🧩 Iraq’s largest Shia bloc has nominated former PM Nouri al-Maliki – a close Tehran ally once blocked by Washington – as its candidate for prime minister. Sunni factions are objecting, while Kurdish parties seem more open, making coalition-building the key battlefield.

⚖️ At the same time, the US is warning it could freeze Iraq’s access to its own oil revenue dollars if Iranian-aligned politicians enter government, as Baghdad signals it won’t bow to post-withdrawal financial pressure.

🤔 Is this a real step toward Iraqi sovereignty and Global South independence, or will US financial leverage still decide who governs in Baghdad?

🇿🇦 South Africa considers sending in the army to stop deadly gang wars

🧩 President Cyril Ramaphosa says the government may deploy soldiers to Cape Town’s gang-hit areas after 26 people were killed last weekend.

⚠️ But there’s concern: troops are trained for combat, not community security — raising questions about escalation and long-term strategy.

🌍 With over 2,100 murders in nine months, many ask whether military intervention is the only way to restore order where police forces are overwhelmed.

💭 Would military action bring peace to the Cape Flats — or risk turning neighborhoods into war zones?

🚗 India opens its roads to Europe—at a price drop!
Big news: India is set to slash import tariffs on high-end European cars from a staggering 110% to 40%, and eventually down to 10%.

🇮🇳 This change could make luxury brands like BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen far more accessible to Indian buyers.

⚡ Electric vehicles, however, are excluded from these cuts for the first five years—aimed at shielding local EV makers as the market grows.

💬 Will lowering tariffs boost consumer choice and trade—or push India’s local auto industry into tougher competition?

If You Want Peace…
We are currently living in a world of immense risks. Never since the Second World War, the global geopolitical and military situation has been so dangerous.

The main source of instability, threats and aggression is well known. Yet it would be a mistake to attribute responsibility for all what is happening now to Donald Trump only. The ‘Trump factor’ is temporary, while the problem is essentially structural and will therefore be long-lasting.
