⚡Ukrainian intelligence seems to believe that Russia will launch two Oreshnik IRBMs some time in the next 5 days. It is not known if these will target areas in Ukraine or if they will just be test launches. There is mention of Kyiv being a target, but as of now this is very unconfirmed. |

⚡Trump’s Air Force One turned back to Joint Base Andrews about an hour after takeoff for Switzerland due to a minor electrical issue, the White House said. Cabin lights briefly went out, and the crew returned out of caution. Trump later switched to an Air Force C-32 and continued to the World Economic Forum in Davos.

WriterrNg:With all these weapons coming in, what are China and Russia doing openly to send a message and deter the west? Not covertly. I don't like reactions rather actions. Of what point is supporting a country after it has been destabilized. The aim and objective is not to destroy it in the first place, not supporting after destroying. Building cities back cost a lot of money, especially money that is not there in the first place due to excruciating sanctions. It cost a lot of lives, money, rebuilding etc. So the aim should be deterrence and not fighting back. Within Trump's first year, he has fought so many wars than any other president I know yet always crying for Nobel peace price. The US just blasted of cutting off China from Venezuela oil, I want to believe their long term plan is to cut off China from Iran oil too. It is never about the mullahs nor their regime been anti-US, it is a crafty way of isolating China and Russia before coming to them. I guess reason China has been sending more than 16 cargo planes of weapons to iran of recent. Nobody likes their country to be destroyed. It is a big turn off. The main aim should be deterrence. |

⚡Russia's Medvedev: Trump wants to paint the island on world maps in stars-and-stripes colors. He wants to remain in history forever. And at the same time, to become like the President of Russia. That, however, is impossible. In the course of the special military operation and as a result of referendums, Russia reclaimed precisely its own lands—territories that had been part of it for centuries—together with its own people. Greenland is something entirely different. It has never been directly connected to the United States, although the latter has tried several times to buy it.

⚡Spain’s MEP Irene Montero went nuclear in the European Parliament, accusing Europe of humiliating itself before Donald Trump: Do you still believe that by helping the United States to commit its crimes, we will be safe? Bombing and sanctioning Iran will not bring freedom to women. It will bring oil to Trump. The policy of appeasement did not prevent the war; it only made the monster bigger. Trump is the Hitler of the 21st century. We must isolate the United States and leave NATO now, not help them bomb Iran. Have some dignity.
