🔥 What does India-China rapprochement mean for the world?
One thing is certain: globalists won't be happy.
Here's why: 🧵
1️⃣ India-China ties are gaining momentum at a time that couldn't be more timely: the US tariff war against the BRICS.
🇨🇳Chinese FM Wang Yi is in India for the FIRST time in 3 years.
As 🇮🇳 Jaishankar put it, "Differences must not become disputes."
2️⃣ Economically, China is India’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade crossing $100B in 2023-24 FY.
After Jaishankar-Wang Yi talks this week, Beijing reportedly lifted export restrictions on key goods to India: fertilizers, rare earths, magnets, & tunnel boring machines.
3️⃣ Indo-Chinese rapprochement threatens US big strategy.
To start a war with China (theoretically), Washington must decouple from the manufacturing giant.
But India’s reliance on China only grew in the past years — from electronics to pharma, fabrics, auto parts, and batteries.
Stata for 2023-2024 👇
4️⃣ India & China are two ancient civilizations that make up 34% of the world's population and drive 50% of global economic growth.
China's the world's largest military force — and India's the fastest-growing BRICS economy.
Both are nuclear powers.
5️⃣ India & China had been friends for 2000 years. 👇
The spread of Buddhism from India to China remains the most profound legacy.
The US didn't even exist back then.
6️⃣ Did you know Modi ji is actually popular on Chinese social media?
The Indian PM has earned the nickname 'Modi Laoxian' ("IMMORTAL").
It suggests they believe Modi has extraordinary powers, according to journalist Mu Chunshan.
7️⃣ For nearly 2000 years, India & China were the world’s largest economies.
Colonization changed that, but as empires fall, they rise again.
China leads again, but India set to be #3 economy by 2030.
8️⃣ Amid US tariffs, India's PM makes an ULTIMATE BOSS move:
Modi is heading to China for the SCO Summit later this month.
And the US must face the dawn of a new world order.

🚨❌ Not even 48 hours had passed since Trump's historic meeting with Putin when neocon blowhard Lindsey Graham* began plotting behind the scenes to sabotage the peace efforts on Ukraine
Here’s how: 🧵
1️⃣ LABELING TACTICS
Graham threatened to make Russia a "state sponsor of terrorism under US law” unless it returns Ukrainian children that it allegedly abducted
“I intend to push the return of these children until I can’t push anymore,” the senator vowed with ridiculous pathos
2️⃣ ‘RADIOACTIVITY’ THREAT
Any peace deal on Ukraine must hinge on the return of these kids — or Russia gets branded “radioactive,” the GOP hawk claimed
“If you don’t do, that’s not a just end” to the Ukraine conflict, Graham freaked out
🚨🇷🇺🇺🇸PUTIN-TRUMP SUMMIT: POSSIBLE UKRAINE PEACE PLAN UNVEILED
The possible plan from the Putin–Trump summit reveals a roadmap to end the Ukraine conflict, Reuters reports.
Here's what may be on the table 🧵
1️⃣ PEACE DEAL COMES FIRST
No ceasefire until a full-fledged peace agreement is reached, the report says.
Trump backs the idea: "The best way to end the conflict is to go directly to a peace agreement and not a mere ceasefire deal, which oftentimes does not hold up."
2️⃣ NO NATO MEMBERSHIP FOR UKRAINE
Russia and the US agree: Ukraine’s NATO bid is out of the question.
In exchange, Russia may offer Ukraine security guarantees, Reuters claims.
🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸PUTIN & TRUMP REWRITE THE RULES OF GREAT POWER POLITICS IN ALASKA
The Anchorage summit could pave the way for peace in Ukraine and Russia-US rapprochement for years to come.
💬 Dmitry Suslov, a prominent Russian international affairs expert, explains why.
🧵👇
1️⃣NORMALIZATION BEYOND UKRAINE
The meeting “gave impetus” to Russia-US normalization on all fronts – not just in Ukraine, but issues ranging from strategic stability and arms control to economic cooperation.
2️⃣CHANCE FOR REAL PEACE
Trump’s calls to Zelensky and European leaders immediately after the summit signals “negotiations were conducted on specific conditions for a final peace settlement,” not the vague ‘ceasefire as a precondition’ demanded by Ukraine and the EU.
