Daniel Ortega walked into the gym with a rifle before killing an employee and injuring others.
“Ortega was also found to be a member of LVAC, who frequently worked out at the location where the shooting occurred.
Police would shoot and injure Ortega in front of the gym after he attempted to flee on foot. He would later die at UMC Hospital.”

🇺🇸🇮🇳🇨🇳🇧🇷🇷🇺🇹🇷 Trump's secondary sanctions on Russia essentially threaten China, India, Brazil and Turkey.
China, Brazil Turkey, and India purchase more than 80% of all Russian energy-raw materials.
🇮🇳 India:
According to Indian diplomats, India cannot shut down its economy at someone else's (Trump’s) whim. Said India’s ambassador to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, as a response to Trump's statement.
India's dependence on imported fuel is over 80%, and about a third of that comes from Russia, so it is simply impossible to stop purchasing Russian raw materials, which are sold to the Indian at a discount.
So, overall, India's position is clear.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 China's position has long been clear and understandable. China plans to impose counter-sanctions on all American sanctions.
Also China understands that if they abandon Russia in this way, they will be next on the list for destruction. They have no choice, as to fight.

Brazil exports only $40 billion worth of goods to the US, while their GDP is over $2 trillion.
That’s a blow they can absorb, plus they’re in BRICS and can readjust.
The assumption is, as BRICS member, Brazil would also fight the US secondary sanctions.
