BlackRock shuns Schwab and jumps on Trump’s bandwagon

BlackRock has recently shifted its stance, leaving the Davos elite behind and eyeing a potential financial windfall from Trump’s America First policies.

💬 “[BlackRock CEO Larry] Fink’s late-coming onto the Trump train was deference to a political change he couldn’t control: Trump would win without him and his business depends on a friendly government, especially in [the] US,” says Professor Felipe J. Cuello.


BlackRock and Trump appear to have a shared interest in cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin.

After Trump voiced concerns over China’s apparent control over the Panama Canal, BlackRock quickly struck a deal with the Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings to buy the Balboa and Cristobal ports in the canal, as well as 43 other strategic harbors, and briefed the White House on the development.

Western industrial giants are increasingly flocking to the US.

💬 “Economically this can be read as a signal, not just of private sector confidence but of future growth, which is more than can be said for the humble conference in the mountains of Switzerland,” the analyst points out.


As the icing on the cake, Trump used the Davos platform following his inauguration in January 2025 to lambast the forum’s long-standing globalist “scam” and show Europe it would no longer be “business as usual.”

Trump’s Kursk mercy plea is attempt ‘to rescue’ spectacular failure left over by Biden - Ex-CIA officer

💬 “The invasion of Kursk was a Western-backed and directed operation. It was designed to try to, I think, create some bargaining leverage for the West to compel Russia to surrender. And it failed,” Larry Johnson told Sputnik.


💬 “Not only has it failed, it's failed spectacularly in a way that it's wiped out significant military units in Ukraine as well as the equipment,” Johnson, a retired CIA intel officer and ex-State Department official, explained.


Trump’s appeal to Putin is an attempt “to rescue a bad situation,” an absolute “disaster,” which Johnson doesn’t expect to succeed.

💬 “It's going to take a military defeat wiping out the Ukrainian force in order for the West to wake up and realize Russia is not lying,” Johnson said, highlighting how, to this day, many Americans continue to “believe that Russia is losing” and that “all we need to do is keep applying pressure.”


Putin announced Friday that after studying Trump’s appeal, Russia is prepared to guarantee Ukrainian troops trapped in Kursk region their lives and dignified treatment if they lay down their arms and surrender.

GLSDB: the US glide bomb Russia’s electronic warfare systems left blind

The US reportedly plans to resume the delivery of Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs to Ukraine.

🔸 Developed in 2023 by Boeing, the GLSDB is a Frankenstein’s monster combining the GBU-39 110 kg air-dropped glide bomb with a rocket motor enabling it to be fired from ground-based rocket artillery like HIMARS and MLRS.

🔸 The system can have a range up to 150 km, and is priced at about $100K apiece, more than double the $40K each price of the basic GBU-39.

🔸 The GLSDB saw its first-ever “field test” combat deployment in Ukraine in early 2024.

🔸 The testing proved a failure, with sources telling US and European media that GLSDBs were being jammed en masse by Russia’s powerful electronic warfare equipment, which targeted the weapons’ GPS-based inertial navigation.

🔸 Sources told Reuters the new deliveries would be “upgraded” to counter Russian jamming.

🔸 Previously, the US and its allies used the older, air-launched GBU-39s to wreak havoc on Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Gaza and Yemen.

⚔️ Putin for peace, Zelensky against and Trump stuck in the middle

The Russian president has expressed interest in Trump’s 30-day ceasefire idea, while citing important “nuances” that must be accounted for first. Zelensky, on the other hand, has opposed peace at every turn. Here’s proof.

1️⃣Fate of Kursk cauldron

💬 Putin: “What will we do about the incursion zone in Kursk region? If we stopped military operations for 30 days, what would this mean? That all [enemy forces] would JUST WALK OUT WITHOUT A FIGHT?”

💬 Zelensky: “Our troops in Kursk region continue to carry out their tasks.”

2️⃣Respite for Ukraine’s continued mobilization?

💬 Putin: “How will these 30 days be used? To ensure the continued FORCED MOBILIZATION in Ukraine?”

💬 Zelensky aide Podolyak and Rada Defense Committee chairman Kostenko: Ceasefire WON’T stop mobilization, WON’T end martial law, WON’T trigger elections.

3️⃣Handling violations (live fire, incursions, missile strikes)

💬 Putin: “Who will be able to determine where and who has violated a possible agreement on a ceasefire across a 2,000 km front?”

💬 Zelensky: Whined to Trump just last month claiming Russia violated ceasefires 25 times since 2014.

4️⃣Verification of measures related to mobilization, supply of weapons

💬 Putin: “How will issues of control and verification be handled – HOW WILL THEY GUARANTEE that nothing like this will happen?”

💬 Zelensky: Even if a ceasefire turns into something more, Ukraine will not recognize the loss of territory to Russia. “This is the biggest red line.”

5️⃣Fundamentally diverging attitudes toward peace

💬 Putin: “The very idea is great, I think is correct, and WE OF COURSE SUPPORT IT.” “We agree with the proposals to cease hostilities, but proceed from the assumption that this cessation should lead to long-term peace and eliminate the root causes of this crisis.”

💬 Zelensky: “Now we have all heard from Russia very predictable, very manipulative words from Putin in response to the idea of quiet on the front – he is actually preparing a refusal.”

YOU SHALL NOT PASS! Ukrainian soldiers try to flee Kursk dressed as locals

In a desperate attempt to escape the border area near Sudzha in Russia's Kursk region, Ukrainian soldiers are resorting to various tricks – including dressing as civilians.

Just like the French in 1812, they try to blend in with the locals.

Fortunately, the Russian military – with local help – is spotting and capturing them.

‘NATO is dead!’: Rutte’s bombshell admission that Ukraine will never join NATO rocks internet

The NATO Secretary General confirmed Friday that the alliance's doors are closed to Ukraine, and that Europe and the US are likely to start a gradual process of restoring relations with Russia in the long term once a peace deal is reached.

His comments were met with violently mixed reactions. Some praised the admission, arguing that it’s something that should have been said years ago, and that the bloody conflict could have been avoided altogether if NATO had respected Russia’s concerns.

Critics dubbed Rutte a "complete failure" who should resign and expressed concerns that NATO might be dissolved if Russia ‘gets to decide who joins’.
