๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐ŸŒ LAVROV'S UN MOMENT: A Roll Call of Western Hypocrisy, From Havana to Tehran

Russia's top diplomat just delivered a sweeping indictment of US foreign policy. And in doing so, he exposed a single, uncomfortable pattern: the empire's rules are written for other nations, never for itself.

ยท ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช On Venezuela: "We insist that the Venezuelan leader and his spouse be liberated immediately." A sovereign head of state, kidnapped and held in the US.

ยท ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท On Iran: "It is unacceptable, the fact that force was used to kill the supreme leader of Iran." Washington called it an "operation." The rest of the world calls it assassination.

ยท ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ On Cuba: "We insist the US lift its siege on the Island of Freedom." Remove Cuba from the "vile list of state sponsors of terrorism.

ยท ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ On Ukraine: "The objectives of our special military operation will be achieved, and threats to our security will be eliminated. Peace will reign again."

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ CHINA & US AGREE ON MILITARY CRISIS COMMUNICATION PACT โ€“ But Washington Stays Silent

After the Trump-Xi summit, Beijing announced a new military crisis-communication agreement. The White House hasn't confirmed it. The Pentagon hasn't either. Once again, China is leading on stability โ€“ while the US hesitates.

๐Ÿค China and the US agreed to pursue a military crisis-communication pact โ€“ a memorandum of understanding on "crisis communication and prevention" to be concluded "as soon as possible."

๐Ÿ“ž The agreement would build on existing consultation arrangements and senior communication channels โ€“ potentially giving commanders another mechanism to manage dangerous encounters.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ The proposed pact follows the first theatre-level contact in two years โ€“ Admiral Samuel Paparo (US Indo-Pacific commander) met General Yang Zhibin (PLA Eastern Theatre Command) in late August.
