⚡Sudan has cancelled a $6 billion deal with the United Arab Emirates to develop a Red Sea port, Finance Minister Gibril Ibrahim said on Sunday, accusing Abu Dhabi of supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the country’s ongoing conflict.

The deal, signed in December 2022, would have seen Abu Dhabi Ports and Invictus Investment, a company managed by Sudanese businessman Osama Daoud, build and operate the Abu Amama port, located about 200 km (124 miles) north of Port Sudan.

“After what happened, we will not give the UAE a single centimeter on the Red Sea coast,” Ibrahim told a news conference in Port Sudan. He was referring to allegations that the UAE has provided backing to the RSF, which has been battling Sudan’s army since April 15 2023.

See this idiotic mumu calling someone retarded. We are talking about ANOTHER COUNTRY (not Russia) buying ANOTHER COUNTRY'S (not Russia) products with Ruble as is the case with Dollar, you idiot!

Is there any country in the world where you can buy their goods with another country's currency? e.g paying for Chinese goods with Mexican pesos?

So why did you single out Russia?

Every country sold their goods to others in US dollars which put the rest of the world at a disadvantage and the US at an advantage.

Well the world have now realized their mistake and are now looking to reset this unfair economic practice that has made only the US prosperous.

⚡President Donald Trump recently stated that the funds deposited by Iraqi politicians in U.S. banks are now the property of the American people, as compensation for the blood and sacrifices of American soldiers in Iraq.

Here’s a list of some of the alleged amounts as published on the U.S. Treasury website:

•Nouri al-Maliki: $66 billion
•Adnan al-Asadi: $25 billion
•Saleh al-Mutlaq: $28 billion
•Baqir al-Zubeidi: $30 billion
•Baha al-Araji: $37 billion
•Mohammed al-Daraji: $19 billion
•Hoshyar Zebari: $21 billion
•Massoud Barzani: $59 billion
•Salim al-Jubouri: $15 billion
•Sadoun al-Dulaimi: $18 billion
•Farouk al-Araji: $16 billion
•Adil Abdul-Mahdi: $31 billion
•Osama al-Nujaifi: $28 billion
•Haider al-Abadi: $17 billion
•Mohammed al-Karbouli: $20 billion
•Ahmed Nouri al-Maliki: $14 billion
•Tarek Najm: $7 billion
•Ali al-Allaq: $19 billion
•Ali al-Yasari: $12 billion
•Hassan al-Anbari: $7 billion
•Iyad Allawi: $44 billion
•Jalal Talabani: $35 billion
•Rafi al-Issawi: $29 billion

Total: $597 billion

A state of panic has reportedly gripped prominent figures across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain, with attempts to urgently transfer funds from the U.S., even at substantial losses.

This has also led to widespread fear in Switzerland over the security of global banking, as the secrecy of international bank accounts has come under serious threat, undermining the credibility of financial institutions worldwide.

⚡Joint military exercise of Russia and Indonesia in the Java sea.

The first-ever bilateral naval exercises between Russia and Indonesia will take place from November 4 to 8.

They are called "Orruda 2024", referring to the names of two birds: the Russian eagle (Oryol) and the Indonesian mythical bird Garuda.

The word reflects the countries' intention to conduct the exercises "wing to wing" as they say.

Asking you a question makes me a dummy? Doesn't that make you the real dummy?
Nigeria trades with Russia. Try buying Nigerian crude with Ruble or try paying Dangote with Ruble, see what happens

You're retarded.

Why should Russia buy Nigerian crude with Ruble? It should be naira. While we buy Russian crude in Ruble.

And foreign countries can buy Nigerian & Dangote oil with naira.

Thats what BRICS is all about. Two countries trading with their own currencies.

Thats what the EU does. They create Ruble accounts in Russia. That Ruble accounts is paid for in Gold to Russia while the European country receive Ruble which they use to buy Russian oil.

In other words they're are buying Russian products in Ruble.

Do you need an eternity to wrap your head around that basic concept?

He's still talking. We know almost all countries accept US dollar, you were asked a simple question: what countries accept Ruble?

I even assumed Aliexpress accepts Naira. You were then asked where they can spend it outside Nigeria.

You're a proper dummy.

Every country that trades with Russia as at now accepts Rubles. Including China.

So name which countries accept Ruble as payment.😅

I googled "does Ali express accept naira". The answer is an emphatic "no". And if they did they can only spend it in Nigeria!

Quit already. You'er engaging in a losing, pointless argument

Go to the Aliexpress app, try to purchase something and see. My naira cards worked.

You're still asking me what countries accept Rubles? Are you really this slow?

The EU countries that buys oil from Russia with Rubles is what?

India, UAE, Saudi, Turkey, China and so on... Those aren't countries right?

Oil aside, Russia is a major exporter of uranium, titanium, grain, gold, gas, steel, food products.

The countries that purchases from Russia, they still use dollar right? Or you don't know that Russia have been cut off from using dollars since 2022.

But still sell critical stuffs to other countries till now? How else do they do that if not in Rubles?

DaddyCoool:
This is funny. So why is it when the rep of your biggest customer is visiting you'll be be treating him like a king and the bossy owner will be behaving like boy-boy, and be agreeing to any stupid thing he says.

So Russia sells oil in Rubles. What do they do when they want to use those Rubles to buy something from Nigeria since Nigeria does not take Rubles?
And why don't China, a bigger economy, also start selling in Yuan instead they're hoarding dollars (see below). Why do they only take dollar?
India too.

Those countries that banned Twitter, Apple, Instagram, Google, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc. Why do they always unban them? Why not form their own or get it from China or elsewhere?

Your problem is you think you're smarter than everyone.

Aliexpress and Alibaba now accept payments in naira. How did that happen? In your mind I guess you're wondering what the Chinese manufacturers will do with the naira, right?

Russia buys from Brazil, India, UAE, Serbia, Austria, Turkey and many others. How do you think they do it?

You think they paid in dollars they've already been cut off from?

Like I said you're still sleeping. I hope you wake up before it is too late.

⚡🇷🇺 Dmitry Medvedev:

“The world is frozen in awkward anticipation ahead of the elections for the president of the “Overseas Pindostan”.

We have no reason for any heightened expectations.

1. For Russia, these elections will change nothing, as the candidates’ positions fully reflect a bipartisan consensus on the need for our country’s defeat.

2. Kamala is seen as unintelligent, inexperienced, easily controlled, and will be fearful of everyone around her. Governance will be handled by a council of key ministers and aides, with indirect influence from the Obama family.

3. A weary Trump, prone to platitudes like “I’ll propose a deal” and “I have great relations with…,” would also be forced to follow all systemic rules. He won’t be able to stop the war in a day, three days, or three months. If he actually tries, he risks becoming the next JFK.

4. Only one thing truly matters: how much money the new POTUS will allocate for a distant war, to benefit their defense industry and the corrupt circles profiting from it.

5. Therefore, the best way to please the U.S. presidential candidates on November 5 is to keep smashing the Kyiv Nazi regime“

So America is number one and two in EV race... Only one pride itself as chinese

You're a big fat liar.

Chuan Fu Wang is the owner and CEO of BYD. Also the largest shareholder. Not a single American own shares in BYD.

America is 3rd in the EV race. China is 1st and 2nd. No one comes close.

😂 Hahahahahahahaha..... What?!!

70% of consumer goods in the US is produced in China. The remaining 30% comes from Asia & the EU.

The US is a service economy not a production economy.

There's a popular saying that the American dream is made in China. Even the MAGA republican hats worn by Donald Trump was made in China.

The US buys more than it sells. Over $600 billion imports and $300 billion exports.

This is dumb. "The customer is always right". "The customer is the boss, not the seller"
Why do you think China never dares ask US to pay back the massive debt they owe China but always disturbing African countries?
Trump is playing politics. This threat is TOTALLY unnecessary. The world CAN'T abandon dollar for a very long time - same way it is hard to abandon Twitter even if you hate Elon Musk

So if you come to my shop to buy something and I tell you I don't collect old naira notes, you'll force it on me right?

I already gave a solid example of how Russia declined US dollars in selling oil and ordered all EU countries to pay in Rubles and they all did, since 2022 till now that law has been in effect. They cuss and swear at Russia but they still pay for oil in Rubles.

Saudi, China, UAE, India, Malaysia, Singapore and a whole lot of others ll sold oil, gas, consumer goods in local currencies. But you're here arguing when you could just look it up.

The seller determines the conditions of the sale.

When the FG banned Twitter for a whole year did anyone die? Twitter had to beg the FG and agree to all the conditions set by the Buhari administration before they lifted the ban.

Twitter, Apple, Instagram, Google, Facebook have all been banned so many times in several countries in the past years and nothing happened. Everything you mentioned can all be replaced by local companies.

Continue sleeping my friend, let me know when you wake up.

The US alone buys 40% of what the entire world produces....the wage rate is very high and her people have a spending lifestyle...so if they don't buy your goods...u won't sell..china is only a world factory,they don't buy shit significantly from anyone... now u know why the US Is so so important..?

Common sense should tell you that the US is even more vulnerable if it is just a purchasing economy and not a production economy.

What happens when those countries the US buys from demand that the US buy it with their own local currency?? Just like Russia forced the EU to buy Russian gas in Rubles. The seller make the rules, not the buyer.

What happens then?

Americans would suffer greatly if the world abandons the US dollars.
