  1. The worse in the world lol ,ethioyspia ship lol. Brazil has enough emulation for 1 hour of war ,it’s president lula is so corrupt that the Brazilian airforce has no money to buy fuel for its plane hahaha ,what a joke ,block of corrupts muderes dictators of poor broken countries ,sure trump is worried 😅

  2. BRICS "minus" INDIA:
    India has rejected Brazil's proposal of de-dollarization in BRICS summit last year 2025.
    Same as India's EAM Jaishankar at Doha Forum Dec 2024, "…We have always said that India has never been for de-dollarisation, … US is our largest trade partner, we have no interest in weakening the dollar at all"

  3. Ha, Trump doesn't even know what countries are in BRICS. He thinks the S in the acronym is Spain. Idiot. Now he must have figured out what it really means. And he has the nerve to lecture journalists. Pathetic.

  4. Indian people are many things, but stupidity is NOT one of them. It is NOT the majority South African people that invited these PRICS, but the minority ANC government. Please India, don't fall for these lies!

  5. Stop lying about Russia, China, and Iran “scaring” the West with military drills. The United States has the strongest military in the world, and we are not intimidated.

    Russia can’t even defeat Ukraine after four years of war.
    Iran just got rocked in a 12‑day conflict and can’t even control its own people because the citizens hate the regime.
    China can’t defeat Taiwan — they already tested the U.S. in 1954 and 1958 and failed.

    In June 2025, China tried to flex in the South China Sea, and the U.S. made it clear who was in charge. China walked away looking foolish.

    Venezuela, Iran, and Pakistan have all used Chinese weapons in conflicts — and none of them stood a chance.

    The reality is simple:
    • Russia isn’t winning
    • Iran is unstable
    • China isn’t ready
    • The U.S. remains dominant

    So save the lies and the nonsense.

  6. Will Trump free Iran while the enemy fleets are off on an African cruise?
    Targeting Iranian oil refineries are a target if no UN nuclear inspectors are allowed. It would be easier to talk with Iran about peace with those war ships away play games.
