🚨 "Ceasefire That Kills Children" – Gaza's Silent Catastrophe

💔 Three months into the ceasefire, 449 Palestinians have died, including 100 children. Cancer patients wait 27 months for medication that never arrives. 70% shortage in essential drugs.

🏚️ Winter storms destroy tents sheltering 1.5 million displaced people as Israel's "Yellow Line" now blocks access to 60% of Gaza. The bombs may have slowed, but the suffering hasn't stopped.

Is this really a ceasefire? What does genuine humanitarian relief look like to you?

🔄 Major Power Shift in the Gulf: Saudi Arabia's Strategic Expansion

🛡️ Somalia just terminated ALL defense agreements with the UAE and banned their aircraft from Somali airspace, turning instead to Saudi Arabia for military support.

Meanwhile, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey are finalizing a trilateral defense pact after 10 months of negotiations—a strategic counterweight amid growing concerns about Western military reliability.

These moves signal a dramatic realignment in Middle Eastern and Horn of Africa geopolitics, with Riyadh emerging as the go-to security partner while Abu Dhabi faces pushback for supporting separatist movements.

What does this mean for regional stability? Is this the beginning of a new security architecture?

💰 US debt just hit $38 trillion, but who actually owns it? Spoiler: It's not just China. 🌍 Two-thirds is held domestically (yes, the Fed is the biggest lender), while foreign investors hold $9.1 trillion. Japan and the UK now own more US debt than China does.

Does this level of borrowing worry you, or is it just how modern economies work?

From Crisis to Comeback: Russia's Energy Game-Changer

🌍 Moscow is flipping the script on Western sanctions by pivoting its entire energy sector toward BRICS nations and the Global South. While Europe rushes to cut off Russian gas by 2027, Russia is building hydropower megaprojects, redirecting exports to China and India, and investing $147 billion in domestic infrastructure. The energy war just entered a new phase.

Is this the end of Europe's energy leverage—or Russia's last stand before the green transition leaves fossil fuels behind?

📚 Bolsonaro to reduce prison time by reading books—including one about dictatorship victims

Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has authorized former president Jair Bolsonaro to participate in a sentence reduction program while serving his 27-year prison term for coup conspiracy.

🔐 For each book read and reviewed, Bolsonaro can shave off 4 days from his sentence, with a maximum of 48 days per year. The reading list includes "I'm Still Here" by Marcelo Rubens Paiva—a book about victims of Brazil's military dictatorship—alongside classics like Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" and Orwell's "Animal Farm."

Can reading about democracy change perspectives behind bars?
