Who Are Russia’s New Allies? Russia STUNS West By Dumping Germany For Iran And North Korea [Video]

Who Are Russia’s New Allies? Russia STUNS West By Dumping Germany For Iran And North Korea

In a dramatic geopolitical shift, Russia has withdrawn from a long-standing military cooperation agreement with Germany, originally signed in 1996. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's move follows a cascade of sanctions from Western allies and Germany’s support for Ukraine. Russia's Foreign Ministry labeled Berlin's stance as "openly hostile" and accused Germany of pursuing aggressive militaristic policies. The collapse of this bilateral framework underscores Moscow's pivot toward nations like North Korea, Iran, and China. In recent weeks, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un—who pledged unconditional support for Russia’s war—and Iranian officials during the BRICS summit. Meanwhile, President Putin hinted at retaliatory arming of regions to strike Western targets. As the West distances itself from Moscow, Russia deepens its ties with fellow sanctioned states, signaling a bold new strategic alignment. #RussiaGermany #RussiaIran #RussiaNorthKorea #Putin #Lavrov #GermanyWithdrawal #MilitaryPact #BRICS2025 #UkraineWar #NATO #RussiaSanctions #RussiaChina #KimJongUn #IranNuclear #Geopolitics #GlobalTensions #AxisOfSanctions #RussiaIsolation #MoscowNews #RussiaBreaking ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.124~

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump MOCKS Brics As “Little Group Fading Fast”; Vows 10% Tariff  On BRICS Nations [Video]

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump MOCKS Brics As “Little Group Fading Fast”; Vows 10% Tariff On BRICS Nations

During the signing of the landmark GENIUS Act, President Trump launched a spectacular verbal assault on BRICS, calling the bloc a “little group fading fast”, accusing it of trying to dethrone the US dollar. He reaffirmed his threat of a 10% tariff on any country joining the alliance, claiming the measure “hit them very hard” and caused BRICS attendance to collapse. Trump emphasized the GENIUS Act’s role in cementing American leadership in crypto and finance, proudly noting, “They named it after me!” He portrayed the protection of the dollar's reserve status as vital—comparable to “not losing a World War.” Meanwhile, the newly passed law establishes regulatory clarity for stablecoins, bolstering US dominance in digital currency while rejecting central bank digital currency. Trump delivered his usual bombast: BRICS must never “play games with us.” Critics point out there's little evidence BRICS plans a dollar coup, but Trump’s economic war strategy is on full display. #TrumpVsBRICS #DollarDominance #GENIUSAct #TrumpTariffs #ProtectTheDollar #BricsCollapse #CryptoLaw #USReserveCurrency #StablecoinRegulation #TrumpSpeech #TariffThreat #BricsPay #EconomicWarfare #USFinanceLeadership #MAGA #GlobalDollar #TrumpCrypto #AntiBrics #TariffWar #DonaldTrump ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.122~

NATO Chief THREATENS BRICS | ‘Will hit you VERY HARD if trade with Russia continues | Trump vs BRICS

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has issued a stern warning to BRICS nations—India, China, and Brazil—over their continued trade ties with Russia. Following a meeting with Donald Trump, who gave Putin a 50-day peace deadline, Rutte threatened 100% tariffs and secondary sanctions if these nations fail to pressure Moscow. The move marks a shift toward coordinated global economic pressure to end the war. Trump echoed the warning, hinting at penalties for “anti-American policies” amid escalating geopolitical tensions. #NATO #BRICS #RussiaWar #Rutte #IndiaChinaBrazil #SanctionsThreat #TrumpDeadline #Geopolitics #RussiaUkraineWar #TradePressure #Putin #GlobalDiplomacy #SecondarySanctions #BRICSVsWest #USForeignPolicy #TrumpOnRussia #EconomicSanctions #MarkRutte #TrumpTruthSocial #TariffThreats #BRICSBacklash #IndiaUSRelations #ChinaUSTrade #BrazilForeignPolicy #RussiaSanctions #PeaceDeadline #WesternUnity #StopTheWar #USNATOAllies #TradeWarAlert #BRICSWatch Also Read India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc BRICS Leaders Push For India And Brazil's Inclusion As Permanent Members Of UN Security Council :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/brics-leaders-push-for-india-and-brazils-inclusion-as-permanent-members-of-un-security-council-7794021.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

India's FIERY Response To Trump's Warning | India Stands Firm On Russian Oil

India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties. #IndiaOilImports #RussianOil #TrumpTariffs #EnergySecurity #GlobalOilPrices #RussianCrude #OilTradeTensions #IndiaEnergyPolicy #USIndiaRelations #BrentCrude #OPECPlusCuts #PriceCapMechanism #RussianLNG #OilMarketStability #IndiaDefiesTrump #OilSupplyCrisis #GlobalEnergyCrisis #IndianRefiners #USRussiaTensions #OilImportsNews ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.103~

WW3 To Begin Soon? Russian Submarine Spotted 'Near U.S Coast' After Trump's Deployment [Video]

WW3 To Begin Soon? Russian Submarine Spotted 'Near U.S Coast' After Trump's Deployment

Tensions between Washington and Moscow are spiraling after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters in response to Dmitry Medvedev’s chilling “dead hand” threat. The move has fueled fears of World War 3, despite experts calling it “posturing.” A viral video claiming Russian Borei-class submarines armed with Bulava missiles are stationed off the U.S. coast has added to the panic, though fact-checkers confirmed the footage is from 2018. Trump defended his decision on Truth Social, warning that “words are important and can have unintended consequences.” Analysts suggest the deployment signals strength but does not escalate nuclear confrontation. The standoff comes as Trump grows increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin’s refusal to negotiate a Ukraine ceasefire, with both nations engaging in nuclear saber-rattling unseen since the Cold War. #Trump #Russia #NuclearSubs #WW3Fears #MedvedevThreat #Putin #USRussiaTensions #NuclearStandoff #DeadHandThreat #WarFears #TruthSocial #GlobalCrisis #NuclearWeapons #BoreiSubmarines #BulavaMissiles #WorldWar3 #Geopolitics #NuclearDeployment #USMilitaryPower #RussiaVsUS ~ED.346~GR.124~HT.318~

Anti-Trump Protests ERUPT Across Brazil Outside U.S Embassy Over Tariffs | Bolsonaro Blamed

A fiery protest erupted outside the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia as Brazilian students, workers, political parties, and social movements came together to oppose President Donald Trump’s newly imposed tariffs. The demonstrators, chanting “Trump’s paws off Brazil,” accused Trump of economic aggression and denounced Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro for allegedly siding with U.S. interests over national sovereignty. Waving banners and flags, protesters vowed to defend Brazil’s economy from what they called “imperialist interference,” promising to take the matter to diplomatic and legal platforms. One protester passionately declared the need to “bury Bolsonarism,” signaling rising domestic discontent with U.S.-Brazil relations. Brazil’s government has already announced plans to challenge the tariffs on international legal grounds. The protest not only highlighted economic fears but also symbolized growing resistance to what many see as external pressure dictating Brazil’s policy. The fiery slogans and symbolic defiance mark a bold moment in Brazil’s struggle for economic independence. #Trump #BrazilProtest #Tariffs #Brasilia #USBrazilRelations #TrumpTariffs #Bolsonarism #EconomicSovereignty #BrazilResists #USImperialism #BrazilNews #AntiTrumpProtest #BrazilianWorkers #USEmbassyProtest #TradeWar #InternationalPolitics #LatinAmericaNews #TrumpInBrazil #GlobalProtests #EconomicJustice ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.346~
