Now we are reminding about paid subscription again to save the environment and counteract the rise of the world’s oceans, which primarily threatens the Netherlands.
It will cost you 80 SEK/month to save the Dutch from drowning, and the children in Rotterdam deserve a life on land.
We refer back to the latest post and that Trump/USA is doing things that are good for the USA (but bad for everyone else).
JanW may need to clarify, but China imports a large part of Venezuela’s and Iran’s oil, and Iran is on the verge of falling soon – take that in, the cradle of Islamism is about to be liberated, which will have positive repercussions worldwide.
Shahen is at Heathrow with a one-way ticket burning in his pocket, and he has urged the residents to reclaim the country with peaceful violence, which seems to be working. The citizens have democratically burned down administrative buildings and mosques, and lynched the security services when they get hold of them in their struggle for eternal peace and happiness.
Information is scarce and there are many influence operations, but I think one can interpret that the citizens have had enough and are fighting back?
Don’t forget to scold all demonstrators you see in the coming weeks waving the flag of dictatorship – they deserve to hear it.
Private flights have started to leave, which has been logged on flightradar, and credible media are discussing Khomeini’s escape plan (which of course could be an influence operation).
If China, Iraq, or Russia were to start sending in security forces and it doesn’t work out, Israel and the USA are ready to assist in removing Khomeini – it’s difficult to interpret this differently and probably the reason why the USA has built up a lot of capability in Europe and MENA in the past week.
The wings of history – a real biggie this time, and one rejoices with the citizens of Iran that after many years they are finally able to cast off the shackles of Islamism and become free again. It is also rumored that the leftists in Iran have learned their lesson and will not try to help radical Islamists come to power again for at least five years.
This is likely to happen quickly, and since the shah is already introduced, there won’t be political chaos, and we hope he has clean hands. Is the West approaching the lifting of all sanctions – what a defeat for Putin and Xi 🤣🤣🤣
The USA has also been involved in Nigeria recently, and China also buys their oil.
Iran 16%, Venezuela 4.5%, Nigeria not so much.
Saudi accounts for around 20%, USA 2%, and Russia 20%.
China has suffered a strategic loss in one fell swoop, and the question is whether they will be able to bring down the dollar after this because China’s rhetoric has been tough since 2025, and they are well on their way in their preparations to attack Taiwan.
To clarify – Venezuela is not for Trump to make money tomorrow, but he is denying China the oil + building up a supply for the USA, albeit in Venezuela.
How much oil do you think Russia will manage to export to China in 2026 amidst Ukraine’s drones?
Could Saudi be persuaded to export less to China?
Hello China, how does it feel to have a noose around your neck?
Internally in the USA, Trump is cracking down hard on corruption and laxity, but he is targeting D-led states, and ICE is becoming an interesting group where they recruit individuals with a history of violence and give them expanded powers – not the first time this has been done, and one almost expects them to start dressing in black…
Then he openly favors himself and his own – all his market-influencing statements where “someone” placed a billion-dollar order on the stock exchange an hour before are revealing.
Yes, the USA, like Europe, has suffered from governments that have not tackled rampant crime, corruption, and have chosen to dilute security systems and buy votes and support with tax money, with some groups quick to jump on board because they bring with them work experience.
Russia is certainly not without blame in this…
Europe is in a worse state than the USA, and welfare corruption, the infiltration of gangs and criminal clans in civil society, and the increasing crime ARE major societal problems that left-of-center governments have been unwilling to address.
Unfortunately, when the pendulum swings too far in the other direction, it leads to more authoritarian governments, but the opportunity to prevent this was 10-15 years ago when incumbent governments began to misbehave.
China, USA, Russia will push on as long as they can, and we are back to the Cold War where they must position themselves against each other, and weak countries are swallowed up and get leaders loyal to those who managed to coup them.
What do you think all the countries in South America will dare to do when the USA demands governments friendly to them, first dibs on all natural resources, and trade agreements that only benefit the USA.
Venezuela was the country with the strongest defense force and the strongest Russian and Chinese support among the countries there that opposed the USA.
How is Russia faring in Ukraine – they are well on their way to losing the war, but the USA wants a controlled loss, we know that.
So now it is up to Europe to wholeheartedly support Ukraine so that Russia collapses completely and is divided into about ten new countries, despite the fact that the USA and Trump do not want it.
Ukraine has the humanitarian, international, and divine right, and we do too. If we are ever to stand up against the USA, it is now – we get vindication for a whole Cold War caused by Roosevelt.
Belarus would have already fallen and will definitely be swept up in this new wave of dictatorship that has begun to spread – we welcome them into the EU (with some controls because they are crafty).
Kaliningrad will also be demilitarized without us breaking too many rules and laws.
After that, Europe has erected a strategic bulwark against Russia, which has plagued us for hundreds of years, and we could begin the journey to become a better version of the USA.
Can we do this?
The pressure from China, Russia, and the USA will be enormous, but strong leaders have begun to take their place in governments throughout Europe, so there is a chance that the cowards are out.
Together with Ukraine, Europe has a choice to make, which Ukraine is making for us, generous as they are, and that is whether we want to be a power player in the next hundred years or if we let the USA, Russia, and China divide and suppress us.
Since the USA practically cannot prevent Russia’s collapse, we have been given the first half for free by Ukraine – we just need to take the final two steps, snatch the puck from Ukraine and push it into the goal while Ukraine holds the goalkeeper in a stranglehold.
Then, of course, UA will follow with full EU membership, we will arm ourselves to the teeth, remilitarize the border against the Russian hell, and take back all production from China – one must assume that our leaders’ list looks the same, otherwise it is dereliction of duty.
We should turn towards Africa with FAIR trade agreements immediately, maybe half of Africa’s countries will bite and that will be enough.
The bright future of Europe is mainly due to a very simple mathematical formula – dictatorships have always resorted to war economies when things start heating up, and the free world can sustain war on a peace economy for quite a while, so they endure the longest.
Russia has just discovered this unsolvable mathematical problem, and China will face the same fate.
They get points for boldness, but they did not win.
If we now believe that there won’t be a global conflict – it’s hard to answer that, there will probably be more, but the major power struggle between the USA and China in Asia may not happen?
In 2022 and 2023, I believed that the conflict in Ukraine was of such high intensity that Western arms factories were working at full capacity, and it could be enough for our current global conflict, and that the wildfire could be extinguished.
Then in 2025, I felt that it had gone too far – that the global conflict was inevitable.
Russia keeps refusing peace all the time, but I think it’s becoming clear that Ukraine is on its way to coming out on top militarily here?
If the USA flexes its muscles now and starts doing things that benefit them, Iran collapses, and the Russian puppet show falls apart in 2026 – maybe that will be enough and the balloon will deflate?
Trump has certainly tried, and I am still surprised that Russia has not carried out sabotage against our power infrastructure or sent in “little green men” to the Baltics, but now it is January 2026, and if it hasn’t happened before summer, it’s game over for them. A mistake I will gladly accept.
Maybe China can be economically broken?
Their very important European market is starting to be denied to them, and the USA is currently holding a jackhammer to their main pillar.
What Europe does or doesn’t do is probably what will determine whether we will enter into that cold war that the USA, China, and Russia are heading towards together.
It started in February 2022 when platoons were completely wiped out to stop the Russian advance towards Kiev, but their sacrifices today in 2025 may soon translate into the world avoiding a global conflict – praise to those who deserve it.
Don't forget to donate, Ukraine's cause is ours! Support Ukraine!
Hello, is anyone here?
No, when mxt and ettan pretend to post two posts on the same day, it messes with your head.
Should this post maybe go as today’s? The 13th, right?
Bal wrote it yesterday while we (I) were sleeping.
Then MXT has probably transferred it to today’s thread. “The one who sins does not sleep” or “the one who sleeps does not sin”. Delete whichever fits best. 😴
I let it go as today’s so we don’t risk anyone missing it.
Interesting and educational post by Johan no 1. It means a lot for Ukraine if the Iranian regime falls because Russia loses another friend. Syria, Venezuela, and Iran so far, had hoped for Kazakhstan as well but it seems like Tokayev doesn’t know which side to choose. South America has had enough of CIA control and wants to manage on their own without US involvement. Therefore, I think the Mercosur agreement with the EU is good. However, there are many protests among farmers and growers in Southern Europe. Also in France and Ireland. Venezuela wanted to join the customs union as well, and Bolivia too. We’ll see how it goes in the future.
Since this post came in late last night, I have boldly changed the date to the 13th and consider it today’s post. If I post a new one today, there is otherwise a risk that many will miss it.
I made some mistakes…

Regarding China and the EU:
“China and the EU state that they have reached an agreement to resolve the dispute over the EU’s import of Chinese electric cars, reports AP.
At the same time, the EU has published a “guidance document” providing Chinese electric car manufacturers with guidelines for pricing commitments upon export, including minimum prices. According to the EU, the significant differences between different types of vehicles require specific minimum prices to be established.
However, the tariffs of up to 35.3 percent that the EU imposed on Chinese electric cars remain in place.”

Europe is far behind, but if even the USA starts to feel threatened, it’s bad. Time to step up the pace.
“American AI giants are falling behind Chinese rivals in growth markets, reports FT.
Microsoft’s CEO Brad Smith warns that US companies are at risk of being overtaken as Chinese Deepseeks technology rapidly gains users outside the Western world. The combination of cheaper open source models and extensive state subsidies gives Chinese players a clear advantage.
– We must realize that China today, unlike a year ago, has competitive open source models – and to an increasing extent more than one, he says.”

Well, it’s like in most sciences, that China has now started to surpass us in the West.
Research in the USA also takes a hit when their fact-resistant regime cuts funding for things that don’t fit their beliefs.
However, it does mean that many researchers are turning to Europe, which is good for us.
“Precision strike by the 413th Regiment – @413_raid @Raid_413 Russian Strela-10 SAM system was located and disabled after a drone hit its missile launch rails. Almost never they stand like that in the field, so the recon group got lucky and the strike drone got there in time!”

Iran
Are they perhaps planning an intervention?
“American citizens in Iran are urged to leave the country immediately if they can. This is stated by the U.S. virtual embassy in Iran on its website.
In the heightened travel warning, American citizens are warned of dangers such as terrorism, kidnappings, and arbitrary arrests.
“Leave Iran now. Have a plan to leave Iran that does not rely on assistance from the U.S. government,” it says.
The website reminds Americans that there is no physical embassy in the country.”

Can Israel really deploy JDAMs in various headquarters and bases?
The pants halfway down or fully fastened.
A boring side effect of the situation in Iran is that oil prices are rising, Crude oil almost up to 60. Brent at 64 and Ural approaching 54.
“❗️At night, drones of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦Ukraine struck a number of targets in the temporarily occupied territories of Mariupol and Makiivka.”

“Russian channel Dva Majors claims drones attacked the Greek-flagged tanker “Delta Harmony” near Novorossiysk, sparking a fire that was later extinguished. They also claim two additional tankers were targeted today.”

Iran
“Iranian government officials state that around 2,000 people have been killed during the protests in the country, including civilians and security forces personnel, reports Reuters. The regime accuses “terrorists” of being behind the killings.
At the same time, significantly higher death tolls are reported by the London-based TV channel Iran International.
The channel claims to have compiled information from a number of sources within the Iranian state apparatus and concluded that at least 12,000 people have been killed by the security forces during the ongoing protests. The figures are described by the channel as a “relatively accurate assessment.”
The Norway-based human rights group Iran Human Rights stated on Monday that at least 648 people have been killed.
Both Iran International and Iran Human Rights, as well as a number of international media organizations, point out that it is very difficult to accurately determine the number of people killed under the current circumstances.”
https://omni.se/uppgifter-12000-kan-ha-dodats-i-iran/a/pBAngE
It became a bit messy with the posts apparently.
Iran – since the regime has now killed thousands and the higher number is probably correct, there will probably be a bloodbath there.
Israel has already given the Iranians addresses to secret weapon depots to even out the odds a bit.
Poor reporting from Western media as usual, the same illness as with Ukraine apparently.
Rena berlinmuren size på Irans frigörelse – helt otroligt 😶
Clean Berlin Wall moment on Iran’s liberation – absolutely incredible 😶
The issue I struggle with is whether the Iranians are Islamophobes and if we should condemn them or not, I can’t navigate this anymore 😐
They are pulling the turbans off the (apparent) holy mullahs and burning down mosques – is that okay?
The Iranian population is mostly not Islamic but has been oppressed in the name of Islam since the Ayatollah took over.
EXACTLY so it is.
However, trying to translate this to how we think in Europe and why the common MENA megaphone is completely silent.
Of course, I already have the answer to that but it never hurts to shed some light.
“At least 12,000 Iranians fighting for freedom have been murdered by the regime. Possibly thousands more. The silence from those who claim to care about human rights is truly deafening.”

If you read the regular Swedish media, Iran is not exactly on the front pages…
And the demonstrations and Twitter choir we have come to recognize with the Palestinian issue, where are they?
You are not the first/only one wondering. It took several days before the riots even appeared on traditional news media. But are we paying well to remain blissfully unaware of the misery?
I have been thinking the same, but now it’s probably starting to climb on the websites.
If I had been Israel and Trump, I would have sent in a B2 or another aircraft that can be denied and made a MEDIUM-sized effort against the IRGC headquarters and bases, headquarters, some symbolic targets, and a few other things to help the demonstrators along.
Then completely stonewall everything and in a month when the demonstrators have won, it’s all over.
Something like that, maximum.
90 million angry Iranians are a formidable opponent 😶
Can someone dump at least 90 million shares and rifles among the masses or will they find themselves with the authorities they have put out of play?
Israel is apparently now doing it, they are providing the address to various weapons advice for the Protestants.

Maybe plan the event for the next Nobel Peace Prize in Nuuk, Greenland?
At a joint press conference with Denmark’s prime minister, Greenland’s Premier Jens‑Frederik Nielsen made clear that the island does not want to join the United States, preferring to remain part of the Kingdom of Denmark while pursuing peaceful cooperation with the U.S. and NATO. Nielsen reiterated that “Greenland is not for sale,” a position explicitly supported by Denmark’s PM Frederiksen.

That’s settled, apparently JD Vance is going to lead the bidding on Greenland in some meeting soon.

⚡️ Coordinated international sanctions have knocked out 20% of Russia’s shadow tanker fleet.
united24media, x
Russian sources now report that no less than 4 tankers of Russia’s shadow fleet have been struck in the Black Sea. Aside from previously reported Delta Harmony (9408463) and Matilda (9407457), the Freud (9804461) and the Delta Supreme (9585895) were also struck. All of those ships are somewhere near the coast of Novorossiysk, Russia. An absolute bad day for Russia’s shadow fleet, but also predictable development. Ukraine has effectively imposed a full embargo of Russian oil.

The Russian masses are not capable of fighting for freedom. We need to understand the psychology of this people. Freedom is not important to them.
Russia can only break up for ECONOMIC REASON❗️
olenawave x
They have never experienced true freedom, and do not know what freedom is, that is why it is not important.
Hmmm, the dictatorship in Iran seems to have switched to live ammunition and replaced the police with IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iraqi militias who are killing citizens at a rapid pace.
Humanitarian reasons exist for an operation to try to dismantle this infrastructure in order to save lives.
Or you wait until the army has had enough and switches sides, it’s probably not very far away.
Disgusting
All have a limit, and the level of violence far exceeds previous protests.
Do we have any small armada of boats on the way to Iran yet?
When I searched for Greta Thunberg – Iran, the only result is that the Iranian dictatorship condemned Israel’s arrest of Greta.
She is really late to the party on this one, and her brand is kind of being the first and the angriest.
It seems like Trump + Israel will do the right thing with Iran, good.
Great opportunity for JAS effort and positioning. No, wait, that position has already been filled with scarves.
