#BRICS vs #G7
GDP Growth Forecasts for 2024 #IMF has released its real gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecasts for 2024, and while global growth is projected to stay steady at 3.2%, various major nations are seeing declining forecasts.
It's just a prediction, though.
IMF promotes propaganda whenever it can.
For the last two years it has been revising its forecasts, especially for #Russia every 2-3 months, so presumably BRICS numbers here will be much higher at the end. #Endgame
Barring some last-minute development, Iran is going to attack #Israel. The response and risk of escalation will depend.
As reported by multiple msm.
The Iraian Mullahs supply several terrorist groups: hamas, Hezbollah, IS, Houthis that rampage and terrorize the middle-east. IRGC terrorize Iranian citizens.
#Russia's economy is weak, but it has survived 13 rounds of #sanctions and is at war with #US, #NATO and #EU
Putin is unpopular, but he got 80% of the vote in the presence of thousands of foreign observers.
Russia is isolated, but 32 countries want to join the #BRICS.
Russian army is weak, weapons are old, soldiers untrained, but the whole West is losing solemnly in front of the whole world.
For years corporate media has been feeding you propaganda and yet some people still believe it...
LULA UNFAZED BY ISRAEL - Brazilian President takes a brave stand doubles down accusation of Israel committing genocide, despite being pushed to apologize and declared persona non grata in Israel.
Refusing to be bullied like others into retracting his opinion, insists he "will never give up dignity for a falsehood".
"I want to say loud and clear that the Prime Minister of Israel is carrying out genocide against women and children. This is a fact." - Lula.
We should make the #DNC Convention in #Chicago a total shit show worse than 1968 if #Biden doesn't use all possible leverage to force some kind of one state solution with equal rights for all on #Israel.
NOTE: the Chicago area has the largest Palestinian population in the #uspol
One detail I'd toss in here is that South Africa is not some neutral country that is only involved because of its moral indignation after overcoming Apartheid.
Rather, South Africa is a BRICS nation, just like Iran. Hamas is an Iranian proxy, so what we're seeing here are political allies double-teaming an American ally.
The 2024 Munich Security Index showed that the perception of Russia as a threat in countries of the Group of Seven (G7) and BRICS (except Russia) has dropped significantly compared to last year's survey.
Russia, the stone in the shoe of the globalist West. (Essay)
Since the beginning of the SMO in Ukraine, talking heads in the west have given the same regurgitated reasons for why Russia is the greatest threat Europe or even the world has ever known. About how Russia will leap-frog it's way from nation to nation if they are not stopped and Putin removed from power.
They however will not tell you of warnings in the late 90s by Russia, that a military alliance such as NATO is fine so long as it does not encroach it's way onto Russian borders. One only need to look at a map of NATO in it's infancy compared to now to understand the weed that is NATO and how it has not only expanded but done the very thing it promised Russia it would not do, expand upon Russian borders.
Russia had worked with Zelensky and Ukraine on a peace deal that was settled and ready to implement but in April of 2022 Boris Johnson arrived in Kiev at the behest of America and convinced Zelensky to tear up the peace agreement with Russia.
Russia knew NATO would not stop when it promised Ukraine a path to membership. Russia also knew that the people of the Donbass who cried out to Russia for help because Ukraine was killing them no hope if not for Russian intervention. It was then that not Putin alone but the entire Federation of Russian Assembly voted to begin the SMO in Ukraine and thus you have the actual truth for why Russia is in Ukraine.
But this alone is not the only reason western leaders hate Russia. You see Russia used to be accepted by the west. Durring the times after the fall of the Soviet Union and what the Russians remember as, "the terrible 90s," Russia was very much liked by the west. Of course this is when Russian oligarchs completely sold out Russia. The land was being picked dry and drained of wealth and resources. The economy a skeleton and the people and culture in decline.
This is until someone stepped from the shadows of obscurity and said enough. That someone was Vladimir Putin. Many, many years of hard work and scraping themselves up from near ruin now sees Russia thriving on every front but this also is STILL not the truth as to why Russia is hated by western leaders.
You see, the western globalists controlled by the World Economic Forum and World Health Organization types have a plan, a vision for the world and stubborn Russia refuses to bend the knee as America, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Australia the UK and others have. Putin realized that in order to be apart of the club would mean to sacrifice Russia on the alter of globalism. After seeing exactly what that agenda was Putin said no, and walked away to stand with his people.
There are some requirements in order to be apart of the globalist club of countries. You must sacrifice health-care, national identity, sovereignty, open your borders, remove religion, free speech, self defense, gender and family. You must embrace degeneracy, LGBTQ ideology, climate change agenda and place total control of all things into the government run out of Davos Switzerland.
Putin and Russia said no, we will remain Russia, we will keep our pride, our culture, protect our kids, our families our borders and reject the insanity we increasingly see from the west and globalists. The truth is that the west cannot force Russia to bend the knee because Russia has the strongest military on earth. Add to this the rise of BRICS which seeks to replace western hegemony economically across the world and we now see a much clearer picture as to the true motives of the west when they paint Russia as the great evil.
Brazilian imports of diesel from #Russia last year soared 4,600 per cent while purchases of fuel oil rose by almost 400 per cent, in a $8.6bn boost to the Russian economy as the war in #Ukraine enters its third year.
The Latin American nation also increased its purchases of fuel oil from Russia, with imports growing to $5.3bn last year from $1.1bn the previous year.
"Officials in #Moscow point to growing trade with China, military cooperation with Iran, diplomatic outreach in the Arab world and the expansion of the #BRICS grouping of major emerging economies — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — to include Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Ethiopia."
Wait until #Trump becomes President. US will become a #Russian province.
🇮🇷🇸🇦🇪🇬🇪🇹🇦🇪 Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates officially joined BRICS on January 1, 2024
The new bloc will represent approximately 46% of the world's population, accounting for 30% of global GDP in nominal terms and 37% of global GDP in purchasing power parity terms #AureFreePress#News#brics
Argentinien hat den Beitritt zur BRICS-Staatengemeinschaft offiziell abgelehnt. Das teilte der neue rechtspopulistische Präsident Milei in einem Brief an die Mitgliedsländer mit. Man wolle stattdessen bilaterale Beziehungen intensivieren.
Diplomacy is a funny old thing. Now that #Argentina is cooling on #BRICS membership, the BRICS side doesn't want us to say they were invited. It is more proper, you see, to say that BRICS accepted Argentina's application.
Flash back to August, and prepared remarks by the President of the Republic of South Africa in his capacity as BRICS chair, Cyril Ramaphosa: "We have decided to invite the Argentine Republic..."
«Rien ne s’est passé comme espéré pour Emmanuel Macron», constate avec désarroi Le Monde.
En déplacement à Dubaï pour la COP28, le chef d'Etat a tout d'abord tenté d'organiser une nouvelle tournée régionale, notamment pour rencontrer Mohammed Ben Salman.
Sans succès.
Le président français espérait alors au moins échanger avec le prince héritier saoudien à #Dubaï, mais ce dernier a finalement annulé sa venue.
En désespoir de cause, Emmanuel Macron s'est rabattu sur l'idée d'une simple table ronde avec des dirigeants arabes en marge de la #COP28.... mais aucun n'a daigné participer.
Le «soutien sans nuance» accordé à #Israël, qui donne une «caution morale et politique» à #Netanyahou et à son #génocide à #Gaza, semble porter ses fruits, comme le redoutaient récemment les diplomates.
Dégagé d’Afrique, humilié par #Washington ou encore récemment par le #Maroc, rembarré par les #BRICS, inexistant sur l'#Ukraine: les succès de #Macron à l'international sont sans commune mesure.
