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

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

This issue of the international edition of Wenhua Zongheng (文化纵横) explores the widely debated topic of de-dollarisation. The articles examine the US dollar’s hegemonic status in the international economic order, efforts across the Global South to develop alternatives, and the role of the BRICS in this process.

“We are herbivores in a world of carnivores. It is a power politics world, yet we still have in mind that through trade and preaching the rule of law we can have influence on the world. We must still preach the rule of law but we have to be aware there are some leaders that need to be dealt with in a different way.”

Borrell predicted the war in Ukraine, and the eventual outcome, would be one of the three driving forces creating a new world order, alongside competition between China and the US, and the rise of the global south.
He admitted he was no fan of the term “global south” to describe such a heterogeneous group of people but that an entity existed that “consider themselves part of an alternative to the western models”. He said it was critical to “try to avoid the alliance of China plus Russia, plus parts of the global south.
“The people of the global south want to be recognised because 40, 50 years ago, when the world order was built, some of these countries did not exist. Either they were colonies or so poor they did not have a vote.
“So now they are independent countries and they have been growing economically, demographically, and they want to have a say.”
He added: “Understandably these countries are hedging. One day they look at Russia , another at China. At the UN they vote against the war in Ukraine but many of them do not have this feeling of moral indignation that we have.”

looks like ukrainian politicians are being taught the art of western diplomacy by their nato handlers
(hexbear.net)
In a new low of diplomacy, the Ukrainian advisor to the President of the war-hit country made bizarre claims about India and China in an interview that came days after the successful organization of the G20 summit in Delhi. Mykhailo Podolyak said, “What’s wrong with India, China, and so forth? The problem is that they are not analyzing the consequences of their steps, these countries have weak intellectual potential, unfortunately.”
Mykhailo Podolyak further said, “Yes, they invest in science. Yes, India has launched a lunar rover presently and is now trekking on the surface of the Moon, but that does not indicate that this country fully comprehends what the modern world is about.”
