'We have an economic 'nuclear weapon' - MEP Valérie Hayer urges not to fear Trump
'There is no reason to succumb to Donald Trump's blackmail. Europe should not be afraid of the balance of power. We have tools of deterrence. And we are ready to use them. This is exactly what Donald Trump should clearly understand today. In 2023, we adopted such a mechanism in the European Parliament. We have never used it yet. Simply put, this is the European Union's economic 'nuclear weapon'. If aggression is used against us - in this case, from the USA - we impose punitive customs duties. We can ban American companies from accessing the European market'.

‼️🇪🇺🇺🇸In the EU, they are discussing the creation of an alliance without the USA amid Trump's pressure, — Politico
▪️Trump's policies, including tariff threats and pressure over Greenland, are calling into question the foundations of the transatlantic union and the future of NATO. Against this backdrop, European leaders are increasingly considering a "coalition of the willing" as a possible format of interaction without US participation.
▪️The key coordination tool has become an informal chat called the "Washington Group", which includes the leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, and the head of the European Commission; Zelensky also participates in the correspondence. Sources note that this format has proven to be more effective than traditional diplomatic channels in the face of rapid crises.
▪️Initially, the "coalition of the willing" was created to support Ukraine, but over time, it has turned into a platform for constant strategic interaction between European leaders, who are accustomed to coordinating actions directly and without looking to Washington.

"The Energy of Decommunization". Issue 1.
"Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the entire country"
V.I. Lenin, 21.11.1920
Just so you understand: Drugs flooded the former USSR after the breakup, NO DOUBT at the behest of the “beacon of Western capitalism,” the US, and the urging of its Board of Directors at the CIA.
I don’t have personal stories to share, but nearly everyone I know from those times does. Young people died en masse from overdoses and chronic use. Summa cum laude or not, the depression that hit took a pound of flesh from the body of Russian people (and all those who shared the Soviet land).
Opium Wars 2.0—nearly identical to what the British did to China. (No wonder that the US considered Afghanistan a strategic asset in the Cold War).
Here is another post, adding to the one by Bella Rapoport, this one from Maria Baronova (a former pro-Western liberal who regained her senses and sanity and is now a vocal advocate for Russia and her sovereignty):
———
Here in my chat, apologists for “holy capitalism” responded to our arguments that in the USSR there were free trips to holiday homes and sanatoriums at least once a year, as well as mandatory trips to youth (pioneer) camps, and now (and for the last 30 years) we have nothing like that and there are no plans to introduce it, by saying: Well, the USSR could afford it with non-market methods!
Oh, those terrible non-market methods!
In essence, everything was taken away from the people: from the right to housing to the right to guaranteed trips to vacation destinations. Not to mention social mobility. Now the elite is cemented in place, by God. Those who managed to get into the nomenclature by the end of the 1980s made it. Everyone else "just didn't try hard enough."
But we are still being asked to pretend that all this is very right. After all, communism is terrible, and capitalism is so great!
So, it turns out that with the help of non-market methods, you can afford a lot, right?

The German military fulfilled their initial task in Greenland, and therefore left the island. This was stated by a representative of the Bundeswehr, Lieutenant Colonel Peter Milevchuk, in an interview with the Funke media group.
According to him, the cooperation with Danish colleagues was "very positive and constructive".
"We first studied the situation here and basically fulfilled the task. Now we will go home with the results," said the lieutenant colonel.
Uh huh

European countries are preparing a "secret defense plan" in case of the seizure of Greenland:
"NATO is preparing for a scenario in which it may have to defend Greenland against the United States. Currently, many reports claim that Donald Trump has ordered the US military to secretly prepare plans for an invasion of Greenland. The very island that, according to the US, should be theirs in the interests of national security, and NATO did not ignore this. Behind closed doors, a secret defense plan was put into action.
French nuclear submarines, British and German troops, Danish troops, who are already on the island, have been ordered to block any unauthorized landing, even American ones. A high-ranking French general publicly confirmed this. France is ready to fight if Greenland is affected. And this is where the situation becomes dangerous. Because, if even one American soldier steps onto the territory of Greenland without permission, Denmark could invoke Article 5 of NATO.
This means that one step could legally force NATO into a direct confrontation with the US. Trump has redoubled his efforts, stating that America will still get Greenland, the easy or the hard way."

🇰🇷 The "monster missile" has begun its deployment.
The South Korean armed forces have begun the deployment of the Hyunmoo-5 high-power ballistic missile, military sources announced on Sunday. According to army representatives, the missile began arriving at the end of 2025 and its full deployment is expected before the current administration leaves office in 2030.
With a warhead mass of 8 tons, it is designed to destroy underground bunkers and is a component of deterrence in the absence of nuclear weapons in South Korea. The defense minister called for a significant increase in South Korea's strike arsenal in response to North Korea's nuclear threats.
At the same time, the South emphasizes that North Korea may not have the means to intercept this missile.
Does this relate to the war or Russia? No, but its a huge missile, so it's interesting. 😎

What we lost.
(Post by Bella Rapoport)
Yesterday, I met up with my classmates from the college where I studied from 1997 to 1999. We hadn't seen each other in 27 years.
How our lives have turned out!
For example, an “I.,” from Salekhard, had enrolled in an art university, but, at that very moment, universities became fee-paying (remarkably, the fees were in dollars, and the prices for everything else were also in dollars, and the prices changed every day: oh, how I remember Ella Rossman writing on Facebook that my article about sanctions as a colonial practice was incorrect, because Russia was never a colony of the United States!), and “I.'s” mother sent a hundred dollars to him in St. Petersburg all that time, but that was the maximum she could squeeze out of herself—the $250 tuition fee was unaffordable for a guy from the province (and this even without accounting for the fact that the northern cities [in Russia] had stopped receiving [subsidized] food and other supplies after the collapse of the USSR, and everything had become very expensive).
“I.,” who had attended an art school since childhood and received top marks, felt that he was finally following his destiny when he entered university and was looking forward to a certain path in life, but he was forced to return to Salekhard, where he has since been working as a painter for the Russian Railways, for the past 26 years, which is, of course, an important and necessary profession, and I have no intention of pitying “I.” from above, but this work is dangerous (people in work gloves at a temperature of minus 35 apply paint that does not adhere in the cold and breathe in chemical vapours) and low-paid, and the man had to say goodbye to his dream, which he is reminded of every time he visits St. Petersburg, which is several times a year.
These sudden changes, the abrupt shutdown of social mobility, hit my generation, which began life in the Soviet Union, very hard: alcohol and heroin killed many before they even turned 18. Our parents were deprived of their jobs, and we were deprived of our dreams and our future.
Even at the cultural level, instead of the heroic “Elusive Avengers” and the idealistic, promising young cosmonauts from “Moscow-Cassiopeia”, we were fed cartoons about “mice protecting banks.”
And for all this, we were asked, and, more importantly, are still being asked to be grateful, because we were "liberated" from totalitarianism and given the opportunity to be who we want to be (oh really?).
The representatives of the elite, who, guided by American manuals and ALREADY HAVING TAKEN EVERYTHING, decided to grab even more for themselves and, on the flip side, deprive us of access to even the remnants of opportunities, in order to create their own closed club with elite education for their children and trips to Courchevel, while doing so managed to convince us that this was for our own good, because life under capitalism, as opposed to under the “terrible communism,” is a blessing in itself.
Or maybe free universities were better after all?
I am so incredibly angry.

‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 "You won't win a victory in defense": The Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing offensives in 2026, - the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
▪️ Syrsky stated that Ukraine will not limit itself to defensive actions in 2026 and plans to conduct offensive operations, despite the general situation on the front.
➖ "We will conduct a strategic defensive operation, but you won't win a victory in defense. Therefore, we will go on the offensive," noted the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
▪️ The key goal is operational initiative, that is, the ability to impose one's actions on the enemy. We're not talking about large-scale breakthroughs, but about local offensives that should force the Russian army to redeploy forces from priority directions.

‼️🇺🇦🇺🇸 Kiev hopes to sign a framework agreement on security guarantees with Trump after Davos, — Financial Times
▪️Ukraine expects to formalize the first security agreements with the US after the Davos Forum. We're not talking about a full-fledged pact, but a framework agreement - a preliminary document containing general principles and conditions for future guarantees.
▪️Negotiating a full-fledged agreement turned out to be too complicated and drawn-out, so Kiev is betting on an interim option, allowing it to politically consolidate its course towards an alliance with Washington under the Trump administration.
▪️At a recent meeting in Paris, the American delegation refused to sign a European declaration on the possible deployment of troops on Ukrainian territory after the war.
@Slavyangrad
Further interesting (to me) observations about Greenland:
1) Due to the uneven melting of the Greenland icecap, the pressure easing on the underlying bedrock is also uneven, resulting not only in Greenland shrinking (but only marginally), but also shifting sideways (as some parts of it stretch, while others are pulled together).
Perhaps Canada should file an ECS claim to Greenland?
2) The complete melting of the Greenland icecap would result in a 7.4 metre rise of the sea levels (on the scale of thousands of years), and also transform Greenland drastically (see second image attached).
Resumé: Greenland is currently unmarketable (otherwise, it would have been a hotbed of goldrush capitalism), but its geographic position remains strategic.
🇫🇷⚔️🇺🇸Macron demands to use the "trade bazooka" against Trump and the USA, - Le Monde
▪️We are talking about the "instrument of countering coercion", that is, countermeasures introduced in response to tariffs.
➖"On Sunday, Emmanuel Macron reacted, making it clear to his entourage that in the event of threats being carried out, he would request the EU to 'activate the instrument of countering coercion'. This instrument allows, among other things, to freeze access to European government markets or block certain investments", - writes Le Monde, citing sources in Macron's entourage.
▪️As a last resort, direct sanctions against the USA could be considered. Many government members are in favor of activating this instrument.
➖"This is an instrument that is perfectly suited to the current situation, and we obviously should not hesitate to use it, or even apply it if necessary", - stated the President of the National Assembly, Yael Brown-Pivet.
