Escalation: Iran, Russia, China To Hold Naval Drill In Flashpoint Strait Of Hormuz
Are Russia and China finally standing up to America's addiction to regime change wars in the Middle East? They appear to at least be flashing some muscle in this incredibly tense moment, as the US deploys no less than two nuclear-powered aircraft carriers to the region.
Russia, China, and Iran have deployed naval vessels to the Strait of Hormuz for joint exercises this week, Russian presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev announced Tuesday, according to Anadolu and Iran state media. This comes as Iran's elite IRGC Navy is already in day two of military drills in the vital oil transit point, having closed some sectors of the chokepoint.

In a fresh interview with Turkish media, Patrushev said Moscow is advancing a "multipolar world order on the oceans" to counter what he blasted as Western hegemony.
"We will tap into the potential of BRICS, which should now be given a full-fledged strategic...

|
|
|
Fosun Health Group, a subsidiary of Fosun Pharmaceutical, said it plans to build its first overseas hospitals in Indonesia amid a push by Chinese healthcare companies to expand abroad.
The announcement underscores Indonesia's appeal – home to the world's fourth-largest population of 287 million – as Beijing encourages its healthcare sector to “go global”.
Fosun planned to establish “several hospitals” in Indonesia, CEO Frank Hu Hang told delegates at the South China Morning Post's China......

Birthing Pains For A Multipolar World
Authored by Adam Sharp via DailyReckoning.com,
After World War 2, the U.S. emerged as the only major power with its industrial base intact.
Europe, the USSR, and Japan were all devastated.
The Soviet Union alone had 26 million deaths due to the war. The rest of Europe had approximately another 20 million. Japan lost around 3 million.
All the major powers' infrastructure had been annihilated. Except for America.
Even before the war, the U.S. was the eminent economic power of the world. But this advantage increased significantly following WW2. After all, it was American ships, tanks, guns, and bombs that turned the tide.

In 1945, America produced 50% of global industrial output. With just 6% of world population.
By 1947 the bulk of military production lines had switched to civilian goods. Lines that were producing tanks switched to cars and appliances. Factories that were churning out bombers switched ...

SoftBank Dumps Entire Nvidia Stake To Double-Down On 'Core AI Enablers'
In another warning sign for the AI bubble, one we've been tracking closely, from the accelerating AI-linked debt binge and widening Oracle CDS spreads to repeated cautions from BofA's Michael Hartnett and others - yet another red flag emerged Tuesday morning.
Masayoshi Son's SoftBank Group cashed out its $5.83 billion stake in Nvidia in October and is now raising capital for new AI investments across data centers, robotics, and chip manufacturing. The sale underscores Son's core strategy - buy low, sell high - while positioning SoftBank as a major funder across the global AI ecosystem.
CFO Yoshimitsu Goto told reporters earlier that the sale of its Nvidia stake was part of SoftBank's cycle of "divesting and reinvesting," describing it as the company's "fate" to continually reallocate capital.
"Our investment in OpenAI is significant, so we plan to use some existing assets to help ...

BRICS Vs G7: Comparing 2026 GDP Growth Forecasts
Today, BRICS countries represent half of the global population, a coalition with growing economic heft.
Unlike many Western powers, many BRICS countries are seeing rapid GDP growth driven by significant investment, trade, and demographic change. In an increasingly multipolar world, this group is exerting more influence as it expands.
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Neufeld, compares real GDP growth projections of BRICS vs G7 countries, based on data from the IMF's World Economic Outlook October Update.
BRICS vs G7 Real GDP Growth
Below, we show GDP growth forecasts for BRICS nations in 2025 and 2026:
As we can see, India is projected to see one of the fastest growth rates across the bloc, at 6.6% in 2025 and 6.2% in 2026.
In China, 4.8% growth is forecast for 2025 as the country strengthens trade across Asia, Europe, and Africa. Like India, growth is forecast to decline in 2026.
On average, BRICS growth will exceed G7 rates by m...

A US Port In Pakistan Would Complete Its Pro-Western Pivot
Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack,
Pakistan has been pivoting towards the West since April 2022's post-modern coup against former multipolar Prime Minister Imran Khan, with this trend accelerating since Trump's return to power and his obsession with punishing India for not subordinating itself as the US' largest-ever vassal state.
Their rapid rapprochement aims to geostrategically reshape South Asia via the revival of their Old Cold War-era partnership, which would advance US interests by greatly decelerating regional multipolar processes.
To that end, Pakistan is suspected of facilitating the flow of foreign terrorists into Afghanistan as anti-Taliban proxies per what can be intuited by Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergey Shoigu in his article from late August that was analyzed here last month. In parallel, Trump's recently reaffirmed goal of returning US troops to Afghanistan's Bagram Airbase c...
