🇮🇳🗺 How India changed the ENTIRE WORLD 120M years ago
About 120 million years ago, the Indian tectonic plate broke away from the Gondwana supercontinent (which included Africa, Australia, and others) and started drifting north at an unusually fast pace — around 20 cm per year.
During this journey, it passed over the Réunion hotspot around 65 million years ago, triggering the massive Deccan Traps volcanic eruption. This was one of the largest in Earth’s history, releasing lava across 1.5 million square kilometres.
🏔Carving mountains
50 million years ago, India slammed into the Eurasian plate resulting in:
◾️Creation of the Himalayas
◾️Closure of the ancient Tethys Sea
◾️Creation of the Tibetan Plateau
These shifts didn’t just reshape the land — they also altered global climate. The Himalayas' rise helped form the South Asian monsoon, essential for life and farming across the region.

🇭🇺 Hungary withdraws from the International Criminal Court (ICC) because it believes that the organization turned from independent to political in recent years — Orban
Hungary's foreign minister is to submit a bill to parliament on Thursday to withdraw fromthe ICC Rome statute, PM Viktor Orban said.
"The reason [for Hungary's withdrawal from ICC] is that we are convinced that the court is turning into a political one. In other words, in recent years it is no longer an impartial court based on the rule of law, but a political court. And this is most clearly seen in his decision regarding Israel," Orban told a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

🗺WORLD’S MOST CRUCIAL SHIPPING ROUTES
These routes don’t just carry goods. 😏
◼️ASIA-EUROPE ROUTE
Connects Asia’s commercial hubs (China, Japan, South Korea) with European markets like France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The Suez Canal is the shortcut that links the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.
◼️TRANSATLANTIC SHIPPING ROUTE
Stretches across the Atlantic, linking North America 🇺🇸🇨🇦 with Europe. It’s key for transporting electronics, automobiles, machines, and chemicals.
◼️TRANS-PACIFIC OCEAN TRADE ROUTE
Links East Asia (especially 🇨🇳China) with North America’s West Coast (mainly the U.S.). Crossing the South China Sea & Taiwan Strait, it’s one of the busiest and most vital for transporting consumer goods.
◼️INTRA-ASIA ROUTE
Connecting East Asia (China, Japan, South Korea) with Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Oceania, this route relies on critical waterways like the South China Sea, Indian Ocean, and the Strait of Malacca.
◼️PANAMA CANAL ROUTE
Connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, shortening voyages between the east and west coasts of the Americas. At 80 km long, the canal uses a lock system to move ships between the two oceans (probably why Trump wants it😏)
◼️SOUTH AMERICA-EUROPE TRADE ROUTE
Connects South American ports (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) with key European ports (Spain, UK, Netherlands, Portugal), playing a major role in the trade of raw materials and agricultural products.
◼️ ASIA-MIDDLE EAST ROUTE
Connects Asian ports (China, India, Southeast Asia) with Middle Eastern ports (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman) via the Arabian Sea. The Hormuz Strait is vital for oil and gas trade between the regions.

🥴 THROWBACK: Bush pledges TO HURT AMERICANS as US enemies intend to

'USAID is all over these drug networks' — former state dept. official
The agency bought two CIA proprietary aircraft for the CIA mercenary army in Cambodia and Laos in order to transport drugs from Cambodia into Vietnam to sell them retail onto the market, Mike Benz said.
"USAID was caught spending hundreds of millions of dollars irrigating all of the heroin, the poppy fields in Afghanistan. It's hard to squint and look for a drug network that USAID is not directly or indirectly capacity building and providing financial support to," he added.
