Ecuador’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, ‘This is the Ecuadorian consulate. You’re not allowed to enter,’ as one officer is heard threatening to ‘grab’ 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 didn’t look like fire at all

🌍 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! 🛢️

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

🤔 So, can the West truly cut ties with rivals like Russia without crippling its own energy security—or is this paradox here to stay? Drop your take below!

💬 A new survey across 46 countries shows nearly 80% global support for Beijing’s development approach. While the West debates “debt traps,” much of the Global South sees opportunity, resilience, and independence from Western leverage.

🔥 Is the Belt and Road paving the path to a new world order—one built on South-South cooperation rather than Western permission?
