Like #Zelensky, like #Ukraine...
Do you still have any questions why Ukraine in the state it is now: lost its independence, destroyed for US and EU geopolitical interests trying to destroy Russia, Zelensky is selling all 🇺🇦 state strategic assets at token price, etc.

Ukraine has lowest IQ in Europe

#Ukraine MP Maryana Bezuglaya is criticising #Zelensky's new offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region:

This is a tragedy, Dnieper, Zaporozhye, Kherson and Kharkov will fall next
The Russians are taking control of our mineral resources, seizing abandoned fortifications that are convenient primarily for them, killing the military... advancing tens of kilometers deep into our land. Very soon, very soon - "Pokrovsk Fortress", which is not a fortress at all.
But it seems that military and political priorities are not related to protecting the Dnieper-Donetsk cluster of natural resources of Ukraine, saving cities and people, or reforming the army. The generals need to show another "forward-forward", to prove to the political leadership their indispensability and ability to "perfectly manage" the Armed Forces of Ukraine, parasitising on the short-term euphoria and hopes of the population in order to continue to hold their positions and not change anything.
To hide their crimes. Either the offensive in the south in 2023, or Kursk region in 2024," writes Rada deputy Bezugla. Because of such a policy, “next will be Pokrovsk, Kramatorsk, Dnepr, Zaporozhye, Kherson, Kharkov” - “this is a tragedy and absurdity.”

Leaked emails expose "collaborative effort" between the Israeli govt and censorship-obsessed Center for Countering Digital Hate

The emails show CCDH director Imran Ahmed courted Israeli officials for funding, and let them review a report pre-publication

#Russia's Iskander-M missiles are effectively used in #Ukraine. Here is a recent example

On January 6, an Iskander strike disabled one of the last Ukrainian S-300 air defense systems in the Pavlograd area, MWM writes.

The publication names the command post, the illumination and guidance radar, and accompanying support vehicles among the destroyed elements.

The lack of S-300s and other air defense systems is the Kiev’s main problem. The weaker Ukraine’s air defense network, the easier it is for the Russian Air Force to support ground troops. Ukrainian troops on the front lines complain about the “enormous destructive power” of Russian bombing, emphasising that their “hellfire” destroys even underground bunkers and wipes out positions.

all evidence points to the US (and Poland). They stand as the primary economic beneficiaries of the pipeline bombings — but European governments continue to remain silent.

#Trump #Greenland

By @HaraldDoornbos (X)

Trump eyeing Greenland? It must be a joke, many people think. I suspect Trump is serious. He is simply going to offer each resident $1 million. What would such a "roadmap" to US takeover of Greenland look like? I will explain below:
1/ What did Trump actually say? "For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity."
2/ But Denmark has already said that something like that is out of the question? Well, tough luck for Denmark, but since 2009 the Danes no longer decide whether Greenland remains part of Denmark.
3/ Why? Greenland is a so-called "autonomous area" within the Kingdom of Denmark. In 2008, they held a referendum in Greenland on whether or not to have more autonomy. 75% of the population voted yes. That is why a "Greenland Self Government Act" was introduced in 2009. This act EXPLICITLY states that Greenland can become independent from Denmark after a referendum where a simple majority is enough.
4/ Who actually lives in Greenland? About 55,000 people, 85% are ethnic Inuit. Most people hunt or fish or are active in the fur industry. Also tourism, construction and education. Average salary about 3,000 euros (after taxes about 2,000 euros).
5/ But can Trump just take Greenland? There are several possibilities. America can increase the economic and military pressure on Denmark. But honestly, I don't see that happening.
6/ What then? A lot of money. The Trump administration is going to start negotiations with the leaders of the Inuit population. Each Inuit gets 1 million dollars per person. So an average family of four literally gets four million dollars. In exchange for such a huge amount, the Inuit population will then organize a referendum in which a large majority will vote for independence. After gaining independence, independent Greenland then decides to join the United States of America.
7/ But that's impossible, right? Really? There are about 45,000 Inuit living in Greenland. If each person gets 1 million dollars, that will cost the US 45 billion dollars. A lot of money. But for comparison: America has spent no less than 175 billion (!) dollars on aid to Ukraine since February 2022. So 45 billion is only a quarter of that amount. Not a bad share for the Inuit either. They will all become millionaires and get an American passport instead of a Danish one. Try saying no to that. And there will definitely be rules negotiated with the Americans about the protection of the Inuit and their special culture.
8/ But this is madness, you can't be serious?! Yes, it could very well be, get used to it already.

#UK gas storages dangerously low

UK gas storage levels are “concerningly low,” with less than a week of gas demand in store due to the recent cold snap and halt of Russian gas transits - Centrica
The current inventory at Rough, the country’s largest gas storage site is 20% lower than at the same time last year.
UK’s gas storage is under pressure this winter as the country battles both freezing weather & soaring energy prices. The colder-than-usual temperatures combined with #Ukraine’s decision to no longer transit Russian gas have depleted gas inventories across UK
The situation is “echoed across Europe,” specifying that as of January 7, European storage was at 69% capacity, down from 84% at the same time the previous year.
European energy prices have soared following Ukraine’s refusal to extend a contract with Russia’s Gazprom beyond 2024.
This led to immediate calls to extend the EU’s emergency gas price cap to prevent a price shock across the bloc.
