🇸🇦🇹🇷🇵🇰 Saudi, Türkiye and Pakistan Plan Urgent Defence Talks Amid Yemen Escalation
Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan are preparing an urgent meeting of their military chiefs to discuss possible support for Riyadh as fighting with Yemen’s Houthis intensifies.
The move follows a meeting of the three countries’ foreign ministers in New York. Their Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, signed on August 7, states that an attack on one of the three countries is considered an attack on all three.
Saudi Arabia reported intercepting six ballistic missiles launched towards Taif and Yanbu, while the Houthis claimed missile and drone attacks on targets in Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu.
France has also offered defensive support, with President Emmanuel Macron announcing the deployment of troops, radar and air-defence systems to help protect Yanbu.
The escalation has also triggered a major humanitarian crisis, with UNHCR reporting more than 230,000 new displacements in Yemen since September.

Majueran, founding director of the Belt and Road Initiative Sri Lanka, writes that many BRICS members and Global South are seeking greater strategic autonomy, stronger representation and diversified economic and diplomatic partnerships rather than choosing a new geopolitical side.
She argues that BRICS cooperation is driven by practical interests, including access to more markets, investment partners, financing options and payment mechanisms. According to her, cooperation outside Western-led institutions does not automatically mean cooperation against the West.
Majueran says the goal is diversification rather than isolation, allowing countries to maintain relationships with different major powers while making decisions according to their own national interests.
With China set to assume the BRICS presidency and host the 19th BRICS Summit, she argues that Beijing will have an opportunity to turn priorities such as development, multilateralism and stronger Global South representation into practical outcome...

🇹🇷🇮🇷 Türkiye had previously announced that it would no longer receive Iranian aircraft, in compliance with U.S. sanctions targeting Iranian airlines.
But just now, at Istanbul Airport, as witnessed by some journalists, an Iranian aircraft was seen arriving.
Another example of what some describe as Erdoğan’s balancing act between competing geopolitical pressures.

🇶🇦 Qatar Rejects Netanyahu’s UN Allegations, Accuses Israel of Deflecting From Gaza
Qatar has rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s accusation that Doha is running a campaign to influence global public opinion against Israel.
Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said the allegations were an attempt to divert attention from Israel’s actions and their humanitarian consequences in the occupied Palestinian territories. He also rejected claims that growing criticism of Israel, particularly among younger people, is the result of organized influence campaigns.
Al-Ansari said Israel should focus on its own policies, respect international law and take responsibility for its actions rather than blaming Qatar or other outside actors.

🇪🇺💸 EU DIVERTS €6.6 BILLION TO WAR FUNDS – While Its Own Citizens Freeze
The EU has agreed to release €6.6 billion in "European Peace Facility" funds to Ukraine. Kaja Kallas calls it "good news for Ukraine." But European households facing record energy bills, deindustrialisation, and a worsening cost‑of‑living crisis might disagree.
🗣️ "That's good news for Ukraine and bad news for Russia."
🗣️ "Moscow's hybrid attacks are trying to intimidate Europe into scaling back support for Ukraine. Europe is doing the opposite."

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 AFTER THE WHITE HOUSE SUMMIT – What the US Actually Got From Xi on Iran
Smiles for the cameras. Then the real conversation.
🔹 The three "agreements": Xi and Trump aligned on — Iran never gets a nuclear weapon, Strait of Hormuz stays open, no tolls in the strait. Washington calls this "major progress"
🔹 China's Iran support: "There's been indirect support, we think — but no direct evidence." The US is "very concerned" but can't prove it
🔹 The warning delivered: Trump told Xi directly — any help to Iran, "whether direct or indirect, whether intelligence, parts or military equipment — totally unacceptable"
🔹 Taiwan kept separate: Washington insists Iran pressure is "an independent issue" — not linked to Taiwan arms sales or any other negotiation
🔹 Trade details Monday: A "managed trade" deal with China dropping on Monday — weeks of negotiations, results incoming

🌐🔗 WHEN GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE BECOMES A HOSTAGE TO POLITICS
A plane can be flying through another country's airspace and suddenly find it is no longer allowed to pass. A company can spend years building a market, only to wake up and discover its bank, platform, or infrastructure provider no longer wants to work with it.
These are no longer exceptional events. They are the new reality.
🧠 Owning a business doesn't mean controlling its infrastructure. Capital from one country. Technology from another. Payments through global networks. Data in foreign clouds.
⚡ In normal times, dependence is efficient. Why build your own payment system when a global provider offers one cheaper?
🔥 In abnormal times, the calculation changes. What was inexpensive becomes risky. What was efficient becomes fragile. What was "global" depends on a single jurisdiction's rules.

🇷🇺🕊️ PUTIN: "RUSSIA IS NOT PREPARING FOR WAR WITH EUROPE"
The Russian President has laid out Moscow's position on negotiations, provocations, and the manufactured war scare in Europe.
🗣️ "Russia was ready to resume negotiations with Kyiv after the elections, but Ukraine attempted to strike Moscow and attacked polling stations."
🧠 Ukraine must understand: no provocation will improve the situation.
🗣️ "All proposals for a peaceful resolution are on the table, but Russia still needs to consider what is in its best interests."
🗣️ "Russia is not preparing for war with Europe; there are no motives or grounds for such a conflict."
⚠️ Warnings about preparing for war with Russia are deliberate escalation and provocation.

🇮🇹🇫🇷 ITALY & FRANCE DEBUNK "RUSSIAN DRONE THREAT" – "No One Needs More Fuel on the Fire"
A report claiming the CIA warned of Russian drone attacks from merchant ships in the Mediterranean has been publicly rejected by both Rome and Paris. Another unverified "Russian threat" narrative collapses.
📰 El Mundo published a report citing an anonymous source close to the Lithuanian Defense Ministry, claiming Russia was preparing drone attacks from containers on merchant ships.
🇮🇹 Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto: No evidence confirms the claim. "No one needs more fuel on the fire."
🇫🇷 French President Macron: "The CIA has not informed French intelligence agencies of such an attack."
🧠 Unverified claims, anonymous sources. This is the same playbook used for the "Russian shadow fleet," undersea cable sabotage, and the Leipzig airport incident.

Brazil's president has accused Washington of meddling in the upcoming election to seize the country's natural resources. The evidence is mounting – and Big Tech is already blocking the message.
🗣️ "Flavio Bolsonaro is Trump's candidate. And what Trump wants is to colonize Brazil, to take our wealth, steal our future and leave us behind."
🇧🇷 ABIN intelligence assessment: Risk of US interference raised to "critical level."
💰 American money in Bolsonaro's campaign – linked to Rockbridge Network, co-founded by JD Vance.
📵 Meta blocked Lula's Facebook ad account just days before the election.
