Great news that the tanker was seized... never mind the childish reactions of the Russians...! Please, seized more of the shadow tankers! They are a danger to the environment: very often old vessels....

Yes... true ...Russia got isolated in international relations, moreover: they lost Syria completely!!! There is not much publiced about this, but it was a major blow!!! And ...they recently lost their "friend" Venezuela and are going to lost their "friend" Iran.....
Russia was far more powerful, had more influence, and more potential before Putin decided to launch his failed full-scale invasion of Ukraine

Russian oilexport is collapsing #russiaislosing
Russia’s oil export income continues to collapse, now down 35% since October, falling to just $959 million per week — the lowest level since the war began.

#russiaislosing a sanctionized russian tanker is seized ....according to this report
More humiliation for the Kremlin at this hour, as a TRUE "special military operation" is ongoing, with NATO forces seizing a sanctioned Russian tanker on the North Sea.

I'm never backing down. I'm going to continue holding this Administration accountable because I won't let them intimidate me or any American out of speaking their mind.

I think the Greenland threat is a troll. I think.

But it would sure be nice for some senators and GOP house members to speak up now and make it clear that an attack on a nato ally would lead to removal from office

Great thread!! Christia Freeland appointed by Zelenskyy as special adviseren on economie development. In this thread a great overview on who Chrystia is and what she has accomplished ...impressive lady!!!!
Zelenskyy has appointed Canada's Chrystia Freeland as Ukraine's Special Advisor on Economic Development.

This places one of the most experienced Western economic & geopolitical operators directly into Ukraine’s reconstruction and long term development strategy. #cdnpoli 🧵

✈️❗️The third day of the "blockade" of Moscow continues. Not a single plane in the sky. Airports are closed.

New Year's holidays according to the schedule of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

Of course !!! And the VS have shown how professional they operate .. I guess not everybody in the Kremlin is sleeping well these days
Seeing that Vladimir Putin interferes with our elections, can he be kidnapped too?
January 5, 2026 at 4:46 PM
Putin is used to bluffing and poker playing and lying, has no moral kompass... #Russiaislosingthewar
Just a reminder:

Russia still controls 0/23 of the regional capitals and special-status cities that Ukraine controlled at the start of the war.

Russia is extremely far from reaching its strategic goals and is thus losing the pointless war it started

Thread 🧵👇
POKROVSK: SUCCESS OR FAILURE?

As the battle rages on Russia still doesn’t control the whole city and Ukrainian forces are still present as they are in Myronrahd.
It’s estimated that Russia has lost the equivalent of five motorised armoured divisions and three motorised infantry divisions fighting

Some say that Greenland will be next on Trump's list......
🇸🇪🇩🇰🇬🇱 PM of Sweden:

Only Denmark and Greenland have the right to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland. Sweden fully stands up for our neighboring country.

This story should be properly investigated, i think
Fiona Hill said in 2019 that Russia wanted to swap Venezuela for Ukraine. That's what this really is. Planning started after Alaska.

I wonder if every other country understands that it is now ok to attack any other country and capture its president.
