My latest article on Strategic Culture: https://strategic-culture.su/news/2026/01/02/why-rich-refugees-flock-to-ukraine-from-impoverished-europe-for-christmas/ Are these still refugees who supposedly cannot return to their homeland? Anger is boiling over in German and Dutch cities – and rightly so. While many Europeans are having to count every euro twice in this crisis of Europe’s own making, convoys of Ukrainian cars are heading east during the Christmas holidays. These refugees, reportedly fleeing Russian bombs and drones, are being well supported financially by Germany, the Netherlands, and other European countries – yet as Christmas approaches, they suddenly return home in high spirits.

At the Polish-Ukrainian border, cars are stuck in traffic jams for kilometers. Journalists report hours-long waits, and the flow of returning travelers shows no signs of abating. Families registered as war refugees are heading back to Ukraine for the Christmas and New Year holidays. While air raid sirens supposedly never cease in Ukraine, the fear of missiles and drones appears to fade. The contradiction is stark. Mainstream outlets like Deutsche Welle, whose reporter Christopher Wanner covered the border traffic, have reported on these queues (the report can be viewed here).

Today marks five years since Trump ordered the brutal assassination of Qassam Soleimani and Abu-Mahdi al-Muhandis in Iraq. Both were master strategists, and thanks to them, many ISIS fighters were eliminated at the time. Now, after five years, the Middle East is a cesspool of misery, and ISIS, or as parts of it now call itself, Hayat-Tahrir-as-Sham, has risen to power. A new caliphate has emerged, this time in Damascus, where numerous brutal assassinations have taken place in recent weeks, including the killing of a brigadier general of the SAA, and many young Alawite men—even an engineer—most of whom were too young to have anything to do with Bashar al-Assad's government. Soleimani once said that if Syria falls, the entire Levant will fall, and the suffering will be incalculable, and that is exactly what has happened. On the very day of the American assassination of the two generals, explosions are heard in Venezuela. Maduro, like Iran, is America's so-called enemy. America, a continent that has fought more than 200 wars and killed millions of people, continues to wage war, even under Trump. It's probably in the American genes to be barbaric! After all, it was mostly Europeans who colonized America and massacred the Native Americans, so what do you expect from them?

So Trump is now embroiled in his next war after Gaza and Iran, after not even one year as president—this is now his third war, and he wanted the Nobel Prize? After his involvement in the Gaza war (weapons), Iran, and the coups in Syria, the brutal war in Lebanon, now it's the bombing of Venezuela, and he says bluntly: "He wants the oil and Maduro dead." The attacks on the so-called drug boats were merely a distraction. The US is a greedy, belligerent entity, as it always has been.

The new year has already gotten off to a bad start thanks to the terrorist attack in Cherson, which Western media haven't reported, and now they're claiming that Russia attacked an apartment building in Kharkov. It's unbelievable how the Western press allows itself to be exploited for the lies and political agendas of belligerent European, US and Ukrainian politicians. In my view, they are also complicit, not directly, but indirectly, in spreading lies and turning a blind eye to the murder of civilians.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defence:
"The information about the alleged attack by the Russian Armed Forces on Kharkov on 2 January is not true.
❗️ The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation neither planned nor launched attacks using missile weapons or aircraft weapons within the city of Kharkov.
Based on eyewitness-made videos published by Ukrainian information resources, the epicenter of the explosion was located in the Persona shopping center at 2, Olesya Gonchara Street.
On the published footage, heavy smoke of unknown origin was recorded in the building a few seconds before the explosion, which indicates that there was a high probability of detonation of the ammunition stored there by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The statements of the Kiev regime about the alleged 'Russian strike on Kharkov' are intended to distract the attention of the international community from the violent terrorist attack committed by the AFU on the night of 1 January against civilians in the settelment of Khorly (Kherson region).

Of course, the leaders of the European Union and the countries within it are silent, completely silent. In many meaningless words, they're essentially saying they're afraid to condemn their big, fascist brother, America. All talk and organizations about human rights and democracy can be thrown overboard. America, and Trump in particular, has shown its true colors, although it was already clear to many of us after his first term. But now he's gone a step further and simply kidnapped a democratically elected president, under the pretext of drugs. If he had wanted to do that, he should have started with Colombia and, where the worst smuggling takes place, the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, which are still Dutch colonies. A Netherlands-America problem could potentially arise there. The US is nothing more than a colonial power in the style of the British Empire, racist and fascistically brutal and wanting to steal the oil, and the worse part is that the US wants to rule Venezuela says it all, Hitler did the same. People in Europe (not governments) are trying to stand up against this renewed colonialism and fascism, a good deed and effort, although of course it won't help, but still...
Like in Berlin; The American flag was torn and burned in front of the US embassy. Protests against Washington's interference in Venezuelan affairs are also taking place in other cities and countries in Europe.

Flag-burning in Berlin

No need for many words for this cartoon. If he really wanted to tackle drugs, he should attack the Dutch ABC Aruba Bonaire and Curacao and Columbia, there is the problem. But of course, it's about the oil; the American oil companies are already in, the US - British Empire 1.0.

'Vladimir Litkin, a captured serviceman of the Ukrainian army, spoke about forced mobilisation, nominal training and threats from the command.I don't want to return to Ukraine because they are driving me to certain death there'.

My latest article in Dutch, easily to be translated in any language:
We zijn terug in de middeleeuwen, alles wordt opgelost door middeleeuwse krijgsheren
https://freesuriyah.eu/2026/01/05/we-zijn-terug-in-de-middeleeuwen-alles-wordt-opgelost-door-middeleeuwse-krijgsheren/https://freesuriyah.eu/2026/01/05/we-zijn-terug-in-de-middeleeuwen-alles-wordt-opgelost-door-middeleeuwse-krijgsheren/
Mag ik beginnen met te zeggen dat we een historische “duistere” periode zijn ingegaan, zoiets als de “donkere” middeleeuwen in Europa, maar dan in een moderne variant natuurlijk. Mensen werden daar vervolgd vanwege hun geloof, net zoals sommige van mijn voorouders, de hugenoten, uit Frankrijk moesten vluchten. Nu vindt moderne vervolging plaats door (ongetolereerde) meningen op sociale media of vanwege verkeerde politieke opvattingen voor de EU-leiders. In de middeleeuwen heersten kerkvorsten en krijgsheren. Nu hebben we Trump als de nieuwe krijgsheer en de EU-leiders als de nieuwe kerkvorsten.

Krijgsheren zoals Trump en zijn entourage, bestaande uit idioten en techmiljardairs zoals Elon Musk en Mark Zuckerberg, hebben ook een nieuwe manier gevonden om de bevolking te onderdrukken met behulp van AI. YouTube is daardoor een regelrechte puinhoop geworden van fakes. De EU-kerkvorsten van de EU volgen slaafs hun meester in Amerika; Amerika is immers groot gemaakt door voornamelijk criminele nakomelingen van Europeanen.

Vrijwel de hele internationale gemeenschap veroordeelde de ontvoering van de Venezolaanse president, iets ongekends en ondenkbaars in de moderne geschiedenis. Normaal gesproken vindt dit in het geheim plaats, denk maar de ontvoering van ontvoering van Noreiga uit Panama onder nog een andere oorlogscrimineel George Bush Sr.

Trump is een gevaarlijke narcist die denkt dat hij overal mee weg kan komen; hij is de belichaming van “The Apprentice”. Gelukkig zijn alle naïeve mensen die Trump als de Messias beschouwden en in de VS op hem gestemd hadden, nu wakker geschud. Hij heeft zijn vazal, Marco Rubio, aangesteld als onderkoning, die Venezuela namens de VS zal besturen. Net als in de Middeleeuwen kan hij in dit geval de olie stelen en verkopen aan zijn kerkvorsten in de EU.

Mossad is recruiting people in Iran, via Telegram or X; Tehran police capture and interview Iranian Mossad agent (English subs)

Russian units of the 34th Separate Motorised Rifle Brigade took control over Grabovskoye (Sumy region)
Russian troops hit main centres of enemy resistance by precise strikes of artillery and drones. The enemy suffered losses and was forced to abandon its positions and leave.

While the world is preoccupied with Venezuela, other things are happening, such as the power outage in Berlin, which has now lasted nearly for a week. Tens of thousands of households, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and businesses in southwest Berlin have been without power since Saturday morning. Large parts of Steglitz-Zehlendorf have been affected by the outage.The far-left Vulkan group has claimed responsibility for an arson attack on a cable bridge at the Lichterfelde nuclear power plant. 25,500 households and 1,200 businesses are still without power. Power is expected to be restored by Thursday.
Initially, Russia was mentioned as a possible culprit, but it now appears that it's merely a group labeled as far-left by far-right politicians, but in reality, a group that disagrees with the energy consumption of the new AI data centers. These data centers consume much energy https://freesuriyah.eu/2025/12/26/kerstbezinning-zal-ki-ai-de-mensheid-uitroeien-of-is-het-slechts-een-instrument-voor-onderdrukking/

The other country that Trump and the EU have removed sanctions on, Syria, is daily inundated with assassinations, murders, kidnappings, and so on. Like yesterday in Safita, where the majority of Christians and Alawites live. Young men were taken from their homes, dragged out of the barbershop, and killed in cold blood because they might have had connections to the army, or perhaps not, but there is no justice in Syria anymore; it is lawless and ruled by criminals, just like in the US. Campaign in Safita:
Safita: On the morning of January 6, HTS-led General Security forces arrested Alawite civilians in the city of Safita. Those could be identified include Abdul Aziz Mukhaybar, the mayor of Al-Adeeda, and Ghassan Dioub, a barber who was arrested from his shop in the city market. Four additional young men were also arbitrarily detained from the market area.
Also Assef Mahna Mahna, from Tartus Governorate, was arrested by by the HTS-led General Security forces (many of them foreigners from the Caucasus etc) ten vehicles raided the village of Beit Tleijah and detained him from his home at dawn on January 5, 2026.
Sheikh Assef is an Arabic language teacher and serves as Secretary of the Alawite Council in Tartus. He was forcibly arrested without a judicial warrant, and without any regard for his position or social standing.
Syria is no more, it's a lawless country, with it's HQ at the caliphate in Damascus

The next invasion or coup by the criminal gang of the US will likely be Iran, but perhaps Colombia will be first, or Greenland or Cuba. This is the state of affairs we've reached in the world, it's beyond words. In Iran, there's a lot of work being done by that other criminal, Netanyahu, and his Mossad in collaboration with Trump-US. As I wrote, Reza Pahlavi (son of the last Shah) is being prepared to become the new President-Shah of Iran. On X (groomed by Musk and Mossad), he suddenly has a large account and claims:
"I spoke to the @WS about the Iran protests, the role my compatriots are calling on me to play, and what a free Iran will mean for the world. “I’ve stepped in to lead this transition... It’s about self-determination... freedom... rebuilding our country.” https://x.com/PahlaviReza/status/2008269992677331095
