You need to understand this new infographic. The key takeaway is that Iran's earliest strikes focused on U.S. radar installations to BLIND the U.S. military (while also destroying U.S. bases in the region).

Once that was achieved, Iran shifted to focusing on critical ENERGY infrastructure across the Gulf state (asymmetrical economic warfare), unleashing a global economic fracturing that will be felt for years to come.

Iran isn't choosing targets randomly. The targets are selected to cause maximum economic pain to the West by fracturing the U.S. dollar-debt empire that's tied to Gulf states' dollar-denominated energy markets. All of which have now been severed, btw.

Trump is playing checkers with thoughtless bombing campaigns and failed strategies. Iran is playing 5D chess with precision targeting that breaks the U.S. empire's stranglehold over the region.

Before a war happens, you always know it’s gonna happen. We all know nothing is gonna stop it. Iran could do whatever it wants, and they still couldn’t prevent it. Because those in power want wars. And we know exactly who is literally behind every major war fought in the West.

It’s really sad, tragic even, that it’s going to happen, and that a shadow government seems to be pulling the real strings. But on the other hand, we’re in the times of the great awakening. More and more people are waking up to exactly who profits from these wars, and this time, it’s going to backfire hard on them.

We will not forget. We will remember who was once again screaming for bloodshed: Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, Ben Shapiro, and all their bloodthirsty ilk. I think they’re going to be in big trouble when the tide turns. And it will turn.

NATO is beaten (Oreshnik alone implies that) & has to stop threatening Russia. Russia can hit any target in the EU in 4-8 minutes with devastation.

Russia has everything the EU needs. The EU has nothing Russia wants, except respect & eye-level treatment.

Finally diplomacy pls!

I think this is all great, international law exposed to every one in real time. How useless the UN is and how cucked the Europeans are to the US.

I hope Russia takes this opportunity to level the sh*t out of Ukraine and China invades Taiwan because who actually cares...?

The EU should be abolished and sovereignty returned to individual countries, so that governments can better represent their people

THE IMPOSSIBLE JUST HAPPENED

The world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder is now worth less than its Bitcoin.

Stop and read that again.

Strategy holds 650,000 Bitcoin. Worth $55.9 billion today.

Its market cap: $45.7 billion.

Wall Street is valuing the company at negative $10.2 billion.

This is not a drill. This is the first sustained NAV inversion since the model began. The machine that accumulated 3.1% of all Bitcoin that will ever exist is now priced as if the Bitcoin itself is worthless.

Here is what they are hiding from you.

The company just created a $1.44 billion emergency cash reserve to pay dividends. For the first time in five years, the CEO admitted Bitcoin sales are possible as a “last resort.”

The stock has collapsed 57% since October 6. The premium that funded every purchase has evaporated. The reflexive flywheel that turned $250 million into a $56 billion treasury has reversed into a vortex.

In 44 days, MSCI will decide whether to expel Strategy from global stock indices. JPMorgan estimates $8.8 billion in forced selling if exclusion proceeds.

The math is merciless. $8.2 billion in debt. $7.8 billion in preferred stock. $16 billion in total obligations against a $45.7 billion shell.

At $74,436 average cost, the company sits 15% above break even. One sustained drop erases every gain since 2020.

This is not about one company. This is about whether corporations can hold sound money without being destroyed by the very system they sought to escape.

The largest experiment in corporate Bitcoin adoption is breaking in real time.

January 15, 2026.

Mark the date.

The reckoning has begun.

[THE ISLANDER @IslanderWORLD]

The fall of Andriy Yermak – Zelensky’s fixer, enforcer, gatekeeper, and indispensable ally, isn’t a “corruption scandal.” It’s Washington slapping the table. NABU, the U.S.-trained attack dog of Ukrainian politics, didn’t raid the Presidential Office by accident. It raided to remind Zelensky that the war isn’t his to command, the peace process isn’t his to veto, and the leash around Bankova Street is held in Washington, not Kiev and certainly not European chihuahuas.

Because the real story isn’t Yermak’s resignation. The real story is the West turning on itself over how to end a war Russia has already won.

The fall of Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s most loyal ally and the de facto power manager of Ukraine, is not a scandal. It is a strike from above. NABU, the U.S.-funded, U.S.-trained anti-corruption bureau, didn’t raid the home and office of Ukraine’s most powerful unelected official by coincidence. And in any other country, his resignation after a corruption raid would be a political scandal. In Ukraine, it’s a geopolitical detonation.

Yermak wasn’t just a chief of staff, he was the shadow architect of the regime, the man through whom every appointment, every oligarchic negotiation, every Western request, and every wartime decision had to pass. And the speed of his resignation makes clear this was less about corruption, and more about pressure — engineered, timed, and executed by the one actor that can pull such a lever, Washington.

For months, the U.S. has been split between the neocons clinging to fantasies of a battlefield reversal, and the rising bloc of realists (JD Vance et. al) who have finally accepted what the frontlines have shown for over a year, Russia has already won. Ukraine’s army is shattered, NATO’s ammunition reserves are exhausted, and American voters are done with a war that offers no victory and no strategy. The realists now want a controlled, face-saving diplomatic exit, that locks in territorial losses quietly while Washington claims it “secured peace.” Zelensky has resisted every inch of this pivot because peace ends his power. And Yermak was the immovable pillar of that resistance, insulating Zelensky from any pressure to negotiate, the filter preventing unwanted messages from reaching the president. By purging him through a NABU raid, the U.S. has isolated Zelensky.

Meanwhile, the EU is panicking. European leaders fear peace more than war because peace forces accountability... why did they destroy their own industries, torch their energy security, plunge their economies into recession, and funnel hundreds of billions into corruption for a war Washington itself is now preparing to fold? Brussels supported Zelensky unconditionally not out of conviction but out of sheer self-preservation. If the war ends, they must answer for the ruin they inflicted on their own populations. Europe needs perpetual conflict to postpone the political reckoning. Washington, by contrast, wants a face saving offramp. This is the real EU–US divide: Brussels wants to delay the inevitable, Washington wants to manage it, and Kiev wants to deny it. Only one of them has the power to dictate the timeline, and it isn’t Europe.

Moscow sees the Western fracture, senses the desperation, and understands its advantage. Putin’s message has been cold and consistent: either negotiations occur on terms that reflect the battlefield reality and addreses the root cause of the conflict, or Russia will continue grinding down NATO’s proxy forces until nothing remains to negotiate with. For Russia, both paths lead to victory. Russia has no reason to rush, it is the West running out of time, weapons, unity, and credibility.

And when European publics finally realize their leaders sacrificed prosperity, stability, industry, and geopolitical autonomy for a war that ended exactly where Moscow predicted it would, the political reckoning will be seismic. Yermak’s fall is not the end of an era, it marks the beginning of the collapse for the EU.

Guess what happens when you can't finance a war any longer?

You find a pretext to throw the Ukraine president and his government under the bus.

[Zlatti71 @Zlatti_71]

It’s not complicated…

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

What do you call a world where 190 countries bow to one that’s $38 trillion in debt?

Not order.

Hypnosis.

The U.S. is not feared for its strength, but for its ability to destroy without consequence.

And every leader too afraid to speak knows this truth:

You don’t have alliances with a predator. You have feeding schedules.

[The Sirius Report @thesiriusreport]

US is planning a covert operation to overthrow Maduro.

No prizes for guessing why.

They want to steal Venezuela's energy assets precisely because the US is bankrupt and its shale sectors are in decline.

[Dmitry Medvedev @MedvedevRussiaE]

Releasing Israel hostages and Palestinian prisoners is a good thing, of course, but it won't solve anything. Until a full-fledged Palestinian state is established in line with the well-known UN resolutions, nothing will change. The war will continue. Everyone understands this.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This really goes to show the disconnect between the US and the world.

They're trying to spin China's rare earth controls as some sort of unprovoked "attack on the world" when the truth is that the immense majority of the world is cheering China here: finally someone strong and daring enough to stand up to US bullying.

The bigger timeless lesson here is the golden rule: "Don't do unto others what you don't want done unto you."

The US could afford to ignore it during the unipolar moment as the power differential meant nothing meaningful could be done to them, but the rules have obviously changed in the multipolar world we're entering into.

No doubt a new and uncomfortable rule to abide by for the US and Trump in particular, but China is actually doing the world a favor here by enforcing consequences that never existed before. Far from "attacking the world", China is making it fairer.

Only China can save America from America.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 CHINA TIGHTENS GRIP ON RARE EARTHS AFTER U.S. CHIP BAN

China just hit back with export controls on 12 rare earth elements and now wants foreign buyers to get licenses too.

Beijing controls 70% of rare earth mining, 90% of processing, and 93% of permanent magnet production.

It also refines 100% of global samarium. Good luck building an F-35 without that.

Each fighter jet needs 417 kilograms of rare earths.

Your Electric Vehicle and AI data center aren’t far behind on the dependency scale.

This isn’t just a trade spat. It’s a supply chain chokehold with national security consequences.
