“Even animals can tell enemy from friend by instinct. Yet Arab leaders still see their worst enemies as friends… utter foolishness.”

🇩🇪🇷🇺🇺🇦 Peace in Ukraine depends on Zelensky, — Berliner Zeitung

Russia will agree to end the war if the Ukrainian Armed Forces withdraw from Donbass, the publication writes.

💬"Although Russia's strengthened financial position does indeed reduce its willingness to make concessions, observers — including in Russia — point out that Moscow could still agree to a ceasefire — provided that Kiev fulfills key requirements, such as withdrawing troops from Donbass", — write German journalists.

Is Zelensky ready for painful compromises?

"Now the fate of peace largely depends on Kiev", — diplomats comment.

🇾🇪 The leader of Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badreddine al-Houthi:

“They fight this nation on two fronts — bombs and cultural corruption. One to kill the body, the other to kill the soul.

They want you spineless, trivial, without identity — like cattle, or even more lost. Then they trample you with complete ease.

But Gaza fought with nothing. Hezbollah fought from day one. Iran built a state that bows to no one. Yemen stood firm.

These are the obstacles the Zionist plan never expected.”

“Saudi FM says Iran must uphold Islamic ethics. How remarkable!

Is it Islamic ethics to open your land to America and the Zionist entity to attack Iran?

To bomb Yemen for 10 years — funerals, weddings, hospitals, mosques?”

Gas prices in Asia have risen by almost 33% amid attacks on gas infrastructure in Qatar and Iran, according to the Financial Times.

The Platts JKM benchmark reached $25.412 per million British thermal units, an increase of 32.79% over the day. Earlier, Fitch Ratings warned that a prolonged conflict in the Middle East could lead to rising energy prices, accelerating inflation and a slowdown in the economies of Europe and Asia.

🇸🇮💬🇮🇱 Slovenian PM Flies to Brussels Amid Spy Scandal

Three days before Slovenians vote, Prime Minister Robert Golob abandoned the campaign trail and flew to Brussels to request that the European Commission investigate what his government is calling coordinated foreign interference, with Israeli private intelligence firm Black Cube at the center.

The scandal erupted last week when investigative weekly Mladina and civil society researchers published findings showing that Black Cube co-founder Dan Zorella and retired IDF Major General Giora Eiland flew to Ljubljana on a private jet and met opposition leader Janez Janša months before covert recordings began shaking the election.

➡️The Israeli Visit

On December 22, a private jet landed in Ljubljana at 10:30 a.m. Four passengers went to Trstenjakova Street 8, the SDS party headquarters, where Janša reportedly met them personally.

Slovenia's SOVA intelligence service confirmed the visits. State Secretary for Security Vojko Volk told journalists that the client ordering Black Cube’s services came from within Slovenia.

➡️The Covert Recordings

An anonymous website, anti-corruption2026.com began releasing covertly filmed material showing figures from Golob's coalition apparently suggesting ways to influence decision-makers in Golob’s government to expedite procedures or secure contracts.

Targets said they were lured under false pretenses to meetings with people posing as foreign investors, a documented Black Cube method involving fully operational fictitious companies, false identities, and secret recordings.

Black Cube’s co-founder was convicted in Romania in 2022 for attempting to discredit Laura Kövesi, then head of Romania’s anti-corruption agency.

➡️Janša’s Response

Janša did not deny knowing the visitors. Pressed about the Black Cube allegations, he first downplayed the information and then acknowledged knowing at least one of the individuals for some time. In a recent pre-election TV debate, he said he talked to him about the "situation in the Middle East," adding that the person is knowledgeable about the situation.

Initially, SDS claimed it had never heard of Black Cube. Later, the party suggested that if the firm truly exposed corruption on such a scale, a monument should be erected in Ljubljana to honor it.

There is also a geopolitical dimension. Golob's government recognized Palestinian statehood in June 2024, banned goods from Israeli-occupied territories, and barred far-right ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich from entering Slovenia. Janša's SDS, by contrast, consistently backs Israel, opposed the Palestine recognition, and launched a parliamentary Israel caucus in 2025, pledging to reverse Golob’s policy if returned to power.

Who financed this operation remains unanswered. Janša has not responded.

➡️EU Response

At the EU summit, Golob urged the Commission to refer the matter to the European Centre for Democratic Resilience. French President Emmanuel Macron supported him, calling it “clear-cut interference” by third countries.

➡️The Bigger Picture

The recordings may show real corruption, and the figures caught on tape have serious questions to answer. But the mechanics of how this material surfaced — a private firm staffed by ex-Mossad and IDF veterans, a private jet to Ljubljana, a meeting at opposition headquarters, and the newly created site anti-corruption2026.com releasing material timed to the final weeks of a campaign — raise questions that go beyond the content of the tapes themselves. A genuine anti-corruption operation does not typically require a covert Israeli intelligence "private" firm, a sympathetic opposition leader, and an anonymous site.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The U.S. is rushing thousands of Marines and sailors toward the Middle East according to Newsmax, citing sources.

The Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are deploying early from the West Coast, cutting leave short after training. Around 4,000 personnel are aboard three ships, including the USS Boxer, USS Portland, and USS Comstock

A typical Boxer ARG air combat element includes F-35B short-takeoff/vertical-landing fighters, MV-22 Osprey tiltrotors, CH-53E Super Stallion heavy lift helicopters, AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters, and UH-1Y Venom utility helicopters.

They are heading to reinforce forces in the region, alongside the USS Tripoli, which is also en route. More ships are expected to follow, bringing the total to roughly 8,000 troops, including up to 5,000 Marines.

The buildup comes amid speculation Washington may target Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf that are key to Iran’s oil infrastructure.

At the same time, the USS Ford carrier has been pulled back for repairs after a fire.

🐻 Trump says he doesn't need anyone's help and the war is won. The Marine Corps is apparently still getting the memo.

🇺🇸💲Trump's hand-picked Fine Arts Commission has approved a 24-karat gold commemorative coin with Trump's face on it, to celebrate 250 years of American democracy.

No living president has ever appeared on US currency. Federal law actually prohibits it. But this is a "collector's coin," so technically....

The commission that approved this was appointed by the man on the coin. Truly, no notes. The founding fathers would love this.
