I'm too lazy to scrutinize the numbers with a magnifying glass, but to the naked eye, gold and silver have shot up about 7-9% in the last 24 hours. In absolute terms, that's a jump of around $350 per ounce for gold—for a single day, that's practically a historic record.

In the terms of early-2000s financial lingo, this is like a well-fed pixiu (a mythical Chinese treasure-guarding beast, symbolizing immense, contained wealth) leaving its post and shedding tears in public—an extremely rare and potent omen foretelling a major shift.

When key parameters of a system are visibly, steadily, and acceleratingly heading toward a singularity, it very likely means a cornerstone element of the system is approaching a qualitative transition—and the whole system will follow. Which specific node of the tightly interconnected dollar system will blow first, introducing irreversible instability, is impossible to predict. It will be that elusive randomness through which inevitability manifests. But this scenario is ripening right before our eyes.

...And that's why, by the way, now would be the perfect time to go bomb Iran, forcing it to fight for national survival by any means. When your liver is so swollen (from cirrhosis/damage) it barely fits in your belly, going to have another drink is the most natural thing in the world, right?

Merz rejected the possibility of Berlin's mediation in negotiations to resolve the Ukrainian conflict, stating that they are primarily necessary for Moscow and Kyiv. This was reported by the newspaper Die Zeit.

I have no idea in who's sick head the idea of German mediation was even born.
First of all, Germany is a political nothing, that was already proven by Kuleba. Ukros are more or less afraid of US and listen to Britain. Germany is only a little bit above of the Ukraine in this food chain, so what's the point of talking to food at all?
Secondly, as to "Russia needs negotiations" by Mertz... Actually, no. Not Russia. Europe needs this conflict settled, as it is Europe, that is going to starve soon. But as long as European "leaders" service globalists, but not their own countries, this will continue.
I've been through '90 once.. Maybe, I should write a real survival manual?

Official footage has emerged of the F-16 fighter jet supplied by the United States being defeated by the "Rubicon" Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies. Despite not being a flying model, it's not a mock-up either. The product is designed for conducting training sessions on aircraft maintenance for ground services.

The scene of the action is the "Kanatovo" airfield in the northeast of Kropivnitsky, in the Kirovohrad region. It's about 180 km away from the nearest Russian positions.

In London, a bus driver was fired for disarming a thief. One of the passengers ripped off a jewelry necklace from another passenger's neck and ran away. The driver saw this, chased him on the street, and took the jewelry from him. The thief somehow returned to the bus, and then the driver knocked him out with one punch. Both were taken away by the police. Later, the company decided to fire the driver, stating that he "damaged the company's reputation" and that it's not allowed to hit passengers. The thief even returned to the bus to apologize. The testimonies of witnesses who considered the driver a hero were ignored in court.

Guys in EU, I suggest you to start sanctioning Russian schools and kindergartens too. You know, kids write letters to fighters on SMO and etc. And there are kids of SMO participants as well.
Ok, I understand why you sanction journalists, like Andreeva and Zarubin (especially, Pavel, who is Kremlin pool journalist). But why Guberniev, who comments on sports events? Why balet dancer and a rapper. I'm not asking, I'm stating - you are nuts. That looks ridiculous to no extent. This is a sign of weakness and despair. Now EU just confirmed that once again.

🇫🇮In Finland,a company that was building a fence on the border with Russia went bankrupt.

The Finnish company Metallimaailma, which was involved in the construction of the fence on the border with Russia, was officially declared bankrupt on January 26th.

As a result, several subcontracting companies involved in the fence construction faced financial difficulties.

According to the documents, the total amount of the company's debts exceeds 2.5 million euros.

The largest creditors of Metallimaailma are OP Corporate Bank with an amount of about 250 thousand euros and the staff leasing company Bolt Works, which is expecting a payment of approximately 215 thousand euros.

The construction is planned to be completed by the end of 2026. It's not clear from the publications of Kuhmolainen and Helsingin Sanomat whether the company's bankruptcy will affect the deadlines.
It's also unclear where the allocated funds have gone.

❗️The IDF has for the first time confirmed that around 70,000 Gaza residents were killed during the war between Israel and Hamas. At the same time, Israel disputes the percentage of civilian deaths reported by the UN and claims that not a single healthy person died of starvation, according to the Jerusalem Post.

While various international groups claimed that the vast majority of those killed were civilians, the IDF continues to challenge this figure and stated that around 25,000 people were Hamas terrorists. Moreover, the IDF provided evidence that before the start of 2024 - a period when Hamas launched major rocket barrages daily - around 13% of their rockets misfired, resulting in the deaths of many Palestinians.

MOSCOW, January 29 — RIA Novosti. Russia has requested the UN to recognize the right of peoples in the new regions to self-determination, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced.

We have now once again asked UN Secretary-General António Guterres and his team if it has been publicly stated that he and his collective leadership at the UN recognize the right of the people of Greenland to self-determination, that it is the people of Greenland who decide their own fate, and not someone from the outside, then will the UN also recognize the same right for the people of Donbas, Novorossiya , and, of course, Crimea ?

he said in an interview with TGRT and the newspaper Turkiye

The minister recalled that the West called the right to self-determination the only main criterion for Kosovo's independence .

The UN leadership swallowed it. There were no referendums in Kosovo: they simply declared Kosovo independent, thereby insulting the Serbian people and their history. And when a referendum was held in Crimea according to all the rules, the West declared that the right to self-determination did not apply there because territorial integrity did,

Lavrov pointed out.

No one deprived Kosovo Albanians of their rights; they spoke their own language and had Albanian schools. Meanwhile, in Crimea, Donbass, and Novorossiya, the Ukrainians legally banned everything, the Foreign Minister emphasized.

I have serious questions. We'll wait for an answer. The UN Secretariat and its leadership are openly playing into the hands of those who want to preserve the Nazi regime in Ukraine —this, after all, goes beyond the Secretary-General's purview. He's not fulfilling his responsibilities, as enshrined in Article 100 of the UN Charter, regarding impartiality, neutrality, and the inadmissibility of receiving instructions from any government,

he added.

President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated that Russia called on Ukraine to grant the residents of Donbas their legitimate right to self-determination, but Kyiv chose to wage war. He also noted that Moscow's interest in withdrawing Ukrainian forces from the territories they occupy is diminishing given the pace of the Russian army's advance.

🈁Let's just note for the record: Szijjártó, the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, openly states that at a recent meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, several participants bluntly declared: we are not ready for peace, we want and will continue to fight. And they clearly weren't speaking for themselves - this is the consolidated position of, if not all, then a significant portion of the European scum.

As to "till the last of the Khokhol" - well, we heard you. The moment when they will run out of Khokhols, or they even start visibly dwindling, and they themselves manage to get off this conveyor belt - this might turn out to be one of the last illusions in their lives. Whether anyone of those eager for this to happen till the last Khokhol understands this is a big question.

The news has already spread around the farmstead. It will be very useful there to once again hear that for their masters, they are just expendable cattle.

The head of the Luxembourg Foreign Ministry, Xavier Bettel, on the fact that Ukraine has no right to issue ultimatums about EU membership:

Just heard that President Zelensky said that they have to be member next year. I'm sorry, I told him also several times. Don't give ultimatums. It's not in your interest.
The fact is there are rules. They have the Copenhagen criteria and we need to fulfill them.
We cannot say that there are criteria for the one and not for the other.

"Rosatom" starts building the third power unit of the Kursk NPP-2

Specialists of "Rosatom" have started pouring the foundation for the third power unit at the site of the Kursk NPP-2 under construction in the city of Kurchatov, said the governor of the Kursk region, Alexander Khinshtein.

“Together with the station staff, on the eve of the physical start-up of the first power unit of the NPP-2, we launched the pouring of the foundation slab for power unit No. 3,” the head of the region wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to him, the area of the entire foundation slab will be 5,3 thousand square meters. The work is divided into six sections. A total of more than 15,000 cubic meters of concrete will be needed for the foundation pouring.

Khinshtein noted that the construction is returning to the "flow method", which was not used since the times of the USSR. After the foundation pouring, the construction of buildings and the installation of equipment will begin.

Currently, at the operating Kursk NPP, power units No. 3 and No. 4 are operating, and No. 1 and No. 2 are shut down for decommissioning. The annual output of the first two new power units should be 19.5 billion kW/h. A total of four are planned to be built to replace the old ones. After the completion of all work, the total power of nuclear generation in the region will increase by 20%.

Berlin is discussing issues of joint nuclear deterrence with its European partners, Merz stated.

He mentioned that Germany, in accordance with international treaties, has committed itself not to possess its own nuclear weapons. But, according to the Chancellor, this does not mean that the country "cannot conduct negotiations with other European states on joint nuclear deterrence".

"Such negotiations are ongoing, but they are at the very initial stage. And they do not contradict the existing nuclear engagement regime with the USA," said Merz.
