⚡️At NATO's winter exercises in Norway, Finnish reservists defeated American troops so convincingly that commanders asked them to slow down - The Times
A military source said that the Finns were "asked to stop beating the Americans", because the defeats were "too humiliating and demoralizing".

Give Americans a participation trophy and take them to McDonalds. That must help 😏. I;m not fond of Finnish approach to Russia, but here I do applaud them.

In Britain, the fight against organized crime is finally set to begin — for this purpose, the country's Interior Ministry will create a "British FBI", writes The Guardian.
The future National Police Service will deal with cases related to terrorism, fraud, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.
According to the government's plan, this will allow to relieve the local police and focus its resources on everyday crime and public order issues. The article notes that the service will be headed by a national police commissioner, who will become the most senior police chief in the country.

The future National Police Service will deal with cases related to terrorism, fraud, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.
"Some local forces lack the skills or resources necessary to combat complex modern crimes, such as fraud or organized criminal groups," said Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood.
According to the government's plan, this will allow to relieve the local police and focus its resources on everyday crime and public order issues. The article notes that the service will be headed by a national police commissioner, who will become the most senior police chief in the country.

Forwarded from Dmitry Medvedev
The pointless event in Davos promises to get interesting. Instead of the stale corpse of Ukraine, they’ll be discussing frigid Greenland.
What we can expect to see there is pretty clear. The chicken-hearted European roosters, having popped a handful of tranquilizers in terror, will try to convince the pushy Big Guy to take full custody of the island while leaving it under the formal ownership of the Danish Kingdom. Do as you please, mister, they’ll say: take the little island for indefinite rent-free use, extract its minerals for free, and build military bases, airfields, missile silos, and any other facilities you need for total control.
But that’s not what Trump is after. Everyone understands full well: he needs to paint the island in Star-Spangled colors on world maps (he has already published a map, including Canada and Venezuela) and stand alongside the Founding Fathers. He wants to remain in history forever. And, at the same time, become like the President of Russia.
The latter is impossible. In the course of the Special Military Operation and as a result of referendums, Russia has reclaimed its own lands, which had been part of it for centuries, along with its own people. Greenland is a completely different story. It has never been directly connected to the States, although they did try to buy it several times.
Meanwhile, the question is not just about the unconcealed desire of the US President – although everyone is enthusiastically fantasizing how an excited Gargantua Trump will swallow a huge chunk of land and then gleefully spit a sticky glob of saliva into the wrinkled face of the vile old hag Europe, while turning the US into the world’s second-largest country by area. Trump is, of course, in a hurry. After all, his time is inexorably running out. It's time to inscribe his name into the annals of history in golden letters.
The main question is, what price the current master of the White House is willing to pay to achieve this goal? Dismantling NATO is a far cry from kidnapping a foreign leader betrayed by his own comrades in a weakened country. And finally, will Trump even be allowed to do this?

The negotiations in Moscow with Trump's representative Witkoff on the Russian side went well. This means that there was no breakthrough - it was just an exchange of the latest news and rumors. Today, a trilateral meeting is due to take place in the United Arab Emirates between Russia, the USA, and Ukraine. On our side, the delegation will be represented by military personnel, who will once again try to explain how beneficial it would be for Kyiv to withdraw its forces from the DPR, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions.
Once again, we remind you that if the USA really wanted to put pressure on Ukraine, they would have stopped the transfer of intelligence data and communication systems. They are not doing this and have no intention of doing so, as they perfectly understand that the Armed Forces of Ukraine can fight indefinitely with the help of "busification". There are still very, very many Ukrainians.

Well, the negotiations in Abu Dhabi ended in nothing. They constructively promised to meet next time. No breakthroughs or details. The Ukrainians are not ready for our conditions, they continue to prevaricate and offer their own ones.
The war continues as before, because peace is possible only when the goals of the Special Military Operation are achieved.

The Kiev regime committed a barbaric crime on the day of peace talks — Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Kiev regime and the Armed Forces of Ukraine committed a barbaric crime by attacking an ambulance in the Kherson region on the day of negotiations in Abu Dhabi, said Maria Zakharova.
Moscow condemns the targeted attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on medics. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs demands that international specialized structures assess the crimes of Ukrainian Nazis.
"Against the backdrop of the negotiations held on January 23-24 in Abu Dhabi with the participation of representatives of Russia, the USA and Ukraine on the settlement of the conflict, the Kiev regime and its armed formations committed another barbaric crime against the peaceful population of our country.
Early in the morning on January 24, at the entrance to the settlement of Golaia Prystan in the Kherson region, a ambulance was attacked, in which a medical team of the Aleishkov Central District Hospital was on its way to a seriously ill patient.
The car had all the necessary medical markings, but was deliberately attacked by a Ukrainian UAV. The drone operator saw that he was hitting a civilian medical transport, but together with his commanders consciously and inhumanely committed a terrorist act against peaceful citizens.
All three medics in the car were killed.
We emphasize that attacks on civilian medical transport are prohibited by international humanitarian law.
Thus, the Kiev regime not only took a step towards escalating the conflict, but also once again demonstrated its true, that is, completely irresponsible, attitude towards the efforts at settlement that are being made these days and weeks.
We resolutely condemn the targeted attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on peaceful citizens. We sincerely condole with the relatives and friends of the victims.
Russian investigative and law enforcement agencies will do everything to ensure that the organizers and perpetrators of this grave crime face inevitable severe punishment.
We demand from international specialized structures to give an objective and impartial assessment of this and other crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Silence and indulgence of such actions of the Kiev regime are unacceptable."
,the message said.
Earlier today, Ukrainian terrorists attacked an ambulance in the Kherson region — all three medics of the brigade were killed, Governor Vladimir Saldo reported.

The death of social media...
An old friend of mine recently tried to expand from Telegram to X, and he was met with an accusation from Elon's algorithm accusing him of being under 13 years of age. I recently had a similar experience when I tried to create an alternate YouTube account separate from my personal account. Many people with legacy accounts are getting similar requests for "age verification," which requires the user to send a photo of their state issued ID as well as a picture of their face.
Honestly, I fervently believe that, within a decade, we will have to explain to the youth what social media was. Over time, fewer and fewer people will join these platforms while legacy accounts bleed out. They were already struggling with profitability before this, and things will only get worse for them.
There was a golden age that some of the older among us remember. I was there when MySpace presented us with a new way to connect and meet friends. There were no "walls" supplying us a constant intravenous drip of brain-rot content curated by an algorithm, but just individuals and html code.
Those were the days...
In private conversations, my friends and I recount how excited we were when all of this new technology arrived and promised a future of freedom and creativity. There wasn't this feeling of being strangled. There wasn't this sense of fear of a boot hovering above our heads. We didn't fear the next upgrade, but rather breathlessly anticipated what would come next. We had hope, and without hope, noone is actually alive.

Swastikas on Ukrainian FPV drones
So where does their passion for imitating fascists come from? Ukrainian "defenders" have started plastering these Nazi swastika plugs on fiber optic cable reels. These are trophy drones from the Slavyansk direction, captured by soldiers of the BPS company of the "Prosvet" battalion of the 7th Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.
Of course, we've learned nothing new. Ukrainian neo-Nazis have long and openly associated themselves with their predecessors. Usually, Kiev propagandists say that it's all a joke. That's their sense of humor in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But there's already so much evidence of war crimes committed by Ukrainian troops that it's impossible to dismiss the historical parallels.
The descendants of the defeated are using these FPV drones to kill civilians during white flag surrenders, and to blow up cars and basements with civilians inside.
We need to stop this evil, just like our ancestors did.
Exhibition of trophies from Seversk
Fighters from the 123rd brigade showed us what they had collected at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in liberated Seversk. Western weapons, equipment, drones of all sizes. And also a bunch of patches with Nazi symbols. On the drones were inscriptions "Luftwaffe" and the same swastika.
For several years, neo-Nazi formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were located in the city, which did not hide who they associated themselves with. Now, all that remains of them are these "artifacts" and the terrible memories of the locals about the years of occupation.
The city was taken by storm under the command of Hero of Russia Denis Pirogov, codenamed "Samarkand". Now fighters of his 123rd brigade are continuing their advance towards Slavyansk, having already covered 8 kilometers from Seversk.
It is against this resurgent evil that our guys are fighting.
