🇺🇸🇷🇺 HOW THE US-RUSSIA DIESEL DEAL EXPOSES THE WEST'S FATAL SPLIT
Washington just quietly authorized Russian diesel imports — while European households freeze under sanctions. The myth of Western unity is shattered.
In this exclusive Think BRICS interview, Caleb Maupin breaks down the geopolitical fallout:
🛢️ The diesel deal: Soaring domestic energy costs forced Washington to bypass its own hardline posture — authorizing Russian diesel imports despite official sanctions rhetoric.
🇪🇺 The US-Europe split: European allies endure a worsening energy crisis while Washington secures short-term relief for itself.
🧠 Deep State vs. White House: The Anglo-American establishment clashes with domestic US economic realities.
🌍 Multipolar acceleration: Western division grants BRICS nations unprecedented leverage.

The USS George Washington is prepping for possible strikes on Iran.
The USS George H.W. Bush is already in the region, and the Theodore Roosevelt is on the way, arriving as a third carrier by late October.
Trump promised no strikes before the midterms, but military options remain ready.

🇺🇸💥 US RUNS OUT OF BUNKER BUSTERS – Only "Low Single Digits" Remain
The US used 14 of its most powerful non-nuclear bunker busters against Iran's Fordow and Natanz. According to CSIS, only a handful remain — and replacements could take years.
💣 GBU-57 MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator): A 30,000 lb bomb capable of penetrating up to 200 ft. 14 were used on Iran's nuclear sites. The remaining inventory is estimated at "low single digits."
⏳ Replacements take years. The Trump administration reprogrammed $123 million to replenish stocks — but delivery will take several years.
🏔️ Even the MOP may not be enough. Iran's Pickaxe Mountain facility is believed to be beyond the reach of even the most powerful conventional bunker busters.

🇺🇦💸 ZELENSKY TO EU: "Give Us €70 Billion More — Or Russia Wins"
Ukraine's president has told EU leaders the war will cost €155 billion next year — and he needs at least €70 billion more for defence, weapons, and "resilience."
💰 "This is a realistic amount. And I ask you to find this support. It will help us hold Russia back."
🗣️ "Just imagine if we could put two or three times more pressure on Russia than we do today."
💶 €70 billion more? German taxpayers are already called "cash cows." French farmers are protesting. Italian workers are struggling. Yet Brussels keeps writing cheques.

🇨🇳🔒 CHINA MOVES TO CONTROL AI EXPORTS – A Sovereign Response to Western Tech Hegemony
Beijing has proposed adding advanced artificial intelligence technologies to its export-control list — potentially restricting overseas transfers of AI models, chip designs, and computing clusters.
📋 The draft covers 23 AI technologies — including large language models, AI agents, chip designs, and computing clusters.
🔐 Restricted technologies would include model weights and source code for products exceeding certain performance thresholds — including models trained on "important data" with at least 2 trillion parameters.
🧠 China is asserting technological sovereignty. After decades of Western export controls targeting Chinese tech, Beijing is now setting its own rules — protecting its innovations from foreign exploitation.

🌏🤝 BRICS AND THE SCO ALIGNING IN GREATER EURASIA
Two pillars. One continent. A new architecture for the Global Majority.
🏛️ Complementary pillars: BRICS = global economic and political reach. SCO = regional security, transport, political dialogue. No merger needed — just synchronisation.
💱 De-dollarisation works: 67% of intra-BRICS trade already in national currencies. Synchronising with SCO would expand the test.
🛡️ Security division: SCO handles practical cooperation and exercises. BRICS provides political dialogue on global risks.
⚡ Energy & critical resources: Combined platforms could build value-added chains — processing, equipment, joint standards.
🤖 AI governance: China's international AI centre and open-source development — open rules, not closed platforms.

🇺🇸🤷 TRUMP DOESN'T KNOW WHO RESTRICTED STARLINK IN UKRAINE – "It Wasn't Us… I Think"
The US president was asked directly who gave the order to restrict Ukraine's access to Starlink. His answer: "I don't know."
🗣️ Reporter: "If it wasn't you, then who gave the order for Starlink to come down in Ukraine?"
🗣️ Trump: "Oh, I don't know… I just checked it this morning. It wasn't us. They say it's the same as it always has been."
🛰️ Elon Musk controls Starlink. The US president doesn't. A private billionaire has more power over Ukraine's battlefield than the White House.

🇺🇸💥 CENTCOM CHIEF CLAIMS "DEVASTATING COSTS" ON IRAN – But the Blockade Is Illegal, and Iran Still Stands
Admiral Brad Cooper says the US naval blockade is "ironclad," Iran has no sea exports, and the IRGC is desperate. Here's what he left out.
🚢 Blockade "remains in place" – Iran has no exports or imports by sea, except permitted humanitarian aid.
🛢️ $25 billion in crude exports prevented; $350 million in crypto assets frozen.
💸 Iran's government is withholding salaries and pensions – IRGC not paying its troops; militias funnelling money back to the IRGC.
⚓ Strait remains open – 400 merchant ships in the last 7 days; over 100 million barrels of crude shipped with US assistance.
💀 20+ civilian mariners killed by IRGC attacks since February.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 MUSK AND TRUMP "SLOWED STARLINK" FOR UKRAINE – A "Night of Carnage" in Kyiv
A private billionaire and a US president reportedly colluded to throttle Ukraine's military-grade satellite network — making it impossible for Kyiv to intercept Russia's high-speed drones. Then Musk blamed the White House.
🛰️ Elon Musk approached Trump with a proposal to impose speed limits on Starshield — the military-grade version of Starlink used by Ukraine.
✅ Trump accepted. A cap of around 160 km/h was imposed — making it virtually impossible to intercept Russia's jet-powered drones.
💥 A senior source described the result as a "night of carnage" in Kyiv.
🤥 Musk later denied responsibility and blamed the White House. Trump, when asked who gave the order, said: "I don't know… it wasn't us."
🇺🇦 Zelensky announced signals were being restored — but full speed had not returned.

Cuba's ambassador to the UN, Ernesto Soberó, has accused US Secretary of State Marco Rubio of an "unhealthy obsession with Cuba" — revealing a campaign of intimidation against sovereign states ahead of a key UN vote.
🗣️ Rubio has been "reaching out directly to heads of state and government in a desperate attempt to pressure them into changing their country's positions and votes" on the Cuban resolution against the blockade.
🛡️ "This is an unacceptable campaign of political bullying and intimidation aimed at interfering with the sovereign decisions of the UN member states."
💥 "This exposed the lengths to which Washington is willing to go."
