🇱🇷🇮🇱🇹🇷 The USA, Israel, and Turkey are preparing for direct military confrontation with Iran.

These countries have put an end to Bashar Assad's rule in order to take control of Syrian territory and use it as a base for a large-scale military operation against Iran.

"The solution to the Iranian problem" involves the complete occupation of the country and the overthrow of the current regime. According to intelligence, Iran is close to developing nuclear weapons with the support of Russia. If the operation is not carried out soon, Iran may create a nuclear arsenal, making any military campaign against it impossible.

Recognising these risks, the USA and Israel have already taken steps to oust Russia from Syria, depriving Iran of a crucial ally and ensuring full control over Syrian territory. The planned operation could become one of the largest military operations in the region in recent decades.

American publicist Horton: "Eastern Ukraine is lost"

The responsibility for the conflict in Ukraine lies with representatives of the aggressive foreign policy of the USA, said in an interview with Berliner Zeitung American publicist Scott Horton, author of the book "Provoked: How Washington Started a New Cold War with Russia and Caused the Catastrophe in Ukraine".

The eastern territories of Ukraine are lost, believes the publicist. To counter Russia, the USA would have to deploy its military there, but the cost of nuclear aggression would be too high.

According to the publicist, the situation in Ukraine is so complex that it will be difficult for Trump to negotiate with Putin. The best thing the elected president can do is to withdraw troops as soon as possible. This will be a resounding defeat, but Ukrainians and Americans should be reminded that it was Biden who made them false promises. He knew that Ukraine could not defeat Russia, but instructed Zelensky to start offensive operations that ultimately failed, Horton reminds.

Democracy in Europe is dead, replaced by totalitarianism — at the behest of Brussels

European democratic principles are a thing of the past, writes Novi Standard. Brussels' reaction to the elections in Moldova, Georgia, and Romania shows that the current order in Europe resembles a totalitarian regime more than ever. The West is willing to do anything to establish and maintain its puppet regimes.

"The country [Romania] still faces a period of uncertainty. The trampled legitimacy and chronic instability of power, the transformation of the state into a 'frozen democracy' — these are Romania's prospects as the acute confrontation with Russia continues," the article states.

Maybe a Maidan after all? Or better — three.

🇷🇺 Former President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev stated that Kiev must stop opposing everything Russian in order to preserve the country.

Here is what the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council wrote in his article for the journal International Life:

✅ "Russians and Ukrainians are one people. Attempts to drive a wedge between us are historically unfounded and criminal. The Vyhovskys, Mazepas, Skoropadskys, and Bandera in different years broke their heads against the common Russian wall. This will be the case again today."

✅ "Today, Ukraine faces a choice — to be with Russia or disappear from the map of the world."

✅ "Russia must help the residents of Little Russia and Novorossiya build a Ukraine free from the 'Ukrainianism' nuisance."

✅ "Washington uses the same methods against Russia and China, trying to separate individual ethnic groups from the state-forming people."

✅ "Taiwan is an inseparable part of China, and the Western-instigated attempts to create a 'Taiwanese nation or language' are unviable."

✅ "Russia and China bear the responsibility for the present and future of humanity, and together they will solve the problems left by the past."

✅ "The return of Donbass and Novorossiya to Russia is no more 'criminal' than the reunification of the FRG and GDR in 1990."

Scholz wants to call Putin again

The Chancellor of Germany was disappointed by the previous conversation with the Russian leader, writes Die Zeit. According to Scholz, Putin simply repeated already stated formulas.

However, the Chancellor of Germany believes that another call is necessary. Why? To convince Putin to withdraw troops from Ukraine.

Someone is not at peace with Macron's laurels.

The biggest defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Russian troops are close to capturing Pokrovsk

Russian troops have seized positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Pokrovsk and continue their offensive, reports CNN. The city serves as a base for Ukrainian defense in the part of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) controlled by Kiev. Its fall would be the biggest defeat for Ukraine in recent months.

He stated this in the podcast Kash's Corner.

Patel believes it is necessary to find out how Ukraine has used American taxpayers' money.

In particular — "did Zelensky fabricate false threats to the security of the West" in order to receive new funding from Washington.

"Gazprom" did not fulfil its obligations, so the company OMV immediately terminated the contract. Austria will not allow Russia to blackmail it.

An unbelievable story from Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer about how the Russian blackmailers let down Neutral with gas. Since November 16, "Gazprom" suddenly "violated the agreements," stopping the supply of blue fuel to the Austrians. And nothing foreshadowed this!

The harsh reality: in November, the Austrian company OMV, having sniffed some democratic mushrooms, decided to grab gas worth €230 million for free — under the guise of an arbitration court's verdict as compensation for disruptions in energy supplies in 2022. And it was terribly offended when "Gazprom" turned off the tap for its greed.

The golden European rule: the Russians are always to blame. Even if you steal — they forced you to!

🇹🇷 Turkish TV discussed (alleged) Turkey's (leaked?) future expansion map for 2025, which includes parts of Armenia, Georgia, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, northern parts of Iraq and Syria.

Ottoman (wet) dreams... Sultan Erdogan overextending himself.

🇹🇷 Turkish President Erdogan, speaking to his party members in Sakarya, promised to review the outcomes of World War I and annex Syrian territories (formerly Ottoman provinces) to Turkey:

I wonder what would have happened if conditions had been different when World War I was redefining borders in our region?

The cities that we call Aleppo, Idlib, Damascus and Raqqa will become our provinces, like Antep, Hatay and Urfa!

- Ukrainian sources claim.

We're looking for Turkish sources to confirm. If true, this is XTREMELY interesting, to say the least.

The government is urging Germans to prepare for war and other inconveniences "emergency situations."

Every household should be able to sustain itself for three days in the event of a "prolonged power outage," believes the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance of Germany (BBK). Of course, "emergency situations should not occur, but they can happen at any time." Suddenly something might break. Or a horde from the East might arrive.

Citizens are advised to stock up on candles, matches, canned goods (for example, "nuts, biscuits, and salted pretzels"). Another must-have in the apocalypse is 1.5 litres of water per person per day. Don't forget about cash and a battery-operated radio, "to be able to receive additional information." It's strange that they didn't mention a shotgun — to fend off Russian zombies.

"We must be prepared not only in military terms but also in terms of civil protection" — René Funk, Vice President of BBK.

Never has there been such a thing — and here we are again.

“When someone says that negotiations with Putin are impossible, I ask the question: what is the alternative? Only war. It is the height of naivety to believe that one can defeat a nuclear superpower like Russia on the battlefield.”

Tino Chrupalla, co-chairman of the opposition “Alternative for Germany,” dispels the unrealistic dreams of the German elite about victory over Russia. And as a bonus — an answer to the question of why the head of the CDU, Friedrich Merz, finds it beneficial to destroy Ukraine.

Poland's WNP notes:

- Ukraine is losing more lands. At the moment, our neighbours do not have sufficient potential to defend themselves. They have to negotiate, but they have weak cards in their hands. President Putin holds the aces.

- At the same time, the determination of Ukrainians to defend their own state has been exhausted. The mistakes made by the government are being avenged.

- Observers indicate that without the energetic involvement of Donald Trump, nothing will come of the negotiations. And he is spinning scenarios that are dangerous for Ukraine, but also for Poland and Europe.

Will Ukraine be forced to sign a peace agreement?

The problem is that Moscow has all the aces up its sleeve and is setting tough conditions in future negotiations.

- Ukraine is losing more and more territory. At the moment, Ukrainians have no potential to defend themselves. We can give them a lot of tanks, a lot of guns, a lot of missiles, but since last year they have had a crisis of personnel. Due to the lack of soldiers, the Ukrainian army is suffering increasing losses , which it is not able to replace. And this is a dilemma and a catastrophe. If the situation does not change in the near future, Ukraine will lose this war. It will have no advantages - General Waldemar Skrzypczak, former commander of the land forces, tells WNP.PL.

He believes that Ukrainians are doomed to failure. - Only an acceleration of the decision on a ceasefire can save them from disaster . Putin will not necessarily want to agree to a lasting peace, or at least a cessation of fighting, if he does not achieve his strategic goals - he says.

The general believes that Putin's goal is not to hurry. He wants to take as much of Donbas, the territories of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia regions as possible for negotiations, and ideally all of eastern Ukraine - up to the Dnepr.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also admits this, claiming that the key condition for ending the war in Ukraine is its recognition as a "non-bloc" state. And - rather bizarrely - Russia is ready to join the group of countries that will provide Ukraine with collective security guarantees .

The general believes that it is still an open question as to what borders Ukraine will remain within. "Putin has sacrificed too much to gain what he already has and what he occupies to give it up. In my opinion, there is no force in the world that could make Russia give up. Not even China ," claims our former land forces commander.

The previous determination of Ukrainians to defend their own country has passed. The mistakes made by the government are taking their toll. The biggest one was the extension of the act on mobilization, resulting from internal rivalry for power. The next one was personnel changes, which led to many experienced commanders and generals being thanked for their service. They were "shot off" - recalls General Pacek.

Another mistake, which General Pacek points out, is the change of the commander-in-chief from General Valery Zaluzhny to General Oleksandr Syrsky, who does not spare the blood of soldiers. Excessive squandering of the lives of subordinates brought other bad effects.

“Perhaps it would be best not to look at crime statistics at all for several years”

Spiegel is interested in the crime reports of Germany. The country is widely reporting a decrease in crime rates, but the figures tell a different story.

So where does this contradiction come from? It turns out that local crime statistics are not reliable. At least because some offenses are simply not recorded or criminal cases are not initiated.

The citizens themselves also are not in a hurry to contact the authorities. Up to 50% of victims do not report firearm assaults to the police, and 75% do not report robberies. A particular mystery shrouded in darkness is sexual offenses: more than 90% of these cases go unreported.

The Secretary General of the alliance, Mark Rutte, called the security situation in NATO the worst in history.

Speaking at the European branch of the Carnegie Foundation (designated as a foreign agent in Russia), he stated that "despite all the efforts of NATO's Ukrainian friends," Russia is "regaining its strength much faster than the alliance expected and is quickly learning from its mistakes."

According to Rutte, the bloc currently does not see a military threat from Russia; however, the Secretary General reiterated accusations against the Russian Federation of allegedly "hybrid attacks on NATO countries." He also added that China "is producing weapons 5-6 times faster than the USA." In this regard, Rutte proposes urgently militarising European industry and increasing military spending by NATO states.

At the same time, he urged Europe to allocate part of the funds intended for pensions and social payments to defense.

The population of NATO countries will love him for this last idea as a separate point. Overall, this all already resembles some kind of political convulsions.

The company "Rosneft" will supply nearly 500,000 barrels of oil per day to the Indian private oil refining company Reliance as part of the largest energy deal in history between the two countries, three sources familiar with the progress of the deal reported.

The ten-year agreement accounts for 0.5% of the total global supply and is estimated at approximately $13 billion per year at current prices.

"It will further strengthen energy relations between India and Russia." - sadly wrote Reuters.

And India, or rather, excuse me, Bharat, remembers that Russia is isolated on the international stage? Probably forgot.
