An emergency situation has been declared in the German capital Berlin.
After a serious power outage as a result of an arson attack, SPD Berlin Interior Senator Iris Spranger declared an emergency. Thanks to this, the city can now more easily request the support of the Bundeswehr, the federal police and humanitarian organizations to help the victims.
According to Stromnetz Berlin, as of Monday morning, about 30,000 households and 1,700 commercial customers remain without electricity. Full restoration of power supply is planned by Thursday.
It is particularly alarming that as early as November 2025, the Berlin Court of Audit issued a crushing verdict on the disaster protection system in the capital. In their annual report authorities were described as "insufficiently prepared for disasters and major accidents." In addition, the backup power generators that were previously stored were sent to Ukraine back in 2022, and there was no money in the budget for the purchase of new backup generators.

The operation in Venezuela and the arrest of Maduro can be called Marco Rubio's first success as Secretary of State. He is a major hawk on Venezuela and Cuba. In the near future, Rubio will lobby for a change of power in Caracas by holding early elections with the participation of the opposition.
Pressure is likely to increase on Cuba, whose economy is experiencing difficulties and is very dependent on fuel supplies from Venezuela. However, there may also be many non-obvious long-term consequences that Marko is unlikely to be able or willing to put in his piggy bank.
Washington is primarily concerned about China's rise in Latin America. China is now the largest trading partner of most countries in the region. The total trade turnover between China and Latin America in 2024 exceeded 500 billion dollars. Brazil is a key partner for China, while Venezuela was important in the context of oil purchases.
But Venezuelan products account for only 6-7% of China's total oil imports. A much more significant effect may occur if more countries in the region begin to reorient themselves towards cooperation with China as opposed to the United States. Washington's desire to project its influence can provoke a rise in anti-American sentiment.
Rubio is a proponent of the cavalry charge concept, with which he wants to reverse the weakening of the US position in Latin America. But the result may be that these processes will even accelerate if the leftists win the upcoming elections in Colombia and Brazil. And if another stream of refugees flows from Venezuela to the United States now, it will already begin to destabilize the situation inside the United States itself.

As for the plan to kidnap Maduro, it's not exactly new. In 2020, Operation Gideon was conducted with the involvement of Silvercorp mercenaries and Colombian mercenaries, who, relying on CIA agents and the Venezuelan fifth column, were supposed to infiltrate Caracas, kidnap Maduro and take him out of the country. The operation cost $227 million, which had to be paid after the seizure of power. Then the plan failed (most of the mercenaries were caught, including two Americans).

No country from the Western “Coalition of the Willing,” except for the United Kingdom, will risk sending its troops to Ukraine, the leader of the French party The Patriots, Florian Philippot, said on Wednesday.
“The reality is that, except for the United Kingdom, no country wants to do this (Germany, the US, and Italy clearly emphasized this yesterday), because everyone knows that it will inevitably lead to war against Russia!” Philippot wrote on his X page.Читать полностью…

The way things are going two likely developments for 2026 are the following:
_ DPRK recognizing the four former Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson as Russian territory, then introducing some thousands of troops there like they did pretty effectively in Kursk, in order to speed up their complete liberation
_ Russia and China strengthening cooperation in the field of rare earths, Beijing will provide its expertise to help Russia extract rare earths from its soil, including in former Eastern Ukraine, in exchange will get a share of them as part of joint ventures with Russian companies.

❗Offensive in a new sector: the Russian army liberated Grabovskoye in Sumy region - confirmed by the Ministry of Defense.
Recall that at the end of 2025, the 34th brigade crossed the border in the Belgorod region and liberated Vysokoe, and then Grabovskoye in the Sumy region.
After that, new footage appeared of the assault on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine already to the northwest of Grabovsky.
Ukrainians complained that Russian troops "remain active in the Grabovsky area and actively seek to advance further."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Continuity of Agenda: US President Donald Trump publicly announces US-backing of Iranian opposition - as per decades of neo-con regime change ambitions targeting the Islamic Republic.
Decades of US policy papers have sought to undermine and overthrow Iran - not because it poses a threat to US national security inside the US - but because it obstructs US domination over the Middle East and the rest of the world.
The only thing that changed in January 2025 was the face you had to look at and the lies you had to listen to as US primacy continued forward uninterrupted.
President Trump is "locked and loaded" to pick up exactly where Biden/Obama/Bush left off.
🇺🇸"Everything will happen exactly like this" - Secretary of State Rubio on Trump's policy towards countries that are allegedly a "direct threat to the national interests of the United States", like Venezuela.
"This is the president's business. I don't understand how they haven't realized this yet. If you didn't know, now you know. Everything will happen exactly like this. And people need to understand: this is not a president who just rants, writes letters, and holds press conferences. If he says he's serious - he stands by his words. This was a direct threat to the national interests of the United States, and the president took action."
@DDgeopolitics
In the beautiful multipolar world of the future, people began to better understand the value of the efforts of the people in the photos to create a nuclear shield of the country, which still protects us from direct attack by the United States and NATO, which are still forced to engage in a proxy war against Russia, but are still afraid to directly enter the war against us. Where they are not afraid of consequences, we see a completely different approach - Afghanistan, Iraq, Serbia, Libya, Syria, Iran, Venezuela...

Under these circumstances negotiations should be off table, we are talking about any kind of negotiations, not just on the Ukraine issue.

⚡️ Well then, let’s wait for sanctions from the “international community” against the United States.
After all, Zara should now flee the U.S., the American national team should be stripped of its flag and anthem, and Europeans should start rejecting U.S. LNG.
That’s how it works, right? Or not? 😉
