In tandem he battled and defeated the headwinds. The final in the midst of its equivocality he put up a finesse to preempt his hegemony. Tonight, the dribble legend inexorably proved his virtuoso and delivered his legacy. Congratulations Messi on your meritorious glory.
A DREAM COME TRUE! 😘🏆
🚨This is a massive escalation in the war.
Israel and the U.S. just struck South Pars, Iran's largest gas field and the largest in the world.
South Pars accounts for 75% of Iran's gas production and gas fuels 85% of Iran's electricity grid.
This isn't just hitting military targets anymore. This is crippling civilian infrastructure that keeps the lights on for millions of Iranians.
Iran's tit-for-tat response: ordered evacuations at 4 major energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, plus refineries in Haifa, Israel.
Iran warned they'd retaliate for energy infrastructure strikes. Now they're announcing which facilities they're about to hit.
The message: if you destroy our grid, we'll destroy energy hubs in countries hosting your forces and strike yours directly.
This is a new phase. Both sides are now openly targeting critical energy infrastructure that affects entire populations.

When people talk about oil, they usually think power comes from who has it, and for a long time the United States has used that power through sanctions, pricing, and control over global financial systems, but something else is slowly coming into focus now..
Russia and China are not trying to control oil in the same way, they are moving closer to the routes through which it travels, China building its presence in places like Djibouti near critical sea lanes, Russia strengthening its role around energy and security..
If you think about it simply, it’s like one person owning the water while another controls the pipe, even if you have the supply, the person who manages the flow can still shape how and when it reaches others.
History has seen this kind of shift before, the British Empire didn’t own every resource, but it controlled the sea routes, and that allowed it to influence global trade far beyond its size, and something similar may be slowly forming again, where the United States still holds strong influence over money and sanctions.
China and Russia are positioning themselves closer to movement and access, and once more than one player starts standing near those paths, power doesn’t disappear, it starts getting distributed in a different way.
So this is not just about oil, it’s about a quiet change in how the world works, where control is no longer only about what you own, but also about how much of the journey you can shape
Why isn't China intervening to stop the US war of aggression against Iran?
Somehow this is still a question people are asking, so I will explain.
1. China's military is built to defend China within and along its borders against a massive and growing US military build-up all along its peripheries ongoing for decades.
Its forces are organized around hardware designed specifically for this purpose - not to project military power around the globe like the US does - and the US has these capabilities because it is an aggressor - not for national defense.
China literally has no ability to project the military power required to confront and successfully stop a full-scale US war of aggression on the other side of the planet with the capabilities it has for national defense;
2. In order to launch this war on Iran - the US spent decades building up a network of global and regional bases, logistical networks, ammunition depots, fuel dumps, regional integrated air defense capabilities etc. to first encircle Iran - then attack it.
China would be required to create an equal or greater network throughout the region to stop this- and this simply isn't possible;
3. The US built its network up through both politically capturing nations in the region (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait) and invading/occupying them (Iraq & Syria).
China simply doesn't conduct its foreign policy this way - because if it did - it would be just as bad as the US itself;
4. If you think China could simply project military power over the horizon - this is even more difficult and unrealistic. This requires huge amounts of long-range aircraft, immense aerial refueling capabilities, and long-range munitions as well as forward bases at least near the region to do so.
Sending naval vessels would simply place them at the mercy of a better prepared and more extensive military positions the US has established over decades as explained above;
5. What China has likely done is all that it could do - provide economic support against illegal US sanctions, provide technical/material support for Iran's military industrial production, provide military support through the transfer of weapons and equipment.
All of these have their limits especially in terms of the transfer of military equipment to Iran - which takes YEARS to train Iranian personnel on EFFECTIVELY, as well as to integrate it through training in modern combined arms operations.
This last point regarding the amount of time it takes to effectively integrate new military hardware into a military is exactly why Ukraine has failed to absorb and fully utilize floods of Western weapons and equipment in the US proxy war on Russia being waged there.
CONCLUSION
There are real-world limitations on what nations like Russia and China can do against US wars of aggression elsewhere especially considering the fact the US is waging proxy war on both Russia and China at the same time it wages direct war on Iran.
Russia and China are doing what is realistic and within their capabilities - and are constantly expanding their own capabilities in order to do more when possible.
Do not confuse real limitations with a lack of concern or will - and realize blaming Russia or China for a US WAR OF AGGRESSION simply serves Washington's agenda - not Iran's or any of its allies.

🚨Pay attention. This is not idle chatter and it is not a joke.
Denmark and Greenland envoys do not walk into the White House unless something serious is on the table. They certainly do not follow it up with Marco Rubio meetings unless there is a strategic objective already moving through channels.
This is classic Trump. Quiet leverage first. Strategic pressure second. Public resolve last.
Greenland is not about real estate. It is about Arctic dominance, energy security, missile defense, shipping lanes, rare earth minerals, and cutting off Russia and China at the knees before they lock down the North Atlantic and Arctic routes.
Whoever controls Greenland controls the high ground of the next century.
Russia knows it. China knows it. That is why they are furious already.
For decades, America talked while our adversaries moved. Trump flips that script. He moves while others talk. Then he tells the world exactly what is happening.
If this deal gets done, it redraws the global chessboard overnight. NATO security hardens. Chinese expansion stalls. Russian Arctic ambitions shrink fast.
America First means thinking 20 years ahead, not reacting 20 years too late.
This is leadership. This is strategy. This is strength.
Time to acquire Greenland. 🇺🇸🇬🇱
Most of you with CNN knowledge will see this news and jump and say I told you so just to be politically correct but in truth you don't know much of what is going on

🇮🇷 WHY IRAN’S REGIME STILL ISN’T SHAKING… EVEN AS THE STREETS ERUPT
The protests in Iran are angrier, bolder, and more persistent than any in recent memory.
What began as outrage over inflation and a collapsing currency has turned into open revolt against the entire system.
Chants like “Death to the dictator” are no longer isolated.
They’re routine.
But if the regime looks fragile from the outside, it doesn’t act like it.
Because it knows something most outsiders forget: the Islamic Republic was designed for exactly this. It is built to survive rage.
The real pressure point isn’t in the streets.
It’s inside the power structure.
IRGC, the intelligence networks, the clerical establishment, and the judiciary form a self-reinforcing machine.
Unless that machine starts breaking from within, nothing changes.
The 1979 revolution only succeeded when the system cracked open at the top.
The Shah didn’t fall because the crowds grew louder.
He fell after oil strikes froze the economy and key military commanders stopped following orders.
The regime collapsed inward.
Today’s ruling class knows that history.
That’s why they tolerate economic pain, international sanctions, and even massive protests.
As long as the security elite stays loyal, street unrest can be absorbed, deflected, or crushed.
What’s more, Iran’s ruling institutions don’t just enforce power… they distribute it.
Patronage networks tie generals to clerics, clerics to courts, and all of them to state-run monopolies.
It’s not ideology keeping the regime stable. It’s mutual self-interest.
Until those ties weaken - until someone at the top decides the costs outweigh the benefits - Iran’s system won’t fall.
It will bend, absorb, and reassert itself.
Just like it has before.

I Have No Further Political Ambition After Being Governor- Alex Otti
Abia State Governor Dr. Alex Otti , OFR has restated his long-standing position that he will retire from active politics after he is done with Governorship, insisting that he has no presidential, vice presidential or senatorial ambition after his governorship position.
Governor Otti explained this on Friday, December 19, 2025, at Government House Umuahia while reacting to a viral video, in which someone was berating him over his recent visit to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the Sokoto Correctional Centre, alleging that he is nursing presidential or vice presidential ambition after the end of his tenure.
The Governor while acknowledging that
divergence of opinion is part of democracy, said everyone is free to hold an opinion and that such opinion may not be right.
"In the first place, that is the beauty of democracy. So people should hold their opinion, and we respect people's opinion. And that you hold a different opinion doesn't mean you are right.
"One of the things he talked about was my ambition after being Governor.
"And I had said it before, and I want to say it again, that by the time I'm done with governorship, I will retire.
"So I don't have presidential ambition, nor vice-presidential ambition. I also don't have senatorial ambition when I finish with governorship.
"I came on a mission and when I deliver that mission, I will give way for younger people”. So he was talking of Igbo presidency. I don't even understand what that means.
"So I think if his thesis is based on that assumption, the assumption has collapsed, because he won't see me on the ballot", the Governor stated .
According to Governor Otti, it is important for a political office holder to know when to quit, especially when he has done what he is asked to do.
"When you have done what you have been asked to do, you must take the exit door and give way for other people. We've seen people here, after being Governor, who went back to become Local Government Chairmen.
That's not what we are here for. We are not cut out for those kind of things".
The Governor who used the opportunity to explain his reasons for visiting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Sokoto Correctional Center, said "The second point is about Nnamdi Kanu. And I don't want to put this matter in the public space so that it doesn't derail the discussions that we are having.
"The truth about it is that exactly 24 months ago, I opened up discussions at the highest level on Nnamdi Kanu.
"And going to see him is the right thing to do, because he comes from my state. In fact, he comes from this Local Government (Umuahia North - the State Capital).
"And there are always different ways to solve a problem. I don't believe that the way to solve a problem is to ignore it. And I had written extensively, even about Nnamdi Kanu and Operation Pyton Dance, I think in 2017 or 2018. And I condemned it.
"And I still condemn it. I cannot vouch for some of the recordings that the gentleman put in his video, where he said Nnamdi Kanu called for mutiny, I don't know about that!. But then, I do know that two wrongs do not make a right", The Governor explained.
Governor Otti who insisted that he knows, that when an issue has been approached from the legal point of view, there is also another window, called " the administrative point of view"
"I'm not a lawyer. And if the judiciary says the man has been sentenced to life imprisonment, that is certainly not the end. Because that's the court of first instance, there’s still an opportunity to appeal, and then an opportunity to even go to the Supreme Court.
"But what we are trying to do is to intervene. I'm not a supporter of the disintegration of Nigeria.
"So my position is that it would be insensitive of me to sit here and say one of our own who has been convicted should die when we have an opportunity to discuss, negotiate, and sue for peace. Even people convicted to death can be pardoned. That’s
Undisputed Reality!
@felixherbt @ruffydfire Council of State approves nomination. President Tinubu nominated Professor Joash, he's right.
Dear Senator @tedcruz,
Thanks for making the effort to introduce your bill.
However, this is not nearly enough. The United States government actually OWES NIGERIANS more than just a symbolic bill where the issue of Christian and Indigenous Nigerian Genocide is concerned.
It is now a matter of congressional record that USAID was a main funder of Boko Haram during the Obama administration.
It is also a fact that as Secretary of State, @HillaryClinton refused efforts to get Boko Haram designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation, thus denying the @GEJonathan administration an important partnership that would have crushed the now malignant and entrenched insurgency in weeks.
The same @BarackObama administration invoked the Leahy law when Nigeria tried to buy weapons for the effort to stop Boko Haram.
@BarackObama's close associate, David Axelrod's AKPD Media, was directly involved in the campaign of the @OfficialAPCNg's @MBuhari, a self-avowed Sharia advocate, whose Muslim supporters massacred hundreds of Christians and Southerners across the North after he lost the 2011 elections to @GEJonathan.
Obama's involvement did not stop there. On the eve of the the 2015 elections, by which time, the USAID-funded Boko Haram had wreaked enough havoc to make the Jonathan administration look weak, despite having the strongest economy Nigeria has ever had, @BarackObama took the unprecedented step of addressing Nigerian citizens DIRECTLY about regime change on YouTube.
The interference was unprecedentedly blatant and backed by American funds.
The chaos we see in Nigeria today was largely made in the United States, by the United States government of Barack Hussein Obama.
This must be addressed.
Not that this will accomplish anything, since you people hit the "off" switch inside your brains once your religion is mentioned, but for the benefit of the roughly 9 teachable people left in Nigerja, here is what is REALLY happening around you:
1. China is winning the economic war with the US, and the US is aware that it can no longer compete industrially with China, which is already a larger economy than the US in PPP terms. The only reason the US economy is still nominally larger is that the US dollar remains wildly overvalued due to its use as the global reserve currency.
2. The rise of BRICS means that the end of the US dollar as global reserve currency is coming. Once that happens, the US economy will implode, because it is built on exporting USD and importing the world's productivity. Without the overvalued USD as an imperial tool for controlling and extracting from the rest of the planet, the US will basically become Brazil with nuclear warheads.
3. The Trump administration knows this, which is why it has gone into full imperial mode, renaming the DoD to "Department of War," and preparing to deploy the US military across Latin America as part of its 'Monroe Doctrine.' The idea is to secure land, resources, and spheres of influence to compete with China and Russia, since it is no longer the unilateral superpower.
4. In this new multipolar world whose birth you are witnessing, there will be 3 or 4 great powers instead of just one, and all of them will compete and jostle for influence and access to resources. That is what you are witnessing playing out in Nepal, Bangladesh, the Sahel, the Middle East, Venezuela, and many other places. Yes, there are local factors, but everything exists in this wider context of a world being reshaped in front of our eyes.
5. During this reshaping of the world, Africa - the only continent with a majority of its states professing 'nonalignment' with any great power - is the biggest prize that is up for grabs. All of tomorrow's technology, which guarantees economic and military supremacy is built on resources found in DR Congo, Northern Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan and Somalia. (What unique security situation do all these places have in common?)
6.During this reshaping, "international institutions" are debased and made irrelevant. Bibi Netanyahu has an ICC arrest warrant that nobody will honour, and the US government sanctioned the ICC for issuing the warrant, even locking the ICC Chief Prosecutor out of his email and bank accounts. The UN has officially declared Gaza to be a genocide - and nothing happened. And nothing will happen because these "institutions" no longer have of the teeth they once pretended to have.
7. This means that the days of one state cooking up a reason to invade or annex another state - something expressly forbidden since 1945 - are now back. And since Africa has what everybody wants, any great power is now free to deploy a geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants. In other words, colonialism is coming back - not IMF/World Bank, suit-wearing, conference-attending, Business-English-speaking, polite neo-colonialism, but open, obvious colonial theft and thuggery. This is not decades away - it is a few years away at the most.
8. Russia considers Europe to be its rightful sphere of influence and trade dominance. Hence it views European access to cheap African resources as a threat. Thus Russia is stepping in to provide military and infrastructure support for African states so that they can start to use their own resources for themselves and leave Europe dependent on Russia. Europe and the US see this as an existential threat, hence their proxy war in Ukraine and their new geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") to justify direct military occupation of West Africa.
9. No great power gives a single fuck about "Nigerian Christian genocide." All you are is a means to an end!
@Imranmuhdz Your cacophony of rantings and cries shows your ignorance in desperation. Nobody is deluding himself here, rather than your agitated gasp at seeing GEJ thrash your pay master. Funny man.

SCO 2025 SUMMIT: HOW THE NEW WORLD ORDER WAS BORN IN CHINA! PT. 1
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday announced that the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation member states have decided to set up a Development Bank to increase the efficiency and social development of the region. - NDT
This is the news I was waiting for. Pretty sure you’ve read and seen it across diverse media platforms, but there’s so much more to it than meets the eyes.
Simply put, a New World Order is born. In seismology, this can be regarded as a 10.9 magnitude geopolitical earthquake, and I’m not sure most western leaders saw this coming. In years to come, this 2025 SCO summit will be remembered as the summit on whose bloodthirsty altars the terminally ill unipolar world order was brutally sacrificed. Now, let’s unpack this historic geopolitical tectonic shift.
First of all, setting up this development bank is a Chinese proposal to the group, and it has taken ten whole years for them to now suddenly reach an agreement on actually going forward with it. So, why did it take so long to reach an agreement on this all-important proposal? I’ll explain, but before I do, let’s try to understand what the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is really all about.
Shanghai Corporation organization (SCO) was established in 2001 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. It is a political, economic and international security organization of Eurasian origin. “EURASIAN origin” means the nations that make it up come from both Europe and Asia. In 2017, it expanded to eight countries with the membership of India and Pakistan. In 2023, Iran joined the group and in July of 2024, Belarus joined, bringing the total number of member states to ten.
It was Shanghai Five which was formed in 1996 by China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan that later gave birth to the SCO in 2001. So basically, the SCO was originally formed in 1996 as Shanghai Five and only took a new name, -SCO- in 2001. The aim had always been to create a counterbalance to what they deemed an overbearing, intimidating, obstructionist hegemonic influence of the unipolar world system controlled by the Global North.
It was for this reason that the organization, after it had metamorphosed from Shanghai Five to Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), began seeking ways to widely integrate the Global South nations into its fold, which then led to the establishment of BRIC on June 16, 2009 featuring three of the SCO member states - Russia, India and China, but now including including Brazil, hence BRIC. South Africa would later join in September of 2010, after which it became BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) Many other countries in the global south have since found BRICS attractive enough to join the fold, both as permanent members and as observer nations. Between 2024 and 2025 BRICS admitted Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, increasing number of member states from 5 to 11, with so many other nations, mostly from the Global South, either on the membership wait list of as observer nations.
Xi Jinping is quoted as saying that the SCO has become “the world’s largest regional organization,” with 26 countries engaged in cooperation across 50 areas and a combined GDP of nearly USD 30 trillion.” - mahdyamam
So, back to the proposal for a Development Bank - why did it take ten whole years to reach an agreement on something that was obviously going to guarantee both financial and economic freedom for the SCO member states and by extension, the global south nations? How could an idea that was structured from the start to check the excesses of the arrogant and reckless Unipolar World Order, be allowed to linger for ten years without an agreement? Was it all by design?
Obviously the west knew what would happen if the unity of the founding nations of the SCO was allowed to flourish. Little wonder it appeared as though mechanisms have been put in place to ensure there was division amongst these nations - China was not to see eye to eye with India and India was not to sit at tables with Pakistan, as Russia is left to run from pillar to post in futility, trying to mend these broken kindred fences.
China shares a 3,488 kilometer long border with India, making it one of the longest shared border by any two nations on earth, second only to the 4,630km border China shares with Mongolia and third to the 6,691km border that Argentina shares with Chile. In 2017, during the Doklam standoff, India opposed China’s road construction near the Bhutanese border and it ended in a 73 - day military confrontation between China and India. Again in June 2020, during a territorial dispute along the China-India Line of Actual Control (LAC) military confrontation between the two nations resulted in the death of soldiers on both sides, making it the first time military casualties had been recorded since these confrontations started years back. With the 2020 clash, the seeds of division and enmity between the two Asian giants seemed to have been sealed in blood.
@AloyEjimakor @avidusa @FCDOGovUK Another rhetoric that'll mount no pressure on the British Government, but rather bloat their status and maintain dominance. This solution is not in the hands of peripheral powers, but in the direct hands of our Igbo elders and power gladiators who've refused to speak up.
