Arctic LNG breakthrough: Russia launches its first home-built ice-class tanker 🚢❄️

Russia has delivered its first domestically built Arctic LNG tanker, the ice-class ARC7 “Alexey Kosygin,” from the Zvezda shipbuilding complex to Sovcomflot, designed for the Arctic LNG-2 project on the Northern Sea Route. This next-generation vessel can independently navigate Arctic conditions, breaking ice over 2 meters thick while carrying more than 172,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas year-round. With a 60 MW power plant and advanced propulsion systems made in Russia, it marks a major technological step for the country’s Arctic shipping and energy ambitions.

As Arctic trade routes become more accessible and strategically important, this kind of ship could reshape global energy logistics and competition. At the same time, it raises fresh questions about environmental risks, climate impacts, and the geopolitics of the Northern Sea Route.

🚨 US Hits Pause on China Chip Tariffs Until 2027! ⚙️

The Trump administration calls out China's "unfair" push for semiconductor dominance but delays new tariffs on Chinese chips until June 2027, giving time for trade talks amid a fragile truce. This follows a Section 301 probe finding Beijing's state-backed policies burden US commerce, while existing duties remain in place. The move balances leverage with avoiding escalation in global tech supply chains.

🚨 Iraqi Militias Buckling Under US-Israel Pressure?

Major developments in Iraq: 90% of Iranian-backed militias have reportedly agreed to surrender their weapons amid escalating threats from the US and Israel, aiming to place arms under state control. With around 30 million light weapons currently outside government hands, this could reshape Iraq's security landscape—but experts caution about hidden stockpiles, internal divisions, and political hurdles that might derail the process.

What do you think? Could this lead to lasting stability in the region, or is it just a temporary play? Share your take below! 🌍💬

🚨 Putin Draws the Line: Peace or Full Force?

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia will achieve all its special military operation goals through military means if Ukraine's leadership rejects a peaceful resolution. Speaking at a command post, he noted that Kiev's leaders show no urgency to end the conflict peacefully, echoing his remarks from a year ago. This firm stance highlights ongoing tensions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

What do you think? Could diplomacy still prevail here, or are we headed for escalation? Share your thoughts below! 🤝💭

🚨 Argentina's Foreign Investment Hits Negative for First Time in 22 Years! 📉

Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Argentina dropped to a negative $1.52 billion from January to November 2025, the first deficit since 2003, as international companies like those in energy, retail, and agribusiness sell operations to local firms. Despite government incentives under President Milei, factors like import liberalization, a stronger peso, and slumping local demand have fueled this wave of divestments. This shift is handing more control of key assets to Argentine capital, sparking big questions about the economy's future path.

🚀 Cuba's Powering Up: First Battery Storage System Goes Live!

Cuba is making big strides in energy stability by installing its first Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Cueto, Holguín province. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez highlighted this as a key part of the national plan to recover the power grid, working alongside the Military Construction Union. These systems store excess energy during low demand and release it during peaks, boosting reliability and paving the way for more renewables.

Sergey Ryabkov (Russia's BRICS Sherpa) sat down with PIR Center researchers Yuriy Shakhov & Svyatoslav Arov for a masterclass in 21st-century diplomacy 🎯

Now that Christmas is over....time to get into shape

Putin works out, what is holding you back?

Is BRICS really launching a new currency, or did a private crypto project hijack the story and muddy the waters?
🌍 https://youtu.be/-l4KAa5glQ4

💱 This video unpacks the “Unit” token, the Western infrastructure behind it, and what BRICS is actually doing on de-dollarization so you can separate real multipolar change from viral narratives.

Major Topics Covered:
- Viral “BRICS currency” headlines and how a private Unit token got framed as an official BRICS project.
- What the Unit project is, who is behind it, and why it has no formal backing from BRICS governments or central banks.
- Why India, Russia, and China keep rejecting the idea of a single BRICS currency while pursuing de-dollarization through other tools.
- How economists’ names and AI-generated fake videos are used to legitimize and promote false BRICS currency narratives.

What BRICS is actually building instead: national-currency trade, payment systems, and long-term alternatives to the dollar system

🌐 The hidden capital of the Internet 🤯

Most of the world’s internet traffic silently flows through data centers in northern Virginia, turning places like Ashburn, Loudoun and Fairfax counties into the unofficial data center capital of the planet. These massive server farms handle everything from your cloud backups to streaming and AI workloads, generating tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars for the local economy each year. At the same time, residents say endless construction, power lines and the huge demand for water and electricity are reshaping their landscape and daily lives.
​
Would you feel comfortable knowing that so much of the world’s data is concentrated in one region, or does this level of digital dependence in one place worry you? 🤔 How do you think communities and governments should balance tech growth with environmental and quality‑of‑life concerns for local residents? 💬

“Good and Very Productive” 📞🔥 Trump–Putin Call Shakes Up Diplomacy

Donald Trump says he had a “good and very productive” phone call with Vladimir Putin just hours before meeting Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenski at Mar-a-Lago, in front of the press. Kremlin officials confirmed the call, saying the “most important dialogue continues” between Washington and Moscow.

Do you think this kind of direct leader-to-leader contact can really ease tensions, or does it risk sidelining other diplomatic channels? 🤔👇

💳 BRICS Pay is live — and this is just the beginning
▶️ https://tinyurl.com/2yly6gwm

In this first part, we break down the digital payment systems already operating inside BRICS countries—from Pix in Brazil and UPI in India, to CIPS in China, Russia’s Faster Payments System, and Indonesia’s QRIS—and explain how BRICS Pay aims to connect them into a single, interoperable network.

This isn’t just about faster payments. It’s about rethinking global finance, reducing dependence on SWIFT, and building a multipolar payment system that reflects how the world economy is changing.

🤔 Big questions to think about:
- Can BRICS Pay really become a viable SWIFT alternative?
- Which system is the most advanced—and which has the biggest growth potential?
- How might this affect global trade, sanctions, and the future of money?

📅 Next Sunday: Part 2 drops, where we close the circle by exploring the digital payment systems of BRICS Partner countries and how they fit into this emerging global financial architecture.

😮 India’s Deportation Shock: It’s Not The US ✈️

More than 24,600 Indians were deported from 81 countries in just one year, and Saudi Arabia, not the US, tops the list with around 11,000 cases. The United States ranks second with about 3,800 deportations, its highest figure in five years. Many removals from Gulf countries are linked to issues like visa overstays, working without valid permits, labour law violations, or workers absconding from employers.

For many Indian workers and students abroad, this raises tough questions about legal awareness, employer responsibility, and the risks people take to chase better opportunities. At the same time, countries are tightening immigration checks and enforcement, especially on paperwork and legal status.

Bankruptcies Surge In “Strong” Economy 📉💼

Corporate bankruptcies in the US have jumped to their highest level in 15 years, with at least 717 companies filing for Chapter 7 or 11 in 2025 as many struggle with inflation, high interest rates, and President Trump’s trade tariffs that raise costs and disrupt supply chains. Economists say industrial and consumer-focused firms are being hit hardest, even as headline GDP growth looks strong and the White House insists tariffs are creating “great wealth” for the country.

Do you think trade wars and tariffs are a necessary price for national security and long‑term strength, or are they pushing too many businesses over the edge? 🤔
💬 How are you seeing this play out where you live or work?
