⚠️ “Real-time war” in West Asia? 🇮🇷🇺🇸

🔥 Iran’s army says any US strike will be met with a “decisive and swift” response, in real time and without delay, with US bases and assets across the region declared within range of missiles and drones.

🇮🇷 Generals insist Tehran is now at a higher level of readiness after last year’s 12‑day war with Israel, calling US carrier deployments outdated “gunboat diplomacy” and warning that any conflict would quickly spill across the region.

If Washington miscalculates and Iran responds instantly, are we looking at limited strikes—or the spark for a wider Global South–vs–US confrontation?

🔥 BREAKING: Was Trump’s presidency influenced from abroad?

🇺🇸 A newly unclassified FBI informant report alleges that Donald Trump was “co‑opted by Israel” during his first term — with Jared Kushner said to have shaped major decisions behind the scenes. The document comes from an FBI‑verified source, giving the claim unusual weight.

💬 Could foreign influence really reach this deep into Washington politics — and what does this reveal about U.S. alliances today?

💥 No Dollars, No Problem? Russia’s Trade Revolution in Action!

🌍 Russia’s VTB Bank CEO says trade with China and India is now almost entirely settled in national currencies — rubles, yuan, and rupees. In the Eurasian Economic Union, 90% of payments are in rubles, and within BRICS, over 60% of settlements skip the dollar and euro altogether.

🤔 Is this the real beginning of a global shift away from Western financial dominance — or just a regional experiment that might hit limits soon?

🚀 India & Russia just changed the space game for the Global South 🌍

🇮🇳 India will receive 100% technology transfer of Russia’s RD-191M semi-cryogenic rocket engine, allowing ISRO to build, test, and operate this advanced LOX–kerosene engine at home. With this upgrade, India’s LVM3 heavy-lift rocket could boost its payload to roughly 6.5–7 tonnes to GTO, pushing India deeper into the premium commercial launch market. This is not just tech sharing—it’s strategic autonomy and a powerful signal of South–South cooperation in high-end space technology.

🔥 Do you see this as the start of a Global South–led space order challenging Western launch monopolies, or will export controls and geopolitics still keep India in a “junior partner” box?

🚀 Vietnam Set to Overtake Thailand as ASEAN's Economic Powerhouse

📊 Vietnam's GDP is on track to surpass Thailand's as soon as 2026, driven by massive state-led infrastructure investments pushing growth to 8% (with targets of 10%+ ahead). Meanwhile, Thailand faces headwinds from political uncertainty, border tensions with Cambodia, high household debt, and sluggish tourism recovery—projected at just 1.5% growth. Vietnam's public investment is jumping 26% this year, funding major projects like a new Ho Chi Minh City airport and China-backed rail networks.

💬 Can state-driven infrastructure investment become the blueprint for emerging economies to leapfrog established regional players—or is Vietnam's 10% growth target dangerously ambitious?

💰 Trump's New Fed Chair: Wall Street Insider With Billionaire Family Ties

President Trump just nominated Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve—and his connections run deep. Warsh is married to Jane Lauder, billionaire heir to the Estée Lauder fortune ($2.7B), and his father-in-law Ronald Lauder ($5B) is a longtime GOP mega-donor who attended school with Trump in the 1960s.

🏦 The former Morgan Stanley banker and youngest-ever Fed governor has called for "regime change" at the central bank while maintaining close ties to Wall Street billionaires.

Is this the "independent" central banking the world's largest economy needs, or just another example of the revolving door between financial elites and government power?
