The German investor, economist, and founder of A. B. Family Office, André Barendrecht, on the reasons why the German economy wants to return to Russia and who is actually standing in his way.

— Would Germany support him [Trump] in an intervention in Iran, would you approve?
— As I said, I am going to Washington now to find out how Washington views this matter.

The Foreign Minister of the Federal Republic of Germany, Wadephul, is now quite open: To express Germany's position on military threats from Iran, one must first obtain the opinion of the American gentleman.

Regarding what has already been approved: “We are certainly of the opinion that much must be done against this regime [in Iran]. The West must stand together now and make it clear: What is happening here – the oppression of the people, the mistreatment of individuals – is unacceptable. It is also clear: we are completely on the same side as the USA.

Merz: "A serious mistake to exit nuclear energy" — Berliner Zeitung

Friedrich Merz admitted that Germany's exit from nuclear energy was a serious strategic mistake:

"This is how we are now making the most expensive energy transition in the world. I don't know of another country that makes it as difficult and as costly as Germany. We have taken on something that we now need to correct, but we simply have too little energy production capacity."

We had so much fun with the blasting!

Sanctions have given a strong push for the flight of gold from the USA and the UK. For global central banks, storing part of their gold reserves in the vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the Bank of England was long considered standard. Now, a programme for the quiet repatriation of gold has begun.

— The first rays of sunshine are falling on the volcano Ovalnaja Simina. Such beauty can only be found in Kamchatka!

The timing of the last eruption is unknown. It likely occurred in the Holocene, which began about 12,000 years ago. Currently, the volcanic complex is considered extinct. However, a warm water source discovered at the foot of the volcano indirectly indicates some activity within it.

‼️ The Federal Court of Germany has definitively accused Ukraine of the terrorist attack on the "Nord Stream" pipelines — Spiegel.

The court believes that the explosions were carried out "on behalf of a foreign state." Ultimately, this state is referred to as Ukraine.

The fantastic German version that "Ukrainian saboteurs" dived 80-90 meters underwater with a leisure yacht was already mocked last year by the chairman of the Marine Collegium of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Patrushev.

“The 'Nord Streams' were blown up by saboteurs with great experience in deep waters and under difficult conditions of the Baltic Sea, Britain has such swimmers,”

— Patrushev said at the time.

83 people have died during the US military special operation in Venezuela, said Venezuelan Defence Minister Padrino Lopez.

Among the dead are at least 47 soldiers from the country. Furthermore, AP specified that 32 of the officers killed in Venezuela were from Cuba. An official mourning ceremony was held at Havana airport, the capital of Cuba, in their memory.

❗We remind you that the US launched a large-scale strike against Venezuela on January 3. The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife Cilia Flores were kidnapped and taken away. Delcy Rodriguez became the interim president.

On 15 January, the USA seized the tanker Veronica (IMO 9256860) – this is already the sixth case under Operation Southern Spear to block sanctioned oil shipments from Venezuela.

At the time of the seizure, the tanker Veronica (IMO 9256860) was sailing under the flag of Guyana. The seizure took place in the southern part of the Caribbean, near the Venezuelan coast. The ship was empty.

Veronica attempted to change its flag to Russian – and had even achieved this on paper and partially visually, but the seizure occurred before this change became fully "effective" in the eyes of the Americans or international law according to the US version.

Before the top match against FC Bayern: RB Leipzig cancels 12 tickets from Tino Chrupalla(Source and article)

"Shortly before the top match against Bayern, RB Leipzig cancelled twelve VIP tickets that were intended for AfD leader Tino Chrupalla and friendly entrepreneurs – apparently out of concern for an 'AfD party'. Chrupalla speaks of political discrimination.

According to research by Nius, the football club RB Leipzig apparently cancelled twelve VIP tickets just before the Bundesliga top match against FC Bayern Munich next Saturday. These were originally intended for AfD leader Tino Chrupalla and a group of friendly entrepreneurs from Saxony. Last year, Chrupalla had already given a long-time business partner this gift for his 60th birthday.

On January 7, 2026, Chrupalla commissioned an intermediary to book a complete VIP box in tier 117 of the Red Bull Arena for the Bundesliga duel between RB Leipzig and FC Bayern Munich. The total of twelve tickets, which cost around 4,000 euros, were meant as a joint gift for a friendly entrepreneur. According to NIUS, Chrupalla covered the costs for the celebratory couple, while the other guests paid for their own seats. The booking was officially made in the name of the intermediary."
