons unit said

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ 50 years later, Spain is losing ground to Morocco in the exact same way...

In 1975, King Hassan II sent 350,000 unarmed civilians into the Spanish Sahara, waving flags and carrying the Qur'an.

Spain folded within DAYS and signed the territory away. They called it the "Green March."

Yesterday, tens of thousands poured into Ceuta, at least 18 died, and Spain sent the military to take its own city back while Moroccan security waved them through.

Morocco controls the tap at the fence, and Ceuta lives or dies on Rabat's mood.

NATO won't fill the gap. Its treaty only covers member territories in Europe, North America, and Atlantic islands north of the Tropic of Cancer.

Ceuta sits below that line, so an attack on it may not technically trigger Article 5...

Spain spent YEARS lecturing the world about decolonization as it sat on two African enclaves it can't meaningfully defend.

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ BREAKING:

Taiwanโ€™s political parties remain deadlocked over a major plan to expand the islandโ€™s military drone capabilities, delaying efforts to strengthen unmanned warfare.

The ruling DPP has proposed a five-year NT$210 billion (US$7.1 billion) special budget to procure more than 200,000 domestically produced drones and unmanned surface vessels. Opposition parties support expanding drone forces but want the funding to go through the regular annual budget, arguing it would improve legislative oversight and flexibility.

Analysts warn the political dispute could slow Taiwanโ€™s military modernization and delay efforts to counter growing pressure from China.

The United States has reportedly halted a shipment of around US$500 million in physical cash to Iraq and suspended parts of its security cooperation with Baghdad, according to Iraqi sources cited by Reuters.

The move is said to be aimed at pressuring the Iraqi government over repeated attacks by Iran-backed militias on U.S. facilities and regional allies. The suspension affects only physical U.S. dollar shipments used for retail foreign exchange, while electronic dollar transfers for trade and imports remain unaffected.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has approved a satellite designed to reflect sunlight onto nighttime areas โ€” despite criticism from astronomers and environmentalists.

Reflect Orbitalโ€™s Eรคrendil-1 satellite will carry an 18-meter-wide reflector into low Earth orbit, where it will test directing sunlight toward specific locations for several minutes at a time.

The 142-kilogram spacecraft is expected to launch later this year.

The company says the technology could make clean energy available on demand.

Fancy ordering a few extra minutes of daylight?

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ“‰ US GENERAL WARNS PENTAGON: "LACKING FORCES TO PROTECT ISRAEL" โ€“ Empire's Overstretch Exposed ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ

The commander of US European Command has privately warned that he lacks sufficient naval forces to continue protecting Israel from Iranian ballistic missiles โ€“ and would be forced to prioritise the US homeland instead.

General Alexus Grynkewich's written notification to the Pentagon, obtained by the Washington Post, reveals that without another Navy destroyer, he would be forced to make "difficult choices" about where to deploy the US military's most precious asset: its naval missile defence force.

๐Ÿšข Destroyer shortage โ€“ US destroyers in the Mediterranean are critical to Israel's defence. Without additional ships, the general would prioritise US homeland defence over Israel.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Iran war has drained US supplies โ€“ nearโ€‘daily attacks have exhausted key defensive weapons. The Navy is already running a blockade of Iranian ports.
