“We need to move from Putin to ‘Putinism’, precisely to hedge the risk associated with one man. That is, Putin is more than a person; he is a country, he is a vector,” Russian political philosopher Alexander Dugin told Sputnik, saying the “essence” of Putin’s policies should be translated into “some kind of ideology.”

Dozens of Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes as Gaza ceasefire talks slated to resume
While gearing up for a resumption of stalled Gaza ceasefire talks, Israel carried out a fresh spate of attacks on the enclave.
Thirty-four Israeli air strikes killed at least 71 Palestinians, including women and children, in a 24-hour period, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office, cited by Al Jazeera.
Israel has also been pressing on with a renewed military offensive in the north of Gaza, ordering the evacuation of the Indonesian Hospital in Beit Lahiya, the outlet reported.
Israeli strikes turned to rubble buildings in the center of enclave, killing Omar al-Diraoui, the second journalist to be killed in 24 hours after photographer Hassan al-Qishaoui suffered a similar fate on January 2.
Some 202 journalists have been killed in the enclave since October 7, 2023, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.

The expansion of industrial mining and creation of multi-purpose data processing centers (DPCs) is expected to contribute significantly to Russia’s economy:
From mining to global trade
Russia is not stopping at mining; it aims to leverage cryptocurrencies for international trade. In August 2024, President Vladimir Putin signed laws establishing an experimental platform for using cryptocurrencies in international settlements and regulating cryptocurrency exchange trading under the Central Bank’s oversight.
Key developments include:
Russia's Finance Minister Anton Siluanov highlighted in December that the use of digital financial assets and cryptocurrencies is important for Russia's foreign trade, as it allows uninterrupted payments for goods and services.

Outgoing President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to take advantage of provisions in the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to permanently ban his successor from achieving his energy policy goal of dramatically ramping up domestic energy production.
Sources told Bloomberg Biden is getting ready to announce an executive order prohibiting portions of America’s outer continental shelf deemed critical to coastal environmental resilience from being sold off to energy companies for exploration. The affected waters could include areas of the Pacific coast, and waters near Florida in the Gulf of Mexico.
Reversing the order may be difficult, even if appealed in court. A Trump attempt to reverse Obama-era protections of Arctic and Atlantic Ocean waters failed in 2019.
Biden’s move could ultimately hamper the Trump administration’s 3-3-3 economic plan, which includes a 3 million barrel-per-day jump in domestic oil output, 3% annual GDP growth, and a push to cut the deficit to 3% of GDP.
The outgoing president is looking to trip up Trump an array of areas, commuting sentences of a majority of death row inmates, issuing a string of pardons, including for his troubled son Hunter, forgiving school loan debts of 55,000 public service workers, and trying to ‘Trump-proof’ the conflict with Moscow over Ukraine by ramping up arms deliveries and greenlighting Ukrainian missile attacks deep inside Russia.

Yemeni’s Houthis mobilize to fight US, Israel, welcome enemies to ‘great hell’
Yemenis are “eager” to engage the US and Israeli aggressor, and “have prepared ourselves for all possible scenarios,” Zaid al-Gharsi, director of the Houthi-led National Salvation Government’s Media and Cultural Affairs Department, said in a statement Friday amid the militia’s ongoing mobilization.
Yemenis have “entered direct confrontation against its adversaries today, and we tell them this: that they are welcome to [their] great hell,” the official said, assuring his countrymen would turn their enemies “into ashes” even if forced to fight with their bare hands.
Al-Gharsi’s comments come against the backdrop of a dramatic escalation in US, British and Israeli bombing attacks on military and civilian infrastructure targets across Houthi-controlled areas as the militia ramps up the targeting of Israeli cities with missiles.

Japan's Nippon Steel to sue US government over blocked US Steel deal - report
Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC) will take legal action against the US government over US President Biden's decision to block its purchase of the US's leading steel producer, US Steel Corporation, Japanese media reported.
Earlier in the day, Biden prohibited the $14.9 billion deal, citing national security concerns.
NSC and US Steel issued a joint statement, condemning the ban. The companies argued that no credible evidence of a national security issue had been provided and that the process was "manipulated" to promote Biden’s "political agenda."
The two companies agreed in late 2023 that NSC would acquire US Steel in an all-cash transaction at $55.00 per share. This represents an equity value of approximately $14.1 billion plus the assumption of debt, for a total enterprise value of $14.9 billion.

The time has come for Greenlanders to “take a step and reshape our future” regarding who to cooperate closely with “and who our trading partners will be,” Prime Minister Mute Egede said in a pro-independence New Year’s address.
💬 “The history and current conditions have shown that our cooperation with the Kingdom of Denmark has not succeeded in creating full equality” Egede said, characterizing the relationship as weighed by the “shackles of colonialism” and hinting at the need for a referendum on the island’s future.
Greenlanders are expected to go to the polls for parliamentary elections in April, with a plebiscite on the island’s status made possible in 2008 after a 2008 referendum on self-government.
Egede’s comments come less than two weeks after a Trump social media post in which the president-elect declared the “absolute necessity” of owning and controlling Greenland “for the purposes of national security and freedom throughout the world.” Egede responded at the time that the island is not for sale “and will never be for sale.”

📑 “This was not a terrorist attack. It was a wake-up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives?" the officer read from the second note.
📑 "Why did I personally do it now? I need to cleanse my mind of the brothers I've lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took,” stated the second note reportedly written by Livelsberger, an active-duty United States Army Green Beret.
