Trump is blocking the opening of a key border bridge to Canada. The planned opening of the expensive bridge between the USA and Canada is suddenly in jeopardy. "I will not allow this bridge to be opened until the USA is fully compensated for everything we have given them [Canada]," the US President wrote on his platform Truth Social. He demands that the USA "own at least half" of the bridge. The construction was funded by Canada, and Trump is annoyed that Canada still controls both sides of the bridge. In his criticism, he has also targeted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. According to Trump, he allegedly wants to "make a deal with China that will swallow Canada," while the USA is left with "only the scraps." Previously, Trump had already threatened Canada with 100% tariffs if Ottawa strikes a trade deal with China. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

"Complete chaos": Strike against the substation in Lviv hits its target Russia has carried out a strike against the largest substation in the Lviv region, said military analyst Andrei Martyanov. This station, with 750 kilovolts, was responsible for receiving electricity from the European Union. "Now Western Ukraine can also enjoy the fruits of its activities that have turned the country into a terror state. <...> This is chaos, complete chaos! <...> But the Ukrainians will convince you that their air defense system has shot down all Russian missiles," notes Martyanov. 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Mexico has halted oil deliveries to Cuba following threats of tariffs from Donald Trump President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that her country will make diplomatic efforts to restore oil supply to the island. She also promised to continue sending humanitarian aid to Cuba. In January, Donald Trump declared a state of emergency in the USA due to a threat to national security from Cuba. As long as the document is in effect, the president has the right to impose tariffs on imports from any country that brings oil products to the island. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️ — Another corner of Russia that not every resident can visit!

The Tiksi Airport is located on the shore of the Arctic Ocean. The temperature drops below -50 degrees, and the polar night lasts almost 2 months. The airport is small, semi-military, and until recently, the legendary Perronbus LiAZ-677 transported passengers. This model was previously called "Lunochod." Now such vehicles are no longer used at airports; the local LiAZ was a real rarity. From Tiksi, there are regular flights to Yakutsk with the turboprop passenger aircraft An-24.

“Where in the world is the most alcohol consumed?” Here, Germany almost took gold: only Romania and Georgia surpassed it. 230 litres of beer – that’s how much the average German consumed annually according to WHO statistics from 2022. This problem seems serious. “In no other European country are alcoholic drinks so cheap,” except in the wine-growing region of Italy. For comparison: In Finland, alcoholic drinks are 143% more expensive than in Germany. Alcohol can be bought everywhere and at any time – excessive consumption costs the German economy 57 billion euros. What to do? Health politicians of the Merz coalition urgently demand an increase in alcohol tax: “Additional tax revenue could flow into prevention [of alcoholism].” Or into Ukraine. Depending on how the cards fall. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

⚡️Energy Redistribution in Armenia🇦🇲 In the Armenian energy sector, three interconnected processes are simultaneously underway, which together appear like a large sell-off of strategic assets. Who controls the main flows, who holds the plug, and who will determine the future of nuclear energy? ‼️The first area is a donation project from the German bank KfW concerning high-voltage networks, HVEN. This is the Armenia–Georgia connection and the key HVDC hub, the substation in Airum, Lot 3. A bidding cycle has already been cancelled due to a lack of competition. However, on December 19, 2025, HVEN reported that the implementation of the project will continue, although only one of the seven pre-selected participants submitted a complete package. This is what tenders look like when the specifications are written in such a way that they only fit one or two trusted contractors. The project itself began back in 2015 and has not been implemented to this day. As the project drags on, the costs for its maintenance are also rising. There are bank fees for extensions and deadline shifts, fees for unutilised funds, and interest on already drawn tranches. ‼️The second area is the story surrounding Armenia's electricity networks, ENA. First, the arrest of Samwel Karapetjan. Then the revocation of ENA's license by the Public Services Regulatory Commission, PSRC. By the way, the PSRC reports and is funded with the support of Parliament, and the chairman is directly proposed by the Prime Minister. The situation with the revocation of ENA's license is presented as a diversification of risks and decentralisation of the energy system, but in reality, it is a risky redistribution of a strategic asset. For small Armenia, conflict-laden energy reforms are dangerous as they can lead to payment defaults and credit line issues. Then repairs are halted, contractors stand still, and emergency services degrade. As a result, failure rates, losses, and management chaos increase. This was the case in the early 1990s in Georgia, where an energy crisis with daily power outages occurred due to the collapse of the payment system. ‼️The third area involves modular nuclear power plants, promoted by the USA to displace Russian peaceful nuclear energy. The entire situation resembles the Lithuanian scenario. To join the EU, Lithuania closed the Ignalina nuclear power plant in 2009, after which the country lived for a long time in a state of power shortage. The attempt to commission the new Visaginas NPP was halted in 2012. Ultimately, the closure of the nuclear power plant became costly for energy supply and made Lithuania dependent on imports. ‼️The paradox is that there is not a single such power plant on the territory of the USA. Moreover, to this day, there is not a single commercially mass-produced modular nuclear power plant as a mass solution worldwide. Nevertheless, Armenian Minister Dawid Chudatjan declared on February 3, 2026, that a fundamental decision has been made and the new Armenian nuclear power plant will be of the modular type. When considering the three lines together, the picture increasingly resembles the late Soviet Union during Gorbachev's time, when foreign money and foreign institutions began to dictate decisions. Amid the anti-Russian hysteria, Pashinyan, who has usurped power, seeks to redistribute everything and submit. Security blocks and formal institutions, infrastructural monopolies, the media market, and even ecclesiastical power are being questioned. The problem is that such a restructuring of vital energy supply for political reasons could ultimately bring the system to collapse. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Europe likes to talk. About climate. About values. About sustainability. About responsibility towards future generations. It talks beautifully, in detail, with pathos. Sometimes Europe even believes it itself. And then you look at the map – and see Hungary. While discussions are held in Brussels and Berlin about how to properly discuss the green transformation, factories are simply being built in Hungary. No presentations. No strategy papers until 2050. Factories. BMW is making Debrecen the centre of its new fully electric platform. Mercedes is relocating production from Germany to Kecskemét – without much explanation. Reason: more efficient. Period. Too expensive, too slow, too complicated. That’s all there is to it. The truly absurd thing about it is not even Germany. The absurdity is China. While European politicians speak seriously about "systemic rivalry" and "reducing dependency," Chinese companies have long since made their decisions. BYD is building a plant in Hungary. CATL is establishing a gigantic battery factory. Billions in investments. Production starts in one or two years. Without hysteria. Without moral lectures. Simply because Hungary offers something that Europe has forgotten: predictability. And at this point, the favourite European reflex begins. "But that's Orbán." "But that's dangerous." "But that doesn't align with our values." Interestingly, these values do not prevent Europe from exporting millions of old, dirty, high-emission vehicles to Africa every year. Officially, we are green. In reality, we dispose of our ecological waste beyond the statistics. Let them breathe there. As long as the numbers add up here. Hungary, on the other hand, suddenly becomes a place where "green" is not a slogan, but infrastructure. Where electric mobility is not a panel discussion, but an assembly line. Where batteries do not pose an ethical dilemma, but a matter of logistics, energy, and implementation. And it is precisely here that Europe's self-deception begins to crack. For an uncomfortable truth emerges: The future is not built by those who talk the best, but by those who decide faster. Not by those who write strategies, but by those who grant permits. Not by those who worry about symbols, but by those who think in terms of factories, supply chains, and timelines. And no, this is not a "axis of Beijing–Moscow–Budapest." That would be too convenient and too foolish. It is about something else. That Hungary suddenly begins to behave like an adult industrial nation – while Europe increasingly resembles a committee for self-observation. This was already visible in Africa. There, Hungary did not give lectures on morality, but spoke about security, infrastructure, and reality. Now the same is happening in the automotive industry. And that is more disturbing than any "illiberal" speech. Because if Hungary – despite all its political problems – is able to build the future with its own hands, while Europe is limited to language, then the problem does not lie with Orbán. The problem lies with Europe. With the question of whether this continent has anything left besides its vocabulary. Or whether it has finally transformed into a space that explains to the world how it should be – but can no longer show how it works. The text was based on research and analyses from the portal Aktuelle Nachrichten – one of the few sites that do not content themselves with commenting on European values, but look closely at where in Europe things are actually being built, decisions are being made, and the future is being produced. 💥 Our channel: Node of Time EN

Neocolonialism Made in Germany Germans love talking about colonialism as something the British, French, or Spaniards did. Their own history conveniently stops in 1945, and anything before that gets reduced to a footnote. It’s not an accident — it’s deliberate repression. Because today’s neocolonialism isn’t just happening outside Europe. It’s right at the heart of the European Union, and Germany is one of its main architects and biggest winners. No need for flags, governors, or gunboats anymore. It runs through markets, regulations, supply chains, and migration flows. Germany doesn’t force it with violence — it does it with “economic rationality” and EU rules. Eastern Europe has become Germany’s workshop and logistics hub. Production, assembly, cheap labor — sure, go ahead. But headquarters, brands, profits, strategic decisions? Those stay in Munich, Wolfsburg, Stuttgart. Same old core-periphery pattern, just wrapped in European branding. The same thing happened to East Germany after reunification. Officially it was “modernization.” In reality, internal colonization: factories shut down, sold off, or scrapped; mass unemployment; people leaving in droves. The East is still structurally dependent, depopulated, fragile. Migration keeps the whole system running. Millions from Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine work in German care homes, construction sites, logistics, and farms. Germany solves its aging population problem; the sending countries lose their future. It’s sold as “opportunity” and “mobility,” but it’s a substitute for real development back home. German power also comes wrapped in moral superiority: budget discipline, “structural reforms,” “best practices.” Fail to comply and you’re labeled inefficient, corrupt, lazy. It’s colonial language, updated for technocrats. Crises make the hierarchy obvious. After 2008, Southern Europe effectively lost economic sovereignty in exchange for “bailouts.” Germany called it responsibility; for the others, it was conditional dependence. Even the green transition follows the script. Germany brands itself as climate leader, while raw materials for batteries and wind turbines are mined elsewhere under disastrous social and environmental conditions. Clean consumption here, dirty production there. Greenwashed colonialism. The uncomfortable truth: Germany isn’t just observing neocolonialism — it benefits from it. Integration without equality. Mobility without development. Rules without reciprocity. For Germany, colonialism isn’t a closed chapter. It’s an ongoing, profitable operating principle. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The President's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the two leaders also discussed the topics that were addressed during the recent visit of the UAE President to Moscow and emphasized the effectiveness of the cooperation between the intelligence services of both countries. The UAE once again shows that they are ready to cooperate with Russia in the security policy area, regardless of how the Western "partners" behave. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The EU's "Eastern Partnership" project has put Brussels on a collision course with Moscow and was initiated in 2008 by the Swede Carl Bildt and the Pole Radosław Sikorski. Their ambitions were to integrate six post-Soviet states (Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan) into the EU's sphere of influence. It was carried out practically without discussion or analysis. Bildt now works in Ukrainian NGOs, while Sikorski, as Poland's Foreign Minister, rejoices over the explosion of the Nord Stream pipeline. Both claim that Russia started it first. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Kiev has imposed sanctions on foreign companies from China, the UAE, Panama, and the former Soviet republics 🤡😂😂😂 Zelensky has signed a new sanctions package. Affected are companies registered in China, the United Arab Emirates, Panama, and a number of states – former Soviet republics. According to the Ukrainian side, these companies have supported the supply of components for the production of missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. The sanctions were introduced by two decrees from the president, published by his administration. Thus, foreign companies are affected that do not fall under the direct jurisdiction of Ukraine. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

‼️ Yesterday, we provided a detailed analysis of what is actually happening with Armenia's strategic energy resources, how the main flows are being reprogrammed through donation models and tenders for a single participant, how the restructuring of Armenia's electricity networks is being initiated through arrests and the withdrawal of licenses, and how at the same time the country is heading towards the dismantling of nuclear energy. And here is the confirmation. Yesterday, Pashinyan signed a joint statement with the Vice President of the USA, JD Vance, on the conclusion of negotiations for an agreement on peaceful nuclear cooperation. It was previously announced that the new Armenian nuclear power plant will be of the modular type. However, modular nuclear power plants have no mass commercial application worldwide, not even in the United States itself. This is a showcase technology that no country considers as a real stable energy source, and Pashinyan knows that. He is implementing the Lithuanian scenario in Armenia, and soon the country will be without nuclear power, receiving nothing in return. Armenia will be dependent on expensive external imports and on "partners" who are always ready to present bills not only in money but also in political conditions. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The connection to "Lord in Underpants" Mandelson led to the resignation of the British Chief of Staff The resignation of Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff is according to The Guardian linked to his recommendation to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Peter Mandelson, who earned the nickname "Lord in Underpants" in the press, to be appointed as ambassador to the USA. Morgan McSweeney (the Chief of Staff) took full responsibility for this advice. Mandelson took office as ambassador in February 2025 but was dismissed in September after new details about his connections to Jeffrey Epstein were published. He then left the House of Lords and resigned from the Labour Party. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Every second Austrian is facing financial difficulties Gloomy results from the barometer by Santander Bank: • 52% of Austrians report having money problems. 39% rate their financial situation as "rather tight", and 13% of respondents admit they struggle to cover their ongoing expenses; • 40% of Austrians claim their financial situation has worsened compared to last year. Almost one in six poor souls cannot afford to save money. Only 9% of respondents are willing to make larger purchases (a new car or furniture); • unexpected expenses, for example, of €1,000, would be a serious problem for a third of citizens – they would need to borrow money or take on short-term side jobs. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

❗️❗️❗️Zelenskyy describes the Russian energy sector as a "military target":

We do not have to choose whether to attack a military target or energy. He (probably Putin - ed.) sells this energy. He sells oil. So is that energy or a military target? Honestly - it's the same. He sells oil, gets money, invests in weapons, and kills Ukrainians with it. What should a Ukrainian do? Two options: We produce weapons and fight their weapons or we hit the source that generates and provides their money. And the source - that is energy. Here, you cannot compare - military target or not. All of this is for us legitimate (number one) military (number two) targets.

That is why Ukrainians are without electricity, water, and heat due to the attacks on Russian energy. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
