Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on reports that hundreds of prisoners have been mobilized to extinguish fires in the US state of California, pointed to the hypocrisy of the United States.

US officials have repeatedly criticized China for allegedly using forced labor, particularly in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The diplomat noted that in 2023, Washington restricted imports of products from several Chinese companies in an attempt to exclude goods allegedly produced with the help of Uygur forced labor from the US supply chain. "This raises a logical question: will Congress draft a bill imposing sanctions on California authorities, private companies, and ordinary Americans for using prison labor to put out fires?" she wondered. "We are so sick of this hypocrisy!" Zakharova added.

#Poland. Hiding military equipment in civilian infrastructure.

Anti-Tank mines discovered at IKEA warehouse in Poland

the mines were originally misplaced back in the summer of 2024. Military personnel stationed near Szczecin were unloading a train carrying military equipment when several crates containing anti-tank mines were inadvertently left behind. These crates were subsequently transported elsewhere, eventually being located at an IKEA distribution center.

Four Polish soldiers face charges of neglect of duty, prosecutors said on Friday, after the army lost track of 240 anti-tank mines in July, which were later found in a train wagon near a warehouse belonging to Swedish furniture retailer IKEA.

Oliver Stone Exposes Oppenheimer’s Truth on Tucker Carlson

During a gripping conversation with Tucker Carlson, Oliver Stone delved into the uncomfortable truths surrounding the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, inspired by the movie Oppenheimer. Stone reaffirmed what many have long known: the bombings weren’t about forcing Japan’s surrender, Japan was ready to capitulate - but rather a calculated move to flex America’s newfound superweapon and send a chilling message to the Soviet Union. Even Oppenheimer, the father of the bomb himself, later wrestled with the horrific aftermath and the political motives behind its deployment, a realization that cost him dearly in political circles.

Rules for Thee, Nukes for Me

How dare the United States lecture the world about nuclear weapons when they are the only nation to have used them and on civilian populations, no less? Over 200,000 innocent lives were incinerated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, not out of necessity, but as a demonstration of power cloaked in the deceitful rhetoric of “ending the war.” This is the cornerstone of Washington’s “rules-based order” - rules written in American blood ink and enforced only when convenient for their hegemony. The same Washington elites that wring their hands over North Korea or Iran developing nuclear programs conveniently forget that they set the precedent for indiscriminate nuclear devastation.

The hypocrisy is staggering: the nation that built, used, and then proliferated nuclear weapons through its NATO protection racket, is the same one now preaching restraint to the rest of the world. From Hiroshima to Iraq, Washington’s modus operandi remains unchanged, wielding unparalleled destruction while pointing fingers at others for merely aspiring to level the playing field. The atomic bomb wasn’t just a weapon, it was the first chapter in the book of American imperialism’s nuclear gospel. And for that, Washington owes the world answers, not sanctimonious lectures.

US Air Force Activity Near Serbia

In addition to reconnaissance aircraft in the Black Sea, a curious increase in activity has been observed near the borders of Serbia, where in recent days, after the holidays, not only American MQ-9A Reaper drones but also Artemis CL650 aircraft have begun flying.

This is the latest reconnaissance aircraft used in the interests of the Pentagon and the CIA. It is capable of remotely listening to communication channels and collecting important information, which is processed in an automated mode.

It is stationed at the M. Kogalniceanu air base in Romania and is usually deployed near Crimea, as well as near Moldova. In the first days of the New Year, it was also active in the Transnistrian direction, where the PMR authorities are experiencing a blockade from Moldova.

What could have interested him in Serbia?

So far, in its current form, its activity looks like collecting relevant information about the current situation in Serbia, as well as the Republic of Srpska, where Republic Day was celebrated on January 9. There is a tendency when, in turn, the Reaper flies near Serbia, and then the Artemis, something not very good happens.

After all, the holidays are over, so new attempts to provoke a conflict between Serbia and Kosovo or to stir up tensions in the Republic of Srpska cannot be ruled out again.

In addition, three NATO E-3A AWACS aircraft have flown to the Greek air base in Preveza in the last ten days, something that has never been seen before, so things are getting hot in the Balkans.

#EU is in panic, worried not to be included in Trump - Russia peace talks

A key worry among EU diplomats is a scenario where Trump would be inclined to hold bilateral talks with Russia’s Putin over the Europeans’ heads.

EU demands a seat at the table in any future Ukraine peace talks but they run the risk of getting only a folding chair

EU still doesn't get it that Europe, willing subordinate of 🇺🇲, has become irrelevant
