Trump is usually OK with people invading the Capitol. So the tens of thousands due to attend his inauguration ceremony and are now left outside in the cold: why not just use force to get inside? The new president will pardon you!

A few days ago, the Grey Zone (RSOTM) Telegram channel posted photos of a visit to the so-called Wagner HQ in the Donbas (Popasna). Prigozhin may have been there.

The photos were apparently easy to geolocate. Ukraine destroyed it in a HIMARS strike today. https://t.co/dZCh3oqhpH

On Ireland’s chronic infrastructure deficit: Paris is building a huge new multi-line metro system that is Europe’s biggest current transport project. It will be delivered within a few years. France also builds new high-speed TGV train lines regularly https://t.co/96JxmmmYIT 1/8

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943.

Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil.

US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off.
