🇩🇪⚠️💰⬅️🇺🇸 — 📰 The Guardian | ‘Repatriate the gold’: German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults | Shift in relations and unpredictability of Donald Trump make it ‘risky to store so much gold in the US’, say experts | January 24, 2026

"Germany is facing calls to withdraw its billions of euros’ worth of gold from US vaults, spurred on by the shift in transatlantic relations and the unpredictability of Donald Trump.

Germany holds the world’s second biggest national gold reserves after the US, of which approximately €164bn (£142bn) worth – 1,236 tonnes – is stored in New York.

Emanuel Mönch, a leading economist and former head of research at Germany’s federal bank, the Bundesbank, called for the gold to be brought home, saying it was too “risky” for it to be kept in the US under the current administration.

“Given the current geopolitical situation, it seems risky to store so much gold in the US,” he told the financial newspaper Handelsblatt. “In the interest of greater strategic independence from the US, the Bundesbank would therefore be well advised to consider repatriating the gold.”

Stefan Kornelius, the spokesperson for Friedrich Merz’s coalition government, said recently that withdrawal of the gold reserves was not currently under consideration."

🦾💬🇺🇸⚡️🇺🇸 — 📰 ZeroHedge | NATO Secretary General Admits EU Incapable Of Defense Without US Help | January, 27, 2026:

"The globalist frenzy of the Davos Summit is subsiding and the geopolitical world is left to ponder (and question) some of the more "optimistic" comments made by world leaders. One such claim was made by Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who argued that Europe 'unequivocally' has the ability to defend itself without US support.

The claim coincided with the Finnish leader's assertion that a " new world order" is rising with the UN at the helm.

(...)

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte dumped some cold water on the Davos delusion this week during a Brussels press conference covering heightened tensions over Greenland.  He stated clearly that Europe has no chance of defending itself without US support."

🇪🇺🤝🇮🇳❌🇺🇸 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Trump-Era Uncertainty Lingers: EU-India Deal Quietly Seeks To Redraw Global Trade Map Without US | January 27, 2026:

"Update(1620ET): EU officials have describe the new EU-India agreement, after many years of negotiations, as one of the most ambitious trade pacts the bloc has ever negotiated, significantly lowering India's historically high tariff barriers. Brussels estimates tariffs will be eliminated or reduced on nearly all EU exports to India, while Indian goods gain preferential access to European markets. Also, as we highlighted below there will be a one-way tech migration track into Europe as a result, but few are highlighting this aspect.

The agreement spans key sectors including manufacturing, machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, autos, and select agricultural products, with tariff cuts phased in over several years rather than immediate removal. Sensitive sectors on both sides are excluded, ostensibly to protect domestic producers.

Beyond trade, the deal is positioned as a geopolitical signal: the EU is diversifying supply chains and reducing reliance on a tariff-heavy, increasingly unilateral global order (read: Trump) , while India strengthens ties with Europe amid "shifting" - to put it delicately - Washington trade priorities.

We would like to bring to your attention the bellow interview segment - the initial take of Managing Director of This Is Dubai Michael Jabri-Pickett:

It is the nuts and bolts... but for the commentators amongst us what we find are the broad strokes... and I think that there's an awful lot of nations and blocs looking at the unpredictability vs. the stability... America however,... there are decision that are being made without America. We had Canada and China, we have the British Prime Minsiter who's also going to China, we have this deal which has been 20 years in the making, and now you have a combined 25% of global trade now because of these 27 countries and India (and their 1.4 billion people)... and it's changing the entire dynamics because markets and CEO's love stability.

And the trouble that Donald Trump has created is not just for Americans today perhaps, or for even Americans in the next 4 or 5 years, it's for a generation or two. Because the fear is not just that Donald Trump has done this, it's that the next person could come in and be equally unpredictable in a completely different way. And then the person after that, the same thing. And so you would probably need a run of two or three presidents to be consistent and stable for the world the recognize 'oh America is acting the way we would expect them to act.'"

"Denmark has sent a Soviet ship to Greenland - it will become a floating barracks for 150 soldiers

Despite US President Donald Trump's promise not to annex Greenland by force, Denmark is increasing its military presence in the Arctic. In recent times, hundreds of Danish soldiers have been transferred from the mainland to the Far North, and new ones are expected to arrive. The island's capital, Nuuk, is already overcrowded, and the Danish army is forced to accommodate soldiers mainly in hotels and holiday apartments. But this should soon end.

According to BILD, the cruise ship Ocean Endeavour is due to anchor off Nuuk at the weekend and become a floating barracks for 150 Danish soldiers. According to Vesselfinder, the 1762-tonne colossus set off for the Arctic from Wismar (Germany) on January 23rd.

In response to a request from BILD, the Danish army confirmed:

“A portion of the Danish and international soldiers who will participate in the Arctic Endurance exercises in Greenland next year will be accommodated on the ship Ocean Endeavour from the beginning of February. The hotel ship will be located in the port of Nuuk.”

The hotel ship was rented to avoid putting an additional strain on Nuuk's housing stock:

“In this way, the troops will be able to live in good conditions without the need for temporary accommodation on land.”

A Soviet ship has sailed into NATO

According to tour operator Polaris Tours, the ship with a reinforced hull was last overhauled in 2014 and has since been used for expeditions in polar waters. Equipment: restaurant, three lounge areas, observation deck, library, sauna, heated outdoor saltwater pool, multi-bed cabins. The cruiser's dimensions: 137 metres long and 21 metres wide.

The ship was put into service in 1982 by the Soviet Far Eastern Shipping Company under the name "Konstantin Simov". Initially, it served as a ferry. After the collapse of the USSR, the "Konstantin Simov" was transformed into Ocean Endeavour. It was owned by the American shipping company SunStone, which put the ship up for sale in October 2025. Now it will become a barracks for NATO soldiers."

"Successes in the Border Area

The "North" Forces Group continues its offensive in the Kharkiv Oblast along the Burluk direction. There are localized gains in several areas.

➡️Near Grafskoye, assault groups managed to capture approximately half of the village, which became possible after advances near Simonovka. Russian units were able to take control of another portion of the forested area.

➡️The enemy is attempting to stabilize the situation by moving reserves into the forested areas near Rubizhne and Bugayevka, where it hopes to delay the advance of Russian Armed Forces along the banks of the Seversky Donets.

➡️East of Vovchansk, amid ongoing fighting for the Vovchanskie Khutors, another small section of the border has become active. Russian attack aircraft advanced from Maryino toward Zybino, occupying part of the large Vershina and Zakaznoye tracts along the border.

➡️On the eastern flank, Russian units advanced near the village of Chugunovka. Several forest belts were taken over there by the Russian Armed Forces, and, according to preliminary data, the Chugunovka border crossing point was also captured.

📌The pace of advance in the Burluk direction is being impacted, among other factors, by the current difficult weather conditions and terrain. Furthermore, large-scale breakthroughs are difficult to achieve when operating in small groups.

"The situation beyond Oskol

It's notorious that the Kupyansky direction continues to be the "champion" in terms of the gap between the actual situation and the bravura reports that continue as if nothing has happened. However, the Russian Armed Forces are still making progress.

➡️ Footage of Russian Armed Forces operating in Kutkovka has emerged from the enemy: while there's no talk of a "cleansing operation," it at least confirms the presence of Russian troops in part of the village.

➡️At the same time, the very fact of reaching this village suggests that the forested areas located between Dvurechnaya and Kutkovka are indeed under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

However, despite some improvements, there's no turning point in the Kupyansk direction. Reports about the alleged "cleansing of Kupyansk-Uzlovaya" and "active fighting for Koshkarovka" are detached from reality: the Russian Armed Forces haven't even reached them, while Aerospace Forces aircraft are actively targeting both villages.

📌 Unfortunately, as colleagues write, the vicious practice of declaring the "liberation" of a village after reaching its outskirts or announcing battles for villages located behind Ukrainian Armed Forces lines has not disappeared. What comes out of this (and how it ends) can be seen in the example of the Seversky direction in 2024.

🇧🇷⚖️⁉️⚠️ — Largest coup d’état in the history of Latin America: With NO restraints and no one to stop it, the president of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Edson Fachin, defends the creation of an international network of courts in "favor of democracy"

➡️ Justice Edson Fachin proposed the creation of an international network of courts under the pretext of protecting democracy. The measure ignores national sovereignty and Brazil’s self-determination. By seeking external support, the Judiciary abandons its constitutional functions to engage in global political coordination. The result is an unchecked power exercised by unelected magistrates who override domestic laws.

💥 This international coordination imposes ideological standardization based on subjective concepts. The network shields judicial decisions from any internal challenge and nullifies political opposition. The system of checks and balances is destroyed when foreign courts validate local abuses. The country becomes subject to a technocratic authoritarianism with no social control or popular vote.

⛓️ The proposal consolidates the STF’s institutional activism and undermines legal certainty. This internationalization of justice sacrifices the independence of the branches of government and the supremacy of the Federal Constitution. Without containment mechanisms, Brazil accelerates toward an authoritarian process in which a transnational robed elite holds absolute hegemony over the will of the nation.

"Battles on the Gaichur River

In the eastern Zaporizhzhia sector, following the liberation of Huliaipole, Russian troops continue to advance on the western bank of the Gaichur River. The enemy, which had been significantly delayed in amassing reserves, did not have time to fully deploy its forces to Huliaipole and is now using them to attempt to infiltrate the Gaichur-Yanchur River interfluve.

➡️This sector, which had previously been quickly traversed by units of the "Vostok" group of forces, now remains an area of ​​heightened activity for small groups. Due to adverse weather conditions and the ongoing nature of the fighting, it is difficult to control every meter of the forest belts—a situation similar to the enemy's.

➡️Fighting continues near Ternovatoye. "Vostok" units are expanding their bridgehead on the western bank of the Gaichur River. However, there is no talk yet of liberating the village: assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces are operating both in the village itself and in the surrounding area.

📌The relative decline in activity by small groups is explained by several factors: weather conditions, the need to reorganize logistics after a lengthy advance, and the delayed deployment of reserves by the enemy. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are using units not deployed in Hulyaipole for counterattacks in other areas of the East Zaporizhzhia and Zaporizhzhia directions.

"Kupyansk Rake

The enemy once again took advantage of the "gift" of false statements—this time about the ongoing cleansing of Kupyansk-Uzlovy.

➡️Following official reports from the area, a Ukrainian officer—the commander of the 413th Separate Rifle Battalion—appeared publicly there. The battalion commander (and battalion commanders rarely personally attend "flag-waving" events) walked past the Zheleznodorozhnik Cultural Center and the Ukrposhta branch on Darvina Street, citing the current date.

➡️Colleagues have already noted that no sounds of combat can be heard in the published footage, and the Ukrainian unit member is wearing neither a helmet nor a bulletproof vest. Furthermore, numerous tracks and ruts are clearly visible in the snow, indicating a fairly calm situation. And all because the nearest stable positions of the Russian Armed Forces are 10 kilometers away or more.

➡️Apparently, these are traces of those very "heavy forces" that, according to today's extremely inept anti-crisis statement, Ukrainian forces allegedly deployed to Kupyansk-Uzlovaya to stabilize the situation.

📌However, the situation is quite clear. In this case, the only hope is that people won't be sent one-way to attempt a refutation. The situation in this direction remains extremely difficult, but not hopeless.

❗️P.S. Yesterday, the entire country's leadership shook hands with the investigation into other false reports: the current Syrian president was declared by the Russian Ministry of Defense to have lost his arm during an assassination attempt almost 10 years ago.
