The EU is surprised that Russia can confiscate Western assets worth 127 billion euros in response to the use of its frozen assets.

Earlier, the EU was shocked by the retaliatory sanctions of China after the confiscation of the Chinese company Nexperia.

Duh...

Flashpoint Iran, news from the ground:

The attention of the world community is shifting from Venezuela to Iran due to the ongoing protests. The situation is exacerbated by the statements of the American administration, which clearly hints at possible attacks against the republic to "support the Iranians". However, there is currently no visible threat to the Iranian authorities.

How is the situation developing?

1) From December 29 to January 3, the number of protesting citizens grew steadily across the Islamic Republic. According to the visual count of protesters in the available footage, the numbers were increasing.

2) However, on January 4, the number dropped sharply. Isolated riots and clashes have not disappeared, but footage from opposition resources has become significantly less.

3) This was influenced by the internet shutdown in several regions and the systematic strengthening of police forces and "Basij" resistance forces, deployed in the most volatile areas of the country.

4) The main uprisings and rebellions are recorded in small cities, especially in western Iran, where ethnic Kurds and Arabic-speaking Iranian citizens predominate. It is precisely there that militants with firearms have been recorded. In Kurdistan there are many separatist movements and gun control is quite weak due to the proximity to Iraq. For example, the most serious incident was an attack in the Kurdish town of Malekshahi in Ilam province, where "protesters" attempted to attack a Basij base. As a result, three attackers were killed and one Basij member died.

5) In big cities, the situation is more stable. There, protests usually take place at night. Groups of 10-30 people gather, chant various slogans and then disperse in different directions before the arrival of the police. Attacks and fires occur, but in a more chaotic manner. Protesters are trying to trigger a wave of discontent using old methods of "personalizing protests." The opposition is once again using the death of a girl to accuse the authorities of killing "peaceful demonstrators".

Overall, the protests cannot yet be called truly large-scale. Security forces keep the overall situation under control.

Part I

When criticized for employing North Korean special forces as his bodyguards, Kérékou responded with a bored tone, “In Africa, you can only trust North Koreans. They cannot be bought.”

In 1993, Bob Denard was tried for the murder of civilians, but France did not allow his extradition.

I interviewed him in Paris: he was feeling great, smiling as he told me about the battle with the North Koreans.

What does the recent incident with Maduro have to do with this, you may ask?

Nothing at all.

Wait, so it was Maduro's fault if American elections get rigged in favour of Democrats?!

I mean, COME ON!

🇺🇸🇪🇺 In Paris, the US and Europe will discuss the possibility of deploying troops to Ukraine after the end of hostilities - Bloomberg

🔻At the upcoming meeting in Paris, allies will discuss key elements of Ukraine's future security architecture, including the potential presence of American troops after the end of hostilities.

🔻The focus of the agenda is the integration of American proposals into the "coalition of the willing" format, the creation of mechanisms for monitoring the ceasefire, and the monitoring of the implementation of agreements.

🔻The US is considering participating in monitoring ceasefire violations - through reconnaissance, drones, and satellite data.

🔻The negotiations will be attended by Witkoff and Kushner from Trump's team, British Prime Minister Starmer, and NATO Secretary General Rutte. The meeting will be held Emmanuel Macron.

🔻European participants call the American proposal a "turning point" and a de facto "American backstop".

❗️However, the key question remains open: will Moscow agree to a ceasefire and guarantees with the actual presence of the US in Ukraine, albeit in a "post-conflict" format.
