⚡Zelensky:

Putin is not preparing for negotiations at all, but for the continuation of the war: they are increasing their army by more than 100 thousand soldiers.

⚡CNN confused Obama with the terrorist bin Laden on live air, the Daily Mail has noted.

The presenter was showing a segment about the transfer of illegal immigrants to the prison at Guantanamo Bay. When he raised the issue of the treatment of Osama bin Laden associate Abu Zubaydah, the screen showed a text with the criminal's name changed to "Obama bin Laden associate Abu Zubaydah."

The TV channel did not comment on the confusion between the name of the organizer of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the name of the former US president. However, the "typo" caused a strong reaction from users on social networks, some even suggested that the editors made the mistake intentionally.

⚡China has unveiled a new air-to-air hypersonic missile with an estimated range exceeding 1000 kilometers, significantly surpassing its current PL-17 missile with a range of 350-400 kilometers.

This hypersonic missile, currently undergoing final heat-resistance testing, boasts speeds exceeding Mach 5, making it exceptionally difficult to intercept with existing defense systems.

The missile's extended range poses a substantial threat to a wide array of airborne targets, including transport planes, refueling aircraft, bombers, and early-warning systems, potentially neutralizing them before they can react.

And here we were, wondering why Russia wasn't trying to take Odessa.

Turns out it's a barren land... no resources.

But holds historical significance to Russia.

Kingsnairaland:
Trump is still sending weapons to Ukraine

Trump may end up like Biden
And Russia will keep taking more lands. Lands with abundant resources.

The decision was made long ago, it doesn't matter what any foreign president says or does.

Trump will end up even worse, he'll bring humiliation to the US on the world stage. He'll reduce them to nothing.... a circus.

Number one reason why I wanted him to win the election.

The so called new members of NATO (Sweden & Finland) have a total population of 15 million people.

Estonia = 1.3 million people
Latvia = 1.8 million
Lithuania = 2.8 million

Total = 6 million

+ Finland & Sweden = 21 million people

Ukraine population = 40 million

You see why Ukraine is a far bigger threat than the Baltic rats will ever be. It's not even close.

Plus Ukraine holds the biggest territory in all of them. So technically Russia hasn't lost any country of significance.


Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan are still allies with Russia. These countries are by far larger in size and more significant to Russia than a bunch of Chihuahuas.

The former USSR is still intact. At least the most significant part of it. Both land and population wise.

They have more rare earth metals and resources than the so called new members of NATO.

Their population is also larger than the Baltic states & Finland, Sweden combined.

I'm so glad Russia acted. Ukraine would have been a mighty problem for Russia, had they joined NATO and still in control of Crimea.

After Ukraine the only remaining headache for Russia is poland. They have a big population.
Oh and I forgot to add that 70% of Ukraine's resources is now in Russia's control.

A big win if you ask me.

Here's a video of Zelensky confirming this:

⚡USAID has pushed nearly half a billion dollars ($472.6m) through a secretive US government financed NGO, "Internews Network" (IN), which has “worked with” 4,291 media outlets, producing in one year 4,799 hours of broadcasts reaching up to 778 million people and "training” over 9000 journalists (2023 figures). IN has also supported social media censorship initiatives.

The operation claims “offices” in over 30 countries, including main offices in US, London, Paris and regional HQs in Kiev, Bangkok and Nairobi. It is headed up by Jeanne Bourgault, who pays herself $451k a year.

Bourgault worked out of the US embassy in Moscow during the early 1990s, where she was in charge of a $250m budget, and in other revolts or conflicts at critical times, before formally rotating out of six years at USAID to IN.

TRUMP LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION INTO CALIFORNIA’S HIGH-SPEED RAIL DISASTER

California’s $128 billion bullet train boondoggle has burned through $13.6 billion - and not a single mile of track has been laid.
Trump calls it “the worst managed project in U.S history” and vows to investigate the massive cost overruns and mismanagement.
“You could give every passenger a limousine for life and still have money left over,” Trump blasted.

Meanwhile, Gov. Newsom now claims the project is on track - despite calling it "too expensive and unrealistic" just years ago.

I think Nigerian government is learning from this people
The United States is the most corrupt nation on earth.

They've just deviced some fancy terms for their corruption such as: Lobbying = Bribing

We have to change the trajectory of the war (which is ongoing, and so far as we know, the front line is moving in the wrong direction). It’s going [west]wards.

- NATO Secretary General, Mark Rutte
Somehow I prefer this Rutte guy to Stoltenberg.

Stoltenberg was Satan incarnate.

Him, Blinken, Nuland, Mark Miley, Budanov, Samantha Powers, Duda of Poland, Kaja Kallas, Baerbock.... I don't know who I hate more.

⚡Canada's outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has told a group of business leaders he believes President Donald Trump might be serious about annexing his country.

Trudeau suggested Trump has floated the idea of taking over Canada and making it the "51st state" because he wants to access the country's critical minerals.

"Mr Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing," the prime minister said.

His comments were made behind closed doors at a Canada-US Economic Summit in Toronto, but were captured in part by a microphone and were reported on by several Canadian media outlets.

⚡Russia is developing the Geo-IK-3 space geodesy system.

The Russian Armed Forces’ topographic service is working on the technical concept for this next-generation system.

Geo-IK-3 could consist of five satellites: two for altimetry, two for gravimetry, and one for gradiometry.

Meanwhile, upgrades to the existing Geo-IK-2 ground complex are nearing completion, enhancing high-precision geodetic measurements.

The service is also exploring resilient backup navigation systems to boost GLONASS capabilities and ensure greater resistance to interference.

⚡Maria Zakharova:

Zelensky announced he wouldn’t attend Trump’s inauguration because he has “matters to attend to at home.”

Burst pipes, perhaps?

In 2024 alone, the overdue leader visited more than 35 countries, and “domestic matters” didn’t seem to bother him. The new year has just begun, and in the first two weeks, he’s already made begging trips to Germany, Italy, and Poland—again, no interference from home affairs.

What he failed to mention is that he requested to visit Washington three times and was denied, as has now come to light.
