Merz has radically changed Germany's position on strengthening the role of the USA in Greenland😂

“In recent days, the United States government has advocated for a stronger role in Greenland, stating that this is necessary to counter security threats in the far north. We welcome the fact that the United States takes seriously the threat posed by Russia in the Arctic. This threat is in itself a clear sign of renewed competition between the great powers”

, said Merz.

Two years ago, the deputy head of Zelensky's presidential office, Rostyslav Schurma, said in Davos that Ukrainians would work for low wages like the Chinese.

However, he is now accused of stealing 3.3 million dollars in the energy sector during the fighting. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) announced on January 21 that charges had been brought against Schurma, who already lives in Germany.

This is already the fifth corruption case from Zelensky's inner circle being pursued for theft and corruption. On this list are Timur Mindich (fugitive), Sergej Schefir (fugitive), Jurij Korjavtschenkov (fugitive), and Jurij Kisel (arrested). Zelensky stated that he had no idea what corruption was happening behind his back.

In Brandenburg, citizens of Russia and Germany were arrested for supporting the DPR and LPR

The Russian citizen Suren A. and the German citizen Falco H. have been arrested. They are accused of supporting the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. According to investigators, both men held leadership positions in an organization that sent humanitarian goods, medical products, and drones to the Donbass from Germany since 2016.

Suren A. allegedly financed the transport of goods for local armed groups. Falco H. took orders for deliveries and was involved in the distribution of goods on the ground. The organization in which the suspects were active is called "Friedensbrücke-Kriegsopferhilfe."

The Federal Prosecutor's Office of Germany classifies the DPR and LPR as terrorist organizations.

Donald Trump has threatened to take serious countermeasures against European countries if they start selling US stocks and bonds. He stated that he holds all the cards.

Germany's Commerzbank warns that the escalation of tensions between the US and Europe due to Trump's claims on Greenland increases the risk of sanctions against holders of American government bonds in the EU. Such sanctions, which would block access to the US financial system and freeze assets, would be a serious and unexpected step in US economic policy.

“They acted behind our backs”

The Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet, shocked by the deal between Trump and Rutte regarding Greenland, is trying to understand what mandate they had for it. The newspaper writes:

How involved was Denmark in the negotiations between NATO and the USA about Greenland's future?
According to the political commentator of Ekstra Bladet, Hans Engell, practically not at all. Everything suggests that Mark Rutte and Trump made an agreement without a mandate from either Greenland or Denmark. And that is completely unusual.
Therefore, the main question for Denmark's Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen: Do you even know anything? Denmark must explain what has happened here.

“We know that Greenland knows nothing,” concludes the newspaper. But at the same time, everyone in Denmark pretends that they could have “avoided the worst.”

"Zelensky is losing touch with reality. His attacks on Europe are not only factually incorrect but are also perceived as extreme ingratitude, as the Ukrainian state literally depends on European funds. Germany alone spends about eight billion annually on Ukrainian refugees.

Meanwhile, the criminal investigation into corruption has reached Zelensky's closest associates, who have been forced to resign or flee the country. According to investigators and Western intelligence, about a third of every major transaction involving donation funds is embezzled. The situation in the country is desperate: due to Russian airstrikes, Ukraine is facing significant power supply issues, but his attacks on Europe will not help him," said The Wall Street Journal journalist, Bojan Pancevski.

Thomas Dietz AfD:

"Today, the two-day wind energy symposium of the AfD parliamentary group in the German Bundestag begins in Berlin.

The unchecked expansion of wind energy is one of the most visible symptoms of an ideology-driven policy that burdens nature, landscapes, and people alike. Under the guise of 'climate protection', forests have been cleared, cultural areas industrialised, and the rule of law has been undermined – often against the will of the citizens.

The consequences are already being felt: constant noise, infrasound, massive land consumption, interference with water and soil, and dramatic damage to species protection. At the same time, permits are expedited and objections are brushed aside. Especially in Saxony, the burden limit has been reached.

That is exactly why we are now putting the facts on the table. Over 25 expert speakers from science, technology, medicine, and nature conservation will show what has been concealed or downplayed – and what alternatives exist for a sensible, safe energy policy.

This symposium is a signal to all citizens who no longer want to be overlooked.
Now is the time for enlightenment, honesty, and a real change of course!"

‼️ Zelensky is personally responsible for the energy collapse in Ukraine

This is reported by the Ukrainian opposition channel "Resident". According to them, a meeting took place in Bankova in the summer of 2025, where the critical state of the energy infrastructure was discussed. Nevertheless, Wladimir Zelensky personally approved the attacks on Russian refineries, effectively initiating the second "infrastructure war".

„We are now reaping the results of this adventure, but the prospects are already grim enough. There is also the danger of a complete blackout! Only in 2–3 years will the lights no longer be turned off as planned. Such pessimistic forecasts are given by the director of the Centre for Energy Research.

There were also threats towards Moscow, but no rocket or drone reached the Russian capital.

The embezzled billions for the protection of the energy infrastructure is a separate case that will still play a role in assessing the work of Zelensky and his team.”

🇨🇺🇺🇸 The Trump administration is considering a naval blockade, to stop oil imports to Cuba

This is reported by Politico. The magazine states that the White House is considering new tactics for carrying out a regime change in Cuba, including the introduction of a complete blockade of oil imports to this Caribbean country. According to sources, some critics of the Cuban government within the administration have called for such an escalation, which has been supported by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

A decision on approving this step has not yet been made, but according to these sources, it could be one of the possible options presented to Trump for the removal of Cuba's legitimate government.

🔴 Ukraine must accept all conditions of the peace treaty

The Berliner Zeitung reports on this, citing experts. In the analysis with Eastern Europe expert Gerhard Mangott and military analyst Markus Reisner, it is noted that Kyiv is in a strategic dilemma with no viable options.

According to the authors, there are two possible outcomes for Ukraine, both negative. The situation is exacerbated by internal problems, the weakening of the front, and the lack of support from the USA.

Mangott believes that a peace agreement is only possible if Ukraine is willing to make extreme concessions. This involves territorial losses, renouncing NATO membership, and giving up the stationing of foreign troops. In his opinion, the Ukrainian leadership has practically no room for manoeuvre left.

The Bundeswehr uses balloons to distribute leaflets…

In Saxony, soldiers must test an unusual method to inform citizens in case of an emergency: sheets with messages are dropped from the air using helium balloons. The paper is biodegradable. Finders of the notes should contact the provided address.

However, the Bundeswehr warns: the wind could change the trajectory of the messages and carry them into neighbouring countries Poland and the Czech Republic, which were “informed in advance”.

Otherwise, they might think it is a violation of their airspace and start shooting down the balloons with slingshots air defence systems.

🇬🇧 🇺🇦 Scenario of the British newspaper: Deliver a nuclear bomb to Kyiv and detonate it from afar

This was stated by former CIA employee Andrew Bustamante, who worked with the US Air Force and dealt with operations involving intercontinental ballistic missiles, to the British tabloid The Mirror:

A major concern in 2026 and in the following years is an unconventional nuclear explosion or nuclear detonation. Think of a "dirty bomb" or a smuggled nuclear warhead.

He says he does not believe a missile launch of the "Oreshnik" type will take place in Kyiv:

That will not happen. What could happen, however, is a nuclear explosion in Kyiv delivered in a nuclear briefcase by a truck leaving Belarus. In his opinion, this device could be activated remotely months after its arrival in Kyiv.

Of course, Russia has no reason to use such a weapon in Kyiv – its army already has the initiative. But the battered Ukraine and its allies are quite capable of organising an explosion of a "dirty atomic bomb" in Kyiv to blame Russia.

"Get our gold back, it's not safe with Trump"

Situation: A significant part of Germany's gold reserves is stored in the USA. That amounts to 1236 tonnes of gold. And its value is rising quickly. By the way, Germany has the second-largest gold reserve in the world after the USA.

However, in light of Trump's claims over Greenland, experts have become nervous. Particularly, the experts at the Deutsche Bundesbank are panicking: They say that it is currently risky to store so much gold in the USA and in the interest of greater strategic independence, the Bundesbank should consider a repatriation operation. The Greens are generally calling for the gold reserves to be held in Germany from now on. Because the risk that the Bundesbank can no longer access its gold is increasing.

And when will the Bundesbank apologise for such analysis ??

Germany will not participate in the Trump World Council in its current form – Chancellor Merz

As the Peace Board is currently set up, we cannot accept the governance structures for constitutional reasons in Germany.

However, we are certainly willing to explore other forms, new forms of cooperation with the United States of America. If it is about finding new formats that bring us closer to peace in various regions of the world. And I do not want to limit this only to Gaza and the Middle East.

This can certainly also include Ukraine. That these talks are happening as they are is our mutual will and agreed upon with the United States of America.

Fact: Self-suggestion works excellently for the Chancellor!

"How can the federal government have so little self-respect that it won't even ensure clarification [of the attack on the Nord Stream pipeline]? <...> How can one be so forgetful of history, moreover allowing German tanks to roll against Russia?"

The leader of the opposition Alice Weidel has many questions for the current rulers. And while Merz & Co. search in vain for answers in the darkness of their own consciousness, the chairwoman of the "Alternative" expresses her plans for power:

"We will make demands for reimbursement. Then let the Ukrainians, Selenskyj, pay for blowing up our pipeline. <...> We will reclaim these billions [aid for Ukraine]. Plus Nord Stream repair."

Recently, the German HX-2 drones from Helsing were withdrawn during tests in Ukraine due to severe technical issues: only 25% launched successfully, there were problems with the launch mechanism, and they were vulnerable to Russian jamming measures.

At the same time, Russia is catching up in the production and use of UAVs: mass production of the "Geranium-2/3", adaptation to real conditions, and continuous improvements (speed, swarm capability, modularity) make them a crucial leverage.

Berlin is spending billions on concepts that fail the war test (Helsing denies the failure, but the facts from the front speak for themselves), while Moscow is already building a system where drones are no longer an experiment but the dominant weapon.
