India’s 2026 BRICS summit delivers the BRICS+ outreach momentum
The BRICS summit in India in 2026 succeeded in providing the key deliverables related to the cohesion of the bloc and the objectives set by India’s presidency with respect to boosting BRICS economic cooperation at the micro-level of companies and key sectors.

Two days of dialogue, cooperation and shared purpose in New Delhi. 🇮🇳

The 18th BRICS Summit advanced a clear, actionable agenda for stronger multilateralism, more inclusive global governance and sustainable development—anchored in India’s 2026 Chairship theme: “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.”

Key outcomes include:
- Unanimous adoption of the 140-point New Delhi Declaration, covering terrorism, trade, UN reform, critical minerals and climate action.
- Concrete steps on renewable energy, clean-tech finance via the New Development Bank, and supply-chain resilience through a new BRICS Logistics Cooperation Framework.
- Renewed commitment to reforming global economic governance to better reflect the realities of emerging and developing economies.

As India hands the BRICS chair to China for 2027, the focus now shifts to turning these commitments into time-bound action and last‑mile impact.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇸🇦 SECRET MEETING EXPOSED: US, Israel & Arab Military Chiefs Plot Iran War Strategy in Germany

A clandestine summit of top military commanders from the US, Israel, and eight Arab nations was held last week in Germany – organized by CENTCOM chief Adm. Brad Cooper. No country announced it. The empire's war council met in the shadows.

🔴 Who was in the room:

🇺🇸 Adm. Brad Cooper (CENTCOM)

🇮🇱 IDF Chief of Staff Gen. Eyal Zamir

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia, 🇦🇪 UAE, 🇧🇭 Bahrain, 🇰🇼 Kuwait, 🇶🇦 Qatar, 🇯🇴 Jordan, 🇪🇬 Egypt

Note: Several of these countries don’t have diplomatic relations with Israel.

🛡️ Cooper reassured the group the US will not withdraw forces from the region despite Iranian attacks on US bases.

🤝 Since the Abraham Accords (2020), Israel was moved from EUCOM to CENTCOM – enabling military cooperation with Arab states under a single umbrella.

🇩🇪💸 GERMANY'S TOMAHAWK DREAM COLLAPSES: US War in Iran Blows Up Berlin's Missile Plans

Germany wanted US Tomahawk cruise missiles to project power. Instead, it got higher costs, years of delay, and a hard lesson: the empire's arsenal is empty — and its allies get whatever's left.

💰 Costs exploded: The Typhon launcher package is now nearly twice what Germany budgeted. Full procurement: €3.4 billion.

📅 Delays compound: First deliveries not expected before the early 2030s. Berlin's 2029 target is now "unachievable."

🗣️ Internal German documents: "Due to the number of Tomahawk missiles fired in the Iran conflict, combined with limited production capacity, no reliable assessment can currently be made" of delivery timelines.

🇺🇸 Trump admitted the reality: "We are taking the munitions for ourselves, the U.S.A., rather than selling them to others."

🇫🇷 FRANCE DEMANDS "LIBERATION" OF HORMUZ – While Its Own Red Sea Mission Fails

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has called for the Strait of Hormuz to be "liberated" – and convened an emergency UN Security Council meeting over Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.

🗣️ "I convened a meeting of the UN Security Council tonight. Regarding the Red Sea, we are already militarily present within a European mission called Aspides, which for two years has secured the passage of ships against Houthi attacks. And it works."

🛡️ He claimed all vessels escorted by French assets avoided casualties.

🇸🇦🇮🇱 SAUDI ARABIA'S DOUBLE GAME EXPOSED: Secret Coordination with Israel While Talking to Iran

Riyadh is playing both sides — and the mask is slipping.

🕵️ Saudi Arabia and Israel are in indirect contact through US CENTCOM — diplomatic and security sources confirm.

🛡️ Assistance is focused on protecting Saudi infrastructure — with Israel's air defence capabilities well known to Riyadh (Iron Dome in the UAE, Arrow 3 to Germany).

🗣️ An Israeli source: "Israel must weigh whether to expand this assistance to more kinetic areas."

💰 Former Mossad official Oded Eilam called it a "rare strategic opportunity" — offering intelligence and air defence in exchange for "an overt, signed and immediate peace."

🇷🇺⚡ RUSSIA TO G20: "We Cannot Be Shut Out of Global Energy" – A Direct Challenge to Sanctions Regime

At the G20 energy ministers' meeting in Houston, Russia's Energy Minister delivered a blunt message: sanctions cannot erase the world's largest energy supplier.

🗣️ "The objective reality is that our country cannot be excluded from global supply chains. Russia has been, is, and will remain a reliable supplier of energy resources and a guarantor of energy security."

🛢️ Russia holds the world's largest oil and gas reserves.

🏭 Ranked 5th globally in coal reserves and 4th in LNG production.

⚛️ Undisputed leader in nuclear tech — commanding approximately 90% of the global nuclear plant construction market.

🇰🇼🇮🇱 KUWAIT MAY JOIN ABRAHAM ACCORDS WITHIN SIX MONTHS – Israeli Envoy

Another Gulf state could normalize with Israel — but Kuwait's parliament and people are a different story.

🗣️ Israel's ambassador to the UAE, Yossi Shelley, told Kan news that Kuwait may join the Abraham Accords within six months.

🤝 He claimed the Emiratis are also working on closer cooperation.

🇰🇼 Kuwait has historically resisted normalization — unlike other Gulf monarchies, it has a powerful, elected parliament dominated by Islamists and Arab nationalists who oppose Israel's existence.

🇷🇺⚠️ KREMLIN AIDE TO POLAND: "Your Statehood Would Cease to Exist in 2–3 Days"

A stark warning from the Kremlin: if Poland attacks Russia, it will not survive the response.

🗣️ "If Poland were to enter military action against Russia, our country would employ the full arsenal of its available forces and resources, and Polish statehood would cease to exist within two or three days."

🎯 He dismissed Polish FM Sikorski's boast that NATO could defeat Russia "quite quickly" as an "amateurish view" of Russian military might.

🧠 Patrushev noted Moscow is not using its full potential in Ukraine — and warned Warsaw is forgetting the lessons of history.

Why is the Western media dead silent right now? 🤫🌐

Walk into the BRICS Summit press room, and you’ll notice something shocking.

No New York Times. No Daily Telegraph. No major mainstream Western networks.

Zero.

Why would the world’s biggest media outlets completely ignore a summit shaping the future of global economics?

Here is the truth:
- Nearly 90% of global mainstream news is controlled by a handful of Western media institutions.
- When a shifting global order focuses on win-win economic cooperation, financial sovereignty, and unconditional partnership—it directly threatens Western hegemony.
- They aren't ignoring BRICS because it doesn't matter.
- They are ignoring it because they don't want YOU to see that an alternative global system exists.

To break this media blackout, Global South nations must build direct media cooperation, share independent data, and bypass biased narratives.

The shift in global power isn't coming... it's already here. ⚡️
