🔥 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.
🚨❌ 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.
