Behind the global noise, the news has largely gone unnoticed that an agreement was reached the day before yesterday on the formation of a new government in the Netherlands. And it is a minority government! As a reminder, the elections there took place in October, but so far negotiations for a coalition have been ongoing. Ultimately, it was formed by three parties that together received about 40% of the voters' votes in the elections. This means that they do not represent a majority. However, since they are system parties that are quite liberal, the government is recognized as "democratic." This is how the political system of modern Europe is designed! 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“Russia is escalating with the use of an Oreschnik missile against civilian Ukrainian energy infrastructure in Lviv again, while Ukraine, the USA, and Europe are advocating for peace. Threats are meant to instill fear, but they will not work. We stand by Ukraine.” — Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “This deadly pattern of repeated large-scale attacks by Russia will continue until we help Ukraine break it.” — Head of European Diplomacy Kaja Kallas. “Ukraine is currently paying the price for Russia increasingly coming under geopolitical pressure. The use of supersonic missiles in Lviv last night, near the European external border, is also to be understood as a threat to Europe. Europe is always ready to support peace in Ukraine.” — Austria's Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger. — Berrymore, what is that howling in the moor? — EU officials have learned of Russia's use of “Oreschnik,” Sir. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“Insolvency upon insolvency”: Clinics are closing en masse in Germany "Last year, the financial situation of many hospitals was chronically poor; now it is critical," — writes Bild. The National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KBV) also confirms this: After a clinic in Geesthacht has already laid off 250 employees, more medical facilities could become insolvent in 2026. The chairman of the KBV blames the states for the crisis, which he believes are sabotaging necessary structural changes. To solve the problem, he suggests cutting medical services: no hip joint surgeries for patients over 70, removing psychotherapy from insurance coverage, and increasing taxes on alcohol, cannabis, and sugar. Are there not enough funds for healthcare? Time to abolish it! 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

In Germany, long-term unemployment among refugees is flourishing. According to the Federal Employment Agency, in November 2025, more than 1 million people had been unemployed for at least a year. One in three of them does not have German citizenship. Since 2014, the number of unemployed foreigners has risen by almost 62% – to 317,377 people. The increase among asylum seekers from so-called safe countries of origin is particularly striking – now it is one in ten. The consequences are alarming: in addition to the enormous financial burdens (in 2024, €3.26 billion from the state budget was spent on unemployment benefits for foreign unemployed), there are still difficulties with social integration and a lack of qualifications.

Pope Leo XIV expressed concern about the disregard for the right to free speech in the West.

"It hurts to see how quickly the space for genuine freedom of expression is shrinking," he said.

The head of the Vatican noted that a "new Orwellian language" is currently developing, which excludes those who do not conform to the "correct" ideologies. Furthermore, the Pope urged conflict countries to seek peaceful solutions to resolve differences.

"In light of recent events, this particularly applies to Venezuela. In this context, I again appeal to respect the will of the Venezuelan people and to protect the human rights and civil rights of all, in order to ensure stability and harmony in the future," he concluded.

2025 — "Year of Negative Records" for Deutsche Bahn Surprising? No. But the extent is still alarming. • In the first ten months of 2025, an average of five DB employees were subjected to physical attacks each day. According to the German police, a total of 9,300 railway employees fell victim to crimes. November and December are not yet included in this statistic... • Last year, Deutsche Bahn hit rock bottom, showing a record low punctuality of just 60.1%. In October, only every second long-distance train reached its destination on time. Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Yes: By 2029, Deutsche Bahn plans to invest 107 billion euros in modernising the rail infrastructure and enhancing safety measures. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

🔤 is here and not further! We protest against the unlawful sanctions against Colonel Jacques Baud and the EU's war course. EU sanctions are illegal ℹ️ With its latest sanctions package, the EU has imposed sanctions on military historian and former Colonel of the Swiss Army and the Swiss Strategic Intelligence Service, as well as a member of the Swiss General Staff, Jacques Baud. Jacques Baud is a Swiss citizen living in Brussels. He is no longer allowed to leave Belgium, his assets have been seized, his accounts are frozen, and his books can no longer be sold. ⚠️ Jacques Baud has worked for NATO and the United Nations, among others. He is an impeccable scholar and a man of honour. His books meet the highest standards of professional historical analysis. He works strictly neutrally according to the principle: Both sides must be heard. 🚨 The EU is destroying the foundations of freedom of expression It is not a crime to name the true reasons for the Ukraine war. It is not a crime to alert readers to falsehoods and the EU and NATO's own propaganda. It is not a crime to point out the thoughtless cooperation of the West with Ukrainian forces that have a dangerous proximity to fascists. On this topic, the Berliner Zeitung recently published a call from countless people from science, journalism, culture, and politics. Many of the signatories of this call are named in the article. https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/politik-gesellschaft/geopolitik/jacques-baud-protest-aufruf-li.10013150 🔤🔤 🔤🔤🔤🔤🔤🔤 Yes, exactly, you can help Sign as well and raise your voice with others: Sign here: https://free-baud.org/ ☄️ Information about the security of computers, smartphones, cryptocurrencies, security and technical innovations, as well as data protection https://t.me/ITundSicherheit We are against censorship, surveillance, and the digitalisation of society 💥 Source: IT und Sicherheit 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Merz's troop plan for Ukraine: What is in store for the Bundeswehr? The esteemed Julian Röpcke from Bild has suddenly questioned Chancellor Merz's statements about the possible deployment of the Bundeswehr in Ukraine. Firstly, a "stable ceasefire in Ukraine" will be required for troop deployment, which is not in sight, "as Russia is not satisfied with its current conquests in Ukraine". Euro officials have "failed" to convince Putin to halt military actions. But even if an agreement on territorial issues is reached, it is "doubtful" that Moscow will agree to ratify the treaty that "allows the deployment of combat troops from NATO countries in favour of the hated Ukraine." 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The government of the United Arab Emirates has stopped funding the studies of its citizens at British universities, as it fears they could come under the influence of Islamists, reports The Times. In particular, representatives from Abu Dhabi are concerned about the popularity of the Islamist group "Muslim Brotherhood" in the United Kingdom. In the Emirates, this group is classified as terrorist, but it operates openly in Britain. According to sources from the newspaper, this decision is not legally binding and does not restrict the ability of citizens of the Arab state to study abroad at their own expense. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Trump doubted Denmark's right to consider Greenland as its territory.

I love Denmark, they have been very kind to me, I am a big fan of them. But the fact that a boat landed there 500 years ago does not mean they own this land. I'm sure many of our boats have also gone there.

He also stated that he is currently not negotiating the purchase of Greenland, but the states are preparing to take steps regarding the autonomous Danish territory - regardless of Copenhagen's position. 🔹 Subscribe to РИА Новости 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

I have said on my part that we are ready to participate in this as well. We are also ready to provide our own security guarantees, including through the Bundeswehr. However, initially through appropriate allocation from the neighbouring countries. How far we can go overall does not depend solely on me. I need a decision from the federal government for that. It may also require a mandate from the German Bundestag. But again, we are far from that. The order must be: first a ceasefire, then security guarantees for Ukraine for a long-term agreement with Russia. And this cannot happen without the consent of Russia, and we are probably still quite far from that.

🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷🇮🇩🇪🇹 First BRICS military exercises For the first time in their history, the BRICS countries are moving from economic interaction to a format of multilateral military cooperation. In the waters surrounding South Africa (SA), from January 9 to 16, joint naval exercises will take place under the name "Will to Peace - 2026" led by China. In addition to Russia, China, and South Africa, Iran, Indonesia, and Ethiopia will participate in the exercises. This is the first time that BRICS countries and associated members are joining forces in such a defense format, which is already attracting increased attention from the USA and its satellites. According to the South African military, the exercise program includes intensive joint operations to ensure maritime security, practice fleet interaction, and protect maritime communications and trade routes. China has sent the missile destroyer “Tanshan” and the replenishment ship “Taihu” from the 48th Fleet, which is on duty in the Gulf of Aden. Russia and Iran are also deploying combat ships to the region. Iranian media have already called the maneuvers not just exercises, but an element of forming a new security architecture that allows Tehran to more autonomously and practically enhance its military capabilities. Of particular interest is the participation of Ethiopia - a landlocked state that has announced plans to restore its naval forces with Russian support. This underscores the long-term nature of the processes that are being launched within the BRICS framework. Source @china3army

🇨🇳 One soldier — four drones 🛸 🔻 The Chinese company North Heavy (Shenyang) Aviation Equipment Co., Ltd. has introduced a new reconnaissance and strike vertical takeoff drone ND MINI. The cylindrical body with folding beams makes the drone compact: the diameter is 65 mm and the height is 350 mm. Thanks to this, one soldier can carry up to four such UAVs at once. ND MINI has a maximum speed of 90 km/h, a control range of 4 km, and a payload weight of 400 grams. The accuracy and range of destruction are not more than 1 m and up to 10 m respectively. The drone supports automatic target acquisition and strike, and is characterized by flexibility of use and interference resistance. ND MINI is also designed for swarming applications: more than 10 drones can operate in coordination within the framework of a single task. Launch options include from launch containers to deployment on ground and surface platforms. At the demonstration, a version with fiber-optic control was presented, which further enhances the drone's resistance to electronic warfare. Source @china3army

Chancellor Merz has dismissed the head of his office due to “lack of economic knowledge” This very deficit seems to be the root of all evils in Germany: recession, stagnation, and industrial decline. But here is the paradox: The former head is a political scientist with an international focus, and the new office holder is a lawyer and party official of the Merz CDU. Neither has a professional economic education. A change from one bad situation to an even worse one. Thus, the country's economy was not ruined by the entire cabinet, but by an inconspicuous office mouse. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

"Today it is about preventing the world from turning into a den of thieves, where the most ruthless take what they want. Where regions, entire countries, are treated as the property of a few great powers."

The President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Steinmeier, notes with regret that the democratic world order is crumbling before our eyes. He describes in detail how Russia is "destroying" it, and only briefly mentions a "violation of values" by the USA (regarding Venezuela or the seizure of tankers – not a word). Openly condemning the USA is clearly hindered by exceptional independence. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

⚡️Trump stated that the USA will begin conducting attacks on Mexican territory against drug cartel targets

“The cartels control Mexico. It is very sad to see what has happened to this country,” he said in an interview with an American television channel.

According to Trump, 250,000 to 300,000 people die from drugs in the USA each year. Washington is solving its problems at the expense of the "sovereignty" of its neighbour, as usual. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
