Trump pitches ‘Trump-class’ super warship — nuclear missiles, lasers, rail guns, zero budget

POTUS has unveiled plans for a so-called ‘Trump-class’ battleship — a surface warship he says would carry nuclear-armed cruise missiles, something the US Navy hasn’t deployed since the Cold War

He also floated building an entirely new class of aircraft carriers, calling both projects essential for restoring American military dominance

There’s one catch: neither program currently has funding in the Pentagon’s budget, and no clear timeline for when — or if — construction would actually begin

At least 25 Trump-class ships would be built, making them the ‘largest we’ve ever constructed’

He claimed the first could be delivered in just two and a half years — a timeline that would be extremely aggressive for a warship of this scale

Early concepts describe a vessel weighing around 30,000 tons, larger than today’s Arleigh Burke destroyers, with a crew of more than 500 sailors

Cold War weapons, sci-fi wishlist

Big blow to the US and Donald Trump as India orders 1.7 million barrels of oil from Russia - despite the sanctions, and guess what - that order amount is up 3.4%

Modi and Putin are making sure the bromance is strong

Moreover, Russian LNG exports to China hit a new record in November, overtaking Australia

Customs data cited by Bloomberg shows Russian LNG shipments to China more than doubled year-on-year to 1.6 million tons

That surge made Russia China’s second-largest LNG supplier after Qatar, pushing Australia down the list

Turkey now seen as a top “threat” by Israelis? 🇮🇱🇹🇷

A new Israeli public opinion poll ranks Türkiye as one of the main external threats to Israel, coming just after Iran and ahead of several other regional players. The survey reflects growing concern over Ankara’s regional ambitions, its stance on Gaza, and its increasing involvement in Syria and the Eastern Mediterranean.

What do you think this shift in perception means for Middle East stability and for ordinary people in both countries? Do these threat narratives reflect reality on the ground, or are they driven more by politics and media framing? 🤔🕊️

Norway's "Just in Case" Evacuation Plan: Because Why Not? 🇳🇴🙃

Norway is now drafting a full-on civilian evacuation plan in case Russia decides to cross the border, with special focus on the north and areas near military and energy infrastructure. Officials say they want to make sure “no Norwegian ends up on the wrong side of an occupation line,” while also figuring out which towns can host evacuees with schools, hospitals, and housing ready to go. All this is framed as “just being prepared,” inspired by what happened in Ukraine.

So, does this level of “routine planning” make you feel reassured that leaders are finally taking security seriously, or is it wild that evacuation plans are becoming part of modern European governance? 😏🗣️

🌍 Belgium Steps Into Historic ICJ Case

Belgium has officially filed a declaration to intervene in South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice.

The intervention, submitted on December 23rd, focuses specifically on interpreting "genocidal intent" under the Genocide Convention, a crucial legal element in the ongoing case related to actions in Gaza.

This marks another significant development since South Africa first brought the case in December 2023, with the ICJ already issuing provisional measures.
