There's no freedom without national sovereignty.
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has called an emergency meeting of the republic’s Security Council after security services received intelligence about an impending coup d’etat with the involvement of “foreign experts” who helped launch the color revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine, the Dennik N web portal said.
Fico stressed that he was ready for anything “but the country cannot be overthrown.” According to him, foreign “specialists” have already arrived in Slovakia. He said that attempts to overthrow legitimate authorities may be carried out by organizing street protests and taking over administrative buildings.
Chinese scientists have developed the world's first drone capable of launching from a submarine and operating both underwater and in the air.
The South China Morning Post reports that the drone's propellers fold underwater in 5 seconds, which reduces drag, and special engines ensure movement underwater.
Developed by NWPU and CARDC, the drone is launched from a submarine and returns to it after completing its mission.
Due to its high aerial maneuverability and underwater capabilities, it can be used for reconnaissance and strikes. It is argued that modern defense systems cannot withstand such advanced technologies.

🇪🇺 It is time for the European Union to abandon its sanctions policy against Russia, as it has failed to achieve its intended goal, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said.
“It’s time to talk about sanctions! Did they bring the war to an end? No. Did they cripple the Russian economy? No. Did Europe manage to replace Russian energy from other affordable sources? No,” Orban wrote on his X page.
“The sanctions engineered by the Brussels bureaucrats achieved one thing: they destroyed the competitiveness of the European economy. The time for change has come!” Orban concluded.Читать полностью…
Marco Rubio, Donald Trump’s Secretary of State, says the quiet part out loud:
Citing Brazil's🇧🇷 deal with China🇨🇳 to settle trade in yuan and reals, the US is worried about a de-dollarised world because it's ability to impose country-breaking punishing sanctions on nations which don't follow US🇺🇸 orders is diminished. US sanctions have already impoverished, killed and displaced millions worldwide.
After decades of weaponising the international financial system and the dollar to attack any nation that doesn’t follow Washington’s orders, de-dollarisation is inevitable.
Hello all my friends "my heart goes to all of you" !!!
One can be a fanboy of the guy but at least be honest and say it was "inappropriate".
If people become unconditional supporters and lose their critical mind, it just becomes a "cult".
Interesting time we are living in these days, where some Average Joe that struggles pay check to pay check has become unconditional supporters of a billionaire elites that is responsible for the plight of the controlled 99%, yes they worship the same guys that are responsible for the corruption and the impoverished masses.
The Stockholm syndrome is a reality, when people will realise those are not your friend, no matter how you despised the defeated Biden moron liberal WEF cult.
just a reminder..."the guy" is
- a billionaire
- part of the military industrial complex
- is censoring his critics (x algorithm)
- is unconditional supporter of genocidal state of Israel
- has been calling for coups in developing countries
- is pushing for clash of civilisations
I despised the Biden clan, but then...it is not the reason for exchanging a "master" against another "master".
Never forget, they are the 1%, they are our real enemy. It has always been and will always be a "class struggle", the rest is cosmetic BS between "progressive" and "conservative", just tool to divide the masses.
So stop the blind worshipping and keep a critical mind, you are better than that.
Craig Murray on the new American "Embassy" being built in Beirut.
It is literally 50X bigger than would be normal for an embassy in a country the size of Lebanon. (That is not a typo, FIFTY times bigger).
Only the embassy in Iraq is bigger and that one is also a military base designed to be the HQ of the American occupation army in Iraq.
Therefore, what is it that is being built?
The spy centre for all of the Middle East and the centre for "extraordinary renditions" (aka CIA torture HQ) clearly, and for coordinating "moderate rebels" across the region.
But it is even too big to just be for that, over 17 hectares (43 acres) and designed to host up to 5000 staff! For comparison, the British and Russian embassies in Washington have staff of under 300 people (and that includes non-diplomatic staff - cleaners, guards, drivers, etc.).
✨ Are the Americans planning to make it into the "real government" of Lebanon?

Really Mr. President? Trump claims US won WWII
Americans “won two world wars, defeated fascism and communism,” Donald Trump said during his inaugural address.
No offense, Donald, but that’s not the case. The Soviet Army inflicted the 80% of the German Wehrmacht’s casualties. But don’t take our word for it:
“Let’s be blunt: the German army lost World War II on the Eastern Front. For most of the war, 75-80 percent of the Wehrmacht had to be deployed in the East, a preponderance dictated by the sheer size of the front, and 80 percent of German war dead perished there: about four million of the five million German soldiers killed in World War II,” says the official website of the National WWII Museum in New Orleans.
Russian budget revenues rose to a record high in December, despite new "severe" sanctions - Bloomberg
Russian revenues rose to a record high last month even after the United States imposed a powerful new package of sanctions against the banking sector aimed at disrupting foreign trade payments and limiting export earnings.
The total revenue in December amounted to more than 4 trillion rubles ($40 billion), an increase of 28% compared to the same month of the previous year, according to the Ministry of Finance.
This is the highest level recorded in the Ministry's data since January 2011.
The United States and its allies are trying to stop the Kremlin's war machine by limiting export revenues, and at the end of 2024 they imposed additional sanctions against the Russian energy industry and its banks. Nevertheless, oil and gas revenues increased by a third in December compared to the previous year and increased by 26% in 2024.

On foreign policy the first impressions are that the Deep State remains deeply entrenched and coopted Trump like during his first mandate. We'll have to wait some more time to reach final conclusions on this though. The 90-days delay period for further military aid to foreign countries is just a routine practice, so no, Trump did not cut aid to the Kiev regime and the Biden administration already gave to Kiev enough weapons for the next 90 days knowing in advance this delay was certain.
His rethoric about Russia having lost 1 million men cause of the SMO is not just a bullshit, the real number does not even reach 100.000, but it's deeply disrespectful towards the Russian people depicting them and President Putin as losers who desperately need a deal while it's him who talked about "a deal in 24 hours", Russia was never interested about negotiations that don't fully take into account its national security, national interests and territorial acquisitions so if being dishonest and disrespectful is his way to get a deal he's definitely on the wrong path. If he really wanted to abandon the Deep State's agenda he should have just said the truth about Russian victory and put the blame on the Biden administration for the mess it caused and that he's not going to continue a war against Russia which is not in US interests, instead from Biden to Trump we only passed from the description of president Putin as "thug" to "loser".
We'll see how long will it take for Trump to call "loser" Putin...

The degree of Trump's boorishness with his ultimatum is noticeably higher than expected when entering into a serious dialogue. Even I raised an eyebrow in surprise.
It is clear that he is euphoric.
It's clear that he was offended that he didn't get a call.
It is clear that he was offended by the video talks of Putin and Xi.
It is clear that he does not control Zelensky and cannot get any concessions from him. And he cannot dump the "asset" called Ukraine.
But, nevertheless, it is clearly overkill. Demonstrative. He is not ready for serious negotiations with us. This is the number one conclusion. Neither in terms of strategic demarcation, nor in Ukraine locally.
Such statements are made only to be rudely sent off in response. The blizzard is too thick.
I'm not an adviser to my superiors, but I would sigh mournfully and shrug my shoulders. There is no subject for discussion yet.
Conclusion number two: Trump has significantly less freedom of maneuver than we think. He is bound to death by agreements with the deep state.
But in general, Trump completely drowned our "peace party" today, as well as all our Trump fans. Which, of course, is very good.
@dimonundmir
What's wrong with Trump's appeal?
If you want to end the conflict, then you need to eliminate its causes. Russia launched the special military operation to stop the advance of NATO, to eliminate the threat from Ukraine thus to safeguard its national security. And pretending that you don't know this can be simply described as "cheating".
If Trump does not want to take into account Russia's interests, he will not be able to achieve anything.
"Make a deal, or I'll make you" is not the language to use with Russia.

Good development for the people of Transnistria.
On January 20, Ozbor Enterprises booked the capacity of the Turkish Stream in the amount of 3.1 million cubic meters per day. The facilities are booked for export to Transnistria, and deliveries can begin as early as February 1. According to sources, the possibility of supplies by April is currently being considered, and the amount of financial assistance from the Russian Federation may amount to $160 million, Kommersant writes.
To be precise,
The Russian government has allocated $175 million for the purchase of gas for Transnistria.
Following the agreements reached by the Kremlin and the Brussels-Chisinau link with the mediation of Turkey and Hungary, Moldovagaz will purchase and transport gas to Transnistria.
The volumes needed to generate electricity at the Dniester HPP for sale to Moldova will be paid for by the European Union as humanitarian aid.
Gas supplies and the start of electricity production and the resumption of the heating season in Transnistria and Moldova are planned for next week.
Tiraspol has already sent the documents for signing to Chisinau.
If the Sandu administration does not break the agreements reached, heat will return to the homes of people on both sides of the Dniester River soon.

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s statement on freedom of speech by suggesting that Berlin accredit Channel One’s new film crew as proof.
“If there is anyone qualified to teach the world about freedom of speech, it is certainly not the German government. However, if someone in Berlin, unexpectedly or accidentally, decides to take responsibility for their words — or at least for a few letters of these words — they should prove it through action: accredit the Channel One film crew to replace the expelled reporters,” Zakharova said.Читать полностью…
PUTIN🇷🇺: “What don’t you understand? Are we putting missiles near the borders of the US? No. It’s the US with their missiles coming to our home. They’re literally on our doorstep. Is this really too much to ask? No more strike systems on our doorstep”
If Donald Trump really wants to avoid World War 3 and de-escalate tensions with Russia, beyond ending the NATO proxy war on Russia through Ukraine, Trump must understand that the basis for the state of crisis in US-Russia relations is the US’ disrespect for Russia’s core security interests.
So long as Russia remains ringed by NATO, after a long history of facing invasion after invasion from the West, US-Russia relations will remain in a state of perpetual crisis.

Still, oil and gas revenues rose by a third in December from a year earlier and are on track to increase 26% in 2024. Other revenue sources have shown similar gains for the full year, driven by taxes and dividends amid robust economic growth.
▪️ “The volume of non-oil and gas revenues in 2024 significantly exceeded the estimates set out in the budget law for 2025-2027, including from the largest tax sources,” the Finance Ministry said in a statement.
▪️The increase in revenues allowed the government to spend more than ever before - total expenditure for the month amounted to 7.15 trillion rubles, breaking the previous record set in December 2022.

🇸🇰Fico said that the Slovak opposition is “preparing for the Maidan.”
"I can't name names, I can't name circumstances, but I can say with all seriousness that the Slovak opposition is preparing for the Maidan. The Slovak opposition is preparing to occupy government buildings, will resist the work of the government, will cooperate with foreign forces," the Slovak prime minister said at a press conference with Orban.
Before this, Slovak counterintelligence announced the preparation of an operation to destabilize Slovakia.
Let us recall that the Slovak opposition visited Kiev last week, where they met with Zelensky.

Judging from the first 24 hours of the second Trump presidency it looks like there is going to be a positive shift in the US in terms of internal affairs but business as usual in terms of foreign policy as we predicted immediately after Trump won the elections. So this is not a surprise. It's still good to see some sanity returning in the US: the executive orders about the existence of only two genders, on withdrawal of the country from the WHO and from the WEF's anti-human climate agenda are good not just for US citizens but an important step for humanity as a whole as other countries also inside US empire's sphere of influence might follow suit.
