rising socio-economic stratification in Russia.
"Unfortunately, their war is a destroyed house in the Dnieper. And this is their only strategy: they will not show anything new. Except for one thing: for the first time in 10 months of the war, I believe with confidence

that they will soon begin local socio-economic unrest. Not yet global, namely local riots. Therefore, they need to scare us with something, "says the expert.
1/Europe needs its own army because security cannot depend on elections in another country.
The United States can change course overnight. Europe cannot afford strategic whiplash.

2/ NATO is vital — but NATO is political.
A European army is not anti-NATO. It is insurance against paralysis, vetoes, and U.S. domestic chaos.

🧵 Thread: Greenland Will NOT Be Bought — Not by Denmark. Not by the U.S. 🇬🇱🔥
Follow & RT — this is global resistance. 👇 1/ 🇬🇱 “We do not want to be Americans. We do not want to be Danes. We want to be Greenlanders.”
All five political parties in Greenland’s parliament united to throw down at Trump’s imperial threats. Every. Single. One. time.com/7345221/trump-…
2/ Trump’s response to sovereignty isn’t diplomacy — it’s bullying. He says the U.S. “needs” Greenland and could take it “the hard way” if not peaceful. This isn’t security. It’s colonial entitlement. time.com/7344147/greenl…
3/ Greenland isn’t a pawn — it’s a nation in formation. Decades of self-rule, a valid legal path to independence since 2009, and a people demanding their own destiny. altinget.se/artikel/juridi…
1/ 🧭 Greenland Crisis Timeline (Jan 2026)
🗓️ Jan 5–6, 2026
Donald Trump revives his demand that the U.S. must control Greenland, calling it an “absolute necessity” for American security.
He states the U.S. will act “one way or another” — language interpreted as coercive.
🗓️ Jan 7, 2026
European media and analysts warn the rhetoric amounts to imperial pressure on a NATO partner.
The Guardian publishes an analysis outlining U.S. options — including force — triggering alarm across Europe.
2/ 🗓️ Jan 8, 2026
European Union leadership states clearly:
“Greenland belongs to its people. Sovereignty is not negotiable.”
EU officials emphasize that any forced takeover would violate international law.
🗓️ Jan 9, 2026
Giorgia Meloni publicly rules out any U.S. military action on Greenland, warning it would damage NATO and Arctic stability.
On the same day, Greenland’s largest labor union issues a blunt response:
“We are not for sale.”
Greenlandic political parties across the spectrum echo the rejection.
3/ 🗓️ Jan 9–10, 2026
Denmark escalates diplomatically.
Danish officials warn privately and publicly that any seizure of Greenland would effectively end NATO unity.
Emergency diplomatic talks with Washington are confirmed.
🔎 Why This Matters:
• Greenland is not disputed territory — it is self-governing under Denmark.
• Threats against it set a precedent identical to Russia’s logic toward Ukraine.
• A forced move would be the first attempt in modern NATO history to seize allied territory.
• Arctic militarization would accelerate dramatically, involving Russia and China.
1/ 🇷🇺 Putin is silent — and the silence is loud.
After the U.S. removed Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, Moscow said almost nothing.
No emergency speech.
No strong response.
Just… silence.
That tells us more than any statement ever could. 🧵👇
2/ This is a strategic humiliation for Russia.
Venezuela was a Russian ally.
So was Iran — until the U.S. struck its nuclear infrastructure.
So was Syria — until Assad’s regime collapsed.
Russian “strategic partnerships” now mean nothing.
3/ Why couldn’t Moscow respond?
Because Ukraine consumes everything.
Russia’s war has drained its military, industry, and attention.
Maduro asked for drones, missiles, radar.
The Kremlin had to say no.
Russia can barely sustain Donbas — let alone project power globally.
2/ Just days earlier, the region came under a massive strike involving Shahed-type attack drones, kyivindependent.com/tag/drones/
ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.
The city, home to one million residents, was plunged into near-complete darkness on Dec. 13, with hundreds of thousands of residents left without electricity, while water and heating services became scarce.
“The emergency situation that arose as a result of the enemy's massive attack on the energy infrastructure has acquired the status of a state-level emergency,” Odesa Oblast Governor Oleh Kiper wrote on Dec. 17.
Some residents have remained without electricity to this day.
