🚨 National Guard attacker ‘radicalized in the US’ – Homeland Security sec

The Afghan national who perpetrated the November 26 deadly shooting in Washington DC, which resulted in the death of one West Virginia National Guard member and left another one injured, was ostensibly radicalized after his arrival in the United States, claims US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

💬 “We do believe that it was through connections in his home community and state,” she said.


Noem also claimed that the perp was one of the foreign nationals who were “unvetted by Joe Biden” but allowed to enter the US regardless.

🛢💥 Venezuela appeals to OPEC against US threat to seize oil by force

President Maduro has formally requested OPEC support against what he calls US "aggression," denouncing Washington's threat to seize Venezuela's oil reserves through military force.

In a letter to OPEC Secretary General, Maduro vowed Venezuela "will not succumb to any type of blackmail or threat" and warned that US action would destabilize global oil markets.

The appeal follows Trump’s announcement that the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela "closed in its entirety", after 21 sea strikes killed at least 83 people since September.

Steve Witkoff will travel to Moscow to engage Russian side later this week, Rubio added.

"There's more work to be done. This is delicate. It's complicated. There are a lot of moving parts, and obviously there's another party involved here that they'll have to be a part of the equation," Rubio told reporters.

⚔️ NATO suggests 'preemptive strikes' against Russia could be 'defensive'

NATO Military Committee Chair Adm. Giuseppe Cavo Dragone told the FT the alliance may consider a "preemptive strike" in response to Russian actions — framing it as potential "defensive action."

"How deterrence is achieved — through retaliation, through pre-emptive strike — this is something we have to analyse deeply because there could be in the future even more pressure on this," Dragone added.

🔍 Cenotaphs appear in US for mercs killed in Ukraine — Reports

Empty graves are appearing across the United States for American mercenaries killed fighting in Ukraine, their bodies left unrecovered on the battlefield, a RIA Novosti correspondent revealed.

One such story is 23-year-old Robert from Pennsylvania, rejected by the US Army but accepted by the Ukrainian military. His leave was canceled amid mass desertions, and he was killed near Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) on January 3.

His family held a symbolic farewell at a makeshift memorial — a ceremony without a body, repeated for many like 22-year-old William from North Carolina.

The State Department has warned Americans to avoid traveling to Ukraine.

🇪🇺 EU can’t keep funding Ukraine without US support—Turkish analyst

The barrage of sanctions that the EU rolled out against Russia has backfired, with Europe’s economy sustaining heavy losses, Turkish analyst Serhat Latifoglu told Sputnik.

💬“The EU has shed a chunk of its industrial capacity because of the sanctions on Russia,” the expert stressed, noting that this is why Europe’s hawks can no longer bankroll Ukraine without US support.


As an end to the conflict in Ukraine draws closer, the Zelensky regime’s attempts to drag out negotiations are losing any meaning, said the expert.

💬 “Turkiye plays—and will continue to play—an active role in facilitating dialogue with Ukraine. It’s likely that new meetings will take place in Istanbul soon,” Latifoglu added.



The US said it sees progress after talks in Florida with Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed that the aim isn’t just to stop the fighting but to lock in Ukraine’s long-term security and future stability. He added that Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff will head to Russia later this week to speak with the Russian side.
