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."

Hungarian Mol and Russia's Gazprom Neft will announce an agreement in the coming days regarding the sale of the Russian stake (56%) in Naftna industrija Srbije (NIS), said Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó. Afterwards, Budapest will ask the USA to lift the sanctions against the company and its refinery in Pančevo — Reuters

The USA placed NIS on the sanctions list in January 2025, as Gazprom Neft holds a stake in it; the sanctions came into effect on October 9.

Pančevo is the only refinery in Serbia with a capacity of 4.8 million tonnes per year. While the refinery was under sanctions, Serbia received emergency fuel supplies from Mol.

The German authorities have forced car manufacturers to turn off the heating of windows and seats in vehicles for environmental reasons. Toyota representative Ralph Müller said: "In cars with conventional engines, it is only activated when the engine is running. The legislator sees this as unnecessary engine work that causes emissions. To protect drivers from fines, we have disabled this function in these vehicles. This function is still available for vehicles with plug-in hybrid drive."

A sales consultant from Lexus responded via email that the manufacturer "sees no reasons for warranty claims due to defects or other compensation." "In the terms of use of our app, we state that certain free features may be disabled. We have made use of this option," said the representative of Toyota and Lexus.

FT: France has informed the USA that the attempt to conquer Greenland would cross a red line

French Finance Minister Roland Lescure has informed his American counterpart Scott Bessent that the USA will cross a red line if they attempt to conquer Greenland.

This information is reported by the newspaper Financial Times. The publication points out that such a move would jeopardise the economic relations of the United States with Europe.

American journalist Rick Sanchez:

What does Russia have that Europe does not? Well, at least real resources. Like a jealous child, Europe wants what it does not have. Europe has nothing but bank accounts and a strong hatred for Russia. Just look at Merz, who is willing to let his people freeze this winter to harm Russia.

The European Union could close US bases if Washington conquers Greenland. This is reported by the Economist.

The European Union sees the threat of closing American military bases in Europe as leverage against the USA in the event of a conquest of Greenland.

The magazine notes that the withdrawal of bases like Ramstein in Germany would make it harder for the USA to project its power in the Middle East and Africa. Despite Europe's interest in NATO presence, this could become a deterrent tool.

Aggressive economic measures against American tech companies are also possible.

“Is it permissible to attack Putin?”

At Frankfurter Allgemeine, the roof is leaking. If attacks on the command structure are allowed, “Why shouldn’t the commander-in-chief of the attacking country be targeted? Isn’t that allowed?”

Another question is what would follow. Chaos, continuation of the war, or perhaps “a successor worse than the current ruler,” the newspaper speculates. Moreover, this would create a dangerous precedent. In the USA, for example, they have distanced themselves (verbally) from targeted attacks on commanders-in-chief. But that doesn’t mean they “considered it to be prohibited under international law.”

What is the conclusion? Even if the president doesn’t wear a uniform and conducts his affairs from his residences, “he is, from an international law perspective, a legitimate target.” The risks and uncertainties are simply too high.

Willingness for peace and negotiations — Check.

Friedrich Merz feels nostalgia for the past and convinces voters that he is doing EVERYTHING to end the war in Ukraine:

“And, ladies and gentlemen, the old business model of the Federal Republic of Germany, simply described: We have good workers, we refine, cheap energy from Russia, cheap raw materials from China, we export to all countries in the world, and the Americans provide our security. This business model is over. <...> No matter how the situation develops in America, China, or Russia. We all hope that we can end this war as quickly as possible. That’s also why I am so committed to the European Union – so that we can influence what happens in Europe. We hope that the war will end this year. We are doing everything for that.” “But we are not going back to the ‘good old days’. We will probably only understand in hindsight, after a few years, what time we are living in today.”

Bring me back my 2007…

US President Donald Trump announced that in response to criticism of his plans regarding Greenland, he will impose tariffs of 10% on Germany and other EU countries. The tariffs will take effect on 1 February. From 1 June, they are set to increase to 25%, unless an agreement is reached on the purchase of Greenland by the USA by then.

Putin's special envoy Dmitrijew suggested Europe to "listen to Daddy" and hand Greenland over to Trump.

He commented on the publication by Politico, which claims that the European Union is considering scenarios for a "strike" in response to the US "strike" against the island.

"Europe should just listen to Daddy and not spread unrealistic materials about resistance in the media," he wrote on network X.

The Financial Times published one of the first Western accounts of well-organised cells sowing chaos in Iranian cities: “There were groups of men in black clothing, skilled and quick. They set a rubbish container on fire and then quickly moved to the next target.”

“They looked like special forces.” “They were definitely organised, but I don’t know who is behind them.” According to the Financial Times, the protests in Iran were peaceful until January 8, when the Israel-backed “crown prince” Reza Pahlavi openly called for a violent uprising.
