⚡President Xi Jinping:

China and India are two ancient civilisations in the East. We are the world's two most populous countries, and we are also important members of the Global South.

We both shoulder the historical responsibility of improving the well-being of our two peoples, promoting the solidarity and rejuvenation of developing countries, and promoting the progress of human society.

It is the right choice for both countries to be friends who have good neighbourly and amicable ties, partners who enable each other's success, and to have the dragon and the elephant come together."

Exactly, what happened during the 12 day war was sabotage by Iranians themselves. All this one they are saying is just shalaye to boost themselves
You get it.

As we speak, the IRGC and Artash are still locked in a perennial conflict with terrorists in the border areas.

Mossad has had monarchists, opposition, MEK, terrorist and other networks to feed them information and monitor assets for years.
They're trying to protect or throw off the scent of these sources by claiming they targeted VIPs through compromised phones of bodyguards.

⚡Putin:

Russia and China support reform of the UN so that it fully restores its authority and reflects modern realities.

In particular, we advocate making the Security Council more democratic by including states from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Any such reforms must, however, be approached with the utmost care.

Alongside our Chinese partners, we support reform of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

We are united in the view that a new financial system must be based on openness and true equity, providing equal and non-discriminatory access to its tools for all countries and reflecting the real standing of member states in the global economy.

It is essential to end the use of finance as an instrument of neocolonialism, which runs counter to the interests of the Global Majority.
Na the new financial system be the main thing.

Dey should move in haste and cho cho cho time don pass.
We need evidence.

If they have to start small, that's fine.
But the words have to be matched with action.
So far, they're setting up the constituent parts independently.
Like trading in national currencies, establishing shadow banks and financial institutions, as well as connecting their respective SWIFT alternatives.
That's commendable but a comprehensive, robust alternate financial system is needed pronto to evade sanctions and massively improve wealth in the Global South so the allure of American consumers can finally fade into irrelevance.

⚡The Israeli airstrikes on the Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital of Sana'a have confirmed to have killed the following:

Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi
The Minister of Information
The Minister of Justice
The Minister of Electricity
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
The Minister of Youth and Sports
The Minister of Local Administration
The Israelis have stopped publicizing where and when they hold government and cabinet meetings.

Something that every government does without fear and they have been doing during more than 600 days of war.
Ukraine holds their cabinet meetings and legislative sessions, no one bothers them.

Al Houthi will take his pound of flesh.
That much is sure.
After all Hezbollah blew up Satanyahu's personal residence.
Al Houthi has multiple targets to choose. I hope he does not go for symbolism.
An eye for an eye is in both the Talmud and Koran.




This was wildly unnecessary and reckless.
When they announced they bombed multiple targets in Sanaa, everyone figured they had tried and again failed at targeting the military honchos. No one expected they'll target a cabinet workshop that was public knowledge. Breaking 80 years of precedence.
The Americans, the Saudis, and the Emiratis did not do that even though they could.

I hope Iran is taking note.
No more publicized government meetings until the conclusion of the next war.
And they should seriously plan for a pre-emptive strike on a government meeting.
They should not wait for another Israeli attempt before retaliating.
As is their MO.
Do it and say they received intelligence that Israel was planning to carry out an attack on Iranian civil leaders. Because they have.
Na layup Satanyahu don offer Ayatollah like this. You have the unstoppable hypersonics. Use it. No go wait like Nasrallah.
Fiat Justitia, ruat caelum.
Satanyahu will attempt again then ask for truce if it fails. So do it first.
Let the Mullahs not say they were not warned or it came as a surprise. because na their favorite line be that.




Lastly, the Houthis should not appoint new ministers.
Have civil servants run the government with a nominal/caretaker head of government.
Appointing new ministers and giving them priority protection will thin out resources best spent on securing the military leaders, which they've been excellent at. It'll also increase the odds of a network infiltration. Much better to manage a small protective network.

SUCCESSFUL ELIMINATION

Al-Arabiya network reports from a Palestinian source that the spokesman of Hamas's military wing, Abu Obaida, was killed yesterday in an apartment in Gaza City and this morning his body was identified.

The Exodus from Gaza City

Another sign of the weakening of Hamas in Gaza:

Journalists aren’t afraid anymore to report on a large movement of evacuees yesterday from the northern Gaza Strip to the south, along the coastal road, ahead of the start of the Israeli operation to take control of the city of Gaza.

This is completely against the narrative Hamas wants to be installed.

IDF:
The IDF Struck Hezbollah Underground Infrastructure in Beaufort Ridge


A short while ago, the IDF struck military infrastructure, including underground infrastructure, at a Hezbollah site in which military activity was identified, in the area of the Beaufort Ridge in southern Lebanon.

The existence of the site and the activity within it constitute a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.

The IDF will continue to operate to remove any threat posed to the State of Israel.

Arab media confirms that Hamas spokesman Abu Obeidah was killed an a targeted Israeli strike yesterday.

Hamas has yet to issue an official statement.

Abu Obeidah previously threatened that if he was assassinated, Tel Aviv would burn.

France breaks records in purchasing Russian LNG

Berliner Zeitung notes: Paris, which loudly criticizes Russia and supports Kyiv, has simultaneously become the largest importer of Russian liquefied gas in the EU.
In the first three months of the year, France purchased more LNG from Moscow than any other EU country, paying about 600 million euros.

And this is despite the fact that in 2024, EU countries as a whole transferred over 8 billion euros to Russia for gas. That is, loud statements about sanctions are happening in parallel with billion-dollar payments to Moscow. In rubles.

India is the stumbling block.
We no need India for the initial set up.
It'll be nice of them to join at the start, but we cannot keep everything on hold until they do.

Circumvent them and leave the door open for them to join when the Hegemony wipe dem 4x4 again.

China and Russia should set it up, make it modular, and make it opt in.
Global South countries will join at their own pace and convenience.
BRICS+ started with four countries. SCO with 6, but really 2 heavyweights.
They can start a financial system with 2 + the always-ready quartet of North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba who have no options.
Any financial system that can improve the economic conditions of those 4 will radically transform most Global South countries.

If they keep waiting for the likes of India and Brazil to build consensus for every aspect, na talking stage we go dey for decades.

BRICS is a decade old. Which kyn Methuselah patience make dem still dey wait for consensus. And for how long are we supposed to wait.
Na waiting make Assad government collapse. Cuba don dey wait for decades.

I'll give you an example.
Nigeria joined the BRICS NDB.
If China had come to Nigeria to set it up at the start. We for post them. Because of our legacy Western ties.
But after they set it up, we joined. If they were waiting for us to join before setting it up, dem for old.
The kyn NDB sef, na India propose the creation.

China and Russia need to understand the constraints of less-independent Global South countries.
Not everyone can retaliate with high-valued rare earth exports to browbeat the Hegemony.
So they should set it up, and global majority countries will join when it is convenient.




Xi reached out to India's President after US launched the economic war against them.
Modi finally warmed up after the US whip touched him.
So if Trump had not been elected, there will still be no direct flights between India and China and Modi would not have visited China for 7 years and counting.

This is not a criticism.
Just an acknowledgement that the Axis can and should change gears.
The Russians and Chinese have the luxury of being almost completely immune to the Hegemony's dictates, so they're mistaken in thinking they can take their sweet time while the rest of the Global Majority work up the courage and means to add to the consensus.
When the arguable more prudent move is to build the alternate systems so that when bust ups like the current economic war happen, previously recalcitrant Global South countries can use the conflagration as an excuse to join the systems.

That's my 2 kopeks.

Iran and China, as ancient civilizations serving as the eastern and western wings of Asia, possess not only profound historical heritage but also transformative power to reshape the regional and even global landscape.

The comprehensive implementation of all provisions in the strategic cooperation agreement between the two countries will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for this process.

Modi sharply rejected the idea, stating that the ceasefire with Islamabad was achieved without U.S. involvement.

This refusal marked a turning point in relations, Washington imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods, while in India, Trump was openly called a "traitor" and his effigy was burned at a festival - NYT

When you don't hear about large drone strikes on major Ukrainian cities for a night or two in a row, this is where they fly - the frontline. Dozens of these strikes are often carried out daily, and there is no air defence in most of Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk Oblast to counter them.
