That's how REAL BRICS looks like. Iran has a huge say now, so is it BRIICS now? You can bet your ass on that--courage, steadfastness, ability to deliver--this is what really matters. Pezeshkian may not be the fan of IIRG but it is they who opened the door for Iran into the Premier League.
... but it shows you what modern war looks like. These guys shouldn't be driving tanks anymore, because the weight of their balls of steel will make those tanks really immobile and there is no new engine yet which would be able to move such a tank.
Also shows what T-90s really made of, as well as counter-drone support from the troops of the unmanned systems. That's REAL war.
... real economics, physics and math. Most of this ruling class in the West is a collection of incompetent ideologues who continue to fuck things up non-stop because none of them ever worked real job in productive capacity and all of them will run profitable 7-11 into the ground within two weeks of their "management". Add here a chronic hatred of everything Russian multiply it by egos larger than cathedrals and voila'.
... that is economics which is based on producing REAL things and critical services, like math and physics, doesn't give a flying coitus about smartass speculators who are produced in bulk at Ivy League degree mills and then write books on how to become a millionaire by specu ... pardon me--investing. Keep in mind--none of them has any clue about real mechanism from which money derive power. Throw away good ol' tale about donkey loaded with gold which opens gates to any fortress. Not really, it is hit and miss.
Oil prices from Russia’s Pacific coast are climbing as Chinese refiners intensify their purchase of spot cargoes due to limited supply options. This development reflects a tightening oil market, driven by increased Chinese demand for Russian crude. The surge in demand is likely affecting global oil price dynamics, particularly as geopolitical factors and supply constraints come into play. Market participants are closely monitoring these shifts, as they could influence the probability of crude oil reaching new all-time highs.
Or, as Roger wrote for the greatest album ever created.
Money, get back
I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Ah, don't give me that do-goody-good bullshit
Hands off of China's and India's stack, because the stack accumulates because of energy--the real mover of everything in Universe. Money is just avatar, you cannot produce shit with money alone. You also cannot buy everyone, as they thought you could. Naive petulant children, evil children. Some things are not for sale, unlike US Congress and the White House. Russian stack--yeah, they tried and failed yet again. They may still steal whatever frozen funds they keep, likely already, but cold hard barrel of Russian Stechkin is already pressing against the backs of their heads.
... defeated, confused and humiliated--this is how the US faces 25th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy and of the so called GWOT.
... from West's media-herpes, Putin is "humiliated" and "isolated" at BRICS. They invent all kinds of BS pulling it out of their asses, but we knew that about them, didn't we? So,
The BRICS countries have reached a banking agreement on BRICS Pay, which will actually become a payment system for the states of the association. This was announced by the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev. "We are focusing on the financial track. We lead the financial engagement group, and payments are very important here. And today we will announce a banking agreement on BRICS Pay, in fact, a payment system for the BRICS countries," Dmitriev said.
