๐Ÿšจ China's Military Elite Just Got Decapitated!
โ–ถ๏ธ https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/the-great-decapitation-analyzing

Two top PLA generalsโ€”Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenliโ€”are under investigation for serious violations, shaking Beijing's command structure to its core. Official word blames corruption and disloyalty to Xi Jinping, but whispers of coup plots and even leaked nuclear secrets are swirling.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Will purging experienced generals like these make China stronger... or push it toward reckless aggression in the Taiwan Strait?

Ecuadorโ€™s foreign minister has filed a formal protest with the US Embassy after ICE agents attempted to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis without permission

Video shared online shows a consulate staffer rushing to block the door around 11 a.m., telling the agents, โ€˜This is the Ecuadorian consulate. Youโ€™re not allowed to enter,โ€™ as one officer is heard threatening to โ€˜grabโ€™ the staffer before the agents eventually left

International law generally bars law enforcement from entering foreign consulates or embassies without consent, except in limited emergency situations such as life-threatening fires. This one didnโ€™t look like fire at all

๐ŸŒ America's biggest geopolitical rival? Russia. But get this: the US is STILL Russia's TOP customer for nuclear uranium in 2023, importing $1.19B and 702 tonnes! ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ

Despite sanctions over Ukraine, energy needs trump politicsโ€”EU ($464M), France ($432M), and even China (467 tonnes) keep buying too. Russia's grip on global nuclear fuel exposes tough supply chain realities.

๐Ÿค” So, can the West truly cut ties with rivals like Russia without crippling its own energy securityโ€”or is this paradox here to stay? Drop your take below!

๐ŸŒ The Belt & Road isnโ€™t slowing downโ€”itโ€™s transforming.

By 2025, Chinaโ€™s overseas investments under the Belt and Road Initiative surged 75% to $213.5 billion, with record spending in energy ($93.9B) and minerals ($32.6B). ๐Ÿ’ก Clean tech got a boost too, with $18B poured into renewables.

๐Ÿ’ฌ A new survey across 46 countries shows nearly 80% global support for Beijingโ€™s development approach. While the West debates โ€œdebt traps,โ€ much of the Global South sees opportunity, resilience, and independence from Western leverage.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Is the Belt and Road paving the path to a new world orderโ€”one built on South-South cooperation rather than Western permission?

๐Ÿšจ Trump's latest move: Tariffs on ANY country selling oil to Cuba!

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The US President signed an executive order declaring a national emergency over Cuba's ties to Russia, China, and othersโ€”authorizing extra duties on imports from nations supplying petroleum to the island, direct or indirect. This ramps up pressure amid Venezuela's cutoff, potentially hitting key Global South players like Mexico.
