Turkey Bids to Join BRICS in Push to Build Alliances Beyond West (Yahoo Finance / Bloomberg)
Turkey has formally asked to join the BRICS group of emerging-market nations as it seeks to bolster its global influence and forge new ties beyond its traditional Western allies, according to people familiar with the matter.
. . . Straddling Europe and Asia, Turkey submitted an application to join BRICS some months ago amid frustration over a lack of progress in its decades-old bid to join the European Union, the people added. The bid is also partly a result of rifts with fellow NATO members after Turkey maintained close links with Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the people added. Turkey’s foreign ministry and presidency declined to comment.
just saw this is a news update from norwegian NRK (machine translated):
For the first time in two years, in the second quarter of this year, the EU countries imported more gas from Russia than from the USA, shows a study from the think tank Bruegel.
Compared to the previous quarter, imports from Russia still fell somewhat, but imports from the USA fell more, the study shows.
The EU still buys most gas from Norway. Russia was at the top until the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, when many EU countries cut off or bought much less Russian gas, writes NTB.
The study does not show which countries in the EU have stepped up imports. Official German statistics show that the EU's largest member state no longer buys gas from Russia.
sorry for not linking the study i'm on mobile and i'm lazy </3

newsmega heads, wake up! i need minute-by-minute updates
i'm hexbear's internet-based investigative reporter reporting on vibes and energy from the liberal sphere
vibes-based reporting: i've been browsing r/fauxmoi today, a celebrity gossip sub that's been very pro-palestine but extremely 🌴🥥 pilled since biden crossed the west wing bridge (rip). now though, after the grim spectacle the DNC put on, the mood is souring. all the most upvoted electoralism posts are back to be critical of kamala and the democrats, with people starting to realize that maybe she's not be the fun aunt they can project all their political hopes and dreams onto.
Based Tariq we love to see it. Respect to anyone still talking about Palestine and not jumping on the embarrassing circus that this week has been while children are having their heads blown off (600+ upvotes)
it really seems the democrats have done a great job of killing off the good-vibe momentum they had going for them. literally snatching defeat from the jaws of victory <3
brat summer has come to an end; we're entering fight song fall.
the specter of joever lives on.
