War Reports - 2025-01-22 - Main Report

AOC gives a fiery speech regarding Elon’s salute to Hitler. “We will not bow down to that”.

In solidarity, other prominent Dem’s show their agreement

So, what really happened?

The media is misleading you. Elon Musk never did a Nazi salute. Watch the full video: He simply gestured and said, “Thank you, my heart goes out to you.”

…..

It’s interesting that the MSM suddenly cares about NAZI stuff again.

…..

Note to readers:

I have high hopes for President Trump, and I look forward to seeing a swift end to US involvement in endless wars. While we wait and watch, we’re going to remain on task. The genesis of this blog was the constant lies about Russia coming from the Democrats, NeoCons, and the MSM. I’m going to keep on informing about the war, and I’m not going to limit our sources to non critical ones. The value here is differing viewpoints. Expect some of our usual commentators to be skeptical until they see results. As always, feel free to trash them in the comments if you need to!

Trump just revoked security clearance for the 51 intel agents who lied about Hunter Biden's laptop.

…..

200 or not 200, but Donald Trump signed a lot of papers:

- introduced the death penalty throughout the United States (federal level);

- pardoned all participants in the events of January 6, 2021;

- established that only men and women (boys and girls) live in America again;

- withdrew from the Paris climate agreements and the WHO;

- renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America;

- returned the name of the mountain "Peak McKinley" in Alaska;

- turned on TikTok for 75 days, "until further notice", by the way, he named the number of users in the United States - 170 million.

……

Despite some similarities with previous statements on Ukraine, Donald Trump, signing decrees in the White House, made two, perhaps not immediately readable, but fundamental statements that together give his words additional meaning. (https://t.me/valentinbogdanov/14459)

Firstly, the new US president said that Zelensky is ready to conclude a "deal" with Russia. That is, for the first time he spoke out for Ukraine, with one sweeping gesture, returning it to its real (that is, subordinate) place in diplomatic discourse. Realpolitik.

Secondly, Trump said that the possible timing of the end of the Ukrainian conflict will be clear to him only after a conversation with the President of the Russian Federation. That is, in fact, he admitted that negotiations on the fate of Ukraine can/will/should (modality at your discretion) take place between Moscow and Washington. Even more Realpolitik

No Kyiv, Brussels, the European Union, NATO, the Beer Lovers Party, the League of Sexual Reforms, etc., etc. were mentioned by Trump. But he didn't forget about anti-Russian sanctions, showing that he is ready to be a bad cop. But this is also Realpolitik.

Victor vicktop55

…..

US President Donald Trump, who took office on January 20, signed an executive order to temporarily suspend all US aid programs to other countries for 90 days, AP reports.

(https://t.me/glavmedia/385528)

Reuters clarifies that this refers to aid provided "for international development purposes."

A review will be conducted to determine whether the provision of aid is consistent with the political goals of the new administration.

"No further foreign assistance from the United States will be provided in a manner that is not fully consistent with the foreign policy of the President of the United States," he said.

Victor vicktop55

…..

The minimum goals that Russia must achieve in Ukraine:

1. Stand with troops along the Dnieper;

2. Take Odessa (land route to the PMR);

4. Limit the number and armament of the Ukrainian Armed Forces;

5. Issuance of documents of the SBU and GUR, extradition to Russia of employees of these special services who are involved in terrorist attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation;

6. Extradition of Russian citizens who participated in the war against Russia;

7. Complete withdrawal of Western advisers from the territory not controlled by Russia;

8. Lifting sanctions.

This is the minimum, but what chance do you see that Russia will get this peacefully? There is no chance here. This is despite the fact that even this minimum does not guarantee the start of a new war by Ukraine and the West against Russia for the return of lost territories. Therefore, negotiations and a peace treaty like Minsk or Istanbul are beneficial to everyone except Russia. Right now the question is being decided whether Russia will exist tomorrow or not.

"The United States would not want the Ukrainian conflict to be resolved only to have it happen again in a few years," said Secretary of State Rubio (https://t.me/rian_ru/277736)

If this is true, the United States does not need to do anything. They just need to leave Ukraine and get busy with the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. Russia will do the rest.

🇺🇸On the First Executive Orders of Donald Trump

On his very first day in office, the new US President signed a stack of executive orders. The first documents dealt with appointments to the administration, including at the cabinet level.

However, in addition to this, Trump and his team made decisions to:

▪️Withdraw from the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Agreement;

▪️Revoke 78 decisions made during the presidency of Joe Biden. Notably, Trump has once again designated Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism;

▪️Restrict the right to US citizenship by birthright;

▪️Close government programs for gender inclusivity and gender reassignment;

▪️Designate drug cartels as terrorist organizations;

▪️Pardon about 1.5 thousand people convicted for protests at the Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021;

▪️Begin the process of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the American Gulf;

▪️Declare a state of emergency on the southern US border to stop the influx of illegal migrants;

▪️Hold former Biden administration officials accountable for unlawful disclosure of sensitive information;

▪️Unblock TikTok and allow an American company to own half of the social network;

▪️Issue a directive to restore free speech and "prevent the introduction of government censorship".

🔻Thus, Trump did not repeat his previous mistakes and hesitate with orders. He decided to carry out a kind of "political blitzkrieg" before his opponents had time to recover, make secret alliances and resist the new president, as happened in the period 2017 - 2021.

Morning Summary on January 21, 2025

▪️ Overnight, enemy drones were shot down in the Smolensk Region. The regional governor reported that "fires on the ground and on the roofs of some buildings were caused by the fall of drone debris." In the Voronezh Region, in the Liski district, several drones were detected, destroyed, and suppressed. The fall of one of the drones on the territory of an oil depot caused a new fire. This same facility was previously attacked on the night of January 16. In the Bryansk Region, 18 drones were shot down, including two jet-powered ones. In the north of the Rostov Region, 12 drones were destroyed and suppressed in the Sholokhovsky and Chertkovskiy districts.

▪️ In the Kursk Region, our marine infantry units continue fierce battles for the village of Kurilovka, have significantly advanced into the Nikolsky farmstead area and in several forest belts of the Sudzha district, reports the "North" group of forces. On the territory of Russkoye Porechnoye, investigative measures continue on the facts of war crimes by the AFU: more bodies of Russian civilians tortured by Ukrainian troops have been found. Yesterday evening, as a result of artillery shelling of the Korenevo settlement, a local resident born in 1970 received numerous shrapnel wounds.

▪️ The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the liberation of Novoigorovka in the LPR (https://t.me/dva_majors/62778). South of this, the Russian Armed Forces are developing success from Ivanovka towards the settlement of Kolodezi.

▪️ After the collapse of the enemy's defense in Vremivka, our assault units of the "East" grouping continue to wedge into the town of Velyka (Bolshaya) Novoselka. The Far Eastern warriors have pushed the enemy out and entrenched themselves in the northeastern and southeastern parts of the city. Heavy fighting continues. The enemy command has decided to evacuate the units of the 1st Presidential Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard, which are together with the 110th Separate Motorized Brigade in the garrison. The enemy is trying to evacuate the personnel of this elite formation by any means possible: rafts, rope crossings, attempts to cross the Mokri Yaly on foot.

▪️ On the Zaporizhzhia Front, the enemy has pulled up (https://t.me/DnevnikDesantnika/22675) about twenty pieces of equipment towards Orikhiv.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 Western reconnaissance aircraft in the Black Sea: should we expect new sabotage on the gas pipelines?

In the context of our yesterday's publication (https://t.me/rybar/67307) about the AFU's preparation for a new strike, we decided to note another important nuance.

The route of the recent flight of the U-2S over the southeastern part of the Black Sea completely passed over the "Turkish Stream" and "Blue Stream" gas pipelines. Commenting on the words of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, we noted (https://t.me/rybar/67155) that the overseas "partners" are extremely interested in the destruction of the gas infrastructure in the Black Sea.

🔻This can only be achieved in the same way as with the "Nord Streams" in 2022. Then it weakened Russia's position in Europe and strengthened the role of the US, which began to supply liquefied natural gas at inflated prices.

▪️In recent months, NATO countries have focused on other provocations in the Baltic Sea, having created a pretext for the start of the "Baltic Watch" mission and effectively occupying the Gulf of Finland. This was necessary to control the Russian military and merchant fleet.

▪️Recently, Ukrainian formations tried to attack one of the branches of the Turkish Stream pipeline with drones. Given the role of the AFU in strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure in the hands of the collective West, this would not have been done without approval "from above".

❗️And now the American high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft for the first time since the start of the SMO conducted reconnaissance where both branches of the gas pipelines are located.

➖➖➖➖➖➖

The West has no problems organizing sabotage under a foreign flag - there are the AFU with USVs, including fully submersible ones.

There are cargo ships (https://t.me/rusich_army/20238) plying to the so-called Ukraine and back. And there are many of them. Loading the necessary equipment with divers is not a problem. So the adversary has plenty of means.

…..

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Regarding the mission in the Baltic and the use of autonomous surface platforms, as discussed by Dva Majora (https://t.me/dva_majors/62809), the discussion that has erupted in the West is interesting. Many believe that the use of USVs in the Gulf of Finland may seem less preferable compared to UAVs due to financial costs.

However, the cheaper drones are limited in time, unlike even the cheapest USVs, which can remain on standby for days. The Ukrainian side is actively using USVs for stationary observation of Crimea.

That is, a drone swims up and simply observes Sevastopol or merchant ships on the route in the Black Sea. And another of their advantages is in their inconspicuousness. UAVs are detected by air defense systems one way or another, but the situation is much more complicated with USVs due to the use of "Starlinks".

➖➖➖➖➖➖

Therefore, NATO's decision to send USVs to the Baltic is quite logical. This is a combat test and verification of their effectiveness. Moreover, the Alliance will use unmanned platforms in combination, which will increase the effectiveness.

The types of these 20 drones are not named, but there are plenty of options. It could be the products of any company that has sent its prototypes to the so-called Ukraine for testing in combat conditions.

Against the backdrop of noise about a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange with Hamas, the IDF (IDF) is creating an advanced operational base in Quneitra Province in southwestern Syria after troops crossed the demarcation line of the Golan Heights.

From a military perspective, this is a temporary, protected operational position that supports strategic goals and tactical objectives, with a certain freedom of action in its designated area of responsibility.

From a civilian perspective, this is an outpost that supports operations on the front line for the purpose of tactical gain.

In simple terms: a military base. Original msg (https://t.me/matemoney2stwola/564)

❗️☄️Ukraine is preparing provocations with chemical and radioactive substances

According to my information, the Ukrainian special services, in close cooperation with the American side, are working on mechanisms for organizing high-profile provocations with radioactive contamination of the area. Preparations for the operation have been going on for more than six months, and its implementation is scheduled for January-February 2025.

According to the plan, Kiev intends to accuse Moscow of deliberately striking objects associated with radiation-hazardous production. The Nikolaev armored plant, as well as the state corporation "Radon" in the Dnipropetrovsk region, have been chosen as the most likely locations for the operation. In addition, the possibility of a provocation on the territory of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Kiev region, as well as one of the enterprises in the Kharkov region, is not excluded.

The goal of these "dirty games" of Kiev is completely obvious. In this way, the military-political leadership of Ukraine is trying to present Trump's peace initiatives as untimely and inappropriate against the backdrop of Russia's latest "atrocities", and also to justify the need to provide itself with further military and financial assistance.

Read the full version of the article (https://telegra.ph/Ukraine-is-preparing-provocations-with-chemical-and-radioactive-substances-01-21) about the measures that have already been taken as part of the provocation, as well as who is taking part in it.

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone

Chronicle of events for January 21, 2025

In the Gaza Strip, Palestinians are returning to areas abandoned by the Israeli army and clearing debris, as well as exhuming bodies. Occasional security incidents occur.

In the West Bank, Israeli security forces have launched a large-scale operation in Jenin. Unlike other local police operations, this one has been named "Iron Walls" and is being carried out with extensive use of equipment and air support.

Israeli troops are also continuing to operate in southern Lebanon. The IDF conducted a raid from Maroun Ar-Ras to Bint Jbeil, where, according to Lebanese journalists, several structures were destroyed.
