Our thanks to HM for this:
In my humble opinion, this news is an indication of an aspect of the internal conflict in the American deep state between the globalization wing, which is controlled by the Jewish financial sector as a tool for neocolonialism worldwide, and the Americanization wing, which is controlled by the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) group represented by Trump.
The US economy's shift to digital currency will weaken the status of the paper dollar as a reserve currency in commercial and financial transactions worldwide, and then the value of the paper dollar will decrease and the weight of the US debt will gradually disappear with it, so the real productive US economy will revive to get rid of the burden of debt, and the role of the US Federal Reserve will also decline and the influence of the Jews on America will consequently shrink. This will help accelerate Americanization and get rid of globalization and its exhausting consequences.
There is a historical precedent that makes me hope that Trump will be cautious, as Kennedy (JFK) was assassinated in the 1963 by Jews because of his work to get rid of the US Federal Reserve.

The fallacy of the Abraham Accords
As I wrote recently, the purpose of these accords, promoted by Trump 1.0, was to enable Israel to have good relations with the Arab nations without being inhibited in its homicidal plans in Palestine. Israel has been trying since 1948 to evict the Palestinians.
Just think: even earlier, Trump was facilitating genocide and no one seemed to notice. Yet now we blame it all on Biden.
Trump facilitated it in the early phase but Biden hastened it in the late phase.
but you will have noticed that it was in this late phase that son-in-law Jared stood around like a vulture rubbing his hands and salivating over the prospects of developing waterfront property in Gaza once the population was successfully exterminated. I have never seen such heartlessness.
How is this MY country?
Sketchy real estate empire nepo baby Jared Kushner looks at the devastation in Gaza and sees one thing: dollar signs.
Kushner praised the “very valuable” potential of Gaza’s beachfront property during a talk at Harvard University earlier this month, and essentially advocated for ethnic cleansing so Israel could develop the region.
And Trump recently mentioned the prospects of developing prime real estate there.
Trump envisions war torn Gaza as luxury spot better than Monaco. Internet calls him shameless
Even some Newsweek readers didn’t hold back.
"Let me guess: Donald wants a building permit once Israel has killed all those pesky Palestinians," one wrote.
"Never, in the whole history of humankind, was a person as shameless as this sorry excuse for a human being," someone else fumed.
"Move there, Mr. Trump," another insisted.

Trump's election has temporarily put the development of our policy towards the West, including its war in Ukraine, on hold. We did not react too strongly (which is correct) to the rearguard provocations of the Bidenites, but our warriors continued offensive operations and the grinding down of Western mercenary troops in Ukraine. Now, everyone is talking about the possibility of a compromise, about its contours. And here, at least in the media, such options have begun to be briskly discussed.
Now, together with my colleagues, we are preparing a large-scale study and situational analysis dedicated to developing recommendations regarding Russian policy in the Western direction. I will not predict the results of the discussion, but will simply share some preliminary considerations. They may be useful during the period while the report is being prepared, and are intended to create the basis for a broader discussion.
The Trump administration has no serious reasons to negotiate with us on the terms we have set. War is economically advantageous for the US, since it allows it to rob its allies with redoubled energy, renew its military-industrial complex, and impose its economic interests through systemic sanctions on dozens of countries around the world. And, of course, to continue to damage Russia in the hope of wearing it down, and in the best case scenario for the US, to bring it down or eliminate it from the game as a military-strategic core of the rising and liberating world majority , a powerful strategic support for its main competitor, China. Although this war is not needed and even a little harmful from the main point of view for a hypothetical Trump - domestic politics, the balance of interests is more likely to be in favor of continuing it.
I will put myself in Trump's shoes - an American nationalist with elements of traditional messianism, but without the globalist-liberal scum of the last three or four decades and Biden's involvement in Ukrainian corruption schemes. This hypothetical Trump can be moved to agreements that suit us by only three things. The first is the threat of Afghanistan 2, the complete defeat and shameful flight of the Kiev regime and the demonstrative failure of the West led by America. The second is Russia's withdrawal from its de facto alliance with China. And the third is the threat of military action spilling over into the US territory and its vital possessions, which will be accompanied by mass deaths of Americans (including the destruction of military bases).
A complete defeat is necessary, but without a much more active use of the nuclear deterrent factor, it will be extremely – if not prohibitively – expensive, and will require the death of thousands and thousands more of our fatherland's best sons. Surrendering China is absurdly counterproductive for us. If the first-term Trumpists tried to persuade us to do this, now they seem to understand that Russia will not agree to this. More on the nuclear factor later.
For the current Euro-elites, Euro-integrators, war is urgently needed. Not only because of the hope to undermine the traditional geopolitical rival, to take revenge for the defeats of the last three centuries, but also because of Russophobia. These elites, their Euro-bureaucracy are failing in almost all directions. The Euro-project is bursting at the seams.
The use of Russia as a bugbear, and now a real enemy, which has been going on for over a decade, is the main instrument for legitimizing their project and maintaining power by the Euro-elites. In addition, “strategic parasitism” – the lack of fear of war – has grown much stronger in Europe than in the US. Not only do Europeans not want to think about what it could mean for them, but they also no longer know how to think about it. Since Soviet times and based on the experience of working with de Gaulle, Mitterrand, Brandt, Schroeder and the like, we have become accustomed to considering the Americans to be the main instigators of confrontation and the militarization of politics in the West. This is not quite true, and now it is not true at all. It was Churchill who, when it seemed advantageous to him, drew the US into the Cold War. It was European strategists (they still existed then), and not the Americans, who initiated the missile crisis of the 1970s. The list of examples is long.
Now the Euro-elites are the main sponsors of the Kyiv junta. They, having forgotten that it was their predecessors who unleashed two world wars, are pushing Europe and the world towards a third.
While sending Ukrainian cannon fodder to slaughter, they are preparing new ones – Eastern Europeans from a number of Balkan states, Romania and Poland. They have begun to deploy mobile bases where they are training contingents of potential Landsknechts. They will try to continue the war not only until the “last Ukrainian”, but soon until the “last Eastern European”.
NATO and Brussels anti-Russian propaganda already surpasses Hitler's. Even personal human ties with Russia are systematically severed. Those who advocate normal relations are poisoned and fired from their jobs. A totalitarian liberal ideology is essentially being imposed. They even forget about their pretensions to democracy, although they continue to squeal about it. The latest example is the annulment of the results of the presidential elections in Romania, which were not won by the Brussels candidate.
European elites are not only clearly preparing their populations and countries for war. They even name approximate dates when they might be ready to unleash it. How can we stop the madmen? Stop the slide towards World War III at least in Europe? Achieve an end to the war?
How to prevent World War III
Sergey Karaganov
In mid-June of this year, I published an article in the magazine “Profile” titled “The Use of Nuclear Weapons Can Save Humanity from a Global Catastrophe.” The article and its English-language version were published almost simultaneously on the website of the magazine “Russia in Global Politics.” It was reprinted many times around the world, and caused a tsunami – tens of thousands of responses, objections, and disputes. There were also many words of support.

Talk of compromises and truces revolves around freezing the current confrontation. This will allow the remnants of the Ukrainians to be rearmed and, having supplemented them with contingents from other countries, to begin a new round of military operations. We will have to fight again. And from less advantageous political positions. It will be possible and necessary, if it really gets tough, to present such a compromise as a victory. But it will not be a victory, but, frankly speaking, a victory for the West. This is how it will be perceived throughout the world. And in many ways here too.
I will not list all the tools to avoid such a scenario. I will only name the most important ones.
First , we must finally tell ourselves, the world and our opponents the obvious. Europe is the source of all the main ills of humanity, two world wars, genocides, anti-human ideologies, colonialism, racism, Nazism and so on down the list. The metaphor of a well-known European official about Europe as a “blooming garden” sounds much more realistic if we call it a field overgrown with fat weeds, blooming on the humus of hundreds of millions of killed, robbed and enslaved people. And around it rises a garden of ruins of oppressed and robbed civilizations and peoples. Europe must be called what it deserves, in order to make the threat of using nuclear weapons against it more convincing and justified.
Secondly , to point out another obvious truth – any war between Russia and NATO/EU will inevitably acquire a nuclear character or go nuclear if the West continues to fight against us in Ukraine. This indication is necessary, among other things, to limit the unfolding arms race. There is no point in stockpiling huge arsenals of conventional weapons if the armies equipped with them, and the countries themselves that sent these armies, will inevitably be swept away by a nuclear tornado.
Thirdly , we need to continue to advance for several more months, grinding down the enemy. But the sooner the better, we need to announce that our patience, our readiness to sacrifice our men for the sake of victory over this bastard, will soon run out and we will announce the price - for every killed Russian soldier, a thousand Europeans will die if they do not stop indulging their rulers who are waging war against Russia. We need to tell the Europeans directly: your elites will make the next portion of cannon fodder out of you, and if the war goes nuclear, we will not be able to protect the civilian population of Europe, as we are trying to do in Ukraine. We will warn of strikes, as Vladimir Putin promised, but nuclear weapons are even less selective than conventional weapons. Of course, the European elites must be confronted with the fact: they and their places of residence will become the first targets for nuclear retaliation strikes. They will not be able to sit it out.
And the Americans simply need to be told that if they continue to add fuel to the fire of the Ukrainian conflict, we will cross the nuclear Rubicon in a few steps, strike their allies, and if there is a non-nuclear response, as they have threatened, there will be a nuclear strike on their bases in Europe and around the world. If they decide to respond nuclearly, they will receive a nuclear strike on their own territory.
Reflections on the Path to Victory
Sergey Karaganov
Russia has begun to win the fight against Western aggression in Ukraine. But it is too early and dangerous to calm down. The fight is only just heating up. Let us calm down, let us stop – let us “snatch defeat from the hands of victory”. But in order to achieve victory, we need a serious modernization of many aspects of the previous policy, including the correction and clarification of its goals.
Read more
Fourthly , we must continue our military reinforcement, which is necessary in the conditions of a super-turbulent and crisis-ridden world. But at the same time, we must not only change the nuclear doctrine, which, thank God, has already begun , but also, in the event of the Americans and their lackeys' unwillingness to negotiate, resume a decisive move up the ladder of nuclear escalation, to increase the effectiveness of our nuclear deterrence/retaliation forces. The "Nut" is a magnificent weapon, praise be to its customers and creators, but it is not a replacement for nuclear weapons, but simply another effective step on the ladder of escalation.
Fifthly , we need to convey to the US through various channels that we do not want their humiliation and are ready to help ensure their dignified exit from the Ukrainian catastrophe, into which the Americans have been dragged by liberal globalists and Europeans.
But the main thing is to understand that we cannot and do not have the right to show indecision before the country, our people and humanity. At stake is not only the fate of Russia, but also human civilization in its current form.
If and when the Americans retreat, Ukraine will be destroyed fairly quickly. Its east and south will go to Russia. In the center and west of today's Ukraine, a demilitarized, neutral state with a no-fly zone over it should be formed, where all those who do not want to live in Russia and obey our laws can come. A truce will be concluded.
Well, after the truce, it will be necessary to move towards a joint solution to the problems facing humanity, with friends from the global majority . And even with the Americans, if they come to their senses. At the same time, it is urgently necessary to push Europe away from solving global problems for a while. Once again, it itself is becoming the main threat to itself and to the world.
Peace on the subcontinent can be established only when Europe's back is broken once again, as happened as a result of our victories over Napoleon and Hitler, when a change of generation of the current elites occurs. And even then, not in a narrowly European context - that is a thing of the past - but in a Eurasian context.

Air strike update for Jan 24, 2025
Just think about this air strike report. Why did Russia hit these western oblasts? Because they were key targets in stopping the Ukrainian army and they are out of range for the Russian army. If Trump managed to talk Putin into abandoning control of these oblasts and installing peace keepers from NATO countries, they would betray him as they did when they sabotaged the Minsk Accords and subsequent Istanbul accords. There would be another war and Russia would be in serious trouble. Russia must have control of ALL of Ukraine or it will fail.

A spectacular video of four ballistic strikes on Zaporizhia has appeared
Oleg Koryakin
The Telegram channel "Obsessed with War" has published a spectacular video of a massive strike by ballistic missiles of the Russian Armed Forces on objects in Zaporizhia.
The footage, recorded by a street camera, shows three missiles hitting one of the targets with high accuracy. After which powerful explosions occur, the target catches fire.
The fourth missile flies to another target, also causing a large explosion. Probably, the Iskander OTRK was used for the attack. As military blogger Boris Rozhin specifies, the video shows strikes the Motor Sich plant.
Earlier, information appeared that the Russian Armed Forces struck a command post and ammunition depots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Zaporizhia. This was reported by military expert Vitaly Kiselev, citing the pro-Russian underground.

Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft strike Ukrainian Armed Forces deployment point near Novodmitrovka
January 24, 2025, 16:48
Aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) have struck a temporary deployment point of the assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) near the settlement of Novodmitrovka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). This was reported on Friday, January 24, by the Russian Defense Ministry.
"Thanks to the use of a FAB-1500 high-explosive aerial bomb equipped with a universal planning and correction module, the target was destroyed by a direct hit," the department said in a statement.
Objective control footage shows the precise strike and subsequent powerful explosion.
Earlier that day, an army aviation crew on a Mi-28 helicopter as part of a mixed tactical group disrupted the rotation of Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the border area of the Kursk region. It was specified that during the support of ground forces, army aviation pilots launched missiles at specified coordinates and hit armored vehicles, as well as manpower of Ukrainian formations.
The special operation to protect Donbass, the beginning of which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the backdrop of the worsening situation in the region.
