🎙️How can the US remain our closest ally when it is bullying us like this?
🇬🇧 Starmer: The US remains a close ally on many topics. We work very closely with them. But we must stand up for our values. I will speak to Trump again. We must find a pragmatic solution to this.

Donald J. Toddler tells the prime minister of Norway that since they snubbed him for the Nobel peace prize he isn’t going to be Mr. Peace anymore. There are dozens of reasons to invoke the 25th Amendment, but this just zoomed to the top of the list.
"Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, ...”
The Norwegian PM explained to Trump how the Nobel Peace Prize is actually awarded, kind of like how a mother explains to her 2-year-old why he can’t have a cookie.

🇳🇴🇺🇸 Norwegian PM Jonas Gahr Støre:
The Nobel Prize has come up between Trump and me in several conversations over the past six months. Partly seriously, because he is very concerned with it.
But Trump knows who awards the Peace Prize, and who does not. I have made that clear several times.

Who had MTG and John Bolton as leading anti-Trump warriors on their bingo card?

🇺🇸 John Bolton: Consider what it means for the United States to invade an ally like Denmark. Is Canada next? Great Britain? Spain?
What gives Trump the idea that the only way to deal with one of the friendliest countries toward America for 250 years is military threats?

A stark reminder that demining is extremely dangerous work.
WARNING: Video shows mine exploding while sapper is working on it.
You can’t hide from the drone. Resistance is futile.
More air defense turned into ground scrap.
Russia is determined to lose as many soldiers as possible in Pokrovsk.
Another 1,020 Russians, plus two tanks.
There is an update on the sub that Ukraine struck in the port at Novorossiysk.

A satellite image from January 19 shows the Russian submarine hit in Novorossiysk by a Ukrainian sea drone still hasn’t moved since the strike 35 days ago. Moscow had claimed it was “undamaged,” Radio Svoboda reports. #Ukraine

Trump invites Putin and Lukashenko to his bullshit Peace Council on Gaza.
Let’s check in on the Russian economy.
What’s Russia going to do with all the scrap metal they are accumulating in Ukraine?

‼️ Russia: Scrap Metal
“The decline in demand for metal and steel production has led to a reduction in scrap supplies—the raw material for electric steel production—to 7.5 million tons per year in 2025, compared to over 10 million tons in the previous three years.”

A bridge too low. Or a truck too high.
Special delivery in Kostyantynivka.

🙏🇺🇦 In the Kostyantynivka direction, the operators of the State Border Guard Service noticed an old woman who wrote in the snow that she wanted bread.
Later, our soldiers threw a bag of bread to her, for which they received a thank you, also written in the snow.

The cold affects all living creatures.
“They only go out to stretch their wings and then head back into the warmth. The neighbors have already brought supplies of grain and corn—enough to last them until spring.
The swans are calm, just chatting among themselves and cooing.”
Safe in dad’s arms.
Does this cat ever walk?
