Medvedev stated that in 2025 Russia sent 422,000 people to the war.

He did not explain what happened to the previous 400,000 people who were sent to fight in 2024.

Tariffs would undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. Europe will remain united, coordinated, and committed to upholding its sovereignty.

Underappreciated fact:

The paths and positions of the cable damages around New Years 2026 were to most of Estonia's internet backbone routes.

Had it fully succeeded/happened by accident (lol) Estonia would have been left with a crippled connectivity.

Trump can put a million-percent tariffs on Denmark, and it still doesn't change the answer about Greenland. There are only two possible endings to this bizarre story. Either Trump gives up, or else he goes through with a military invasion.

Dangerous new step in Trump's deranged pursuit of Greenland: economic punishment of allies to coerce Denmark into selling Greenland—on demonstrably spurious grounds. The president is lying: US missile defence can function perfectly w/out US ownership of Greenland. It has done for decades.

This is it, Europe. It's now or never.

Do you want to be vassal states of America, or do you want to be sovereign?

The choices you make at this moment will determine your future for decades.

1/ Donald Trump's aggressive tactics over Greenland are causing consternation among his far-right allies in Europe. With European publics overwhelmingly against surrendering Greenland, leading European far-rightists have come out in opposition to Trump's plans. ⬇️

Will Germany continue its tough line against flagless tanker today? Or will they let RANGE VALE, IMO 9299898, pass?

R V is the latest tanker to enter Baltic Sea without a flag, under sanctions. Lacks listed manager, ie safety mgmt.

Hi All, Just sent out this piece. Yes, Trump is deadly serious in wanting to seize Greenland. He just does not want to invade. He would like to "assimilate" the island like the Borg--and hopes threats to Europe/NATO will help him do it. This will not be pretty. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Italian authorities have detained a cargo vessel suspected of transporting Russian metal in violation of EU sanctions.

The ship, flying the flag of Tuvalu. Investigators believe its cargo of iron briquettes was shipped from Novorossiysk using falsified documents and deliberate GPS shutdowns.

The Power Shift wasn’t theory, its trajectory, “Putin is now having to defend everything, all of the time”.
Now we’re seeing the downdraft: Iran wobbling, Venezuela slipping, Russia’s global reach shrinking.

Both Poland and the UK are strengthening their militaries:

🔹Poland's military will expand to 500k and modernize capabilities
🔹The UK will simplify reserve call-ups and raise mobilization age to 65

Prudent moves given the risk that the US won't respond to an attack on the EU.

Denmark/Greenland will let us do anything we want militarily to protect our interests in Greenland with current and abandoned US military bases. We can move any assets we want there. So all the arguments about security are BS. Trump wants to OWN Greenland, not protect it.
