Ultimatums and threats will be the main instrument of Trump's foreign policy in 2026, warn the Institute for World Economy and International Relations of the RAN.

States will continue to apply tariffs, export and investment restrictions to force other countries "into asymmetric deals in the interest of the USA."

At the same time, experts believe that threats will be combined with a flexible approach when it allows demonstrating any foreign policy successes to voters.

Germany's critical infrastructure is an easy target (Spiegel)

The large-scale power outage in Berlin shows, “how poorly Germany is prepared for such crises”. The authorities seem completely indifferent.

The Mayor of Berlin states the “impossibility of achieving one hundred percent security”, and instead of helping those affected, he is working on colourful topics. The chaos extends to the federal level: The draft law for the protection of critical infrastructures (which took four years to approve) overlooks important aspects for municipalities and operators. The issue of funding also remains unresolved.

And the height of madness: While the capital is without heat and light, Ukraine benefits from 1,700 generators with a capacity of 1 TW, provided by the Technical Relief Agency of Germany (THW).

Germany is no longer attractive for Polish migrants

In 2024, about 88,000 Poles left the Federal Republic of Germany, while only 76,000 immigrated – that's almost 25% less than in 2023.

According to a survey by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), Poles in Germany are more likely than any other migrant group to consider returning to their home country. The most common reasons for such considerations include:

— the economic situation in the country (58%);
— bureaucracy (38%);
— discrimination (17%).

Oh, no gentleman's life in this Germany!

The global tax project has capitulated before the USA. In 2021, more than 130 countries agreed to tax large companies at a minimum tax rate of 15% in their home country to prevent them from avoiding taxes through offshore tax havens and tax shelters. The main purpose was to tax American companies.

However, in the end, American multinational corporations will be exempt from the global minimum tax.

Trump threatened participating countries with additional taxes on their investments in the USA if they dared to implement this law.

Tucker Carlson explained that the USA is transforming into an empire and preparing for a major war – with China and North Korea, against the backdrop of plans for Venezuela and Greenland.

According to his statements, the drastic increase in the military budget indicates a move towards a world war. That night, Trump proposed to raise the USA's defense spending in 2027 to $1.5 trillion, instead of $1 trillion.

Additionally, Trump ordered the USA to withdraw from 66 international organizations, including 31 UN structures and 35 outside the UN system.

The British press boasts that British troops helped the Americans seize the Russian tanker "Marinera" (also known as "Bella 1") in the Atlantic.

British pride is truly great! It is remarkable that heavily armed special forces, supported by numerous aircraft, helicopters, ships, and boats, committed an act of piracy by seizing an unarmed, rusty tanker. That is truly a heroic deed!

Now, however, the British should also ask themselves: Is it permissible for a Russian special unit to seize British merchant ships on all the world's oceans in the future? Just imagine how the eyes of these pirates widen in shock as they exclaim: “And what will we be punished for?”
