Putins Offensive funktioniert nicht, seine Truppen scheitern an den Streitkräften der Ukraine. Putin lässt sich an den Schwachen aus: den Familien in den Städten. Urbizid und Vertreibungskampagnen durch Bombardieren von Heizung und Strom bei minus 20 Grad. Kriegsverbrechen.

The Minneapolis pastor had observed "ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic" and insisted they take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” trib.al/kv6rA7r

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

Die FAZ betreibt hier klassisches „view from nowhere": Äquidistanz zwischen Positionen, obwohl die Faktenlage weniger ambivalent ist, als der Artikel suggeriert. Das ist Beide-Seiten-Journalismus als Wahrheitsverweigerung. Anders ausgedrückt: Gehts noch, FAZ?

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Apropos Berlin:

Wer für Vance "Vans" schreibt, kennt den Namen (nur oder vorwiegend) aus der üblichen kyrillischen Schreibung. Ванс.

Und wer Giffey schreibt und gleich in der nächsten Zeile Giffay, kennt auch diesen Namen wohl nur aus der kyrillischen Umschrift. Гифай.

‼️Russian Railways is nearing a systemic collapse.

High debt and low income are crippling the budget, they are buying less and less locomotives and railcars due to budget issues, and an urgent 200B ruble bailout request was denied.

Expect a cascade of train failures, soon.💥🚂

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

At 34 USD per barrel and 79 rubles per USD the Russian budget will get 5 825 rubles per ton of oil sold vs the 13 943 it will get if oil is 59 USD per barrel as the budget plans and USD is 90 rubles per USD as Russian banks hope for 2026.

Just sent out this piece about the Trump-Zelensky-Putin pantomime yesterday. People who think this brought peace closer cannot face the truth. This meeting was a continuation of Trump's efforts to help Putin and demean Ukraine. And he succeeded. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I fully expect the Trump admin to do something stupid that throws the increasingly fragile Russian economy a lifeboat, which will do nothing but prolong the war.
🧵1/12: Russia’s economy hasn’t collapsed, but it is suffering immensely. It still runs, but only because the central bank keeps it alive with constant REPO liquidity. What was once emergency support is now the daily operating system.

NEW: Russian forces are currently unable to build out a strategic reserve and will therefore likely be constrained to grinding, slow advances at their current rate and scale in the coming year.

Trump’s Christmas Day attacks on Nigeria a complete failure and cost nearly $30 million.

Witnesses report the US struck fields and farmland in areas with no history of terrorist activity or presence. On top of that multiple US missiles failed to detonate & sunk into the dirt.

Die Selbstradikalisierung ist erstaunlich. Teile des „konservativen“ Milieus haben sich offenbar von der Idee demokratischer Selbstbestimmung verabschiedet. Souveränität dient nur noch als Kulturkampfbegriff. Wenn Entscheidungen nicht passen, werden Techkonzerne und die USA als Korrektiv begrüßt.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.
