Everyone says that the rules-based international order is dead, so long live realism. Recently, the Council on Geostrategy published a report titled Britain’s World: The Strategy of Security in Twelve Geopolitical Maps (link below)⬇️

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis

The main agenda point for Davos was Ukraine. Trump has distracted with Greenland. Europe do NOT let this happen ⬇️

Russian propaganda claimed a Ukrainian drone caused the Adygea blast, despite videos proving it was a misfired Russian air-defense missile. Russian state television is using the strike to excuse new attacks on Ukraine. #Russia

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.

are none left, a process that will take several years. Last year a brigade was removed from Romania without consulting anyone and aid was cut to the Baltic states.

US TO WITHDRAW FROM NATO CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE NATO CoE are key training and educational institutions designed to improve and enhance military capabilities through training and sharing techniques and knowledge. The US plans to reduce personnel over time as they are rotated or retire until there

Two DOGE members working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with a group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls" www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

The Catholic archbishop of the U.S. military services said it “would be morally acceptable to disobey” orders if troops considered them against their conscience.

He also says that during a recent meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, the US representatives said they didn’t want to take sides on the Russia-Ukraine war. from live coverage of Davos in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The Prime Minister of Belgium speaks:

🇺🇦 Our team continues to prepare articles for you about prisoners of war. ❗️We presented documented examples of war crimes committed by Russia against Ukrainian prisoners in Nov-Dec 2025. #NoPeaceWithoutJustice 1. theukrainianreview.info/no-peace-wit... 2. theukrainianreview.info/who-can-real...

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

China’s Foreign Ministry told the US to stop using the “China threat” as justification for its actions over Greenland, warning against destabilizing the Arctic. #Greenland

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

🇩🇰🇺🇸 More than 280,000 Danes have signed a petition to buy California from the US. The petition promises to bring the Danish concept of “hygge” to Hollywood, bike paths to Beverly Hills, and organic Danish sandwiches “smorrebrod” to every corner. The petition was created almost a year ago.

❗️🇺🇦 Russia is trying to harm Ukrainian nuclear power plants — Kyiv has data on facilities that the enemy was scouting. Strikes on Naftogaz facilities were also recorded during the week, — Zelensky.

❗️🇺🇦 Ukraine will not give Donbas to Putin: I fully support Zelensky. This is a land that is watered with the blood of our soldiers and citizens, — Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi.

Putin's intensified campaign against civilian infrastructure in Ukraine was directly aided by the actions of the US government. Not only did Trump's false pretense of striving for peace buy Putin time, but Trump has also deliberately weakened Ukraine in air defense during this time.

1-8 We're getting very close to what Anders describes. Normal, civilised US citizens need to understand it's their system that is sick, not just one man. In pretty much every other democracy I can think of, doing a January 6 number would have meant imprisonment and being barred from public office.

Brutal

Just sent out my free weekend update. The joint Trump-Putin (or US-Russian) campaign to torment Ukrainians by depriving them of power and heat, reached a crescendo. It cannot be denied that Trump/USA has made the situation worse. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

🇪🇸🇺🇦 Spanish PM Sanchez: "A US invasion of Greenland would make Putin the happiest man in the world. Why? Because it would legitimize his invasion of Ukraine. If the US were to use force in Greenland, it would be a fatal blow to NATO. Putin would have double reason to rejoice."

🙏🇺🇦 The EU, the US, the UK, and other partners can apply targeted sanctions against specific perpetrators and commanders. In addition, national courts in certain countries can invoke the principle of universal jurisdiction. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/who-can-real...

Yesterday, Trump even threatened to economically sanction states (that means you, Europe) who do not support the US effort to take control of Greenland…

We are a Nato member as is Greenland. We can and we will defend Greenland.

The Times reports, citing British intelligence, that Ukrainian troops killed 27 times more Russians than they lost in battles for Kupyiansk. Around 200 Russian soldiers were surrounded before Christmas, with total Russian losses in the thousands. #UkraineWar

French-Ukrainian singer Paul Manandise: "Leaders of Europe,I’m addressing you from Kyiv.At the same time,I’m addressing you from the depths of my European heart What Putin is doing isn’t a 'military' operation. It’s a war of terror,a policy of annihilation.He wants to break a people-the Ukrainians"

Polish PM Tusk: “It is Russia who rejected the peace plan prepared by the US, not Zelensky. The only Russian response was more missile attacks on Ukrainian cities. That’s why the only solution is to increase pressure on Russia. And you all know it.”

He changed sides again. Trump tells Reuters that Zelensky, not Putin, is holding up a Ukraine peace deal. He claims Putin is ready to end the war, while Kyiv is “having a hard time getting there.” Talks reportedly focus on Ukraine giving up Donbas.

It’s like they are following every part of the authoritarian playbook to the letter. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

The authorities of Turkmenistan report that an Iranian bulk carrier sunk in the Caspian Sea. 14 crew members were rescued. The ship came from Iran and was on course to the port of Astrakhan, Russia.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment

Russian State Duma MP Gurulev on the critical state of Russia’s budget&emergency housing: "Today,the budget simply can’t cope.We have a massive budget deficit.They say everything is fine, that revenues are strong. But…It becomes absolutely clear that there is simply not enough money"

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear. snyder.substack.com/p/maduro-in-...

Serhii Smoliak, a 56-year-old medic, was killed by Russia in #Kyiv last night. Russia launched a second attack on the same building just as medics arrived to help the victims of the first attack. Deepest condolences. Four more medics were injured by the strike.

One of the most massive Russian attacks on Kyiv. Russia carried out continuous strikes overnight using ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones, deliberately targeting civilian and critical infrastructure. 40 sites were damaged in Kyiv, including 20 residential buildings.
