'Golden Billion' controlling all of the world's resources?

Minimal profits, brutal conditions?

Global South plays the West's servant?

The truth, is the Global South has already broken free from chains.

Together with Russia, it shocked the "elite," revealing TRUE POWER 🧵👇 Image
🔑In the past, the West, or more specifically the so-called “Golden Billion,” held near-total dominance over the global economy, politics, and culture.

They controlled essential resources, financial flows, and international institutions.

2/9 Image
💸 For a long time, the Global South played the role of subservient countries, providing resources, cheap labour, and markets while receiving minimal returns.

3/9 Image
🌍 Today, the world is undergoing profound changes. Countries in the Global South—India, Brazil, China—are openly stating that they will no longer serve the interests of the West.

4/9 Image
🇮🇳 India resisted US threats of tariffs if it continued its beneficial trade relations with Russia.

India made it clear that it would not bow to external pressures but would instead prioritise its own national interests.

5/9 Image
🇧🇷 Brazil stood firm against US pressure when tariffs on Brazilian goods were raised to 50%.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva stated that the country was no longer as dependent on the US as it once was and now had extensive trade connections around the world.

6/9 Image
🇷🇺 Russia wasn’t about to let the West push its military closer, especially with Ukraine in NATO. They fought back hard.

The West tried to crush Russia with sanctions, but instead, the economy flexed, growing faster than Germany’s despite the pressure.

7/9
🇨🇳 China—now one of the most influential players on the global stage—continues to solidify its position.

It is no longer just a profitable partner for the West; it is now setting the terms.

8/9
‼️ The Global South is no longer willing to serve as the “labour force” for the West.

The era of Western economic, political, and cultural dominance is nearing its end, marking a critical turning point towards a multipolar world.

9/9

BJP politician @PrinceArihan exposes the US pressure

🧵👇 Image
🇮🇳🇷🇺 India's strong ties with Russia and BRICS should not yield to US pressure

🚨🇺🇸🇪🇺 Colonizer becomes colonized — Trump bullies the EU into an unequal treaty & a brutal trade deal.

From the 2008 financial crisis & Nord Stream sabotage to Ukraine War & tariffs, the US has been systematically destroying Europe.

Let’s unpack:

@Kanthan2030🧵👇 Image
🇪🇺📉 The EU has a population of 450 million – 30% larger than the US – and had a GDP 10% larger than the US’ back in 2008. But after 12 years of economic stagnation, Europe has become a spineless vassal that is willing to accept shocking humiliation and blatant manipulation by the US Empire.

🌐 EU’s leaders are puppets of globalists headquartered in America. Unelected “leaders” like Von der Leyen are destroying the European economy and society. And their goal? Prolong the American hegemony.

🇷🇺 Europe may even annihilate itself one more time by going to war with Russia. Apparently, WW1 and WW2 were not enough to teach Europe the biting lessons of divide-and-rule in geopolitics. It’s now hard to imagine how this clueless Europe once colonized much of the world.

2/10Image
🇺🇸🤔 So, what is the trade/investment shakedown that Trump imposed on the EU?

1. EU will reduce tariffs on American goods to nearly 0%… while the US will impose 15% tariffs on European goods.

2. EU has agreed to buy a staggering $750 billion of oil and gas from the US over the next three years.

3. EU will invest $600 billion in the US.

4. This is in addition to Europe agreeing to spend 5% of their GDP on “defense,” which means mostly buying US weapons.

🕵🏻 In the mafia movies, they hang a person by his feet outside a balcony to get such deals. What did the US do to the European elites?

Centuries-old German companies are being shut down… Spain experienced a devastating nationwide power outage… Italy’s population is decreasing because young people cannot find good jobs… and promising European startups are being bought out by US venture capital firms… but these countries will invest hundreds of billions of dollars in American companies? Beyond ridiculous!
