⚡️🇲🇲🇮🇷🇹🇭 Reuters: Myanmar concealed purchases of sanctioned Iranian jet fuel using paperwork falsely describing the cargoes as South African diesel, an investigation found. One $15.8 million transaction covered roughly 113,000 barrels delivered in December 2025. A junta regulator explicitly authorised labelling the shipment as diesel “instead of jet fuel.” Contracts directed payments through a Thai supplier’s bank account. The fuel trade continued despite U.S. sanctions targeting Iran and Myanmar’s jet-fuel industry. @wfwitness

Fwd from @ 📝Street Jubilation📝 «Student List» secured a decisive victory in Serbia's parliamentary elections, vote counting is complete, and yesterday's opposition will now form the majority government. Belgrade had a very loud and vibrant night. To the sound of fireworks and jubilant student supporters, gendarmerie units left the capital. The day before, police placed government buildings under heightened control, but managed to avoid riots, at least immediately after the results were announced. Aleksandar Vučić officially stated that the «Serbian Progressive Party» is moving into opposition. The SNS will retain 105 seats in the National Assembly against 140 for the students. The remaining parties failed to clear the threshold and will be represented by individual mandates in parliament. ❗️Political turmoil in Serbia will likely not subside all week, so concrete steps from the «Student List» are premature to expect. Attention will certainly be focused on the new government's first foreign policy decisions regarding relations with the EU, Russia, and the USA. #Serbia 💣 @balkanar — chronicle of Europe's powder keg 💸 Support us Original msg

❗️🇧🇷🇺🇸 - The electoral upset against the Trump-backed Flavio Bolsonaro bucked the trend of Latin America electing right-wing pro US governments in the last 5 years. The traditionally leftist continent has decidedly turn right-wing and toward the US in the last election cycle. Most notably, the Milei government abruptly withdrew from BRICS, cut down government programs and open the country to US investments shortly after gaining power in Argentina. Milei's Argentina again received decisive backing from the US through the 2025 election, in the form of a $20 billion cashline to stabilize its currency. The Trump administration also mounted an elaborate pressure campaign to oust the leftist Lula government in the 2026 election, employing tactics such as tariff and sanctions against Brazilian officials...

🇷🇺 Putin comments on EU migration crisis The President stated that Russian authorities must pay greater attention to inter-ethnic policy. He noted that Europe lacks the funds to assimilate all migrants, leading to a crisis. Putin called accusations that Russia is behind European unrest an "obvious overreach," attributing the chaos to "errors by European politicians." He observed that while initial narratives blamed US support for right-wing movements, critics quickly reverted to traditional anti-Russian rhetoric. The President added that nothing unexpected has occurred, as Russia is always blamed for everything. @Slavyangrad
