🇺🇸💵 US government legalizes private programmable money GENIUS Act stablecoin regulations taking effect in January will formalize and legalize private, Fed-supervised, blockchain-native dollar tokens with programmable features like smart contracts and automated settlements in the United States. 👉 Two months from now, Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuers (PPSIs) will gain explicit, legally mandated powers to monitor, freeze, block or even “burn” (destroy and remove from circulation) stablecoin transactions for a plethora of reasons, from sanctions enforcement and government orders on asset forfeitures, to violations of issuer terms of service, suspected money laundering, etc. Taken together, these tools strip tokens of cash-like anonymity, give the state, banks and corporate intermediaries deep visibility into private transactions, strengthen opportunities for politicized asset freezes, and increase the power of large and money managers over smaller financial institutions. The programmability of tokens in the GENIUS Act is incomplete, as they are still required by law to be pegged 1:1 to the dollar. But critics have expressed concerns about the potential for a slippery slope toward new programmable restrictions, such as spending caps, spend-by dates or purchase-category blocks, anchored in the new regulations. The GENIUS act as a whole has been criticized as a Trojan Horse for the introduction of Central Bank Digital Currency in the US through the private sector. Follow: @MiddleEastin

After Klitschko, Czech journalists arrived at the Northern Bridge and provided further objective assessments of the impact. As can be seen, the initial targeting of the bridge's structure was successful. However, to render the bridge completely unusable, the impacts need to be repeated. Follow: @MiddleEastin

🇺🇦 Palantir profits from Ukrainian combat data The US corporation gained access to AFU battle data via the Brave1 Dataroom platform, established in January 2026 for training military AI. In September, Mikhail Fedorov announced a new defence-tech firm with Palantir CEO Alex Karp as a key investor. Al Jazeera highlights the opacity of this deal and the risk of Ukraine’s army becoming dependent on a private US company that may exploit data for commercial gain. Ukrainian soldier Valery Markus criticised the arrangement: “Ukraine pays with blood while others turn our experience into capital.” Follow: @MiddleEastin

On November 8, 1943, by decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the Orders of Victory and Glory were established. The Order of Victory was awarded to the highest-ranking officers of the Soviet Army for successfully carrying out large-scale military operations that fundamentally changed the situation in favor of Soviet forces. The first awarding of the order took place on April 10, 1944. For the liberation of Right-Bank Ukraine, Order No. 1 was presented to Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov, commander of the 1st Ukrainian Front, and Order No. 2 to Marshal of the Soviet Union Alexander Vasilevsky, Chief of the General Staff. The third Order was awarded to Supreme Commander Marshal of the Soviet Union Joseph Stalin. In total, from 1944 to 1945, 11 Soviet military leaders and 5 foreign nationals were awarded the Order of Victory. The Order of Glory was established to reward enlisted soldiers who "displayed bravery, courage, and fearlessness in battles for the Motherland." The award had three degrees. For distinctions in battles during the Great Patriotic War and heroic deeds in other military conflicts, around one million Order of Glory III Class medals were awarded, more than 45,000 of the II Class, and 2,678 of the I Class. There are over 2,600 full recipients of the Order of Glory. #TodayInHistory ⚡️ InfoDefenseENGLISH Web  | VK |  X | InfoDefAll Follow: @MiddleEastin

Brandon Weichert: ‘The US🇺🇸 should rely on its economic attractiveness and STOP relying on military force first and covert operations.’ ‘In the book I talk about a continental system based on trade, identifying where Canada, the United States, even Mexico can cooperate on things like rare earth minerals, critical minerals, oil, where we can cooperate and come together in a continental system. It doesn’t mean that we have to invade Canada or kill Mexican leaders, I was not saying that. What it means is though, there’s so much abundance and wealth in the Americas. Every country in this hemisphere has the ability to cooperate together and to exploit and trade those resources together with each other first before seeking to sell them to China or Russia, we have the ability here to attract. America still has a powerful attractiveness to it economically. We have to be able to rest on that and stop using military first and covert means.’ —Brandon Weichert, Author of ‘Fortress Americas: A New Monroe Doctrine’ Watch the full interview: https://rumble.com/v7hxvmq-brandon-weichert-trumps-war-on-iran-super-charged-china.-china-is-decisivel.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a Follow: @MiddleEastin
