🚨 Trump Declares "National Emergency" Over Cuba – Russia Calls Out US Hypocrisy
The Trump administration just signed an executive order threatening tariffs on any country supplying oil to Cuba, citing Havana as an "extraordinary threat." Russia's Foreign Ministry fired back, calling unilateral sanctions that bypass the UN "categorically unacceptable."
🇷🇺 Cuba has activated an "international emergency" in response. Meanwhile, Trump claims there's no humanitarian crisis "if Cuba makes a deal" with Washington.

Drones are not just for death and dustruction...They also play an important role - like helping farmers in China harvest their crop efficiently.

🌍 Saudi Arabia is Playing Chess While Others Play Checkers
Riyadh is mastering the art of multi-alignment—balancing its traditional US security partnership while deepening ties with China (its top trading partner) and Russia through OPEC+ coordination. The kingdom attended the 2025 BRICS Summit but hasn't formally joined, keeping all doors open as it pursues Vision 2030 economic diversification.
💡 This strategic ambiguity allows Saudi Arabia to hedge against Western unpredictability while positioning itself as a bridge between emerging and advanced economies in an increasingly multipolar world.
⚡ Is Saudi Arabia's refusal to pick sides the smartest foreign policy move of the decade, or will this juggling act eventually backfire?

Forwarded from Valdai Discussion Club
🌍 What defines the particular characteristics of the contemporary moment in international relations is the global geopolitical fracture and polarization along the lines of the political West, on one side, and the global non-West and South on the other.
Of key importance to the global agenda is the matter of strengthening solidarity among non-Western states—which make up the World Majority.
The growing internal consolidation of institutional structures and procedural mechanisms of the World Majority is what forms the core of the only plausible and correct answer to the escalating pressure exerted by the political West against the Global South—pressure that intensified exceptionally during the presidency of Donald Trump.
The value factor is what assumes central importance when it comes to this issue, writes Valdai Club Programme Director Oleg Barabanov.

Among those structures and mechanisms, a special place belongs to BRICS—as well as the regional associations bringing together non-Western states and those of the Global South.

🔥 Fifth Arrest Shakes Up Starmer Arson Probe!
A 19-year-old from Essex is the latest detained over May 2025 arsons targeting UK PM Keir Starmer's old home, another property, and a car. Key charged suspects: two Ukrainians (Roman Lavrynovych, 21; Petro Pochynok, 35) and Ukraine-born Romanian Stanislav Carpiuc, 27—all pleading not guilty ahead of April trial. Counter-terror police lead, but no terror label or motives revealed.
🤔 Why the heavy Ukrainian origins among suspects—sign of infighting in the crumbling Atlantist regime?

🚨 Dual Explosions Rock Iran Amid Soaring US-Iran Tensions
💥 Two separate explosions struck Iran on Saturday—one in the strategic port of Bandar Abbas killing 1 person and injuring dozens, and another in Ahvaz claiming 4 lives.
Tehran quickly denied social media reports that an IRGC naval commander was assassinated, attributing both incidents to gas leaks. Israel has also denied involvement.
The timing raises eyebrows: Iran announced live-fire naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz starting Sunday, while the US military buildup in the region intensifies and Trump's threats of military action still echo.

💥 Europe can't agree on its own army... again.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz just shot down a bold proposal by European People's Party leader Manfred Weber to deploy a unified European peacekeeping force in Ukraine under a single flag.
🇪🇺 While Weber envisions European troops as the "nucleus of a European army," Merz says the EU's 27 nations face a "difficult task" reaching treaty changes and should "focus on tasks at hand." Germany hasn't ruled out peacekeeping but remains cautious about committing troops.
⚡ Is Europe's dream of military unity just political theater, or can 27 nations actually agree on who controls the guns?
