🇺🇸❌🇷🇺🧭 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | Visualizing NATO's And Russia's Militarization Of The Arctic | January 25, 2025:

"Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Arctic has been considered a politically neutral zone, marked by the peaceful international cooperation of scientists.

But, as Statista's Anna Fleck reports, as the Arctic ice melts and more land and sea becomes accessible, opportunities for resource extraction and maritime trade routes are opening up, making it increasingly attractive to vying global powers, with some observers questioning confidence in its stability."

🇺🇸🇵🇦 Senator Ted Cruz just established an official investigation into Panama's violation of the Canal Treaty, which would give President Trump the green light to retake it by any means necessary.

"President Trump is making a serious and substantive argument that that treaty is being violated. Right now, this committee has jurisdiction under the Senate rules over the Panama Canal, and today, we will examine evidence of potential violations."

"Panama has emerged as a bad actor. Panama has for years flagged dozens of vessels in the Iranian ghost fleet, which brought Iran tens of billions of dollars in oil profits to fund terror across the world. And Chinese companies have won contracts, often without fair competition."
