Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South. #BRICS #Lavrov #Jaishankar #GlobalSouth #Russia #India #China #Sanctions #WesternHypocrisy #MultipolarWorld #USSanctions #Geopolitics #WorldOrder #EconomicColonialism #BRICSExpansion #GlobalPolitics #AltFinance #NewDevelopmentBank #BRICSVsG7 #AntiDollar #GlobalShift #BRICSPower #EconomicAlliance #StrategicShift #WestVsBRICS #NonAligned #TradeWars #GlobalInfluence #TechSovereignty #GlobalBalance Also Read India at the Heart of BRICS: The Pivot in a Multipolar World :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-at-the-heart-of-brics-the-pivot-in-a-multipolar-world-7825477.html?ref=DMDesc US Senator Warns India, China, Brazil of 'Severe Tariffs' Over Russian Oil Purchases :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-senator-warns-india-china-brazil-of-severe-tariffs-over-russian-oil-purchases-011-7807339.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 ~HT.318~GR.122~

Orban Aide MOCKS Greta For ‘Failed Gaza Mission’ | Greta SLAMS Hungarian Govt Over ‘Ban On Love’

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg made a surprise appearance at Budapest Pride, turning the annual LGBTQ parade into a loud political statement against Viktor Orbán’s right-wing government. Speaking at the march, Thunberg accused the Hungarian leadership of trying to “ban love” and labeled the event a protest against what she called “fascist” attacks on human rights. Her presence quickly drew backlash. Balázs Orbán, political director to the Prime Minister, took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Thunberg as a “young, angry person” offering “unsolicited advice,” also referencing her “failed Gaza activism.” The event highlights the deepening tensions in Hungary over LGBTQ rights and government control, as critics say Orbán's policies continue to shrink civil liberties. The government insists it is defending traditional values. Thunberg’s visit further fuels the culture war now at the center of Hungary’s politics — and one that's drawing international attention. #GretaThunberg #BudapestPride #HungaryNews #LGBTQ #ViktorOrban #GretaVsOrban #HumanRights #HungarianPolitics #Pride2025 #ClimateActivist #FreedomOfSpeech #BanOnLove #OrbanGovernment #LGBTQRights #GretaInHungary #OrbánCriticism #ProtestNews #GazaControversy #HungaryUnderOrban #EuropePolitics Also Read Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Aid Mission Blocked By Israel Amid Naval Standoff :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-s-gaza-aid-mission-blocked-by-israel-amid-naval-standoff-4175697.html?ref=DMDesc Greta Thunberg Leads Protest Against Azerbaijan Hosting COP29 Climate Summit Over Human Rights Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/greta-thunberg-protests-against-azerbaijan-hosting-climate-summit-011-3984443.html?ref=DMDesc Explained: Why Was Greta Thunberg Arrested At The University Of Copenhagen? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/explained-why-was-greta-thunberg-arrested-at-the-university-of-copenhagen-3925483.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~ED.346~

Where’s Your Proof, Rahul Gandhi? —Pakistan Finally Admits 500+ Soldiers Killed in Operation Sindoor

Pakistan has finally admitted the truth—500+ soldiers lost in Operation Sindoor. After years of denying their losses, Islamabad’s gallantry medals to 138 soldiers reveal the scale of the disaster. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi and the Opposition questioned India’s surgical strikes and Balakot attacks, echoing Pakistan’s denials inside India. This video exposes the stark contrast between past governments and Modi’s India: decisive action, heavy consequences for Pakistan, and zero tolerance for terror. If Pakistan itself admits the losses, can Rahul Gandhi continue questioning India’s victories?

‘Even If Hamas Disarms…’ Netanyahu’s SHOCKINGClaims On Gaza Takeover Despite Hamas’ Demilitarization

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will conquer all of Gaza, even if Hamas agrees to a hostage deal, intensifying fears of an unrelenting military campaign. Speaking after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new offensive on Gaza City, Netanyahu said Hamas’ removal is non-negotiable and compared leaving them in Gaza to leaving Nazis in Berlin. He cited U.S. President Donald Trump’s backing, noting Trump’s statement that Hamas “cannot stay” in Gaza. Despite mounting international condemnation and warnings from the UN and humanitarian groups, Netanyahu dismissed criticism as a “tsunami of anti-Semitism.” The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported killed since October 2023. Several nations, including France, are considering recognition of Palestine in response to the crisis. Netanyahu insists the war could end immediately if Hamas disarms, but vowed Israel will not stop short of total conquest. #Netanyahu #Gaza #Israel #Hamas #GazaWar #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #Palestine #Trump #IDF #Ceasefire #UN #HumanRights #HostageDeal #WarNews #IsraelPalestine #Conflict #WorldNews #GazaCity #InternationalCrisis ~ED.102~HT.408~

Putin’s Ukraine War BACKFIRES: Austria May ABANDON Historic Neutrality & Join NATO | BIG Win For U.S

Russia’s war on Ukraine has sparked a domino effect, pushing more European nations toward NATO. Austria, long neutral, is now debating membership as Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger warns neutrality no longer ensures security. Joining NATO would end Austria’s historic role as a bridge between East and West, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Analysts say this move could inspire other neutral states like Switzerland and Serbia to reconsider their positions. Instead of weakening NATO, Putin’s war has strengthened and expanded the alliance, isolating Russia further #Putin #UkraineWar #NATO #Austria #Neutrality #EuropeanSecurity #Russia #BeateMeinlReisinger #DieWelt #Geopolitics #GlobalSecurity #DominoEffect #Switzerland #Serbia #NATOExpansion #Article5 #Moscow #DiplomaticShift #AlliancePolitics #EasternEurope #PutinBackfires #UkraineConflict #SecurityDebate #RussiaIsolation #CollectiveDefense #WestVsRussia #AustriaNeutrality #DefensePolicy #WarImpact #StrategicShift #EuropeNews 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 This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc Russian President Vladimir Putin Calls PM Modi To Condemn Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-president-vladimir-putin-calls-pm-modi-to-condemn-pahalgam-terror-attack-4143787.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~
