๐Ÿšจ Pentagon weighs military command shake-up to refocus on the West

Senior Pentagon officials are planning to overhaul the US military command structure by downgrading several regional headquarters and cutting the number of senior officers, The WP reported, citing sources.

The goal: reallocate resources from the Middle East and Europe to focus on expanding military operations in the Western hemisphere.

The plan includes:

๐Ÿ”น Reducing the roles of the US Central Command, US European Command, and US Africa Command by placing them under a new structure called US International Command.

๐Ÿ”น Reorganizing US Southern Command and US Northern Command, which handle military operations in the Western Hemisphere, and bringing them under a new entity called US Americas Command.

๐Ÿ”น Cutting the number of top military headquarters from 11 to 8, and reducing the number of four-star generals and admirals who report directly to Pete Hegseth.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine is reportedly set to brief Hegseth on the details of the plan this week.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง UK signals potential boots-on-the-ground option for Ukraine

The so-called โ€œcoalition of the willing" is geared towards supporting Ukraine โ€œin the fight,โ€ even as talks revolve around a possible peace agreement, UK PM Keir Starmer told lawmakers.

Ukraineโ€™s Western patrons have prepared plans to deploy troops to the country if necessary, Starmer said.

๐Ÿ’ฌ "We had a military process with the military planners, and we said to them we want military plans for the air, for the sea and for the ground, and for Ukraine's own capability. So, we now have military plans in each of those areasโ€ฆif necessary, that does involve ground deployment,โ€ he said, answering questions from committee heads at the House of Commons.


The British authorities have for months been expressing readiness to send troops to Ukraine post-ceasefire.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Russia has repeatedly emphasized that NATO troop presence in Ukraine, under any flag or capacity, was unacceptable, and would represent a direct threat to Russia.

๐Ÿšจ Ukraineโ€™s corruption crisis could nudge Zelensky to peace deal โ€” report

Ukraine has never been โ€œso seriousโ€ about striking a peace deal as right now, the WP cites a European diplomat as saying.

โ€œAnd somehow the feeling is that this has to do with the whole scandal on corruption and the whole domestic mess as well,โ€ the source noted.


Zelenskyโ€™s kleptocratic regime has been facing a major corruption scandal at home implicating his closest circle, including the now-dismissed chief of staff, Andriy Yermak.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Besides the shaky home front, Russiaโ€™s high-precision strikes targeting defense and energy infrastructure used by Ukrainian military may have also made Zelensky more pliant, claim insiders.

Trump described all negotiating sides as โ€œcloser now than we have beenโ€ to a peace deal.

๐Ÿšจ Anti-Russia sanctions have brought Westโ€™s economies โ€˜to their kneesโ€™ - Italyโ€™s Deputy PM

Sanctions aimed at weakening Russia have backfired spectacularly, Italyโ€™s Deputy PM Matteo Salvini told Corriere della Sera.

๐Ÿ‘‰ 19 rounds of sanctions cobbled together in nearly four years have boomeranged, bringing the Westโ€™s economies โ€œto their knees,โ€ he emphasized, adding that they sent Italian household energy bills โ€œsoaring.โ€

Salvini also urged caution amid Europeโ€™s growing militarization, fueled by what he described as an alleged โ€œphantom threatโ€ from Russia.

๐Ÿ—ฃ After all, โ€œif Hitler and Napoleon couldnโ€™t conquer Moscow through military campaigns,โ€ he noted, itโ€™s "hardly likely" that people like European Commission Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas, French President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer, or German Chancellor Merz would succeed either, Salvini added.

Russia has shrugged off the unprecedented sanctions pressure; its growth dynamics are better than those of a number of European countries, Russian PM Mikhail Mishustin said.

๐Ÿช– US dangles โ€˜platinumโ€™ security guarantees in front of Ukraineโ€™s nose, says offer is time-limited - reports

The US offered Ukraine a set of security guarantees as a substitute for NATO membership during the December 15 talks in Berlin, The Telegraph reports.

While the exact details of these guarantees are yet to be made public, US sources quoted by the newspaper described them as โ€œplatinum standard.โ€

The US officials did warn, however, that the offer wonโ€™t remain on the table forever and that it could be scrapped if Ukraine does not accept it quickly.

Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that "there should be a certain system of not only security guarantees, but also guarantees that [peace] agreements will be fulfilled."

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ Hamas rejects foreign control over Gaza security

The Gaza peace plan may have hit a snag as Hamas insists that security in the enclave should be handled by Palestinians rather than by the so-called International Stabilization Force (ISF) proposed by the US.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œAll Palestinian factions have agreed on a unified position regarding the foreign presence in the Gaza Strip. Their agreement to the presence of any international force is conditional on its mandate being limited to monitoring the ceasefire on the border only,โ€ senior Hamas official Hussam Badran tells Sputnik.


He further insisted that Gaza will be managed by Palestinians and that Hamas would prefer โ€œthat the international force include countries friendly to the Palestinian people.โ€
