Dear Comrades. A Palestinian family that is starving in Gaza has reached out to me on my X account and asked if I could help them because they’re starving.

First I had to verify that it is real so they send back a video with my X account handle as I asked. I’ve made a donation and ask that if you’re able to monetarily please help these poor folks as they’re in a war zone and starving.

Donation link:

In case you have any doubts, this is all verified as I asked for video proof and they sent many videos of the carnage around them. I almost had a mental breakdown.

Be blessed and BaZed Comrades. Help these people.

❗️ Left-wing coalition wins parliamentary elections, receives 182 seats in French parliament – Interior Ministry

🌏 Jean-Luc Melanchon's New Popular Front coalition of left-wing parties has won 182 seats in the French National Assembly, according to the French Interior Ministry.

🌏 President Emmanuel Macron's bloc gained 168 seats.

🌏 Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardelle’s National Rally got 143 parliamentary seats.

In total, there are 577 seats in the lower house of parliament. Thus, no political force gained enough votes to form a majority government alone. No information has emerged about possible coalitions.

French and European media say the lack of a majority in parliament may plunge France into a prolonged political crisis due to an inability to form a new cabinet, calling the situation unmanageable.

🇷🇺🇮🇳 Putin-Modi talks in Moscow: What to expect

Indian PM Narendra Modi is visiting Moscow on July 8-9 to co-chair the 22nd Russia-India Annual Summit with President Vladimir Putin.

Modi will attend a private dinner hosted by Putin on Monday afternoon. On Tuesday, Modi will meet with the Indian community in Moscow; lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Kremlin; and visit an exhibition venue. Core to the visit will be bilateral talks in “restricted” and broader, delegation-level format.

The upcoming talks should be viewed from the lens of an extremely promising bilateral context, which “allows India and Russia to strengthen their strategic autonomy amid global geopolitical changes”, Dr. Raj Kumar Sharma, a senior research fellow at NatStrat, a New Delhi-based think tank, tells Sputnik. Russia is a country that “remains very important for India's engagement in Eurasia,” alongside the overarching bilateral strategic relationship of the sides, he adds.

Putin-Modi talks to focus on:


🔸Defense and energy security amid regional and global developments

🔸Ties within groups like BRICS, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, East Asia Summit (EAS), UN.

🔸Bilateral trade, which has surged to $65 billion, predominantly due to energy cooperation;

🔸Sustainable payment mechanisms amid de-dollarization drive

🔸Investment in energy, banking, railways and steel

🔸Nuclear energy amid work on units of Kudankulam NPP built in collaboration with Russia

🔸Russia-India Reciprocal Exchange of Logistics Agreement (RELOS), designed to boost military cooperation; streamline military logistics; expand India’s maritime outreach (including to the Arctic), balance India's logistics agreements with Quad countries; and strengthen Russia’s Indo-Pacific presence

🔸Transport projects like International North-South Transport Corridor and Chennai-Vladivostok Maritime Corridor

🔸Science & tech, education, and culture. Russia and India plan mutual visa-free travel by end of 2024.

🇮🇳🇷🇺 SPOILT POWER: AMERICA & ALLIES GO INTO MELTDOWN AHEAD OF MODI-PUTIN SUMMIT

Several western commentators have gone into a meltdown over the upcoming Annual Summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin on Tuesday.

🤝 The Russia-India Annual Summit takes place on the same day when NATO allies would be meeting in Washington DC to express support for Ukraine.

🗣“The NATO summit will be in Washington this week with the fate of Ukraine on the line, but Modi will be with Putin in Russia touting the strength of bilateral relations. Disgraceful,” wrote Derek Grossman, an expert on Indo-Pacific at Rand Corporation.


💬 However, users from India were not so 'naive': comparing hateful comments to a behavior of a “spoilt power”, they pointed out the West's support for anti-India terrorists abroad.
