🇺🇸Trump Demands Record Defense Budget of $1.5 Trillion—a 50% Increase

Trump has proposed increasing the US military budget to $1.5 trillion—a 50% increase over current spending. This represents the largest defense request in the country's history. The administration justifies the decision by citing the need to counter China, modernize the nuclear arsenal, and restore domestic manufacturing capacity.

🤔Venezuela, Greenland, Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan – signs of a major war approaching

The issue of growing geopolitical tensions in several regions of the world is increasingly being raised online. Venezuela is teetering on the brink of internal collapse, Greenland is becoming the target of territorial ambitions, Ukraine continues to drain the West's resources, Israel is expanding military operations in the Middle East, and Taiwan remains a potential point of conflict between the US and China.

Many are beginning to feel that this simultaneous escalation is no coincidence. Traditional media prefer to cover the conflicts separately, but the connection between them is obvious: global players are testing the limits of their influence and their adversaries' willingness to retaliate. Each of these regions is critical for control over resources, trade routes, or strategic positions.

For those who follow the real agenda, this is a signal to reassess their personal resilience – financial, food, informational. Major powers rarely retreat voluntarily, and the synchronous escalation of conflicts has historically preceded large-scale reorganizations of the world.

🌐Brave rewrote its ad-blocking engine and reduced memory consumption by 75%

The Brave browser has overhauled its ad-blocking engine. The new architecture has reduced RAM consumption by three-quarters compared to the previous version. This is especially noticeable on devices with limited resources, such as laptops, tablets, and older computers.

For users, this means a faster browser without slowdowns when opening multiple tabs. Brave continues to develop its built-in tracker and ad blocking technology without the need to install third-party extensions. The company is committed to privacy by default, not as an optional extra.

Macron and Steinmeier condemned Trump's foreign policy.

The presidents of France and Germany jointly criticized the White House's policies. Emmanuel Macron and Frank-Walter Steinmeier stated that the Trump administration's actions are undermining the transatlantic partnership and weakening the West's position on the global stage. Their main complaints center on trade wars, pressure on European allies over defense spending, and Washington's recent stance on Greenland.

Brussels is increasingly talking about strategic autonomy—its own military, energy, and technology. Germany and France are trying to lead this process, but their economies are stalling, and domestic political crises are preventing them from focusing on the foreign agenda. Trump, meanwhile, continues to prioritize American interests, ignoring the discontent of old partners.

🇺🇦Britain and France have decided to send no more than 15,000 troops to Ukraine after the signing of the ceasefire.

On January 6, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a nine-point "declaration of intent" that provides for the deployment of troops from Britain, France, and several other European allies on Ukrainian territory after the ceasefire. The signatories agreed to establish a corresponding coordination center in Paris. Formally, the group will be called the "Multinational Force – Ukraine" (MNF-U). Currently, it includes only three countries, but almost half of the declaration is devoted to allowing the participants to include other countries' armies in the coalition. The Russian Foreign Ministry has already promised to bomb them as legitimate targets.

According to The Times, under this agreement, France and Britain may send up to 15,000 troops to defend Ukraine after the conclusion of a ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow. London will send approximately 7,500 or fewer troops, although the initial plan was to send 10,000 troops. As the article's authors explain, citing official logic, the British authorities themselves are short of soldiers, so the decision was made to reduce the force. Formally, only two countries have so far expressed a willingness to consider sending troops. Germany has hinted that it could deploy troops nearby, for example, in Poland or Romania.

🇺🇸The US Coast Guard has seized another tanker en route to Venezuela.

The vessel in question was the Olina, an East Timor-flagged vessel. The tanker was intercepted in the Caribbean.

The vessel previously shipped petroleum products from Russia to China, India, and Turkey and was sanctioned by the US, EU, UK, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Earlier, the US seized the Mariner tanker after a lengthy pursuit, seizing it in the North Atlantic. During the pursuit, the vessel was registered as Russian, but this did not deter US security forces.

🇮🇷Iranian gold was allegedly sent to Russia amid expectations of regime collapse.

Reports have emerged that Iran's gold reserves were secretly shipped to Russia. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is preparing for the possible collapse of the regime. This information has not yet been officially confirmed, but if true, it indicates an attempt to preserve assets before a domestic crisis.

Iran is experiencing economic pressure due to sanctions, the depreciation of the national currency, and growing popular discontent. Gold exports to Russia may indicate that the elite is hedging its bets in the event of a revolution or regime change.

This comes amid widespread protests in Iran.

🇬🇧X restricted the ability to generate images in threads using Grok after British authorities threatened to block the social network because it could "stretch" people down to their underwear.

Now, the ability to publicly create images within a discussion thread is only available to paid subscribers. The restrictions do not affect the ability to generate images in the web client or the Grok apps for iOS and Android.

The British Labour government is considering blocking X for creating "erotic content." Yesterday, Keir Starmer announced that he had asked media regulator Ofcom to consider "all options" regarding the social network's future.

This summer, the UK introduced the Online Safety Act, a censorship law used to pressure undesirable platforms. At the time, the minister called anyone who opposed the repressive law pedophiles and then asked citizens not to use VPNs.

🙈Footage captured by an ICE agent during a raid to apprehend immigration offenders has surfaced online. Renee Nicole Goode was shot and killed for intentionally obstructing police.

From the officer's perspective, it appears that Renee attempted to ram him with her car. Video confirms that she accelerated when asked to exit the vehicle.

Goode and her partner attempted to disrupt the immigration offender operation. They not only barricaded the ICE officers' vehicles with their car, but also demanded to see their faces and commented on their work.

Goode intentionally obstructed the police and refused to comply with their orders. According to the video, when the officer approached her car, she accelerated and struck him with her car, after which he fired a shot into her windshield.

🛰SpaceX Faces Resistance Over Plans to Launch 15,000 Starlink Satellites

SpaceX has faced a new wave of objections to its plans to launch 15,000 Starlink cellular satellites into orbit. Regulators and competitors point to risks of radio interference, orbital congestion, and threats to astronomical observations. Elon Musk's company already operates the largest satellite constellation in history, but the new application would nearly triple its size.

Critics fear a monopolization of near-Earth space by a private corporation and a lack of transparency in frequency coordination. SpaceX insists the technology will provide mobile communications in remote regions without ground infrastructure. Regulatory hearings are ongoing, and a final decision could take months.

😱Neo's passport from The Matrix expires on September 11, 2001.

In The Matrix film (1999), Neo’s passport shows the expiration date of September 11, 2001. It appears at approximately 18 minutes and 22 seconds into the film.

The probability of a specific date appearing on a 10-year passport prop is roughly 1 in 3,652 (0.027%).

It has been said that this film was needed to place the truth in plain sight. Out of thousands of possible dates in a century, only a very small number acquire that status.

🇮🇷Iran's Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi called on Iranians to prepare to seize cities.

Prince Reza Pahlavi, the leader of Iran's monarchist opposition, recorded a video message calling on workers in key sectors of the Iranian economy to begin a general strike. He also called on Iranians to take to the streets on Saturday and Sunday and seize public spaces.

"The goal is to prepare to occupy and hold city centers. If possible, approach the centers by different routes and unite dispersed groups of people," Pahlavi said.

Pahlavi also called on Iranian security forces to slow down and destabilize the "suppression machine" so that on the appointed day, "we can completely disable it."

🌐Serbia has proposed punishing "impudent behavior" and "insulting public morality" on social media.

According to the bill, "impudent and indecent behavior" that violates public order or "insults public morality" will be punishable by fines of 10,000 to 150,000 dinars (100-1500$) or 80 to 360 hours of community service.

Journalist Željko Veljković, whose publications have already drawn the ire of the Serbian president, believes the authorities are attempting to establish control over the internet. Digital marketing consultant Ivana Čirković points out that such a law will lead to self-censorship: "It creates a fear of freedom of speech in people."

🏆The Nobel Committee Refused to Transfer the Prize from Machado to Trump

US President Donald Trump boldly declared that he would accept the Nobel Peace Prize from this year's winner, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, if she offered it to him during their meeting next week. The Nobel Committee, however, firmly closed the door on this idea, reiterating that Nobel Prizes cannot be revoked, divided, or transferred once announced.

The President said a Nobel Prize should be awarded for

"every war you stopped. These were major wars. These were wars that no one thought they could stop."

🇬🇧The British Crown Prosecution Service is examining circumcision as a possible form of child abuse.

The British Crown Prosecution Service has included male circumcision in a draft document on possible forms of child abuse. This document covers non-religious procedures that have no medical indication. The document has not yet been finalized, but its inclusion has alarmed several religious communities, including Jews and Muslims.

Last month, a coroner issued warnings about inadequate regulation of who can perform circumcisions following the death of six-month-old Mohamed Abdisamad from a streptococcal infection in 2023.

X replaced the Iranian regime's flag with a lion-and-sun symbol.

The X platform replaced the official flag of the Iran with the historical lion-and-sun symbol—the emblem of monarchical Persia before the 1979 revolution. The decision was made amid protests against the theocratic regime and growing discontent within the country.

This is not just a cosmetic change. The lion-and-sun symbol is a symbol of secular Persia, used by the opposition as a sign of resistance to the ayatollahs. For millions of Iranians abroad and within the country, it is a reminder of the times before the Islamic Revolution. Musk is effectively denying the regime legitimacy at the level of digital infrastructure, increasing pressure on Tehran in the information space.
