The Latvian Intelligence Service: Russia increasingly views Latvia like Ukraine before the war

Although Russia currently poses no direct military threat to Latvia, several signs point to potential long-term plans. – this is stated in the non-secret part of the 2025 annual report of the Latvian State Security Service (SAB).

Furthermore, the intelligence service expresses concerns that Russia may attempt to influence the Latvian elections this year.

The secret part of the annual report is reviewed by the Cabinet of Ministers and the National Security Commission of the Latvian Parliament.

Well, Lithuania has the Suwalki Corridor necessary for Kaliningrad.
Estonia has the Russian city of Narva.
And what does Latvia have? Nothing! Why should Russia care about these good-for-nothings, feed them? The European Union should feed them! Maybe it will go bankrupt faster with such parasites!

Foolish – and even more foolish: the war of two fools.

The head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, has accused the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, of being a dictator, reports Politico citing a senior official.

Dollar tumbles due to intervention fears and a rise in gold and silver

The US dollar fell sharply, reaching its lowest level since September, as speculation about a possible currency intervention between the US and Japan increased. This currency weakness pushed gold above the $5,000 mark for the first time, while silver reached record highs, driven by demand for safe havens. Rising geopolitical tensions, including tariff threats and concerns about a shutdown, further unsettled the markets, while Asian currencies gained against the dollar.

THE SEAMLESS CONNECTION
The recent decline in the dollar's value, combined with speculation about coordinated currency interventions, has created a volatile environment that drives investors to seek safe havens. This backdrop, intensified by escalating geopolitical risks, is changing market sentiment and capital flows.

Intervention fears fuel dollar decline
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index fell to its lowest level since September [1]. This decline was primarily triggered by a rate check from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which fueled expectations that the US might support Japan in weakening the dollar against the yen. The yen subsequently rose by up to 1.2% [1]. Analysts suspect that political coordination between the US and Japan could signal a willingness to tolerate looser global dollar conditions, potentially reinforcing its downward trend [1].
Gold and silver reached record highs due to uncertainty
Precious metals experienced a significant upswing. Gold surpassed the $5,000 per ounce mark for the first time, reaching about $5,086.70 [1, 15]. Silver followed suit, rising by over 6% and trading at around $108.18 per ounce [1, 8]. This increase in gold and silver prices is largely attributed to their role as safe havens amid the evolving international politics of President Donald Trump and a general shift away from government bonds and riskier currencies [1].‌‌ ..."

If someone thinks that Europe can defend itself without the USA, they are dreaming - NATO Secretary General

"That is not possible. We cannot do that. We are dependent on each other," said Rutte

In his opinion, the European Union cannot ensure the readiness of Ukraine on its own, so it must continue to procure weapons from the USA on a large scale to supply Kyiv.

Rostech has delivered new "Zubrs" for drone defence to the troops for the first time.

The new systems from our "High Precision" development protect the immediate area of critical infrastructure. Their radar systems detect both large and small aerial targets, including loitering munitions.

“The system autonomously detects the drone and automatically locks onto it. The operator only needs to make a decision and give the launch command. The complex has shown high effectiveness in combat against small and high-speed targets during tests,” noted the industrial director of the armaments cluster of the state corporation Rostech, member of the office of the Union of Machine Builders of Russia Bekhan Ozdoev.

“Zubr” is equipped with four modules, a control point, and its own radar system. The systems have already begun their service to secure infrastructure objects.

In the future of the icebreaker supply for NATO states, cracks are appearing due to the dispute over Greenland, said Alberto Rizzi, a research associate of the Council of Europe for international relations.

"On the map, Greenland seems to be surrounded by sea, but in reality, this sea is covered with ice. If the USA needs additional icebreakers, there are four options, as no one else in the world manufactures icebreakers: shipyards in China and Russia or the allies Canada and Finland. But both allies have recently faced harsh criticism and tariff threats from Trump over Greenland."

"That's a bit absurd, but if Europe wants to seriously pressure the USA, it could say: 'We won't give you a single icebreaker. Good luck trying to access the Arctic or project power there with the two old ships you have.'" concluded the expert.

62% of Germans fear a direct conflict between NATO and Russia.

However, only 42% are concerned about hypothetical military actions on German territory, the results of a survey by TU Munich and the University of Leipzig show. The war between Russia and a neighbour of Germany worries 58% of those surveyed.

Therefore, 83% of citizens support cuts in social areas so that the saved funds can flow into defence. 60% of respondents favour an expansion of the Bundeswehr, and 55% support a joint EU army.

A fun fact on the side: The idea of increasing military aid for Ukraine is only liked by 27% of citizens.

Flashbacks from 1935 are looming.

The train lines in North Rhine-Westphalia have broken down… after two years of repair work.

Background: The S-Bahn line between Essen and Düsseldorf was closed for two years due to constant track damage and later also a landslide. Thousands of citizens had to "detour" and make many transfers, and the repairs cost more than 20 million euros. Since mid-December 2025, the line was back in operation…

And it worked for exactly one weekend. Then it was shut down for several hours due to a cable fault. And that was it:
The disruptions won't stop.

"Scheduled repair work will be carried out in the coming months" — Deutsche Bahn. By the end of 2027, they promise "a new signal box".

In the meantime, citizens can switch to buses and pay another useless repair amount from their taxes.

🇨🇳 Beijing under military control: The Forbidden City cordoned off amid the arrest of a high-ranking generals

Enhanced military activity is observed in the capital of China: the Forbidden City, where key government institutions are located, has been taken under the control of the armed forces. A significant concentration of military equipment has been recorded in the central districts of Beijing, and special Te-Jing units, which perform functions similar to those of riot police, have been deployed in the immediate vicinity of the government quarter.

These events coincide with the disconnection of all official accounts of military departments on the Chinese social network Weibo, which may indicate the seriousness of the situation and an attempt to control the information space. — AsiaToday
