Deputy Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Complained about the Improved Iskander OTRK Missiles en.topwar.ru/269682-zamglavy-g…

The media advisor for UNRWA confirmed in statements to Al-Araby TV that the agency rejects any participation in projects seeking to force Gaza’s residents into displacement, stressing that Israel’s plans are not limited to moving Palestinians to the south of the Strip but rather aim at expelling them outside Gaza.

He explained that Israel’s insistence on keeping tents in Rafah paves the way for what it calls a "humanitarian city," as part of efforts to restrict humanitarian work and force #UN agencies to operate through its channels.

He added that #UNRWA will not take part in any Israeli plan to establish areas supervised by the Israeli army in preparation for the displacement of Palestinians.

oh yeah for sure. it's a gap in the market that's been trying to be filled ever since the sony Tablet P but this is the first time that the actual idea was able to be fleshed out to something anyone would actually wanna use lmao
although the sony tablet P isn't a phone, it's the same general idea minus the outside screen and cellular connectivity

They say Stalin was paranoid, well, he may have had good reason. Rakovsky's assertion is that it was Trotsky who was to take over after Lenin, that Trotsky was an international revolutionary, that Stalin was a Bonapartist, subjecting the revolution to the State. That Hitler was financed to go to war against the Soviets to create a similar 1917 instability, allowing the Trotskyites to take over and thus initiate global communist revolution. Global communism is the goal of international finance.
in reply to Henhouse_Cockerel

What went wrong was that Stalin was able to exercise great maneuvering during the ailing Lenin's remaining time alive while Trotsky had gotten very sick himself and was unable to achieve the Cheneyesque bureaucratic slights of hand at this vulnerable time that Stalin accomplished.

So, in a very weird way, Stalin saved the world from communist revolution for decades. Under him, whatever State funding of international revolution was way below what the Trotskyites would have done.

“Knowing Russia’s treachery, we anticipate that in the coming days the Russian army may try to increase pressure and strikes against Ukrainian positions in order to create more favorable political circumstances for talks with global actors,” Zelensky said in a statement.

“Of course, we will counteract, if necessary, asymmetrically.”

This comes hours after President Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine are on the precipice of ending the years-long kinetic war that started under Biden.

Accused Minnesota Assassin Vance Boelter Calls Tim Walz as ‘Traitor to the American People,’ Claims Governor Pushed Chinese Influence and Government Control in Wild Rant

In a bombshell exclusive interview with the New York Post from behind bars, Boelter,57, branded Walz a “traitor to the American people” and accused him of cozying up to Communist China.

Boelter, currently incarcerated in the Sherburne County Jail, spoke to the New York Post via the facility’s internal messaging system.

The accused killer claimed he first met the governor when Walz “personally reappointed” him to Minnesota’s Workforce Development Council in 2019. He accused Walz of repeatedly praising China, quoting him as saying, “China was the future, China knows how to get things done, China knows how to control their people.”

Boelter further alleged Walz pushed socialist ideals, stating, “Tim would say stuff like everyone should be either working for the government, or be supported by the government.”

"He had not thought to control his dragon-incited emotions, and Lessa's first experience had been violent. ... He had been a careful and considerate lover ever since, but, unless Ramoth and Mnementh were involved, he might as well call it rape.

Yet he knew someday, somehow, he would coax her into responding wholeheartedly to his love-making. He had a certain pride in his skill, and he was in a position to persevere."

— Anne McCaffrey: Dragonflight (Corgi Science-Fiction), pp. 192-193

Does it get any better now that Lessa is the queen of the Dragonriders? No. No it does not.

August 16, 2025 @ 16:26 (!) Good afternoon family & friends❣️ After sleeping away most of the afternoon I thought I would stop by and say hello, since I can 😲! While I was here I decided to put up a meme post that I haven't done in a long time: Senior Saturday [chia.owly.net/senior-saturday-…]. I used to do them now and again but had forgotten about them...anyway, not sure how long it will be until sleep overtakes me again so I figured I'd better get right on it 😆! Also installed Ventusky on my tablet which I've been wanting to do for a while now, and did a quick scan of my social sites which was fun for a change! Now hoping I can spend some time on a few other things and have something to eat before sleep overtakes me yet again 😵‍💫, that would make this a much better day, and I will see you in the morning❣️🥱🙏🤕🛌

BRICS+: India Taps BRICS to Strengthen Energy
India, a major global oil consumer relying heavily on imports, has historically been susceptible to fluctuations in Western oil prices and geopolitical pressures

Tuesday, August 12, 2025

By Dr Iqbal Survé and Sesona Mdlokovana

India, a major global oil consumer relying heavily on imports, has historically been susceptible to fluctuations in Western oil prices and geopolitical pressures. This vulnerability, stemming from importing over 85% of its crude oil, exposed the nation to supply disruptions and external political factors. However, collaborative efforts within BRICS are now reshaping India's energy approach. Energy is evolving into a strategic tool for global influence, diminishing reliance on traditional markets and challenging established power dynamics. This shift marks a move away from mere commodity dependence toward a more geopolitically nuanced energy strategy.

Diversification through BRICS Partnerships

India has drastically increased its crude oil imports from Russia. As Western sanctions against Moscow intensified in 2023, Indian refineries leveraged discounted Russian oil. Consequently, Russia's share of India’s total oil imports surged from under 2% before the Ukraine war to over 40% by mid-2024. This wasn't a simple chance to save money; it symbolised a larger strategy to break away from supply chains and financial networks dominated by the West.

India's strengthening ties with Iran, a key energy provider in the Global South and recent BRICS addition, suggest a push to revitalise the stalled Chabahar Port project and restart oil imports previously stopped due to U.S. sanctions. BRICS collaboration provides a buffer against such unilateral limitations by promoting alternative trade methods, such as local currency settlements, the BRICS Pay system, and possible substitutes for SWIFT. These resources directly bolster India's energy independence.

The partnership between India and the UAE, a fellow BRICS member, holds significant importance. Abu Dhabi is not just a key oil provider, but also invests in India’s strategic petroleum reserves and related infrastructure. Further strengthening this robust South-South energy alliance, the UAE’s sovereign wealth funds have jointly invested in India's renewable energy projects, demonstrating a comprehensive collaboration spanning both conventional and clean energy sectors.

BRICS as a Platform for Energy Sovereignty

BRICS transcends a mere convenient alliance, rapidly evolving into a powerful instrument for its members to achieve energy sovereignty. The group's advocacy for dedollarisation, balanced global governance, and cooperation among developing nations is significantly altering the structure of the global energy sector. For India, this shift means a broader range of energy providers, advantageous trade arrangements, and increased independence in its energy-related international relations.

Established in 2015, the BRICS Energy Research Cooperation Platform has facilitated joint studies, technology exchanges, and policy dialogues that significantly contribute to India's energy planning. Notably, India hosted the BRICS Energy Dialogue in 2022, advocating for joint investments in upstream oil and gas exploration and South-South capacity building. This has led to tangible collaborative projects in Africa and Central Asia. In these regions, BRICS members, including Indian public sector undertakings such as ONGC Videsh, are jointly developing oil fields and refining infrastructure.

India's dedication to energy transition gains significant backing from BRICS. Notably, India collaborates with China and Brazil to promote solar energy through the International Solar Alliance. Moreover, BRICS' green finance instruments, such as the New Development Bank (NDB), are channeling funds into India's clean energy ventures. These include solar parks in Madhya Pradesh and wind energy farms in Gujarat.

Strategic Autonomy and Global Realignment

India's energy security is intrinsically tied to the broader geopolitical shift towards a multipolar world. The Global South, historically marked by unequal dependencies, is now asserting its strategic independence. BRICS plays a pivotal role in this transformation, providing India with political and economic stability against the pressure tactics of established powers. This is especially crucial during global disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic, sanctions, or financial crises.

While concerns exist that stronger energy partnerships with nations such as Russia or Iran could complicate India's relations with Western powers, India's foreign policy is driven by strategic autonomy, not non-alignment. Western nations must recognize that a self-assured Global South will not sacrifice its energy security to geopolitical maneuvers.

Energy as Empowerment

India's strategic energy realignment within BRICS signifies a profound move towards economic autonomy, not merely a simple shift. Through these alliances, India actively reduces price volatility, ensures stable, extended-term energy resources, and cultivates an energy sector that reflects both its developmental goals and its strategic position in global politics.

As the Global South's influence grows, BRICS establishes a framework for a fairer, more secure energy future, positioning India – with its significant population and development goals – as a key player. In an era of energy instability and geopolitical competition, BRICS presents India with strategic advantages, extending beyond mere oil resources.
