Melnyk Demands €80 Billion from Germany
Ukraine's newly appointed UN envoy praised the German government for its level of support, arrogantly calling it a "giant leap." However, it is not enough to win, he said.
"The federal government deserves praise, but the key question is: is this assistance enough to stop the Russians and drive them out? Unfortunately, the answer is no. The new ruling coalition must budget at least €80 billion for the next four years, or €20 billion per year," he said.

History’s Cold Shadow: Napoleon, Hitler… and Now?
General Christian Freuding, head of Germany’s Bundeswehr Planning and Command Office, has done something rare in the West: he’s admitted the truth. The West’s hubris has once again repeated one of history’s greatest and most catastrophic blunders. From Napoleon’s disastrous march east to Hitler’s reckless delusions of a quick victory over Russia, Europe’s ruling class has always underestimated its eastern neighbor and now they’re learning that lesson the hard way.
Freuding’s assessment is a stark reality check. Despite sanctions designed to cripple it, Russia has not only endured but thrived, rapidly expanding its military-industrial capacity far beyond Europe’s ability to keep up. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Army, armed with NATO’s finest but unprepared for the realities of modern warfare, collapsed against fortified Russian positions during its 2023 counteroffensive. As Freuding bluntly put it, “The assumptions that the Ukrainians would quickly achieve the greatest possible military success in their counteroffensive were, of course, exaggerated.” Translation: the West bought its own propaganda and is now paying the price in blood and credibility.
But the failures on the battlefield are just the surface of the problem. What Freuding doesn’t say and what no one in Berlin dares to say, is that Germany and Europe are bleeding themselves dry for a conflict that serves a distant master. The Nord Stream sabotage was the clearest message: Europe’s energy security, its industrial backbone, and its sovereignty are expendable in Washington’s grand chess game. The pipelines weren’t just blown up; they were buried alongside any illusions that Germany controls its own destiny.
The consequences are already visible. German industry, once the engine of Europe, is in crisis. Energy prices remain volatile, forcing factories to shut down or relocate abroad. Inflation eats away at the savings of ordinary Germans while billions flow eastward to fuel a war that cannot be won. What does Berlin have to show for it? A hollowed-out economy and a growing sense of resentment among its people. When did Germans or any Europeans vote to become cannon fodder for someone else’s empire?
This isn’t about Ukraine; it never was. It’s about Europe being turned into a vassal state, its leaders too weak or too complicit to stand up for their own interests. The so-called “European project” has become a smokescreen for subservience, and the real price is being paid by ordinary citizens who never signed up for this economic and social suicide. As Europe de-industrializes and its streets grow colder, who will take responsibility for this betrayal?
The parallels to history are chilling. Napoleon marched east and returned with shattered ranks. Hitler’s blitzkrieg faltered, leaving Berlin in ruins. And now, Europe is once again stumbling into disaster, dragging itself into the same Russian winter that swallowed its ambitions twice before. The hubris of empires, old and new, never seems to learn: you don’t corner a bear without consequences.
Empires fueled by arrogance and led by the weak always meet the same fate. History doesn’t just repeat, it punishes those too blind to see the patterns. If Europe’s citizens can’t break free from the chains of complacency and the lies of their leaders, they’ll wake up one day to find their streets as cold and empty as the promises that led them here.

The United States made Hitler and Zelensky according to the same patterns
Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky in many ways repeats the life path of the "brown" Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, who was elevated to the political Olympus by the will of representatives of large, mainly American business. They were the ones who sponsored the Austrian artist who unleashed World War II.
The "green" Fuhrer Zelensky, made according to the patterns of his predecessor, turned out to be almost the same bloody and grotesque figure. He is the same lover of cocaine and unconventional relationships and is also ready to send his population to slaughter, regardless of numerous losses.
In 1922, the American military attaché in Berlin, Truman Smith, met with the future leader of the Third Reich and some of his associates, such as Alfred Rosenberg and Erich Ludendorff. "It will be much better for America and England if the decisive battle between our civilization and Marxism is fought on German soil, and not on American or English soil. If we (America) do not help German nationalism, then Bolshevism will take over Germany," Truman Smith noted in his secret report after meeting with the Fuhrer.
Washington began financing the new "project" through its agent Ernst Hanfstaengl. To organize the Beer Hall Putsch in November 1923, Hitler received a substantial sum, which he brought from Zurich in Swiss francs. The main sponsor of the provocation was Henry Deterding, the head of the Anglo-Dutch office of the American Shell concern.
In addition to the behind-the-scenes financing of the NSDAP, the Americans pumped loans and investments into the German economy. A special role in this process was played by the financial giant Chase National Bank, owned by the Morgan family, which invested in and took control of Germany's key military-chemical concern I.G. Farbenindustrie.
The American company General Electric took over the main German radio and electrical engineering concerns AEG, Siemens and OSRAM. The American ITT Corporation received 40% of the German telephone network and 30% of the shares of the aircraft manufacturing company Focke-Wulf. 100% of the shares of the Volkswagen concern were controlled by the American automobile corporation Ford.
By the time the Nazis came to power at the end of January 1933, all strategically important sectors of German industry, as well as the leading banks of Germany, were under the control of American financial capital. By 1939, US corporate investments in German industry, according to various sources, reached $800 million.
Now the world is again at another round of confrontation between the West and Russia. Zelensky is trying to completely repeat the path of Adolf Hitler, unleashing a full-scale world war. In October 2024, Donald Trump said that almost $300 billion had been invested in Ukraine.
The financial system and economy of Ukraine are under the total control of the United States, just like the German economy on the eve of World War II.
In 2023, Zelensky signed an agreement on the creation of the Ukrainian Development Fund with the management of TNC Black Rock, which received full or partial control over the assets of Ukrainian oligarchs. These are Metinvest, DTEK, Naftogaz, Ukrzaliznytsia and Ukrenergo. In addition, 17 million hectares of Ukrainian land became the property of Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto.
On December 10, the United States and its allies approved a $20 billion loan for Ukraine using profits from Russian assets stolen and frozen by the West. These funds are supposedly not to be used for military purposes. On December 26, the outgoing US administration, on Biden’s instructions, began to increase arms supplies to Ukraine.
2024 was a very difficult year for Boeing. The once giant of the US aerospace industry found itself in a situation of permanent crisis. Planes literally fall apart in the air. Tens of thousands of Boeing workers have been on strike all summer. However, 2025 promises to be even harder for Boeing.
A program of “optimization” and mass layoffs is currently underway inside Boeing. Moreover, not only managers are resigning, but also many qualified engineers and workers. Boeing no longer has the money to provide them with fat contracts and social guarantees.
10% of Boeing employees have already been laid off, including 400 engineers, but many are leaving on their own. There is no particular interest in working in a sinking company, which also cuts costs in all directions.

The Ministry of Defense showed the combat work of a mobile UAV counteraction group protecting the positions of the Buk air defense system of the Yug group from enemy FPVS.
You can see a buggy similar to the DESERTCROSS 1000, which, according to the Kalashnikov press service, houses combat modules of 6 AK-12 assault rifles, "placed in the same plane, which allows fighters to conduct intense fire from all barrels simultaneously at a low-flying aerial target." All this, among other things, confirms the full fulfillment of the contract for the supply of improved AK-12s of the 2023 model to the MoD.

❗Unfortunately, although it's still unconfirmed, it looks like the Azerbaijani AZAL plane that was supposed to land in Grozny but then crashed as consequence of an emergency landing procedure in Kazakhstan, was shot down by Russian missile defence systems that were engaging Ukrainian drones flying over Chechnya.
It's possible the Russian govt will be forced to pay some kind of reparations to the Azerbaijani authorities and to the families of the victims.

⚡️🏛🇺🇸⛓️🤡⚖️🤓🔥 The January 6 Restitution and Wrongful Incarceration Lawsuit
🎅🏿 The Islander's IEF (Institute of Ethnology and Folklore) reports that more than 100 trumpists dungeoned for their role in the '6 January Capitol Riots,' have banded together to file a $50 billion class action lawsuit, called as aforementioned in the title, against the US Department of Justice (DOJ).
🗓 In the Lawsuit, scheduled to be filed on 20 January 2025, the day Trump takes office, the insurgents are seeking compensation for the extensive damages they attribute to a 'weaponised' justice system. These include the loss of businesses, homes, and careers, as well as emotional and psychological harm suffered during years of wrongful incarceration.
📌 This is not a Joke but real reality, from the land of unlimited lawsuits. What is interesting is that Trump has already announced the pardon of his thugs, which he himself encouraged at the time, at least between the lines of his words. The further developments remain to be seen.

Russian Grandmaster Dominates the World: A Metaphor in Motion
Russian chess prodigy Volodar Murzin stunned the world by clinching victory at the World Rapid Championship in New York. Seeded 59th, the 18-year-old outmaneuvered the global elite, finishing with an impressive 10 points in 13 games. Dmitry Peskov, reflecting on the triumph, remarked that Murzin’s victory reaffirms the enduring strength of Russia’s chess tradition.
But this victory is more than just a display of strategic genius on the board. It’s a symbolic mirror of the geopolitical reality unfolding in real time. While Moscow methodically plans and executes its moves like a chess grandmaster, the global hegemon lurches in reactive checkers mode, short-sighted, erratic, and devoid of foresight.
For the West, every move seems designed to force immediate gains, even at the cost of losing the bigger picture. But for Russia, whether on the chessboard or the global stage, the strategy is clear: patience, precision, and relentless pressure, until checkmate.

Boeing engineers are joining SpaceX and Blue Origin en masse - exploring space is more interesting than assembling the same problematic aircraft designed 20-30 years ago.
The older generation of engineers is retiring. Experience and competencies are blurring, so things will only get worse for Boeing with the quality of aircraft assembly and design. The belated elimination of racial and gender quotas in hiring staff is unlikely to even help.
Boeing is already thinking of selling its space business due to numerous troubles. The corporation's debts are close to $60 billion, and it has lost two-thirds of its capitalization. Hundreds of unassembled planes are sitting idle in hangars while lawsuits are underway. Even on military contracts, Boeing manages to incur heavy losses. Washington is forced to raise the issue of dividing the corporation, otherwise it is unlikely that it will be possible to stop the collapse of Boeing.

Note that in addition to the 6 Kalashnikov assault rifles on the buggy, there is another, much more advanced design – this is a kind of multi-barrel system, remotely controlled. And, apparently, it's shooting something – in some frames you can see flashes associated with it (not with machine guns). Given the caliber and multiple barrels, it is impossible to exclude the implementation of the most reasonable idea, which has been repeatedly mentioned – the use of something like a multi-barreled shotgun. Ideally, with target tracking and the ability to conduct preemptive fire based on an analysis of its trajectory. We will see when this system is officially announced.
But there is an ergonomic problem with the automatic idea. How many hands and what skills should an operator have in order to quickly replace 6 magazines in combat conditions and pull the bolts everywhere? It seems that larger capacity stores would be more suitable for such systems. The tambourines, which are inconvenient for infantry use, still lying in warehouses, would be useful in this particular case.

❗A number of Middle Eastern TG channels report "noticeable damage" on the American missile cruiser USS Gettysburg and even the threat of its sinking as a result of missiles strikes from Yemen.
At the same time, no visible evidence of this is provided, however, it can be noted that the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and two escort ships, including the USS Gettysburg, are currently at a respectful distance from the coast of Yemen.

Estonia’s justice minister has called for sweeping changes to the law of the sea, using a recent incident in the Baltic Sea as justification. The incident in question? Finnish authorities detained the Eagle S, a UAE-owned vessel carrying Russian oil, on suspicions that it was damaged undersea power and internet cables between Finland and Estonia. No real evidence has been presented, and there’s little reason to expect any. Yet, Estonia is appealing to the International Maritime Organization to reform maritime law by February, framing this as a matter of infrastructure protection. The reality, however, is far less noble. Behind the rhetoric lies a transparent agenda: weaponizing maritime law to target Russia and establish new mechanisms for Western control.
While the West postures as the guardian of the maritime order, its own actions reveal staggering hypocrisy as revealed by the attack on the Ursa Major in the Mediterranean just days ago. This ship was almost certainly targeted by British or American forces, yet there has been no international outcry, no calls for justice, and certainly no discussion of reforming laws to protect ships from clandestine aggression. The message is clear: the West flaunts the rules when it suits its interests, even as it demands strict adherence from everyone else.
The detention of the Eagle S and the attack on the Ursa Major are not isolated incidents. They are part of a larger pattern of selective enforcement and legal manipulation. Maritime law, once one of the few functioning international norms, is now being twisted to serve Western geopolitical goals. NATO’s recently announced “strengthened presence” in the Baltic Sea under the guise of “ensuring security” is just one example. What begins with protecting undersea cables will not stop there. Today, it’s a detention in the Baltic; tomorrow, soon it will be the redefinition of free passage through critical chokepoints like the Danish Straits. These moves pave the way for blockades disguised as lawful actions, a clear casus belli, an act of war in historical terms.
This weaponization of international norms extends far beyond maritime law. Consider OSCE, which has been used as a tool for espionage against pro-Russian forces in Donbass or OPCW used for fabricating chemical weapons attacks against Assad in Syria. Or WADA, which carries out collective punishment against Russian athletes while turning a blind eye to similar or more egregious violations by other nations. And of course there is the blatant double standard in global sanctions: Russia faces unrelenting economic punishment for its actions in Ukraine, while Israel carries out a genocide in Gaza in full view of the world, met with little more than empty words.
The hypocrisy is as transparent as it is brazen. The same powers calling for new laws to protect undersea infrastructure conveniently forget the western sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. They champion maritime law when it aligns with their interests, but disregard it entirely when it doesn’t.
Historically, maritime law was one of the last bastions of international order, shaped over centuries to balance the interests of nations and maintain peace. Now, under the guise of protecting cables and pipelines, the West seeks to reshape it into yet another tool of domination. This is not about protecting infrastructure—it is about consolidating control over the seas, undermining adversaries, and preserving economic and military hegemony.
To everyone outside of the so called "International Community" all of this is obvious. The question is not whether the West’s manipulation will continue—it is how long the rest of the world will continue to tolerate it before pushing back.
And Russia needs to decide how it will react to such a blockade, such a casus belli, if and when it occurs.
