Rare red aurora seen from space after an extremely powerful geomagnetic storm. Cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov who filmed the footage says oxygen glows green around 100 km, but turns red much higher at 300–400 km, which is why red auroras are rare. This storm was strong enough to light up those upper layers, making it look like the station was floating inside the glow, visible even while flying over the Middle East

🌍 Putin Gets Trump’s Invite to “Board of Peace” — But Russia’s Studying Every Detail First!

🕵️‍♂️ President Vladimir Putin confirmed receiving a personal invitation from Donald Trump to join the U.S.-led “Board of Peace,” aimed at Gaza reconstruction and global conflict resolution — with invites also to leaders like Xi Jinping. Russia offered $1 billion from... its frozen U.S. assets 😁 but emphasized caution: Putin ordered the Foreign Ministry to thoroughly study the proposal, consult BRICS partners, and clarify all nuances before deciding.

🤔 Will Russia join this bold peace push, or stay independent to protect Global South interests? What’s your take?

🌍 EU–Mercosur deal hits another wall! After more than 20 years of talks, the long-awaited free trade agreement has been frozen once again — possibly for up to two years.

🗳 The European Parliament narrowly voted to send the deal to the EU Court of Justice, where judges will review whether it aligns with the bloc’s internal treaties. That decision alone delays ratification by 18–24 months.

💬 Is Europe ready to risk sidelining Latin America just as BRICS is gaining momentum across the Global South? What does this say about the West’s credibility as a trade partner today?

🌎 Mexico Takes the Silver Crown!

💰 Mexico now leads global silver production — ahead of China and Peru — showing how the Global South continues to shape today’s resource markets. Silver isn’t just jewelry; it powers solar panels, electronics, and the renewable future itself.

🌍 Latin America and Asia dominate supply chains not through size, but through strategic mining — and that’s redefining industrial influence across developing economies.

💬 Could the silver industry become the next frontier where Global South nations reclaim economic power from the West?

Here’s How Russia Should Deal with Trump’s New America
In recent years we have become accustomed to a great deal, yet world politics continues to set new records. Or perhaps sink to new depths, depending on your taste. One week in January provided a full set of examples: the kidnapping of Venezuela’s presidential couple by US special forces; the tightening of a naval blockade through the seizure of foreign ships; and threats to take Greenland from Denmark “by any means necessary.” Add to this the American president’s public remark that the...  Read more »

🌍 Belarus joins Trump’s Peace Council—without paying a cent?

🕊 President Alexander Lukashenko announced that Belarus officially signed on to join Donald Trump’s proposed “Council for Peace,” emphasizing that joining costs nothing for the first three years. He dismissed reports of a $1 billion fee as “lies,” claiming that only nations wishing to stay beyond that period might pay if they don’t meet performance standards.

💬 Lukashenko says the initiative could extend efforts to Gaza and Ukraine, aiming to foster dialogue rather than conflict.

🔥 Do you think this move strengthens Belarus’s role as a peace broker—or is it more political theater in a multipolar world?

US Sec of Commerce Howard Lutnick SLAMS globalization at the WEF in Davos

"Globalization has FAILED!"

💥 Danish funds are dumping U.S. debt — Europe just sent Washington a serious warning.

🇩🇰 Danish pension giant AkademikerPension has offloaded $100 million in U.S. Treasuries, citing rising risks from Trump-era policies and mounting tension over Greenland. Other major European investors are pulling back too, prompting whispers of a potential “strategic dollar rebalancing.”

🌍 As the dollar slides and gold surges, Europe’s financial distance from the U.S. could reshape global markets — but can it really afford to break away when its own economy depends on dollar trade and energy?

🔥 Is the Western economic order starting to crack from the inside? What role could the Global South play if this shift accelerates?
