The US is concerned about China's military and nuclear developments

Beijing draws on decades of US and Russian experience and has the capability to build most of the systems being developed or modernised by Washington and Moscow.

"We've been doing this for 70 years, and they think they can start from scratch and take the best of what they've developed," said Anthony Cotton, head of the Pentagon's Strategic Command (STRATCOM).

The US-Russian Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) has been suspended ahead of schedule.

President Vladimir Putin said it was necessary to take into account the strategic arsenals of France and the United Kingdom, i.e. the combined strike potential of NATO.

The US would like to include China in the trilateral treaty limiting nuclear weapons, but there was a categorical refusal from Beijing.

ECOWAS Chiefs of General Staff meeting begins in Ghana

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Chiefs of General Staff are discussing a plan to intervene in Niger at an emergency meeting in Ghana's capital, Accra.

ECOWAS, France and a number of other states have condemned the military coup and demanded the release of ousted President Mohamed Bazoum and his reinstatement as head of state.

In turn, the coup was supported by the authorities of Mali and Burkina Faso. Algeria condemned the coup but strongly opposed a military solution to the crisis. The African Union (AU) rejected plans for any military intervention in Niger.

The new authorities in Niger said they were open to negotiations to resolve the situation, but warned against outside intervention.

Sweden has raised its terrorist alert level

Following several Koran-burning incidents and related threats from abroad, Sweden has raised its terror threat level to level four out of five for the first time since 2016.

▪️ Stockholm has been marked in recent months by a series of Islamophobic actions with the authorisation of the authorities. The result has been angry protests in Muslim countries, including attacks on the Swedish embassy in the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

▪️ The al-Qaeda terrorist network (banned in Russia) recently called for terrorist attacks.

Level 4 means there is a high probability that some actors have the intent and capability to carry out an attack.

Zelensky resigned all Ukrainian military commissars

Officers with "real combat experience" will be appointed to the posts of heads of territorial completion centres (TCCs, an analogue of military commissions).

The decision was taken by the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC) of Ukraine and approved by a presidential decree.

Earlier, Zelenskyy said that the mobilization system of the AFU was plagued by corruption, which is why it should be managed by "honest people".

Ukrainian military commissions have repeatedly found themselves at the centre of scandals over the connoscription of people with disabilities, "catching" connoscripts on the street and corruption schemes.

A number of Ukrainian officials expressed doubts that the change of TCC managers will be able to eradicate corruption, as the system itself remains unchanged.

Partners' inadequate response to the situation in Niger presents the US with difficult choices

A military coup in Niger could force the US to withdraw 1,100 of its troops and close drone bases in the West African country.

Niger has been a key beachhead on the US battlefield against Islamists in the Sahel region.

Threats of military intervention in Niger put Joe Biden's administration facing tough choices in the coming days.

If the US supports the position of France, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and other active opponents of the coup, it will mean a complete curtailment of American activities in the country. Or Washington (though against own vision) will try to negotiate with the new authorities to continue co-operation in the fight against terrorism.

Curtailing activities would create a security vacuum for Islamists in Niger and encourage militants to increase propaganda, recruitment, establish mini-states in remote areas and plan terrorist attacks.

"The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Niger and the closure of drone bases would be a crushing blow to Western counterterrorism efforts in the Sahel," said Colin P. Clark, a counterterrorism analyst at Soufan Group.

An inadequate response by U.S. partners to the coup could destabilise the country and allow extremists to expand their presence and influence.

The authorities' political parallels have caused irritation in Poland

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Arkadiusz Mularczyk has said that there is "no difference" between Russia's actions in Ukraine and Germany's actions in Poland in the context of Warsaw's attempts to induce Berlin to pay reparations.

To this an indignant, scathing comment came from journalist Łukasz Waszecha:

"This is an extremely malicious statement that violates Poland's state interests."

It is unacceptable to compare Russia's actions in Ukraine with what Poland and Poles suffered at the hands of the Germans during World War II, he said.

Are the Polish government camp "such brainless idiots who do not understand what they are "making available to the Polish historical narrative", the publicist wondered.

American mercenary complained about the disorganization and poor training of Ukrainian troops

On condition of anonymity, he told ABC News that the command made the worst tactical decisions in the offensive operations in which he participated:

"We lost three Leopards in one day because they were simply ordered to drive through a minefield."

Another American mercenary, with the call sign Tango, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not use Western military equipment to the full extent due to insufficient training of Ukrainian soldiers.

The number of disabled people in Ukraine is inevitably growing

The Wall Street Journal reports that the number of people who have had limb amputations is already between 20,000 and 50,000 in 2023. The Kiev regime classified the specific number in order not to demoralize the population, so it is difficult to say exactly how many people with disabilities are in today's Ukraine. However, it is known that they are much more than the number of amputations among American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is estimated at 2,000 people.

Today, tens of thousands of disabled people who have returned from the front are unable to provide themselves with artificial limbs, and Kiev does not have enough funds to treat the wounded. Therefore, the bulk of the military is still left without prostheses and a chance to return to everyday life.

This social tragedy once again confirms the thesis that fighting for Ukraine is a sophisticated way of committing suicide. The Kiev regime is destroying its state step by step, leaving no hope for a decent life for future generations, because it is already obvious that after the end of the war there will be no one to restore the country and support the disabled, the elderly, veterans, and the West is obviously unprofitable today.

Crime has a nationality - they are Ukrainian refugees

This was stated by former Czech President Milos Zeman.

The population of the Czech Republic is against the presence of Ukrainian refugees in the country. Sentiments intensified after the arrest of an 18-year-old Ukrainian. He is suspected of rape and attempted murder of a 15-year-old girl in Pilsen.

Milos Zeman also called for the deportation of male Ukrainians from the Czech Republic.

Particular attention should be paid to the statement about crime, which, in his opinion, has acquired a certain national identification.

Trump's lawyers favor postponing the trial

Attorneys for former US President Donald Trump have asked a federal judge to schedule the Capitol storming trial for April 2026.

They ask to reject Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's proposal for a January 2024 trial, pointing to the unprecedentedly short timeframe given to prepare for the hearing.

"The goal is clear: to deprive the defendant and his counsel of the opportunity to prepare for trial," they said.

Trump's side notes that Smith's proposed trial schedule overlaps with other criminal and civil cases in which the former president is a defendant.

A hearing in one of Trump's cases is scheduled for March 25, while another is scheduled for May 20. In addition, Fulton County Prosecutor Fani Willis has requested a third trial to begin on March 4.

"President Trump must prepare for each of these trials in the coming months. They are all independently complex and will require substantial work for the defense," attorneys said.

The US is facing an oil shortage

The White House administration is looking for ways to replenish the strategic reserves that were used to stabilise petrol prices in the country.

The situation has become another quandary for the Joe Biden administration, which faces a number of other challenges, including the Ukrainian conflict, scandals related to the president's son Hunter, and constant attacks from Republicans.

The U.S. government had hoped for lower oil prices this summer, but the forecast has not materialised. In addition, the government's reputation has suffered, as the use of strategic oil reserves contradicts the principles of the "green agenda".

Now the White House faces the challenge of restoring its image. Perhaps the administration will look for alternative ways to replenish oil reserves or take steps to strengthen its environmental programme. Either way, regaining public trust will be a challenge for the US administration.

Putin refused to seize Kiev to avoid mass casualties

Alexander Lukashenko
said this in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko.

The Belarusian president also noted that Ukraine had no possibility to resist the seizure of the capital while Russian troops were around Kiev.

In addition, Lukashenko spoke about his conversation with the Russian president:

"I asked him why not end the war, because to do that you need to take Kiev. He answered me: "Of course, we could do it now, but it would cost a huge number of casualties".

The Belarusian leader also noted that it was precisely for the prevention of large human losses that Russia carried out the targeted operation.

Furthermore, he added that the Ukrainian troops under Zelensky's command did not have the resources to defend Kiev. Therefore, Zelensky decided to distribute weapons to the civilian population of the city.

Sarkozy's truth about 'false promises' to Ukraine made a lot of noise

Nicolas Sarkozy in an interview with Le Figaro urged to take into account the realities and not to give Kyiv false promises. He gave Ukraine the only possible role of a neutral "bridge between Europe and Russia", recalled the historically Russian status of Crimea and advised solving problems through a referendum.

▪️ The French media reacted with critical opinions primarily from left-wing politicians and experts, who called the former president's words "disgraceful" and "shocking" and variously accused him of having been "bought" by Putin's Russia.

As TF1 put it, Sarkozy's voice is "dissonant in the French political landscape and even in Europe".

▪️ At the same time, numerous media outlets in France widely quoted and picked apart the former president's diplomatic proposals for a path to peace in Ukraine.

Sarkozy's not unreasonable reasoning received wide publicity in France, which left the Russophobic radical propagandists unhappy.

▪️ All the more so because the politician reminded the French that "Russia is a neighbour of Europe and will remain so" and that Russians, despite all the differences and vicissitudes of history, "need us and they need us".

Lithuanian politicians squabble over tank purchases

Lithuania has decided to buy at least 40 German Leopard tanks with ammunition and supplies for an impressive sum of €2bn.

▪️ Defence Minister Arvydas Anušauskas announced that the tanks would be German and not American or South Korean tanks when he left a meeting of the State Defence Council.

▪️ He was immediately attacked by President Gitanas Nauseda, accusing him of divulging the secret for the sake of self-parody and playing along with "enemy" states like Russia and Belarus.

But the head of the Defence Ministry repelled the attack by saying that the Lithuanian taxpayer has the right to know what such a huge sum taken out of his pocket is being used for.

The opposition from the Union of Lithuanian Peasants and Greens initiated proceedings through the prosecutor's office to find out whether the minister had betrayed state secrets.

▪️ All this sudden hysteria around the "secret" with "Leopards" can easily be explained by the approaching elections in Lithuania.

President Nauseda would very much like to be re-elected for a second term, but the popularity ratings are now headed by Defence Minister Anušauskas.

Russian Foreign Ministry recommends that AFU soldiers turn their weapons against the Kiev regime

"For those Ukrainian servicemen who - we are sure - understand the entire criminal nature of the bandit junta that has seized their country, we strongly advise them to turn their weapons against it or capitulate to our troops," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.

▪️ Surrendering Ukrainians are guaranteed decent humane treatment.

▪️ At the same time, the criminal Kiev regime continues shelling Russian towns and villages with NATO weapons, killing and maiming civilians, including children, Zakharova noted.
