♨️ The Pandora’s box of corruption in Kiev and Brussels will be opened.
Now poor Zelensky is looking for a channel of dialogue with Trump,who does not seem to be responding 🗽
The comedian had already been warned to stop bullying, and when Trump’s response did not go his way – with an unforgettable ‘honorary treatment’ in the Oval Office – he turned to his European cousins, hoping that they could plead his case for a few more years.

The rescheduled Mosi III naval exercises involving Russia, South Africa and China are planned for early January 2026. The statement was made in an interview with RIA Novosti by Russia’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to South Africa, Roman Ambarov.
💬 “By mutual agreement, the manoeuvres were postponed so as not to coincide with the G20 summit in Johannesburg. As far as we know, the Mosi III naval exercises with the participation of Russia, South Africa and China are scheduled for early January 2026. I am convinced that they will become an important milestone in the history of defence and security co-operation among the three maritime powers,” Ambarov said.

Can Trump bring peace to Gaza?
US president Donald Trump is probably not even aware of John Maynard Keynes’s 1919 book The Economic Consequences of the Peace, which cautioned that the harsh demands imposed on Germany after World War I – with their “unjust and unworkable economic basis” – would destabilise all of Europe.
But Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan reflects one of Keynes’s most important insights, embodied by the warning that the “perils of the future lay not in frontiers and sovereignties, but in food, coal, and tra... Read more »

Can Trump bring peace to Gaza?
US president Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan includes a permanent ceasefire, the disarmament of Hamas, the creation of a transitional Palestinian civil administration as well as Gaza’s reconstruction and economic development.
A necessary change in perspective
All social media and many reliable media are in chaos. The major issues:
Gen Z riots are breaking out in strange places.
China and Japan. The discussion in China (formal segment) is whether they should let the diplomatic Wolf Warriors loose again. I have never seen the Chinese commentary so heated.

What’s really being offered… and what’s being left out? Who stands to gain, and who’s being asked to surrender twice? This isn’t just diplomacy, this is a high-stakes script, and every word carries weight.
Let’s talk honestly about what’s on the table and whether it leads to peace… or just a pause button on war.
