This Week in the World Affairs Brief

TRUMP WILLING TO BETRAY UKRAINE FOR FALSE PEACE

Trump is at it again. He has gone back to his irrational notion that Putin is his friend and that he and Vlad can impose a “peace deal” on Ukraine that totally favors Russia. How many times does Putin have to show Trump by his ongoing attacks on Ukraine that he is the aggressor here and will stop at nothing short of conquering all of Ukraine (and eventually beyond)? Even this evil peace deal is part of Putin’s plan to regroup, reinforce and attack again when Ukraine can be blamed for some provocation. This week Putin admitted two crucial things: 1) that the current peace proposal was instigated by Trump during their most recent phone call and 2), that he will only negotiate with Trump. What does this tell us? First, that Trump’s desire for “peace at any cost” is what drove him to invite Putin to present what he wants in a Ukraine “deal,” and to accept “whole cloth” what was rejected by all other parties before because it rewards Russia for its aggression. This maniacal fetish to get a “deal” —no matter how unfair and one-sided—tells us volumes about Trump’s bullheaded and egotistical nature. Second, Putin demands that he will only deal with Trump in negotiations because he knows Trump is such a sucker for flattery and deal-making, that he can be easily exploited in face-to-face talks.

Biden’s Airport Betrayal Bombshell

Modernity

The exposé reveals federal agencies were “directed to find airport facilities that could be used as shelters or migrant processing centers,” branding it a “betrayal of historic proportion” that turned terminals into migrant camps. The policy has now, of course, completely vanished under Trump, begging the question: How did they ever deem this sustainable amid endless border surges?

Brazilian Ex-President Bolsonaro Placed In 12-sq Meter Jail Cell To Begin Sentence

ZeroHedge

We detailed Saturday that federal police rushed to his residence to take him out of house arrest, and initiated what's being called a 'preventative arrest' - and he was whisked away to police headquarters in Brasilia. The arrest order issued from the country's top court came hours after his ankle monitor was shown to be violated at 12:08am on Saturday. From there, authorities considered Bolsonaro a flight risk, explaining he is in close proximity to foreign embassies where he might try and gain asylum.

Six Dead As Russian Missiles Pummel Kiev, Even As Trump's Peace Deal Advances

ZeroHedge

The Ukrainian capital was once again pummeled overnight, as Russia unleashed a barrage of at least 22 missiles on the city, in what the Ukrainian minister of energy called a "massive" attack on energy infrastructure. Accompanying this at least 460 drones were sent against various areas of Ukraine, with several reportedly breaching either Moldova or Romania, according to a statement from President Zelensky. By morning, authorities reported at least six killed and another 13 injured in the attacks.

House retirements and resignations are common after holidays. How appealing is it to return to the Capitol when the House spends most of its time voting on censure resolutions or meaningless messaging bills? Meanwhile, government funding runs out again Jan. 30, and House lawmakers are privately acknowledging that there will be another battle with the Senate. And with so many pissed off Republicans in the House, Johnson is facing a slew of discharge petitions on health care, Russia sanctions, and a likely DP to ban stock trading in Congress. Discharge petitions are notably how the rank and file lodge their complaints with leadership - and it's so bad that Johnson has floated the idea of changing House Rules to make it harder to file them.

DOGE Slams Reuters For Pushing "Fake News" On Shutdown Story

ZeroHedge

President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has "disbanded" - or at least that's the narrative Reuters is pushing to start the week, as the globalist left-leaning media outlet tries to rile up the progressive base and claim a victory. Reuters ran with the headline, "Exclusive: DOGE 'doesn't exist' with eight months left on its charter," and recently quoted Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor saying, "That doesn't exist," when asked about DOGE's status.

Actor Anthony Mackie: "We've Been Living Through Death Of American Male For Twenty Years"

ZeroHedge

And with that understanding, it's fair to raise serious questions about the Democratic Party's war on men - and why it exists in the first place. If the goal is to undermine the nation by weakening men, confusing them about their identity, and eroding the foundations that hold the country together, then it becomes alarmingly clear that this agenda is aimed at destabilizing America from within.

The Problem of Fake Science

The Epoch Times

The retracted paper is one of many generated from a huge and well-funded trial of therapeutic drugs used to treat COVID-19. The trial in question was called TOGETHER. It was funded with grants from FTX, the crypto company later shut down for fraud, alongside financial companies holding large pharmaceutical stocks and think tanks funded by the industry that hoped to sell vaccines. If the study was correct, getting the shot would seem like the only option.

Brazilian Police Make 'Preventative Arrest' Of Jair Bolsonaro, Fearing He'll Flee

ZeroHedge

He has been on house arrest, and the 70-year old politician is just days away from starting a stiff 27-year prison sentence - though appeals are expected - but he's now been taken to the headquarters of the federal police in Brasilia. What's being called a 'preventative arrest' warrant was reportedly requested by the police themselves and authorized by the Supreme Court, after which officers came to Bolsonaro's home to arrest him.

NATO Countries Blame Russia As Mystery Drones Keep Buzzing Key European Military Installations

ZeroHedge

In the French border town of Mulhouse, authorities are probing a Nov. 11 incident in which a police officer reported a drone hovering above a police station courtyard shortly before midnight. Moments later, the aircraft maneuvered over a nearby rail depot and filmed a military convoy transporting Leclerc main battle tanks before disappearing. Investigators have yet to track down the device or its operator.

How Trump’s Own Appointees Aided Russiagate Plot Against Him

Real Clear Wire

RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.
