"The President has already told us ... that he intends to go after the 2026 elections." We just "don’t exactly know what form Trump’s attempt will take. "Maybe ICE, maybe something else. It's not if—it’s how."
Russia’s defense industry is poised to slow sharply in 2026 as the Kremlin opts to prioritize economic stability and balancing finances over further increases in spending on the war in Ukraine. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/29/world/politics/kremlin-war-machine-budget/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #volodymyrzelenskyy #kremlin
A funny thing:
You can con con men
Cruel manipulators have a hubristic blindness about their untouchability as "master schemers" that can be used against them
Example:
Denis Kapustin, commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps working for #Ukraine, had a bounty placed on his head by #Russia's intelligence services
So Ukraine faked his death
Collected the bounty
From *the #Kremlin* 🤭
Then today #Budanov made an announcement:
"Welcome back to life"
😂😂😂

2025 : connivence entre #ElonMusk et le #Kremlin pour soumettre l' #Europe ...
(Dimitri Medvedev est le Vice-président du Conseil de sécurité de Russie, ancien Président de la Fédération de Russie)
Bonnes résolutions pour 2026 : on ne se laisse pas faire !
RV le #20Janvier pour la reprise en main !
D'ici là, "Elon Musk en 50 Tweets" vous guidera dans les méandres de la nouvelle donne géopolitique.
Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:
Ukraine’s intel chief warns that Russia is fast-tracking plans to occupy the #Baltics.
The #Kremlin previously aimed to occupy the states by 2030, but he said this has been moved to 2027. #EU allies and top military generals repeatedly warn that their intel aligns with this.
This fucking guy
He's one for the ages
Ukrainians are angry at a tone in Western #media lately that #Ukraine is losing
#Disinfo from the usual #socialMedia #troll farms and #plutocrat influenced channels shilling a #narrative for a corrupt #agenda
So what does #Zelensky do?
He goes to the frontline in #Kupiansk and films himself there
While the #West repeats #Kremlin lies that #Russia controls it
😂
Zelensky is something else
Tough, crafty, true
In a world of dipshits

"On ignore où se trouve à l’heure actuelle Aleksandar Savic. Ce qu’on sait : son homologue des mains rouges, Nikolay Ivanov, avait fui son pays, la Bulgarie, après la dégradation du Mémorial de la #Shoah pour se rendre, comme l’avait révélé Mediapart, à Moscou, avant de se réfugier en Croatie où il avait fini par être interpellé."
Des documents internes au #Kremlin montrent l’implication de la #Russie dans des opérations en France visant #juifs et #musulmans

Ukraine now says the peace plan has been completely altered yesterday, and Marco Rubio agreed that the peace plan must
"uphold Ukraine’s sovereignty and deliver a sustainable and just peace."
Putin's aide JD Vance will lose it when Rubio arrives in Washington.

Why is the #USA doing this?
No one sane or lucid needs to wonder:
#Trump and his band of corrupt assholes make money
Pt 14 of the 28 pt "plan":
"$100 billion in frozen Russian assets will be invested in #US-led efforts to rebuild and invest in #Ukraine. The US will receive 50% of the profits from this venture. #Europe will add $100 billion to increase the amount of investment available for Ukraine's reconstruction. Frozen European funds will be unfrozen"
The people of #Ukraine have suffered mightily for a long time now, for the #Kremlin's vile #fascism and #imperialism
And unfortunately, their suffering looks to go on for quite awhile
It's bleak
And it's partly because of a corrupt feeble incompetent #USA
Even from a selfish strategy point of view, the #US should help Ukraine. The problem lies when the financial interests of craven #plutocracy take precedence, aided by a sea of brainwashed #bigotry that votes for them
Two top U.S. Army officials have made a rare wartime visit to Kyiv, in an unannounced trip for talks with Ukraine’s leaders in an attempt to revive stalled peace talks with Russia. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/19/world/politics/us-army-ukraine-peace-talks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #volodymyrzelenskyy #us
The #Kremlin has employed a shadowy recruitment network to lure young Indian men with promises of jobs, only to trap them into fighting for Russia. Experts say Russia is using manpower from the Indian subcontinent to build a reserve of expendable soldiers to fight in its grinding war against Ukraine.
