This is relevant to your interests: Useful stats.
‘Israel’s Tank Army Is Toast’
‘Israel’—the flagship franchise of McGenocide—is already toast. American media covers up ‘Israeli’ losses and hypes up their terrorism even more than the ‘Israeli’ media, but the information is there if you look. Let’s look at just one example because I’ve seen a lot of them burning myself. ‘Israel’s’ homemade Merkava tanks, which are being returned to sender as Palestinians retake their home.
[,,,] Before we discuss tanking, we must know how many tanks ‘Israel’ had, and how quickly they can reproduce them. According to The Military Balance 2024, ‘Israel’ has 400 of their locally produced (MkIV) tanks in service, with 900 older models in storage. I have to go back to Military Balance 2021 to find any change in MkIV supply, back then they had 330. That gives us a reproduction rate of roughly 110 per year.

Now Turkey is bombing Kurds in Iraq and Syria, just because two gunners shot up a factory. Anyone seen proof they were Kurdish militants?
Why doesn’t Erdogan do something useful and send those troops through Syria to Lebanon and backup freedom fighters against the real terrorists?

There are rumors circulating that he could send troops to (and not through) Syria. … and perhaps Irak too.
His proxy army of takfiris couldn’t cause the promised trouble in Syria, so may be he takes over and service Zionist Apartheid regime himself.

Since 1948, this is the first time #Israel is under daily bombing of around 200 rockets. It has become normal to see missiles falling daily, people in the north are displaced, Haifa is bombed and Tel Aviv is regularly hit. Israel made a serious mistake and doesn’t know what it is hit with.

Re: Israel’s Tank Army Is Toast’
Good article; some comments
1) he guessitmates production of 100/year. 2/week feels way too high. I’d be surprised if capacity is 2-a month. Certain components like the gun barrel or massive bearing gear for the turret are simply bottlenecks that take years to ramp up production.
2) wiki says IDF Merkavas of all types mothballed and active are ~1,800 units. The earliest types are ancient but still useful against Al-Qassem infantry. The resistance does occasionally announce when they attack a Mk4 model, so one might infer that the mothballed versions are also now active.
3) please send him my tally and explain that I’ve been daily tracking since day 1;
Merkava tally as of 24.Oct
240 destroyed
683 approx damage

As someone who has maintained a fleet of vehicles before I can tell you that “damage” means you’re hanging off a thin thread if you drive the thing.
Anyone trying to drive a “damaged” tank (truck, train car, cargo plain) is dicing with his life at an extreme level under good conditions, never mind wartime conditions.
So some hopeful dreamers out there thinking “tis but a scratch” better thing again …

We all need to shout “Ethnic Cleansing” from the rooftop……..strange how its OK for the IDF to slaughter civilians in North Gaza in an ethnic cleansing operation…….but when the Serbs launched a legit counter insurgency operation against the Jihadis in Kosovo in 1999 all of NATO attacked the Serbs……….
Again the IDF is throwing down the Holocaust card to prevent any MSM coverage or criticism…………of their genocide…….and its working….nearly zero coverage of the slaughter of those seeking water, food and medical aid in North Gaza. Hundreds of civilians summarily executed by IDF snipers and tank fire as they seek to obtain the basics of human life. No warning just shot dead in the streets.
Bibi now has Joementia Biden exactly where he wants him…..he can engage in genocide in North Gaza with out any fear, at least until 11/5 when the US national election takes place. Biden could and will not cut off IDF ammo supplies (even if he wanted to) before the election, because AIPAC would go berserk and cost Kamyhoe Harris big time votes and cash. So Biden is effectively boxed in.

agreed, especially the statement I read of by China. milquetoast.
Xi: “At the same time, the ongoing deepening of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the outbreak of a new war in Lebanon are reminders of the ongoing escalation of conflicts between the parties….”
notice the passive voice. there’s no agency. no… israel! I guess these kind of things just happen, war ‘breaks out’ and there’s a ‘humanitarian crisis’, and that it isn’t, uh… sssssh!…. israel that’s committing genocide and ethnic cleansing and starving 100s of thousands to death in Gaza, and bombing the shit out of civilian neighborhoods etc etc in Lebanon/Beirut too.
russia and china, and others, still mouth nonsense about a two-state solution. hahahaha. that train left decades ago, folks. israel and the US-centralized Empire have no intention of ever, ever accepting any real Palestinian state. only the axis of Resistance now can send israel to hell, meaning bankruptcy, a failed state, and massive emigration…
for the world’s people who are sickened by it all, all the war crimes of israel, sanctions and international isolation are the only things that are going to cut it, BRICS.
It’s all been laid out, too, what the world’s nations (and corporations) should do, have to do, need to do, and are obligated to do under, by the recent World Court opinions, the ICJ rulings. it’s all spelled out as clear as day.

This is significant – for who now, will put out the fires and try and rescue those trapped or injured from strewn rubble, or from Zionist snipers shooting civilians indiscriminately.
“Gaza’s Civil Defense Forced to Withdraw From N Gaza Amid Israeli Threats
Gaza’s Civil Defense agency has withdrawn from northern Gaza due to threats from Israeli forces, spokesman Mahmoud Basal stated.
“Several team members have been targeted and injured, with others lying on the streets, bleeding, with no one able to rescue them,” he said.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warned that civilians in northern Gaza are rapidly exhausting all available means for survival under the ongoing Israeli siege.”

A review of the history of BRICS which goes back some time, is to move forward quietly, but with high levels of continuity. Not an organization given to bold statements – also, not an organization which uses overt warfare or sanctions as blunt tools for commanding obedience (but these never engender respect). However, the strength and breadeth of affiliation creates a reliable and powerful network for back channeling, building policy and support outside of public purview. Very important in the current situation wherein many countries privilege there own stability. Not without good reason, the big and littler irredentist hegemons are feared – making covert actions imperative. Nonetheless change is coming – in the financial domain as well as geopolitical reorganizations which are also very much in progress. Expect a series of unanticipated seeming black swans.

A mother from #Jabalia says:
“They took all the children from their mothers and put them inside what resembled a pit or a hole. The tank came to circle around them repeatedly until their bones cracked under the pressure of dust and sand, amidst the screams of children and the wailing of mothers.
“After that, the soldiers came and started throwing the children towards the mothers, and whoever caught a child was ordered to carry him and move away quickly, with no guarantee that the child would be their own.
“Many mothers carried children who were not their own, and were forced to leave with them, leaving their own children in the hands of other mothers.
This marked the beginning of a new chapter of suffering, with mothers searching for their children in the arms of other women, trying to calm the children they held until they found their real mothers.“

Turkey HAS troops in Syria causing much grief for the Syrian nation. Troops that are both directly occupying a very large territory but also shielding an equally large area held by various Al Qaeda affiliates.
Fighting against Israel for the benefit of Lebanon would be completely uncharacteristic of Turkey. Those Al Qaeda affiliates were pushing hard to spill into Lebanon, fighting against Hezbollah.

Are you young, naive or both? The name of the game for the USA is full spectrum global dominance.
An essential component to achieve that objective, besides outright military power and financial/economic control levers, is total media and narrative saturation.
With message control, it’s essential to be perceived as holding moral authority, for the sheep to believe they are fighting for a ‘just cause’.
OK, there’s two basic options available to craft a particular story in the desired manner: (a) territorial integrity or (b) self determination.
The west cast Ukraine & Israel under option A, whereas for Serbia we utilized B.
This isn’t hard – in fact it’s very rote and mundane. I would find working for an NGO or somevother tactical outfit very boring.
The fun part, the intrigue and analysis, is evaluating potentional outcomes and making appropriate bets.
We can see it in action today, the flood of capital out of Israel to Cyprus, the jostling for position in the new oblasts once Russia declares any prior agreements with Blackrock are null & void, the international FX market games playing with treasuries and interest rates, etc
Crying over all the unfairness in the world is for wimps and sissies.

There is an apparently sparsely attended “donor conference” for Lebanon being held in Paris. The purpose of the event, for the western countries, is to leverage the promise of future humanitarian aid (to rebuild areas destroyed by Israel using weapons supplied by same western countries) with implementation of UNSC1701 on terms favourable to Israel. The promise of a ceasefire is based on this. The western countries are trying to assume a leading role in brokering the injection of foreign troops, beyond UNIFIL, into South Lebanon to serve as a policing force directed against Hezbollah.
During the original negotiations over 1701 back in 2006, Israel envisioned a NATO force in South Lebanon with full Chapter VII authority – meaning it would be authorized to engage in military action (this later occurred in Libya). From 2006 through 2023, Israel itself violated the terms of 1701 over 30,000 times (Lebanese government count), or approx five times a day every single day.
This conference is going nowhere. It does appear that Israel, and its western sponsors, had convinced themselves the run of decapitation strikes would be enough to impose Israel’s terms. That gambit has failed. A strike against Iran would require a massive refuelling effort just to get close, no element of surprise and surely followed by an enormous missile barrage in response. The Resistance attrition strategy is being effective, and it is possible to at least glimpse a ceasefire mechanism not on Israel’s terms, and instead of western Israel-friendly “peacekeepers” in South Lebanon there will be Global South peacekeepers in what are now occupied territories.

“Our Job Is to Flatten Gaza. No One Will Stop Us.”
Inside one Israeli battalion’s yearlong mission of destruction

…..Journalists Younis Tirawi and Sami Vanderlip have managed to find and archive all the Instagram stories and daily posts shared by the soldiers of one key unit, Israel’s 749 Combat Engineering Battalion.
They’ve mapped out the structure of the unit and identified the individual soldiers and officers involved, along with their various roles in operations. They have tracked the activities of each company in the battalion, including what they were doing, when, and where, as the force shred their way through Gaza.
The mission is nothing less than a systematic, concerted, and deliberate effort to erase the intellectual, cultural, and social future of the Palestinian people. “Our job is to flatten Gaza,” the soldiers of the official D9 company of the battalion wrote on their Instagram page. They added, accurately: “No one will stop us.”

“Hostage” Release exchange in the works:

https://tass.com/world/1861563
Russian delegation arrives in Israel to discuss hostage release deal — TV
On October 23, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Russian Presidential Envoy for the Middle East and Africa, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov discussed the situation in the Gaza Strip at a meeting in Moscow with Hamas Political Bureau Deputy Chairman Mousa Abu Marzook
DOHA, October 24. /TASS/. A high-ranking Russian delegation arrived in Tel Aviv on Thursday to discuss with Israel the prospects of concluding an agreement with the Palestinian Hamas movement on the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip, the Dubai-based Al Hadath TV channel reported, citing sources.
https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israels-netanyahu-welcomes-egypts-willingness-advance-gaza-hostage-deal-2024-10-24/
“JERUSALEM, Oct 24 (Reuters) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that he welcomed Egypt’s willingness to advance a deal for the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip.”
At least we know what Egypt & Hamas were doing at BRICS Tuesday.
No comment. Prisoner exchanges are normal when able in wartime.
The prisoners are doing Hamas no good as leverage as obviously Nuttyahoo would rather see them killed anyways.
Palestinian prisoners will get released, no idea how many.
US will look completely inept and will be angry being sidestepped.
Nuttyahoo won’t say a word about Russian assistance, just praise Egypt as if Blinken in DOHA got this done.
For days there will be press hooting and howling about Israel/US great achievement getting “hostages” released.
Anything to help the election.
And all will stay silent on genocide.

As soon as there is no straight condemnation of Israel disporportionate response and a direct verbalization and recognition of the ongoing genocide on the part of Israel, and its sponsor the US, over Gaza and Lebanon, the BRICS will not be but an alternative association for continuing business as usual in late capitalist world…all the more when the UN rest helpless uncapable of doing anything against Israel…
The savers of civilizational human values the BRICS, thus, they are not….they are there saving their money from Western plundering hand…period….meanwhile, people can continue being blown into pieces and starved to death in mass…

I am aware that the Russian and Chinese way is leaving the issues to rot by themselves, over the years, no matter how many people dies at the hands of these shaitans.
Israel, of course, has no remedie, after all what the people of the world have witnesses….
They will nede to erradicate us all so that we can not remeber all what wee have been watching during all these months…
No matter what the plenipotenciary ministers of Putin do, we will remember…and we will nor forgive…
I had not said this before, but, from my part, Israeli society is dead. Period. They raised this maniac government,s and thye kept it there comitting this genocide, with just a bucnh of them making batucadas and having a good time while the Palestinians are blow to pieces.
If the powerful of the world have no will to write this sad episode in the books of history, it will be the people´s memory who will do it, as always has happened….No wonder they want us all being transhuman…so that they can manipukate our minds and get all these records out…no way, in a remote island..in a high mountain there will be a person or a group of them who will hold the fire….
I had the wish to travel to Holy Land before this, but I will not put a foot there until Palestine is free…from the river to the sea…and I will be very careful of not buying a thing made in Israel out of such carnage….for the rsto of my life…
Let them rot there in those stolen lands and end killing each other, that they will do, like all fanatics in the world have been…

Germany is complicit in the war crimes being committed in Gaza and now in Lebanon. As truthfully said by Nicaragua’s ambassador to the Netherland when filed an ICJ case in May: “Germany seems not to be able to differentiate between self-defense and genocide”. Your country has been showing an ugly anti-Palestinian racism and censored Palestinian voices since the beginning of the atrocities, not to mention funding the genocide. Your government has provided arms export to 🇮🇱 worth 325 mill. USD in 2023, which is a tenfold increase compared to 2022.

Thank you, Don, for your post with the article.
Thank you, Exile and others for what you’re sharing on the losses of the IOF.
You’ve helped me make sense of a report by German state broadcaster “tagesschau” on our weapons exports to Israel.
Apparently, the volume of German government export licenses for weapons going to Israel has increased spectacularly SINCE AUGUST OF THIS YEAR.
In the whole of 2023, Germany exported military equipment worth 326 million € to Israel. Allegedly, only 20 million € of those were actual weapons or ammunition. You know, they do make this distinction between delivering for example the gun for a tank or a power unit for the same tank.
To my surprise, the report I linked says export licenses were drastically reduced in the beginning of 2024. But that’s already a thing of the past it seems. In a very recent, but still not quite up-to-date government statement, they estimated export requests would amount to 46 million € by the month of October 2024. However, the most recent statement on the same matter, now taking into account the time since Israel’s recent Lebanon incursion, gives a number that’s twice the amount – 94 million €. So Israel’s demand has kind of doubled in just a few weeks. My guess is a lot of it will be for spare parts for Merkavas, like the EuroPowerPack. Makes me think your tallies are in fact reasonable.

Well it seems we are in a kind of “Oktoberfest” of destroyed Merkava tanks by Hezbollah in Lebanon, you can see what a difference is between bombing children from planes 10.000m high to fight hezb warriors hand to hand! The cowards cannot advance more than a few hundreds meters before retreating.
The hezbollah warriors are salivating with the prospect of seeing a huge child-murderer armored push inside Lebanon with 4 divisions and 200 Merkavas as “schwerpunkt”, then you will hear of dozens of Mekava destroyed per day nor 4 or 5.
As Sayyed Nasrallah once said to the child-murderers: “one tank inside Lebanon is one tank lost”, so 200 Mekavas deep inside Lebanon will never return to Occupied Palestine.
For sure this could end the war quickly.

Annalena Baerbock wants Hezbollas with all its social and economic infrastructure erased so that the German people can not compare what they manage to do in neighborhoods like Dahiyeh with their scarce budget, where no elder has the necessity to have two parcial time jobs to survive after retirement, with the current missmanagement by the hands of her government which has ruined German industry and economy and have not had better idea than to reconvert the German economy to war industry taking advantage of the wars initiated by their occupant authority in Ukraine and the Middle East through their proxies, Ukrainian and Israeli nazis…

I, for one, am not looking for “leadership”. The current and last “global leaders of the world”, mucked it all up good.
China and Russia aren’t interested in being the new replacements of the one world order.
A return to sovereignty & minding your own business is at hand.
I do wholly agree with this :
“The savers of civilizational human values the BRICS, thus, they are not….they are there saving their money from Western plundering hand…period….”
And this:
“In the end, it will be the people of Palestine and the world who will fight all the evil which Israel encloses since its creation.”
I’m not sure how this fight for emancipation will shake out, but I am quite confident that Israel’s crimes will not go unanswered in future. No matter how it appears, Israel is not “getting away” with their deeds. This evil will be answered.
On the other hand, evil appears to get rewarded.
I know you were dismayed by BRICS, but I saw many address the Gaza/Israel issue. Far more addressed that “war” than Ukraine. South African Ramophosa was very impressive. I will always be grateful and speak with respect to the South Africans immediate (as fast as legally possible anyways) response to the genocide. There were many who spoke against these crimes boldly and fearlessly. Which even speaking like this is something. In addition, I believe there were multiple behind the scenes discussions & plans on how to end the genocide. Very difficult when an armed superpower insists on bloodshed and blowing up ME with more genocidal intentions for ME.

Why doesn’t Erdogan do something useful and send those troops through Syria to Lebanon and backup freedom fighters against the real terrorists?
Because When the Ottomans was defeated a new power took hold of Turkie
Let me present Pasha Talaat- the genozider of Armenia- 33degree Freemason
From the article
His salary was not high, so he worked after hours as a Turkish language teacher in the Alliance Israelite School which served the Jewish community of Adrianople.[21] At the age of 21 Talaat was involved in a love affair with the daughter of the Jewish headmaster for whom he worked.[22]
Invitations from Hayriye and the Orient Club were sent to Talaat’s funeral, and on 19 March, he was buried in the Alter St.-Matthäus-Kirchhof in a well-attended ceremony.[119][115] At 11:00 a.m., prayers led by the imam of the Turkish embassy, Şükri Bey, were held at Talaat’s apartment. Afterwards, a large procession accompanied the coffin to Matthäus, where he was interred.[115] Many prominent Germans paid their respects, including former foreign ministers Richard von Kühlmann and Arthur Zimmermann, along with the former head of Deutsche Bank, the ex-director of the Baghdad railway, several military personnel who had served in the Ottoman Empire during the war and August von Platen-Hallermünde, attending on behalf of the exiled Kaiser Wilhelm II.[118] The German foreign office sent a wreath with a ribbon saying, “To a great statesman and a faithful friend.

Then you also remember BG was ‘the’ go-to preacher for almost every POTUS except JFK – because he was a catholic – and was very close friends with LBJ and Nixon. Originally a baptist but embraced the evangelical loonies later on. He was a radical anti-communist but he did normally preach peace and social justice, supporting MLK as he also opposed segregation, and didn’t really get into the political like some did (Falwell, dobson, etal)
I guess as a leader in the fairy tale world, he was on the better side.

@54,
Venezuela like Cuba is on of the prime targets for US for coup de etat in Latin America. While the economic situation in Venezuela has improved over the year when it comes to inflation and risks, they are still vulnerable to any economic shocks. After the latest elections which a lot of western countries and even Latin countries try to destabilize the country, I would’ve expected to get it’s well deserved invitation into the partner system in BRICS.
Turns out that Brazil was against even an invitation to the partner status which leaves Madura vulnerable at home. It seems that BRICS still has the tendency to invite some useless countries but reject countries that are closer to those so called “values” that they seem to aspire.
But as I mentioned in different topic, I’m really glad that Cuba is in the list though .. they truly deserve it, maybe now they can slowly remove the sanction shackles that they had for many decades.

BREAKING: Israeli forces gather large numbers of children and women into a hole and surround them with gunfire before allowing them to flee from the northern Gaza Strip.
According to a testimony from one of the women in Jabalia:
“They took all the children from their mothers and put them in something resembling a pit or a hole. The tank came and circled around them several times until they were covered in dirt and sand, amidst the screams of children and the wailing of mothers. After that, the soldiers came and started throwing the children in the direction of the mothers. If a mother picked up a child, she had to carry them and move quickly without confirming that the child was indeed hers.
Many of the mothers picked up children that weren’t theirs, forced to leave with other women’s children. Here, a new chapter of suffering begins, as a mother searches for her child in the hands of another woman, calming a child in her arms until she finds her own.”

BRICS schmicks.
How does the death of Palestinians, or indeed 2 million Palestinians impact the objectives of the Chinese state and ruling class?
These objectives are capital accumulation and mercantilist at the expense of all else. Therefore, in answer to my own question, the destruction of Palestinian life and society by Israel and the west has no material impact on the primary interests or objectives of the Chinese state and ruling class.
In fact, making too much of a fuss of Israeli and western criminality in Palestine would, if not invite retaliation by the West, certainly add another complication to the Beijing elites relationship to the West, thereby putting across Beijing’s long term economic and geopolitical strategy.
Modi is known for personally orchestrating pogroms against the Muslim population of Gujarat, and has no substantial difference with Benzion Mileikowsky on the subject of genocide against the Palestinians.
As I said on this subject previously, the capitalist class are ‘a band of warring brothers’.
Whatever temporary differences may arise among them, whatever poses they may strike today or tomorrow, the constant that unites them is their hatred of working people everywhere.

Sometimes I wonder how many people in the comments are remotely aware of who owns the German govt. According to what I’ve been told multiple times here, the Saker, etc., it’s not Germans – it’s the USA that forces its puppet state Germany to support whatever the USA supports.

BRICS may seem inconsequential in October 2024 but according to Al Jazeera, on Wednesday, the organisation welcomed several new members including Iran and Egypt at the meeting in Kazan. VV Putin announced that BRICS is considering applications for membership from 30 countries.
So the not-so-Christian West is headed towards irrelevant minority status.
Talking about the jewed-up West, it’s worth remembering that the English were thoroughly jewed-up ~100 years ago when they agreed with Lord Balfour that the Jews should be “given” English-occupied Palestine.

In short Gaza looks like Grozny (in Chechnya) in 2000 after Russia paid a visit. It was called the most destroyed city in the world. Don’t believe your own delusions. Don’t beleve that just because Russia is now across the divide from the US it would not do the same in Gaza today as Israel is doing. Today Grozny is a modern city just like Gaza will be one day once the terrorists have been martyred.

‘Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’

I think you are confused about who the terrorists are and who the freedom fighters are in both cases. If the Israeli zio-terrorist have their way in Gaza and the West Bank, rich Israeli scumbags will be living in the new modern seaside resort homes in the new city of Gaza; not Palestinians.
In Grozny (in Chechnya) the people who live in the new modern city of Grozny are Islamic (minus the baby-killing terrorist supported by the U.S.).

Learn from a geopolitical analyst that Hezbollah has just released a video thanking and praising the people around the world who supports the resistance in Palestine and the Middle East…
It seems that they say that it is encouraging and inspiring for them to know that support is growing for their just cause…
I could find the video in TG…. in arabic…

Professor Michael Hudson
BRICS notes
View in app
Here are my notes and comments on the BRICS meetings.
Nima BRICS Kazan meeting Oct 24 2024
1. The first aim is to consolidate a critical mass enabling enough countries to join together to be independent of the West – for finance, trade and credit.
This critical mass is what the Bandung Conference of non-aligned nations did not have 80 years ago. The member countries did not have the option of “going it alone.” They now have it, thanks largely to China and is heavy monetary holdings, and the movement by countries to replace the dollar with gold and with each other’s currencies.
The most noteworthy discussions concerned the means of payment for trade and investment relations among the BRICS member countries and other countries who wish to join or be affiliated with them.
They already have protected themselves by creating an alternative bank-clearing mechanism to SWIFT.
They are now seeking to de-dollarize by denominating their trade in their own national currencies.
The problem that the Kazan meeting apparently has not resolved is what to do when some countries accumulate “too much” currency of payments-deficit countries.
In the case of Russian-India trade, what is Russia to do with all the rupees that it is accumulating for its oil sales to India to be resold to the West?
A related effort must be made to expel US-backed NGOs as a Fifth Column pressing for regime change in BRICS countries. Georgia has made a start in expelling NGOs.
2. Mutual military support
We see this with Russia and China, at least partially supporting Iran.
But China seems to try and straddle the BRICS and its relations with the United States. It is as if China downplays the constant U.S. claims that China is America’s number-one existential enemy. Obviously the US/NATO attack on Russia is planned to be extended to the Pacific and fighting in the China Sea, absorbing Japan and the Philippines in effect into NATO.
But the Arab and other Islamic countries are not protecting Palestinians as Israel creates genocide against them. This leaves them prone to Israel and the United States proceeding with the U.S. neocon plan to take over Syria and Iraq (along with the Arab oil producers, culminating in Saudi Arabia) on their way to attacking Iran.
So the great question is how to expand the Shanghai Cooperation Organization into the BRICS’ counterpart to NATO
3. Protection against US/NATO financial sanction
President Putin has warned other countries that what NATO did to it may be done to them. Europe’s seizure of Russian funds is serving as a catalyst to introduce a BRICS payment and bank-clearing system.
4. The rule of law: How to cope with the West’s illegal sanctions against BRICS members?
May the BRICS themselves start imposing sanctions on the West, for raw materials?
5. What’s being left out – at least for the time being
Nothing about a different tax policy – i.e., to tax land and natural-resource rents. And to prohibit interest from being counted as a tax-deductible cost of production.
Nothing about money creation as a public utility, not privatized.
Nothing about de-privatization of natural monopolies, whose ownership is a criterion of a state.
Cutting of offshore banking centers and financial corruption.
4. Questions:
What of dual membership for Turkey and Saudi Arabia?
What of India? These countries are seeking to get the best of both worlds – but in seeking to continue relations with the US-centered West, will they dilute BRICS moves to become independent?
Putin’s points in his introduction to the BRICS meeting: A shadow set of international institutions on very different principles than those of the U.S.-centered West
There is still a significant crisis potential, and it is not only the growing geopolitical tensions, but also the fact that the chronic growth of the debt burden in developed countries continues,
Let me also remind you of our initiatives to establish the BRICS arbitration investment center and develop a convention on the settlement of investment disputes, which will increase the security of mutual investments.
I.e., vs Obama’s TPP, and Investor Dispute Court. BRICS will enable countries to fine oil and mining investors for repair of the environmental damage they do.
At the end of the meetings, Putin summarized the direction in which the BRICS are moving
To resist in every possible way attempts to use the climate agenda to eliminate competitors from the market, especially in emerging markets.
By “competitors” Putin means Russia and China, and blocks against importing Russian oil and gas.
But we don’t do it, other people do it. But we don’t give up, we don’t fight the dollar. But if we are not allowed to work with it – what to do, then we are forced to look for other alternatives, which is what happens.
As we strive for cooperation, I think we should understand that the longer we live and work according to other people’s rules and on other people’s platforms, the longer this transition to a new and fairer economic and financial system will last, and this may be accompanied by major upheavals, including those that will lead to a new economic and financial system, which we observe, in particular, in the Middle East. My colleagues and I will talk about this later.
Roussiev: The cheaper we get money, the more we allow our finances to be used for priority contracts.
The problems and indicated path toward solutions raised at the BRICS meetings are civilizational on the sense that protecting themselves requires an entirely different philosophy of how money creation, debt relations, tax systems and military defense systems should be created on fundamentally different lines from those of the US-sponsored international organization, from the IMF and World Bank to the UN itself.
There apparently will be investment preferences and perhaps tariff preferences for intra-BRICS trade.
The point of international investment courts is important, because it frees the way for countries to charge damage-reparation costs on oil and mining companies, or on other international investors. The present International Investment Dispute court makes countries reimburse corporations for any change in tax laws, regulatory laws of fines for the damage they cause.
Putin mentioned the WTO. It looks like an entirely different BRICS-centered alternative to the current WTO will be put in place. The current WTO has been paralyzed for two years by the US refusing to appoint a representative that is needed to make a judicial quorum.
The greatest problem raised by Putin was the dollar-debt that Global South and other countries owe to US and European bondholders.
At some point there will be a write-down and wrote-offs of this debt. That is a precondition for debtor countries to put their own economic interests above those of foreign creditors.
The discussion shows recognition of the degree to which the US/NATO have weaponized the financial system and trade system.
Other issues include the refusal by China and other BRICS countries to accept the West’s plastic waste.
Gold will play a rising role.

“…like Gaza will be one day once the terrorists have been martyred”
The statement implies that “everyone else” is a “terrorist”, given that civilians are openly being massacred. Clearly children that have not learned to even walk yet could not be classed as “terrorists” except to a deranged mind, and so the implication is simply that all “others” are “terrorists”.
Why JW are you talking to us if you think we should all be martyred ?
It makes no sense.
However, I don’t think Gaza will ever be rebuilt according to your plan. Firstly because to erase all but ‘the chosen’ will take a very long time and is fraught with dificulty, as the world is ‘quite a big place’ , but more importantly you will probably find out you are actually not part of ‘the chosen’ along the way. I mean, you know you are certain and without question, but you have no proof – only belief or belief of proof.
It just seems sad going around killing people because you believe you are something.
It makes no sense either.
I suppose that is what makes everyone else wrong though, that they don’t or cannot have your belief.
However, I don’t think other people feel the less for that.

People that are actually FOR Genocide:
Want to sign the list, Jonathan W ?
It puzzles me what type of person is actually FOR Genocide.
Sitting at their keyboard do they resemble Heinrich Himmler (when it had, ostensibly, a heartbeat, of course)?

Or perhaps Herman Goerig

Likely such entities are like most people — yes, most people — Adolf Eichmann

Most people have the moral depth of Adolf Eichmann, sad but so true.

An essential component to achieve that objective, besides outright military power and financial/economic control levers, is total media and narrative saturation.
With message control, it’s essential to be perceived as holding moral authority, for the sheep to believe they are fighting for a ‘just cause’.

But if the narrative keeps contradicting itself, then it’s revealed to just be lies and hypocrisy.
This undermines any claim to a ‘just cause’.
Markw:

Are you young, naive or both?
[…]
Crying over all the unfairness in the world is for wimps and sissies.

As more and more of the ‘sheep’ realise the lying and hypocrisy, and the narrative control gets less effective, we get deflection and name-calling.
As a quote often attributed to Gandhi puts it:

First they ignore you.
Then they laugh at you.
Then they attack you.
Then you win.

Your reaction indicates we’re between the “Then they laugh at you” and the the “Then they attack you” stages of the process.

his makes sense as the Kabbalah graphically describes her eating all non Jewish children she comes across including tissue and marrow, mother and daughter:

‘And she answered and said to him: “‘My lord Elijah, I am on my way to the house of a woman in childbirth, Mercada…, the daughter of Donna, to give her the sleep of death and to to take her child which is being born to her, to suck its blood, and to suck the marrow of its bones, and to seal its flesh.”`’

Lilith? You might as well blame Eris, Goddess of Chaos and Discord. The key Israeli leaders who are orchestrating the genocide are far more concerned about Jewish lebensraum than fulfilling a doomsday prophecy. Religious freakery is useful to the Israeli military and political elites only to the extent that it helps mobilize the genocide. It’s a settler-colonial land grab with merely the trappings of a religious war.

Nope. They ain’t that stupid. They know the absolute truth and history of gold and why…
a) It Wasn’t mentioned once in the BRICS report.
b) It Wasn’t mentioned once at the meeting.
If You read the BRICS report they explain what they are going to do to get countries out of the $ debt trap.
What are Europeans going to do to get out of the EURO debt trap ? Which is all designed on the gold standard and fixed exchange rates model ?
Gold bugs are absolutely SEETHING !
It didn’t go far enough, it didn’t fix anything, new world order means communism, oppertunity missed, blah, blah, blah.
It’s hilarious !

Lilith recap
‘she swore to them in the name of God: whenever I shall see your names or your images on an amulet. I shall do no harm to the child.”‘
https://www.kveller.com/these-5-jewish-amulets-are-perfect-for-expectant-moms/
But any other child she will satanically eat according to Kaballah:
‘I am on my way to the house of a woman in childbirth, Mercada…, the daughter of Donna, to give her the sleep of death and to to take her child which is being born to her, to suck its blood, and to suck the marrow of its bones, and to seal its flesh.”`’

China and India are not proximate to Gaza and Palestine but Saudi Arabia and Iran are there, as is the UAE and Turkey.
Those places in proximity to Gaza certainly have an economic interest as well as moral and ethical/religious reasons to make a more forceful response.
As for China, even absent a material interest, they have the duty to show some solidarity with other BRICS countries.
