⚔U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent:

What happened after World War II?

It was not a straight line. Konrad Adenauer did not always agree with the U.S. Presidents. Charles de Gaulle certainly did not agree with the U.S. positions.

But that did not mean we were not strong allies against the Soviet Union. Did it?

⚔Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov:

West's world order rules don't exist anymore; it is the law of the strongest.

⚔China has confirmed it received an invitation to join the ā€œBoard of Peace.ā€

⚔Trump:

Shockingly, our ā€œbrilliantā€ NATO Ally, the United Kingdom, is currently planning to give away the Island of Diego Garcia, the site of a vital U.S. Military Base, to Mauritius, and to do so FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. There is no doubt that China and Russia have noticed this act of total weakness.

These are International Powers who only recognize STRENGTH, which is why the United States of America, under my leadership, is now, after only one year, respected like never before.

The UK giving away extremely important land is an act of GREAT STUPIDITY, and is another in a very long line of National Security reasons why Greenland has to be acquired. Denmark and its European Allies have to DO THE RIGHT THING.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

⚔Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov:

If you read the statements from Kallas, von der Leyen, Macron, Starmer, Rutte, everyone.

They are seriously preparing for a war with Russia. They are not hiding that fact.

⚔Night strike reported near Odessa as water outages hit Kiev.

Ukrainian authorities reported a nighttime strike on an energy infrastructure facility near Odessa, according to official statements.

Meanwhile, a deputy of the Kherson regional Duma, Igor Cherniy, said that the capture of Pavlovka in the Zaporozhye region allowed Russian forces to move into the rear of Ukrainian positions near Orekhov and expand a foothold for a potential advance toward Zaporozhye.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Russian forces destroyed a Ukrainian UAV command post in the Sumy region using a Geran drone.

In Kiev, city water utility services reported that shelling left the Desnyansky, Darnitsky, and Dneprovsky districts without water supply. Water pressure was reduced in Troeshchina, as well as in the Shevchenkovsky, Solomensky, and Goloseevsky districts. In the Pechersky district, water supply was available only in certain areas.

⚔Czech Prime Minister Andrej BabiŔ:

I bought a globe so I could see exactly where Greenland is.

The Oreshnik would fly from Russia to the White House in 26 minutes, and the eleventh minute would be exactly over Greenland.

So Donald Trump’s arguments about China and Russia are relevant

Always citing China and Russia as excuse for his nonsense. It is president Putin I even blame for giving audience to this bffon.

Russia still has many questions regarding the ā€œBoard of Peace.ā€

Lawag3:
Then how you remember it isn't reality.

Because the reality is Israel used it's military might to bring Hamas to agree to release all the hostages without having to redraw from Gaza.
Between I and you (a religious fanatics) who is more likely to be in reality.
I remember a year plus without getting a single hostage except the one idf killed themselves. Do you know how many countries mediated before few hostages were released. If they used military as you said, why did they exchange hostages for Palestinians prisoners?
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by seunny4lif(m): 12:33pm On Jan 20
A MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED! The EU and UK have FINALLY discovered international law!
International law says you can’t kidnap the leaders of other countries.
International law says Israelis cannot destroy Gaza and kill the people there.
International law says you can’t steal entire ships full of oil.
International law says you can’t separate Taiwan from Mainland China.
International law says you can’t organize regime change operations in other countries.
International law says a country can’t impose unilateral sanctions on anyone.
International law says you can’t manipulate proxy wars into being.
International law says you cannot use economic coercion for political advantage.
International law says you cannot breach other countries’ sovereign territorial rights.
The EU and UK have turned a blind eye to all the above, year after year. Finally, they are having their Damascus Road experience.
Welcome to the world, friends.

A religious fanatic? Anyway you're entitled to your opinion.

Without getting a single hostages?


Israeli rescued some hostages leading Hamas to declare that they will kill the hostages if they suspected the IDF was nearby. True or false.


Hamas said they'll will not release All the hostages till Israel withdraws from Gaza completely. True or false.

Israel has gotten all it's hostages without withdrawing from Gaza .

Let's just pretend that the deal Hamas agreed to doesn't favor Israel.

It's like saying if Russia is truly winning the war in Ukraine why did it exchange prisoners of war with Ukraine why did it not just demand them outright.

Because that's how international politics work the other doesn't leave a negotiated deal completely empty handed.

Mind you Israel reserves the full right to restart the war is Hamas doesn't disarm.

Hope you've been educated.

⚔Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng at Davos:

China never seeks a trade surplus.

On top of being the world’s factory, China hopes to become the world’s market.

⚔Ursula von der Leyen compares the shock of de-linking the U.S. dollar from gold and the new "global order" it created as a lesson "that geopolitical shocks can and must serve as an opportunity... the seismic change we are going through today is an opportunity."

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 1:23pm On Jan 20
⚔Zelensky:

Today Ukraine used €80 million worth of air defense missiles.

It is difficult to find both these missiles and the money for them.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 1:25pm On Jan 20
⚔Ursula von der Leyen:

Nostalgia will not bring back the old order, and hoping things will revert will not fix our structural dependencies.

If this change is permanent, then Europe must change permanently too.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 1:25pm On Jan 20
⚔California Gov. Gavin Newsom, top 2028 Democratic contender, on Trump and Europe:

This guy is playing people for fools. This isn't diplomacy, it's stupidity.

He’s a T-Rex: you either meet him head-on or he devours you, one way or the other.

They need to stand tall, stand firm, and stand united.

You’re still playing by a rulebook that no longer applies.

He’s unmoored. This is the law of the jungle — the rule of raw power.

⚔Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever on Trump:

We must respond to this; there’s no point in being soft anymore.

If someone says, ā€œI want to take NATO territory from you, or else I’ll start a trade war,ā€ then we will start a trade war.

⚔Ursula von der Leyen says EU is "on the cusp" of making "the mother of all deals," with India.

"Europe will always choose the world, and the world is ready to choose Europe."

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 1:28pm On Jan 20
⚔Zelensky:

Russia is our enemy. Belarus is their ally.

To be frank, for now, it is very difficult for me to imagine how we and Russia could be together in any council.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 1:29pm On Jan 20
⚔Ursula von der Leyen:

Right after Davos, I will travel to India.

We are on the cusp of a historic trade agreement—some call it the ā€œmother of all deals.ā€


Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 1:30pm On Jan 20
⚔Ursula von der Leyen:

This agreement (EU-Mercosur) sends a powerful message to the world:

That we are choosing fair trade over tariffs, partnership over isolation, sustainability over exploitation.

And that we are serious about diversifying our supply chains.


Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 1:30pm On Jan 20
⚔Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever on Trump:

The pressure on allies was previously understandable, since defense spending was too low.

But threatening NATO allies with military intervention is unheard of—and signals we are nearing a breaking point.

⚔Ursula von der Leyen:

We will not stop in Latin America.

Last year we reached new agreements with Mexico, Indonesia, and Switzerland.

We are working on a new free trade agreement with Australia.

We are also advancing with the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, the UAE, and more.

⚔As a result of today's combined Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine, around 46% of Kyiv is without heating. Parts of western Kyiv are also without water supply, however this is expected to be restored today.

The CHP-4 and CHP-6 Combined Heat and Power Plants had already suffered significant damage from previous attacks. The 4 missiles which impacted them today have had more severe consequences because of this.
