Evidence Points To Ukraine Being Behind TurkStream Attempted Sabotage (To No One's Surprise)
Via Remix News,
Secret service documents allegedly prove that the Ukrainians planned to blow up the Turkish and Blue Stream pipelines years ago, permanently cutting Europe off from cheap Russian gas, reports Magyar Nemzet, citing a report out of Ellenpont.
However, Serbia's intelligence chief is denying that Ukrainians were the perpetrators, instead claiming that they had reports of a possible attack planned by a certain migrant gang group of radical muslims but had not considered it legitimate intel.
However, this same chief also does not rule out that Ukraine was the contractor behind the scheme.
The Serbian section of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline was set on fire in a sabotage operation on Sunday.
Since this pipeline supplies Hungary with gas, blowing up the pipeline would have put the country's gas supply at risk.
The portal also reported that, in response to the explosives found near the T...

Putin Reportedly Offers To Cut Iran Intel-Sharing If US Does Same In Ukraine
Moscow has been accused by top officials in the White House and in Congress of expanding its intelligence-sharing with Iran amid the now three-week-long war involving the US and Israel. Russia has even been accused of handing over targeting information, allegedly assisting in Iranian ballistic missile attacks on US bases and radar sites as well as sensitive assets in the region.
Russia hasn't confirmed that it is doing this, and has issued a meager official denial - but it also hasn't taken serious steps to convince Washington otherwise. The Kremlin is perhaps relishing in the idea of doing to the US in Iran precisely what the US is doing to Russia in Ukraine - making the operation harder, more costly, and setting up for potential quagmire.
On Friday Politico is reporting on a possible quid pro quo offer: "Moscow proposed a quid pro quo to the U.S. under which the Kremlin would stop sharing intelligence info...

Five Insights Into The Trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US Talks
Authored by Andrew Korybko,
Russia's agreement to this format represents a significant policy shift.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the second round of the trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US talks in Abu Dhabi will be held on 1 February.
There haven't been many leaks from the first round so observers can only speculate about the subject and significance of this new format.
Nevertheless, it's still possible to intuit some insight into this based on what's known and has been reported, thus enabling folks to obtain a better understanding of this latest development. What follows are five important points:
1. Territory Is Reportedly The Last Remaining Issue
Putin's top aide Yuri Ushakov said on the eve of the first round of talks that “bringing about a lasting settlement would be unlikely without addressing the territorial issue based on the formula as agreed in Anchorage.” This was followed by US Secretary of S...

Viele Anleger sind von KI fasziniert und haben die Aktienkurse vor allem der Hauptakteure in die Höhe getrieben. Inzwischen fragen immer mehr Anleger, ob es sich hierbei um eine Blase handelt und wann diese platzt. Tatsächlich gibt es ernst zu nehmende Warnsignale. Dies gilt vor allem für die zunehmenden Abhängigkeiten und Verflechtungen der Unternehmen untereinander. Die Befürchtung ist, dass die Unternehmen durch gegenseitige Lieferverträge ihre Umsätze aufblähen. Wechselseitige Beteiligungen erhöhen das systemische Risiko, weil die Zukunft vieler Unternehmen dadurch aneinander gekoppelt wird.. --- Die hohen Bewertungen der KI-Aktien sehen wir dagegen weniger kritisch --- Alles in allem dürfte die Unabhängigkeit der FED deutlich sinken. Die Fed wird die Geldpolitik wohl stärker lockern, als es die ökonomischen Daten rechtfertigen. Wir rechnen damit, dass sie den Leitzins bis zum Jahresende auf nur 2,5% senken wird.. --- Fällt der Aufschwung in Deutschland aus? --- Droht eine Staatsschuldenkrise in der EU?..

Modern Warfare: Lessons From Ukraine
Authored by Adam Sharp via DailyReckoning.com,
Before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, we had very little insight into what modern warfare would look like.
How would hypersonic and cruise missiles perform?
What impact would drones have on the battlefield?
How important is artillery in modern warfare?
How relevant are tanks?
And what about electronic warfare?
All these questions have been answered by this war.
Today let's review what we've learned so far. The future of war is looking more science-fiction by the day.
Drones are Key
The soldier, with a GoPro camera strapped to his helmet, hides in an abandoned building. He's breathing heavily.
Suddenly, the loud whir of a drone appears. The soldier whispers a prayer and takes cover.
BOOM! The drone explodes nearby. Screaming from a wounded soldier erupts.
I've seen this situation play out dozens of times. For both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers.
It's a terrifying scenario. Sometimes I'll see a video ...

Trump Approves Giving Ukraine Intel For Missile Strikes Deep Inside Russia
The Kremlin is downplaying reports out of the Wall Street Journal and Reuters which cite unnamed US officials to say the Trump White House has quietly reversed policy on providing Ukraine with intelligence to assist in hitting long-range targets on Russian territory. The entrenched narrative is that the US under Trump had resisted this, and that it was Biden who had really put in place the American intelligence-sharing apparatus in Ukraine.
Specifically, as The Wall Street Journal reports, "The U.S. will provide Ukraine with intelligence for long-range missile strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure, American officials said, as the Trump administration weighs sending Kyiv powerful weapons that could put in range more targets within Russia."
But Moscow's response has been unexpectedly calm and cool, with a statement describing that nothing in fact has change, highlighting that US intelligence had alread...

Bolton Attacks Trump For 'Utterly Incoherent' Ukraine Policy Days After FBI Raid
Former national security adviser John Bolton has gone after President Trump, blasting his Ukraine strategy as "incoherent" in an opinion piece published Monday, just a few days after federal agents raided his Maryland home and D.C. office over the handling of classified documents.
"President Donald Trump's Ukraine policy is no more coherent today than it was last Friday when his administration executed search warrants against my home and office," Bolton said in Washington Examiner.
Bolton's op-ed title went all-in: "Trump's utterly incoherent Ukraine strategy." He wrote that "Collapsing in confusion, haste, and the absence of any discernible meeting of the minds among Ukraine, Russia, several European countries, and America, Trump's negotiations may be in their last throes, along with his Nobel Peace Prize campaign."

Vance Says US 'Done Funding Ukraine War' - Demands Europe Step Up
Vice President JD Vance stated on Sunday that Washington will no longer directly fund the purchase of weapons for Ukraine amid the seeminglyl never-ending war with Russia, and expressed hope that Europe would step up.
"We're done with the funding of the Ukraine war business. We want to bring about a peaceful settlement to this thing," Vance told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures".
"Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars of this particular conflict but if the Europeans want to step up and actually buy the weapons from American producers we're OK with that, but we're not going to fund it ourselves anymore," the vice president continued.
So while this seems a step in the right direction of finding peace settlement, his comments still signify a White House greenlight of sorts to keep the proxy war going.
Already this more 'indirect' system of supplyin...
