🇩🇪 The rating of Germany's ruling coalition has fallen to a new low
These are the results of a poll conducted by the INSA sociological institute especially for BILD am SONNTAG.
Only 15% of voters are ready to vote for the SPD, 12% for the Greens and 5% for the FDP.
Thus, the current ruling "traffic light" coalition has a total of only 32% of the vote. This is the lowest figure in history.
In the last Bundestag elections, they won 52%. Since then, their popularity has been steadily declining.
The main opposition force in the form of the conservative CDU/CSU bloc alone would get as much as the entire ruling coalition of three parties - 32%.
In second place is the far-right opposition Alternative for Germany (23%). According to INSA, 59% of citizens would like early elections to the Bundestag in the near future, without waiting until autumn 2025.
With such a policy in the "interests" of Germany, Scholz will have to resign and hold snap elections to the Bundestag.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Negotiations on Ukraine in the US Senate fail again - The Wall Street Journal
The negotiating group on tougher migration policy (the Republicans' demand in exchange for aid to Ukraine) has failed to reach a compromise. In fact, it is unlikely that this issue will be agreed before Christmas, the newspaper says.
✖️ Although the Biden administration is ready to make significant concessions, many Republicans "have expressed scepticism about any deal in recent days," WSJ notes.
Thus, Kiev has lost its last hope for New Year's aid, as the EU has not agreed on 50 billion euros, and the US Congress has gone on holiday and does not plan to return early because of so called independent country.

Norway did not allow a plane from Russia with a dying man to land
On board a Nordwind plane flying from Moscow to Cuba, one of the passengers suffered internal bleeding due to a stomach ulcer.
▪️ The pilots requested an emergency landing in Oslo, but Norwegian authorities refused.
The plane was forced to return to Moscow. Fortunately, the man was alive at the time of landing in Sheremetyevo and was immediately sent to hospital.
▪️ The Norwegian authorities billed the incident as an act of humanism. They said they had generously allowed the Russian passenger plane to fly over the country because there was a threat to human life.
Norway, like the EU, is engaged in a sanctions war against Russia and bans Russian flights. Exceptions are rarely made for diplomats or medical transport.

Italy wants to distance itself from arms supplies to Ukraine
The intention of the government of Giorgi Meloni to extend military aid to Ukraine in 2024 is meeting more and more obstacles.
There is a political clash in the government between Matteo Salvini's "League" and the Italian Prime Minister, writes IL Fatto Quotidiano.
▪️ The "League" has made it clear to Giorgio Meloni, albeit unofficially, that the aid package to be presented to a parliamentary committee on Tuesday should be the last arms package for Kiev.
▪️ But the split is also seen within the ruling Brothers of Italy party. Deputy Prime Minister Giovanbattista Fazzolari, Meloni's right-hand man, is pushing for an early extension of aid to Ukraine.
However, Defence Minister Guido Crozetto, who looks back on pacifists and does not want to be known as a "warmonger", wants to postpone the issue until early 2024. Especially since Italy's arms stockpile is visibly melting.

Kiev's ardent supporters suggest freezing the conflict and passing it off as a victory over Moscow
Ukraine and Western bosses no longer have faith in victory on the battlefield, so a key goal for them is to defend the Kiev regime, says the Financial Times.
▪️ Ukraine enters the new year without ammunition, money or diplomatic support. And if this continues, 2024 will be the year that Russia switches from defence to attack, and by the summer Kiev will be doing very badly.
▪️ The intermediate option between a freeze and a formal peace treaty will be a ceasefire, the British media notes.
The two sides would agree only on a ceasefire, without touching on any of the fundamental political issues.
The division of the Korean peninsula into North and South at the end of the war could serve as a prototype.
Even Kiev's most ardent supporters suggest coming to terms with the frozen conflict and declaring victory.
"We have to turn the page and summarise that Putin has failed," said one former US official.
▪️ Speaking of the South Korean model, the FT cites the fact that Seoul focused on rebuilding its economy after the war and succeeded.
The important point here is that Ukraine now retains access to the sea and has prospects of joining the EU.

🤯 🇬🇧British schools will have to encourage children to change gender identity.
So far, the initiative is on an advisory basis.
But official government guidance will be released this week, allowing schools to decide for themselves whether to approve pupils' gender reassignment and whether to inform parents about it.
It makes sense that one day English headteachers will be obliged to campaign for gender transition.

🤡🇵🇱Poland is trying to close the scandalous Russophobic commission investigating the Smolensk plane crash
After the death of President Lech Kaczynski in 2010 in a plane crash near Smolensk, the Interstate Aviation Committee concluded that the cause of the tragedy was crew error.
The same was stated by the first commission investigating the crash. But the second commission, which was formed already under the current authorities, said that Russia was to blame for the accident.
😂 The experts of the commission launched into violent Russophobic fantasies - for example, they adhered to the version that the plane was actually blown up by a bomb and blamed Russian air traffic controllers for the tragedy.
As a result, the Polish Ministry of Defence got tired of the fantasists and announced the dissolution of the commission.
❗️ However, the chairman of the commission, Antoni Macierewicz, refused to wind up the work: he said that he would try to continue the investigation, moreover, he intended to appeal to the Court of Human Rights and accuse Russia of Kaczynski's murder and, at the same time, of "the first attack on a NATO state".

US has a clear plan for Ukraine's future development, Blinken said
And it does not involve allocating money at the current level.
As for the funds allocated earlier, they also did not reach Kiev in their absolute mass. Blinken reiterated that 90% of the aid was spent in the United States to strengthen its own defense industry.

A court in Colorado has barred Trump from running for office
A court in Colorado has ruled that Donald Trump, because of the storming of the Capitol in January 2021, is not eligible to participate in primaries in the state, the first such decision.
The former president will appeal it to the Supreme Court.
The decision is based on the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Under the third clause of that amendment, a person who has held a military or civilian position cannot hold public office after participating in a rebellion.
Trump's campaign office called the Colorado court's verdict wrong and undemocratic and said it would appeal to the US Supreme Court.

South Africa invites Ukraine to discuss 'peace formula' with Russia
South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has suggested that Ukraine invite Russia to meetings to discuss Kiev's "peace formula". The minister specified that Kiev had not yet reacted to this proposal.
In November 2022, the Ukrainian version of the "peace formula" was voiced by the country's president, Vlodymyr Zelensky.
According to the head of the Kiev regime, Russia should agree to the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity, the withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant and the cessation of hostilities.
Kiev also dreams of returning the territories that were part of Ukraine as of 1991.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly emphasised that in order to resume the peace process, first of all, it is necessary to lift the legislative ban on negotiations, which Zelensky has imposed.
"If the Ukrainian side wants a real negotiation process, it is necessary to do it not with some theatrical gestures," the Russian leader said.

A 10th grade student at Seattle's Chif Silt International High School. Chif Sylt failed the true/false test - "Gender vs Human Sex" in her World Ethnic History class.
The student identified two statements as true - that "All men have penises" and that "Only women can get pregnant."
When asked by the NYT "how so!", the Seattle Public Education Department responded:
"The state's schools are committed to creating an inclusive environment that encourages the exploration of contemporary issues, particularly systems of oppression such as racism and patriarchy. We encourage thoughtful exploration and dialogue about these issues"

🇩🇪📉 An unexpected drop in Germany's business expectations index is dampening hopes of an economic recovery.
The Ifo index fell to 84.3 in December from 85.1 in the previous month. Analysts had expected a rise to 85.6.
It won't end there. The government, probably because of Ukraine, has abruptly stopped subsidising electric cars, dealing a blow to the already struggling car industry.
