🇩🇰🆗🇷🇺🛠⛽️ — 🏴 ZeroHedge | Denmark Changes Tune, Allows Russia's Gazprom To Do Work On Damaged NS2 Pipeline | January 29, 2025:

"In a very unexpected development Denmark is now working directly with Russia's Gazprom to do environmental mitigation on the damaged Nord Stream pipelines, in the wake of the multiple underwater blasts that took them offline on September 26, 2022 - leading to years of accusations against Moscow and a Russia-West tit-for-tat.

Denmark's energy agency has granted Nord Stream 2 AG (which is under Gazprom) permission to engage in preservation work on Nord Stream 2 in the Baltic Sea. The agency described that there remain serious safety risks after the natural gas pipeline was filled with seawater and the remnants of natural gas.

"The work aims to preserve the damaged pipeline by installing customized plugs at each of the open pipe ends to prevent further gas blow-out and the introduction of oxygenated seawater," Denmark's energy agency said."

🇯🇴🇪🇬🚫🇵🇸👨‍👧‍👧 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | Jordan, Egypt Reject US Plan To Resettle Gazans As Trump Doubles Down | January 29, 2025:

"After last Saturday President Trump floated a plan to 'clean out' Gaza by conducting a mass resettlement of Palestinians in neighboring countries, namely Egypt and Jordan, he's now doubling down on the idea.

Egypt and Jordan are not happy, but are also feeling the pressure as a result, and it must be remembered that both are recipients of huge amounts of foreign aid each year - with Egypt receiving billions.

Israeli media underscores there's been wall-to-wall firm opposition by Arab leaders: "US President Donald Trump dug in his heels Monday over a controversial suggestion that large numbers of Gazans take refuge in Egypt and Jordan, shrugging off wall-to-wall opposition to the proposal from Arab leaders."

🇨🇳🔧☢️ — 🌟 Reuters | Exclusive: Images show China building huge fusion research facility, analysts say | January 28, 2025:

"SINGAPORE, Jan 28 (Reuters) - China appears to be building a large laser-ignited fusion research centre in the southwestern city of Mianyang, experts at two analytical organisations say, a development that could aid nuclear weapons design and work exploring power generation.

Satellite photos show four outlying "arms" that will house laser bays, and a central experiment bay that will hold a target chamber containing hydrogen isotopes the powerful lasers will fuse together, producing energy, said Decker Eveleth, a researcher at U.S.-based independent research organisation CNA Corp.

It is a similar layout to the $3.5 billion U.S. National Ignition Facility (NIF) in Northern California, which in 2022 generated more energy from a fusion reaction than the lasers pumped into the target - "scientific breakeven".

Eveleth, who is working with analysts at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS), estimates the experiment bay at the Chinese facility is about 50% bigger than the one at NIF, currently the world's largest.

The development has not been previously reported."

🇮🇹🔎🐳 — 🌟 Reuters | Italy regulator seeks information from DeepSeek on data protection | January 28, 2025:

"ROME, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Italy's data protection authority said on Tuesday it was seeking answers from Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) model DeepSeek on its use of personal data.

DeepSeek and its affiliated companies have 20 days to answer, the Garante said in a statement, in one of the first regulatory moves targeting the Chinese startup."

🇺🇸❌❓🗣 — 📰 Strategic Culture Foundation | Is Trump positioning for a “no-deal” with Russia – or not? | The idea of inflicting “strategic defeats” on Russia has been a cornerstone of U.S. policy for so long a time that it transcends party lines | January 28, 2025:

"Trump’s rhetoric about Russia having lost 1 million men in the Ukraine conflict is not just nonsense (the real number not even reaching 100,000), but his resort to it underlines that the usual meme of Trump being just woefully misinformed is looking less and less plausible.

After touting the 1 million Russian deaths, Trump then suggests that Putin is destroying Russia by not making a deal. Adding (seemingly as an aside), that Putin may have already made up his mind ‘not to make a deal’.

Instead, in a curiously disinterested way, Trump remarks that negotiations would depend entirely on whether Putin is interested or not. He further claims that Russia’s economy is in ruins, and most notably says that he would consider sanctioning or tariffing Russia, if Putin does not make a deal. In a subsequent Truth Social post, Trump writes, “I’m going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR”

🇺🇸❌🇨🇦🇲🇽 | President Trump to sign executive order implementing 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico imminently

🇺🇸❌🌍✴️ | United States President Donald Trump vows: BRICS countries will face 100% tariffs if they launch a new currency

The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar, while we stand by and watch, is OVER.

We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy. They can go find another sucker Nation.

There is no chance that BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, or anywhere else, and any Country that tries should say hello to Tariffs, and goodbye to America!

🇳🇮🗳❗️| The Sandinista Regime-controlled National Assembly of Nicaragua approved a new constitutional reform in the country!

➡️ Such a reform, pressured by the Sandinista Dictatorship leadership gives Daniel Ortega and specially his wife, Rosario Murillo, absolute control over the State institutions and civil society

“The law to reform the Constitution of Nicaragua was approved in its entirety in the second legislature,” the National Assembly announced on its X account.

➡️ This was the last step before the change to the Magna Carta came into effect giving the elderly Far-Leftist couple absolute powers

The presidential term will increase from five to six years, and Murillo’s position, which was already very powerful, will increase from vice president to “co-president”, according to the reform approved in November, in the first session of Congress dominated by the Far-Left, anti-Christian Sandinista Front for National Liberation (FSLN)

In the end... Did the Sandinista Dictatorship went woke?

Rush to stockpile gold in New York leads to London shortage

Total gold flows into the US could be far higher than the Comex numbers reflect, according to market participants, because there are likely to have been additional shipments to private vaults in New York owned by HSBC and JPMorgan. (FT)

🇺🇸🇵🇦🇨🇳 Secretary of State Marco Rubio is carefully, yet not openly, messaging here, that the US knows when and how the Chinese plan to blow up the Panama canal locks.

Until 1994 two US Army infantry battalions were based at both ends of the canal right besides the locks (Fort Davis and Fort Clayton), and as Panama abolished its military in 1990, there is now just a few policemen guarding the canals' locks.

Once China attacks Taiwan, Chinese troops, currently pretending to dock workers at the Chinese operated ports in Panama, will destroy the canals' locks to prevent the US Atlantic Fleet to cross into the Pacific, while the Suez canal will be blocked by a Chinese container ship getting stuck.

Rubio's first foreign trip was to Panama to explain president Jose Raul Mulino the reason the US will no longer ignore the Chinese presence in Panama.
