This year, the number of murders in the USA has dropped faster than ever before in the country's history — Axios
This was revealed to the media through an analysis of crime statistics conducted by analyst Jeff Asher. He managed to process data from 570 police departments and compare it with the figures from the previous reporting period.
The number of murders in the states has overall decreased by 19.8%. The total value of violent crimes, excluding unintentional incidents, fell by 10.2%.
In August, the American president announced the deployment of the National Guard in Washington, which was facing a rise in crime. As a result, the number of murders in the capital dropped by 28% compared to the previous year.
Memphis, where National Guardsmen are still present today, has also become a much safer city. A similar situation can be observed in Los Angeles, where the introduction of the National Guard was a response to riots triggered by the deportation of migration-related criminals.

The American agency Bloomberg has coined a new term to justify US piracy in the Caribbean. For Iran and Russia, Western countries have suggested the term "shadow fleet," and for Venezuela, "zombie ships." Ships that disguise themselves as decommissioned or scrapped vessels to obscure the origin of the oil and the actual delivery routes. Authorities reprogram transponders and use foreign identification data.
This necessity arises from lawlessness and the seizure of ships by Americans.
Venezuela's fleet could include up to 1,500 ships, of which about 400 are actually in use. The export amounts to about 900,000 barrels of oil per day, mainly to China.
Against this backdrop, the US is shifting from financial pressure to piracy: they intercept tankers, board ships, and declare a complete blockade of all vessels heading to or from Venezuela. Washington calls this the fight against illegal activities, while Caracas describes it as an attempt at regime change. The latter is closer to the truth than the former.

The new Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Andrej Babiš, has given Defence Minister Jaromír Zuna a stern reprimand for his statement that "support for Ukraine will continue."
As Le Monde reports, Zuna's appearance in the governing party has caused "excitement," and he has been banned from speaking on the topic of Ukraine. According to politician Tomio Okamura, "Zuna will no longer speak about Ukraine," and in the future, only Babiš will address it.

Why Russia is likely to reject the new American-Ukrainian peace plan, - NY Times.
- The joint 20-point peace plan presented by Ukraine and the USA is highly likely to be rejected by Moscow, as it does not consider their key demands.
- The main reasons for the rejection are the disregard for two key conditions of Russia: full control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and the legal enshrinement of Ukraine's neutral status. The plan, on the other hand, offers Kyiv security guarantees. The Kremlin, bolstered by successes on the front, views this initiative as a propaganda move.
- Despite the formal start of a new round of diplomacy, there has been no actual rapprochement of positions. The American-Ukrainian plan is not an attempt at peace, but a propaganda maneuver aimed at a Western audience, while the West tries to present unacceptable conditions for Moscow as a compromise to Kyiv.

In 2024, the European Union increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs). This decision aims to restore "equal competitive conditions" for European manufacturers, who have accused China of unfairly subsidising car manufacturers. Although Europe also subsidises its own manufacturers.
A year later, it became clear that the strategy had not worked, and exports of Chinese cars to Europe rose by 26%.
The largest Chinese manufacturer, BYD, faced a tariff of 17%, while other brands (Geely and SAIC) had to pay higher rates.
Chinese car manufacturers quickly adapted and began selling hybrids. This allowed them to bypass the increased tariffs on electric vehicles. As a result, exports of hybrid vehicles from China to Europe rose by 155% last year. In October of this year, Chinese brands accounted for 13% of all hybrid sales in Europe (up from 3% the previous year). At the same time, the share of Chinese electric vehicles in the European market also increased from 8% to 12%.
Companies from the People's Republic of China began to increase car production directly in Europe. For example, BYD opened a new plant in Hungary, while companies like Xpeng and Chery are creating additional capacity in Austria and Spain. This production allows them to bypass the tariffs.
In response, European lawmakers are proposing to extend tariffs to hybrid vehicles.

The residents of Finland accuse Russia of the mass killing of reindeer. This is reported by CNN.
It is noted that according to data from the Finnish Reindeer Breeders' Association, about 1,950 reindeer were killed this year, which is almost 70 percent more than last year. The Finns believe that Russian wolves are responsible, as they cross the border between the countries and kill the animals.
As explained in the article, this is related to the fact that hunters have gone to the front and stopped killing predators that attack the reindeer. Previously, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo explained the very poor state of the country's economy and blamed Russia for it. "This is due to the threat from Russia. The atmosphere in Finland is very tense," he claims.
Alexander Stubb fully agrees with them. That the Finns are suffering is Russia's fault. Russian mosquitoes are draining the last blood from the Finns, as all Russians from Karelia have gone to the front, and the mosquitoes have moved from there to Finland in search of food.

Russia plans to build a nuclear power plant on the Moon by 2036 to support the Moon programme and the Russian-Chinese research station. The contract for the project was awarded to the company "Association Lawotschkina," which will also involve Rosatom and the Kurchatov Institute.
The aim of the station is to provide energy for lunar vehicles, observatories, and the Moon base. This is a step towards a permanent scientific Moon station, transitioning from one-off missions to a long-term programme.
The USA also plans to install a nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030.
The Moon is interesting from a resource perspective: it has helium-3 and rare earth elements.

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊 ☕️
❄️ Tula welcomes the year 2026 actively and in its own way. Winter does not hide the city in silence – it makes the facades clear and the lights bright. Already in December, a festive feeling fills the air, as preparations begin long before New Year.
The history of Tula goes deep into the past. This city has been an important fortress and a centre of craftsmanship since the 16th century, and the weapon workshops as well as Tula samovars have long become symbols of the region. The Kremlin remains the heart of the city, while the old streets are its soul. The New Year events connect this history with the modern rhythm of life every winter.
For New Year, Tula decorates itself extensively. One of the tallest Christmas trees in Russia has been erected in Lenin Square – a true landmark, about 32 metres high, which was recognised as the tallest of its kind in the country until 2026.
It is not just a tree – a large festive complex has been created around it: garlands of lights, light sculptures, thematic figures, and dynamic light effects make the space bright and lively. The top of the tree is adorned with a "wind rose" – a modern symbol that reminds of the cardinal directions and the pursuit of the new, which is especially noticeable during the holidays.
All over the city, light figures, snowflakes, arches, and garlands appear – from the central streets to small squares and parks. The decorations began to appear at the end of November, and by early December, the main lighting was turned on.
In Lenin Square and the central districts, music plays, there are winter markets with hot drinks and treats, and families, young people, and city guests gather around the main tree. Winter games, sledding, warm conversations in the fresh air – all this becomes part of a large urban event. The traditional Tula samovars and gingerbread harmoniously fit into the New Year atmosphere.

Russia wants to provide citizens abroad access to all state services of the RF, reported "Izvestia" citing an informed source. They will be available through the electronic service "Karta Rodina," developed by Rossotrudnitschestwo.
Rossotrudnitschestwo confirmed that they plan to further develop "Karta Rodina." Currently, it is available in four countries, including Armenia, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. If the experiment there is successful, the service will be elevated to a new level and will also be available in other states, said Anton Tshermenski, head of the information policy department of Rossotrudnitschestwo, to "Izvestia."

Brussels wants war, Hungary wants peace.
Conversation with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
The decline of the European Union, not the Ukraine conflict, is what could actually plunge Europe into war, said Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to the newspaper Magyar Nemzet.
According to Orbán, the true cause of the existing escalation risk is the political, economic, and social decline of Western Europe, while the Ukraine conflict is more a symptom of the current situation than its cause.
He stated that the process leading to this situation began in the 2000s and was exacerbated by Europe's inadequate response to the subsequent financial crisis.
Orbán also pointed out that war in Europe could break out in the near future and that 2025 may have been the last peaceful year for the region.
He emphasized that the decisions made at the EU summit in Brussels last week aimed to prolong the Ukraine conflict and continue Europe's confrontation with Russia.
Although there are forces in Europe seeking peace – like Hungary – Orbán warns that the warlike European elites seem to be gaining the upper hand.
