Geopolitics
President Vladimir Putin has issued a warning to Kyiv, threatening the further use of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile. This follows a record-setting series of Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, reportedly in response to strikes deep inside Russian territory using Western-supplied long-range missiles. At the Collective Security Treaty Organization summit in Kazakhstan, Putin suggested these advanced weapons could target decision-making centers in Kyiv, which could escalate the conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attacks, describing them as an escalation and emphasizing the need to protect infrastructure during winter.
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, has claimed that NATO and the US are in a “full-scale war” with Russia, citing the provision of long-range missiles to Ukraine as crossing red lines. Former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove has suggested that Russia perceives itself as being at war with the West. The geopolitical situation remains tense, with Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg proposing a plan to leverage US power for negotiations, requiring concessions from Ukraine.
Regarding US politics, Russian President Putin has expressed concerns over the safety of President-elect Donald Trump, citing “uncivilized methods” used against him during the election campaign, including purported assassination attempts. This assertion comes amid political tension, with bomb threats targeting several Trump appointees, including Elise Stefanik and Lee Zeldin. Law enforcement has responded robustly, highlighting the volatile political climate as the new administration prepares to take office.
In Germany, the Green Party faces scrutiny over allegations of facilitating the conversion of refugee benefits into cash, potentially bypassing legal restrictions. This practice, reportedly coordinated by groups linked to the Greens, has sparked debate over the motives, with critics suggesting it may indicate corruption under the guise of humanitarian aid. The Bavarian CSU, which introduced a payment card system to limit cash withdrawals, seeks to criminalize these exchanges, while the Green/Social Democrat government denies awareness of the activities.
Finally, concerns over potential false flag operations in the UK have emerged, with speculation that darkened webcams in London could signal an impending escalation. This theory suggests that the UK, facing financial challenges, might seek to provoke a response from Russia to justify further military engagement. Reports also indicate the Biden administration urging Ukraine to lower its draft age, a move that could have significant implications for the ongoing conflict.
Environment
A new study challenges prevailing climate narratives by revealing a 20-year trend in Greenland’s surface temperatures, suggesting a “non-significant change” in land surface temperature. These findings, based on satellite data, contradict fears of catastrophic melting of the Greenland ice sheet, though they remain largely absent from mainstream discourse.
