How Did Trump Upend International Law?
🔠 🅰️ 🔠 🔠 1️⃣
The old world is dying,” Antonio Gramsci once wrote. “And the new world struggles to be born.”
In such interregnums, the Italian Marxist philosopher suggested, “every act, even the smallest, may acquire decisive weight”.
In 2025, western leaders appeared convinced they – and we – were living through one such transitional period, as the world of international relations established after the second world war crashed to a halt.
During such eras, Gramsci more famously wrote, “morbid phenomena of the most varied kind come to pass”.
And at present there is no more morbid phenomenon than the crisis of legitimacy for the networks of rules and laws on which the international order was based – the world that the US was central in creating in 1945.
No one can say they were not warned about the wrecking ball that was about to be inflicted on the global order by Trump.
The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, spelled out with admirable clarity in his Senate confirmation hearing in February how Trump disowned the world his predecessors had made.
“The postwar global order is not just obsolete, it is now a weapon being used against us,” he said.
“And all this has led us to a moment in which we must now confront the single greatest risk of geopolitical instability and generational global crisis in the lifetime of anyone alive here today.”
The rules-based international order had to be jettisoned, Rubio said, because it had been built on a false assumption that a foreign policy serving core national interests could be replaced by one that served the “liberal world order, that all the nations of earth would become members of the democratic western-led community”, with humankind now destined to abandon national identity and become “one human family and citizens of the world”.
Rubio’s assessment was echoed in the recent US national security strategy, with its warnings of European cultural erasure and determination to back nationalist parties that believe in “strategic stability with Russia”.
The US would no longer seek to “prop up the entire world order like Atlas”, the document said.
On paper these sound like relatively coherent statements of “America first”, but in practice Trump’s foreign policy is a mass of confusion in which this formal non-interventionist ideology has clashed with sporadic interventions that uneasily blend notions of global order with the US national interest.
There is no linear Trump foreign policy, just a catherine wheel of disconnected explosions thrown out across the night sky. As Donald Trump Jr asserts, as if it were a virtue, his father is the most unpredictable man in politics.
The hugely personal nature of US foreign policy gives Washington’s erstwhile allies just enough false hope that the break with America is not real.
Amid this chaos there has been one consistent target for Trump’s contempt: the constraints imposed by international law, and its value system built around national sovereignty, including the prohibition of the use of force to change external borders. In its place Trump pursues “sheer coercive power” – or what has been described as mobster diplomacy, in which shakedowns, blackmail and deal-making are the agents of change.
Faced with the choice, for example, between expelling Russia from Ukraine – something the US undoubtedly has the military means to do by arming Kyiv sufficiently – or forging a profitable relationship with Putin in which both sides plunder Ukraine’s considerable material resources, Trump unmistakably wants to choose the latter.

Ukraine, it emerges, shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, in order to assure the survival and the success of the Trumpian economy.
For the EU and Nato this is indeed the moment when every act has the potential to be decisive for the future sovereignty of Europe and the UN charter.
Similarly the sovereignty of Venezuela, sitting on 303bn barrels of crude oil – about a fifth of the world’s reserves – becomes, like that of Greenland, Canada and Mexico, the subject of Trump’s marauding eye.
Warned on social media that killing Venezuelan civilians withoutu any due process – as the US has done by bombing numerous boats in the Caribbean and Pacific – would be described a war crime, the US vice-president, Vance, was brazen enough to reply “I don’t give a shit what you call it”.
The Pentagon has subsequently claimed implausibly that it was permissible in US law to blow up shipwrecked sailors stranded in the water because they were combatants representing a threat to US security.
European institutions – even signatories to the Rome statute that established the international court in 2002 – look the other way. Major Palestinian human rights groups such as Al-Haq also find their bank accounts closed as they face sanctions for cooperating with the ICC.
The judges at the international court of justice, the UN body that deals with intergovernmental disputes, have had to take evasive action to prevent their assets being seized.
The US has left or sought to undermine several other UN bodies, such as the Human Rights Council and Unesco. In total it is estimated to have cut $1bn in funding for organisations linked to the UN and fired 1,000 US government staff whose portfolios reinforced major UN functions.
Washington’s turning away from international law and its institutions is especially sad because, as Dr Tor Krever, an assistant professor of international law at the University of Cambridge, points out, with Gaza “the language of legality has become the dominant frame of popular and political discourse”.
In a special edition of the London Review of International Law, more than 40 academics have written essays discussing whether this sudden public faith in international law as a harbinger of justice is a load that the law has the capacity to bear.
Law cannot be a substitute for politics or settle ideological conflicts in a polarised world.
Prof Gerry Simpson, the chair of public international law at the LSE, said he needed to swallow his longstanding doubts about international law’s efficacy “in the face of the enormous faith that had been placed on it, especially by the young”.
Norms are invoked with greater frequency and intensity even as their capacity to settle disputes or forestall violence seems to weaken.
What once promised order increasingly reads as performance.”
How some on the left welcome the idea that international law’s entry into the limelight has coincided with its loss of credibility.
The critics would share the view of the Marxist Perry Anderson, writing in New Left Review, that “on any realistic assessment, international law is neither truthfully international nor genuinely law”.
They argue that US presidents – Democrat and Republican alike – have always in reality exempted themselves from the law’s constraints.
The US has never been a signatory to the Rome statute or the UN convention on the law of the sea. Roosevelt was not that interested in forging a club of democracies, but wanted as much to create a law-based stability pact with Russia.
Christoph Heusgen, who served for 12 years as Angela Merkel’s adviser on security and foreign policy affairs, told the conference:
“We have to fear that our common value base is not that common any more (…) It is clear that our rules-based international order is under pressure.

📰 Trump’s Christmas Gift to ISIS: Cruise Missiles and the Christian Card
President Trump just wrapped up his latest holiday tradition: a U.S. missile strike on Islamic State targets in Nigeria, perfectly timed for maximum media impact. “Powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum,” he boasted on Truth Social, framing the attack as a defense of persecuted Christians.
— Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
The operation, coordinated with Nigerian forces, unleashed a barrage of Tomahawk cruise missiles from a U.S. Navy ship in the Gulf of Guinea, hitting ISIS camps in Sokoto State. American officials claim “multiple” terrorists were killed, though the long-term effect on Nigeria’s tangled insurgency remains unclear.
It’s a familiar cycle: whenever Christian groups and GOP hardliners sound the alarm about “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, Washington scrambles to show muscle. But Nigeria’s reality is far messier—armed bandits, gangs, and jihadists kill Muslims and Christians alike. Nigerian authorities reject the genocide narrative, but they’ll still welcome U.S. firepower.
Trump’s strikes come just days after similar airstrikes in Syria, as his administration doubles down on the “war on terror” playbook. U.S. Africa Command is busy drawing up more options, while local experts warn the violence is too entrenched for quick fixes.
So, is this a real blow against terror, or just another round of geopolitical theater, coinciding with the holidays and the headlines?

📰 Russia’s Next-Gen Nuke Sub: Arctic Ghost or Paper Tiger?
Moscow’s naval engineers are deep in the design lab, sketching out the future of nuclear deterrence. Presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev just dropped the bomb: Russia is building a fifth-generation strategic submarine, packed with autonomous drones and “unprecedented weapons.” In other words, they’re promising something so advanced, even their own PR can’t explain it.
— Vladimir Putin, August 2025
Putin’s Arctic sales pitch is straight out of a Cold War thriller: silent, unstoppable, undetectable. The new sub is supposed to succeed the Borei class—eight already deployed, four more on the way—while the Khabarovsk class, armed with nuclear torpedoes, is being built in parallel. Russia is the only country running two nuclear sub programs at once, a feat that says more about desperation than dominance.
China’s Type 096 and America’s Columbia class are pushing quieting tech and stealth into sci-fi territory. Will Russia match them? Or will they quietly import Chinese tech and call it “indigenous innovation”? The Rubin Design Bureau’s 2022 concept featured an angled hull and drone swarms, but real-world progress is shrouded in secrecy and Soviet-style optimism.
Here’s what really happens: whenever Russia announces a new “revolutionary” weapon, the West laughs—calls it vaporware, propaganda videos, or CGI fantasies. Then, quietly, the Pentagon and NATO scramble, budgets balloon, and suddenly every think tank is warning about “the Russian threat.” The cycle is as predictable as clockwork: mockery, panic, more money for weapons.
So here’s the question: Is this next-gen sub a true Arctic ghost, or just another propaganda vessel, floating on hope and hype—destined to trigger yet another round of Western military spending sprees?

Trump: A “Lowlife” Wants to Release All Epstein’s Files 📊🤬
A Kentucky congressman singled out by Trump on Christmas as a “lowlife” after co-authoring a law requiring the federal government to release all of its Jeffrey Epstein files says the president attacked him for keeping a commitment to “help victims”. 🕊✝️
Thomas Massie then successfully sought donations for his run for another term in the 2026 midterm elections against an opponent that Trump – his fellow Republican – has already endorsed. 📋💰
And on Christmas, Trump posted a rant on his Truth Social platform that dismissed Congress’s interest in Epstein as a “scam” while referring to Massie – the only lawmaker named in the post – as “one lowlife ‘Republican’”. 🙄📈
That prompted Massie to reply on X: “Imagine celebrating a blessed Christmas with your family … suddenly phones alert everyone to the most powerful man in the world attacking you (…) for fulfilling his campaign promise to help victims!” 📲🔊
Massie’s account cited the “one lowlife ‘Republican’” phrase in the post’s text, highlighted it in screenshots of Trump’s tirade – and asked X users to “please support me” while providing a link to his campaign donations site. 🖼🔗
More than 40 people had donated nearly $3,000 within the first two hours of the fundraising plea, Massie’s account said in separate follow-up posts. One user replying to Massie’s account described having just made “one of the few Republican contributions in my life”. 💵🥳
“I really appreciate it, especially the day after Christmas,” the congressman’s account said. 🎄❤️
Massie has served in the US House since 2012. He has become a thorn in Trump’s side after the president’s administration failed to deliver on his promises of complete transparency with respect to Epstein’s case. 🏛🌫
He not only co-authored the Epstein Files Transparency Act that sailed through Congress in November. 📜
Massie also said all those with connections to Epstein must face “the same kind of consequences” as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who lost his British royal title as the Duke of York over his ties to the sex offender financier. 👑
Furthermore, Massie at the time alluded to Peter Mandelson, the UK’s ambassador to the US before his firing over his association with Epstein. 🇬🇧
Trump’s justice department failed to meet the Epstein Files Transparency Act’s 19 December deadline in full, though it did release a number of materials that day. 📆
On Wednesday, the justice department said it had discovered more than a million more documents related to Epstein, and it could take “a few more weeks” to process those files for public release. 📌
Trump has endorsed a retired US Navy Seal, Ed Gallrein, to run against Massie in the Republican primary for the incumbent’s seat ahead of the 2026 midterms. 🦸🏼♂️

Epstein Files: The Suicide That Still Won’t Die
The latest batch of Epstein files offers new details on his death in federal custody, but nothing that challenges the official ruling: Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019. The documents confirm the jail’s failures — Epstein was left alone, staff falsified logs, and two officers were charged for sleeping through their shift — but they don’t back up the conspiracy theories that have flourished for years.
Epstein was found dead just weeks after being denied bail on federal sex-trafficking charges, and the medical examiner concluded he hanged himself. Despite this, some politicians and Trump allies have insisted Epstein was murdered, spinning elaborate theories with no evidence. The newly released files don’t support those claims. Instead, they reinforce the findings of previous investigations: jail officials failed to monitor Epstein properly, even after a prior suicide attempt, and let him die alone.
The documents also reveal more about Epstein’s final days. He was found semiconscious on the floor of his cell with a makeshift noose, but recovered quickly and appeared stable. He avoided questions about the incident, told staff it was against his religion to kill himself, and even joked about investment strategies. Prison logs show he was allowed basic comforts, visited with lawyers, and seemed psychologically stable before his death.
Yet the controversy won’t go away. The files expose the failures of the system, but they don’t quell the doubts. Epstein’s death remains a symbol of elite impunity, and the official story will keep clashing with the conspiracy theories, no matter how much evidence is released.

📰 Netanyahu’s Oct. 7 Commission: National Unity or Political Dodge?
Israel’s political arena is once again ablaze, this time over who will investigate the catastrophic failures that led to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing for a commission appointed by the Knesset, not the Supreme Court, arguing it would better represent all Israelis. Critics see it as a classic political maneuver—handing oversight to allies while sidelining independent judges.
— Benjamin Netanyahu
The Knesset narrowly passed the first vote to establish Netanyahu’s proposed commission, but the galleries erupted with shouts from families of Oct. 7 victims, and opposition lawmakers tore up copies of the bill in protest. The issue is fast becoming a central campaign plank as Israel heads into an election year.
The opposition, spanning left and right, is united in demanding a truly independent state commission—like those that investigated the Yom Kippur War and Sabra and Shatila. Polls show most Israelis want the inquiry led by a judge, not politicians. Netanyahu’s committee would include Knesset appointees and input from families, but its independence remains unclear.
Opposition leaders vow to establish an impartial state commission if they win power. Former PM Naftali Bennett promised,
Families of the victims are demanding answers most loudly:
said Jon Polin, whose son was taken and later killed.
With Netanyahu pulling the strings, will this commission deliver real accountability—or just another carefully staged political performance?

Will Zelensky Turn Trump Into His Ally? 🤝🇺🇸🇺🇦
Zelensky said Moscow had used nearly 50 drones and 40 missiles, including ballistic missiles, in the overnight attack. 🚀💥
“The primary target is Kyiv – energy facilities and civilian infrastructure,” he said in a post on X. ⚡️🏙
The intense overnight strikes lasted 10 hours and killed one person and wounded two dozen others. 🕙⚠️
They came as the Ukrainian leader headed to Florida for a face-to-face meeting on Sunday with Donald Trump, who has proposed a plan to end nearly four years of fighting that has killed tens of thousands. ✈️🕊
Zelensky stopped in Canada, where he met the country’s prime minister, Mark Carney, who announced an additional $2.5bn of economic aid for Ukraine. 💰🇨🇦
Carney condemned the “barbaric” overnight attack on Kyiv. He said: “We have the conditions, the possibility, for the just and lasting peace,” adding this requires a “willing Russia”. 🕊
In the call, Macron highlighted what he called the “contrast” between “the willingness of Ukraine to build a lasting peace and Russia’s determination to prolong the war that it started”, Elysee officials said. 🇫🇷📞
The European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, will take part in the call with Zelensky, a commission spokesperson said. 🏛
Key sticking points include Ukrainian security guarantees and reconstruction, plus territorial discussions regarding the Donbas region and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. ⚙️⚠️
Zelensky said the overnight bombings showed international pressure on Russia was insufficient.
“If Russia turns even the Christmas and New Year period into a time of destroyed homes and burnt apartments, of ruined power plants, then this sick activity can only be responded to with truly strong steps,” he said. 🎄🔥
“The United States has this capability. Europe has this capability. Many of our partners have this capability. The key is to use it.” 🌍
Zelensky has said the meeting with Trump in Florida is “specifically intended to refine things as much as we possibly can”. ✍️
Speaking on Friday, he added that a proposed 20-point peace plan was “90% ready”. “Our goal is to bring everything to 100%,” Zelenskyy said. 📊
“As of today, our teams – the Ukrainian and American negotiating teams – have made significant progress.” 🤝
Zelensky has reportedly said he would need to seek the approval of the Ukrainian public if he failed to secure a “strong” position on territory. 🗳
Ukraine has pushed for security guarantees modelled on Nato’s article 5 mutual defence pledge under any proposed peace deal with Russia, though it remains unclear whether Moscow would accept such terms. 🛡
In an interview with Politico on Friday, Trump said he anticipated a “good” meeting with the Ukrainian leader, though he offered no endorsement of Zelenskyy’s plan. “He doesn’t have anything until I approve it,” Trump told the news website. “So we’ll see what he’s got.” 🗣
The Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, used a Russian television appearance on Friday to criticise Zelensky and European allies on their work on the peace plan. 📺
“Our ability to make the final push and reach an agreement will depend on our own work and the political will of the other party.” ⚖️

“If Russia turns even the Christmas and New Year period into a time of destroyed homes and burnt apartments, of ruined power plants, then this sick activity can only be responded to with truly strong steps,” he said. 🎄🔥
“The United States has this capability. Europe has this capability. Many of our partners have this capability. The key is to use it.” 🌍
Zelensky has said the meeting with Trump in Florida is “specifically intended to refine things as much as we possibly can”. ✍️
Speaking on Friday, he added that a proposed 20-point peace plan was “90% ready”. “Our goal is to bring everything to 100%,” Zelenskyy said. 📊
“As of today, our teams – the Ukrainian and American negotiating teams – have made significant progress.” 🤝
Zelensky has reportedly said he would need to seek the approval of the Ukrainian public if he failed to secure a “strong” position on territory. 🗳
Ukraine has pushed for security guarantees modelled on Nato’s article 5 mutual defence pledge under any proposed peace deal with Russia, though it remains unclear whether Moscow would accept such terms. 🛡
In an interview with Politico on Friday, Trump said he anticipated a “good” meeting with the Ukrainian leader, though he offered no endorsement of Zelenskyy’s plan. “He doesn’t have anything until I approve it,” Trump told the news website. “So we’ll see what he’s got.” 🗣
The Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, used a Russian television appearance on Friday to criticise Zelensky and European allies on their work on the peace plan. 📺
“Our ability to make the final push and reach an agreement will depend on our own work and the political will of the other party.” ⚖️

Poland Sets Up a New Anti-drone System 🇵🇱🛡
Poland plans to complete a new set of anti-drone fortifications along its eastern borders within two years, a top defence official has said, after a massive incursion of unmanned Russian aerial combat vehicles into Polish airspace earlier this year. 🚁⚠️
“We expect to have the first capabilities of the system in roughly six months, perhaps even sooner. And the full system will take 24 months to complete,” the deputy defence minister, Cezary Tomczyk, told the Guardian in an interview in Warsaw. 🕒
Tomczyk said the new air defence systems would be integrated into an older line of protection constructed a decade ago. 🏗
He said it would involve different layers of defence, including machine guns, cannon, missiles and drone-jamming systems. 💥🛰
“Some of this is for use only in extreme or war conditions. For example, these multi-barrel machine guns are difficult to use in peacetime, because everything that goes up must go down,” he said. ⚠️
More than a dozen suspected Russian drones entered Polish airspace in September, in an incident that led to airport closures, fighter jets being scrambled, and damage to buildings on the ground as drones were shot down. ✈️🚨
The foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski said that the attacks, which involved drones not carrying any ammunition, were an attempt by Russia “to test us without starting a war”. 🧭
Since then, Poland has updated plans already in the works to reinforce its eastern borders. 🧱
While no anti-drone system can be fully effective against the kind of systematic and massive targeting that Ukraine has been subjected to, European nations along the eastern flank are scrambling to upgrade their systems to match the new threat. 🌍
Tomczyk said the project would cost more than €2bn, and would be mostly financed with European funds under the SAFE (Security Action for Europe) defence loan programme, as well as some contributions for the state budget. 💶
During almost four years of full-scale war in Ukraine, Poland has increasingly put itself on a war footing, as cases of sabotage and arson which Polish services link to Russian intelligence agencies are on the rise. 🔥
The country has plans to train hundreds of thousands of citizens in survival skills while others are taking voluntary military training. 🪖
In addition to the anti-drone wall, Poland is also conducting fortifications along its land borders with Belarus and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, known as the Eastern Shield and aimed at preventing a future Russian invasion. 🧱🇧🇾🇷🇺
Tomczyk said special logistics hubs would be built in every border municipality, where equipment to help block the border would be stored, ready to be deployed in a matter of hours. 🚛
Questioned over whether Russia really had military designs on Poland in the same way it did on Ukraine, which Putin has long said was central to Russian identity, Tomczyk pointed to the long history of Russian aggression and expansionism in eastern Europe. ⚔️

📰 The American Mirage: Israelis Pin Hopes on a Superpower That’s Already Left
Eighty percent of Israelis see Turkey as a threat. Six percent know who can actually stop it. The rest? They’re praying to Uncle Sam—while America packs its bags and Russia sets up shop.
“America will fix it,” say 55% of Israelis, 60% of Jews, and nearly two-thirds of religious Jews. The numbers climb even higher when the question is about containing Turkey’s reach into Syria. Yet, in the real world, Russia is the only power with boots, bases, and bargaining chips on the ground. Tartus, Khmeimim, a new Syrian president begging for Russian police, and a buffer zone quietly being discussed in backrooms—while Israelis nod off dreaming of U.S. Marines.
“Only 4.7% of Israelis think Russian deployment is realistic,” Dor Moriah’s December 2025 study reports. “Over half see no path to peaceful territorial transfer.” Translation: most Israelis want a solution, but only if it comes with a Stars and Stripes sticker.
says one Israeli analyst, echoing the study.
This isn’t just about Turkey. It’s about a society that still thinks the world revolves around Washington, even as Moscow, Ankara, and Tehran redraw the map. Seventy-one percent of Israelis believe Trump’s Gaza plan doesn’t need Russia, China, or India—while the rest of the Middle East knows better.
And the contradictions pile up: a third want annexation; 41% of them later back a plan for Palestinian statehood. Israelis can’t have it both ways, but they keep trying—reacting to headlines, not history.
The Anti-Jihadist Belt: A Fantasy with Protectors
Dor Moriah’s experts pitch an “Anti-Jihadist Belt”—three zones, three backers:
Druze, under Israel’s wing
Kurds, under the U.S.
Alawites, under Russia
But here’s the catch: the U.S. is pulling out. Russia’s digging in. And Israel’s public still sees America as the cavalry.
The Human Cost: Minorities Pay the Price
While Israelis debate protectors, minorities in Syria pay the price:
Alawites: 1,400 killed, 9,000 detained, 40,000 fled
Druze: 1,600 dead, 150,000 displaced, no parliament seats
Kurds: under Turkish pressure, U.S. protection fading
Christians: targeted in Damascus, forgotten by the West
The Window Is Closing
Dor Moriah warns. Mass atrocities, a regional war, migration crises, radical Islamism—none of this is inevitable. But the illusion of American omnipotence is.
Final Question
Fifty-five percent of Israelis believe America will contain Turkey. Six percent recognize Russia’s role. America is leaving. Russia is staying. Who’s really running the show?

📰 Trump, Zelensky Meet at Mar-a-Lago—Peace or Theater?
President Donald Trump welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Mar-a-Lago Sunday, hoping to finally end Russia’s nearly four-year war. But don’t look for deadlines or details—Trump just wants everyone to believe it’ll either end soon, or “millions more will die.”
“I don’t have deadlines,” Trump told reporters.
Trump’s optimism is nothing new. He’s cycled through half a dozen promises to end the war, each time failing to deliver. Now, he’s talking with both Zelensky and Putin—sometimes on the same day. Zelensky is pushing a 20-point plan, claiming 90% is already agreed upon, but the most sensitive issue—territory—remains a minefield.
The Sticking Points
Ukraine refuses to withdraw from Donetsk; Russia demands the entire Donbas.
Zelensky proposes an economic free zone with international troops; Moscow calls it a non-starter.
Trump insists there will be a “strong security agreement,” but nobody knows what it will say.
The European Factor
Zelensky has leaned on Europe for support, meeting with leaders from Canada, Britain, France, and Germany. Canada just pledged $1.8 billion more. “Russia constantly looks for reasons not to agree,” Zelensky said. “If Moscow refuses, it means the pressure is insufficient.”
Is this summit the beginning of peace—or just another round of promises that will vanish with the next deadline?

Zelensky in Mar-a-Lago: the Meeting Radiates the Trickle of Hope 🌟✨
Trump has said talks to end the war in Ukraine are in their “final stages” as he sat down for a meeting on Sunday with Zelensky in Florida, and insisted that Putin was ready to make a peace deal. 🎯🤝
Trump met Ukraine’s president outside his Mar-a-Lago residence and claimed both warring sides were close to an agreement. Hours earlier the US president held a lengthy phone call with Putin and said he would ring the Kremlin again once talks had concluded. 📞💬
“The two leaders want it to end,” Trump said, adding: “I think we can move pretty rapidly. Otherwise it's going to go on for a very long time.” 🏃♂️⏳
Trump praised Zelensky, saying: “This gentleman has worked very hard, and is very brave, and his people are very brave.” He added: “I do think we have the makings of a deal. We have two willing countries. We are in the final stages of talking.” 🙌🏻✅
Speaking to reporters, the two leaders discussed the latest iteration of a 20-point peace plan and the unresolved question of the future of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region. 👩💼🗄
Standing next to Trump, Zelensky said US and Ukrainian negotiators had made good progress in recent weeks with “90%” of the draft agreed. 📋✅
Trump greeted Zelenskyy on the steps of Mar-a-Lago and offered him a businesslike handshake. There was no hug. 🤝😊
US officials did not meet Zelensky when he arrived at Palm Beach international airport, in contrast to the red carpet reception given to Putin by an applauding Trump at their summit in August in Alaska. 🇺🇸👏
One former Ukrainian diplomat, Maria Drutska, said Putin was trying to “sabotage things” by ringing Trump before he saw Zelensky. 🕵️♀️📞
During their previous meeting in October in the White House, Trump rowed back on the delivery of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine after a similar call to Moscow. 🚢🚪
Putin wants Ukraine to hand over territory in the north of Donetsk oblast that his forces have been unable to capture. Zelensky’s counter-proposal envisages a demilitarised zone, with both sides withdrawing from the line of contact. 🗺❌
The plan could be put to a referendum, providing Moscow first agrees to a ceasefire lasting from 60 to 90 days. 🗳📆
But fundamental problems remain, including the issue of security guarantees to prevent Russia from attacking again. Trump has made no military commitment to defend Ukraine. The original 28-point US plan was presented in November after talks with Russia and in effect demanded Ukraine’s capitulation. 🛡🚫
Speaking alongside Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, on Saturday in the wake of another large-scale air attack on Kyiv by Russia, Zelensky described the onslaught as “Russia’s answer to our peace efforts”. 💥📈
The Ukrainian president said to Carney: “We need two things, pressure on Russia and sufficient strong support for Ukraine.” Ukraine’s capital was hit by more than 500 drones and ballistic missiles across Friday night and Saturday. 💣☠️
Trump declined to condemn the latest strikes on Kyiv and did not acknowledge that Russia – unlike, in his view, Ukraine – had deliberately targeted civilians. 🦾🔥
“I believe Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also. I don't say that negatively. You probably have to,” he said, speaking outside his estate. 🏘🔥
Ukrainian officials have worked hard to repair relations with a Russia-leaning White House, while coordinating closely with European allies. 🌍🌷
Zelensky said he called Starmer on Sunday, informing him about the frontline situation and the consequences of Russian strikes. Trump said European leaders would join Sunday’s talks through a video conference link from Mar-a-Lago. 📞🖥
The Ukrainian delegation included Rustem Umerov, the head of Ukraine’s national security and defence council, the first deputy foreign minister, Sergiy Kyslytsya, and Ukraine’s new ambassador to Washington, Olha Stefanishyna. 👴👱♀️

📰 Russia Plays Peacemaker Between Israel and Syria—But Who’s Really in Charge?
Russia is stepping into the middle of the Israel-Syria conflict, quietly brokering a security deal with the U.S. nodding in approval. The latest twist? Azerbaijan is hosting secret talks, and Moscow is dispatching soldiers and gear to Syria’s coast—while Israel watches closely, hoping Russia, not Turkey, becomes the power broker in Damascus.
says a security source, as Israeli officials quietly admit they’d rather deal with Moscow than Ankara.
Putin and Syria’s interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa have met in Moscow, vowing to elevate ties to the “strategic level.” Meanwhile, Netanyahu and Putin have held four lengthy phone calls since May, hashing out how to divide influence in Syria—without letting Turkish ambitions get out of hand.
Maariv reports,
But Moscow’s real goal is clear: keep its bases, its influence, and its approval from Damascus, Ankara, and Tel Aviv.
The U.S. isn’t blocking the move. Washington is also pushing for security understandings between Syria and Israel, but it’s happy to let Russia do the heavy lifting—so long as it keeps the peace.
The Real Game
Israel wants to avoid chaos in Syria, experts say, and must turn its military victories into political wins. But that means abandoning old policies and making a deal with Damascus—something Israel has long avoided.
Russia is playing mediator, but is it really working for peace—or just making sure everyone needs Moscow to survive?

📰 National Guard Heads to New Orleans: Crime, Politics, and the Illusion of Safety
About 350 National Guard troops are rolling into New Orleans before New Year’s Eve, joining Border Patrol agents already on the ground. Louisiana’s Republican governor, Jeff Landry, says they’re here to “ensure safety during the busiest season”—but the real story is about optics, politics, and the unending war on crime in Democratic cities.
Landry told Fox News.
The move comes after President Trump pushed for federal crackdowns on cities with high crime rates—especially Democratic ones. New Orleans, Washington, and Memphis have all seen the boots of the National Guard, even as federal courts block similar deployments elsewhere.
Who’s Really in Charge?
The troops won’t have arrest powers—they’re here for show, to “increase the visibility of security assets” during Carnival and the anniversary of the Bourbon Street terrorist attack. The real enforcement? That’s left to Border Patrol, whose aggressive tactics have already drawn criticism.
The Crime-Immigration Myth
The administration and Republicans keep tying crime to immigration, but data shows immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than native-born Americans. Yet the narrative persists: send in the troops, make cities “safe,” and let the optics do the talking.
New Orleans has seen crime drop to prepandemic levels, but the National Guard is still coming. Why? Because politics needs a crisis—even if the crisis is mostly in the headlines.
Is the National Guard here to stop crime, or just to make it look like someone’s doing something?

📰 Syrian Protests Turn Deadly: Alawites Demand Security, Get Bullets
Two dead, dozens wounded—this is the price of demanding safety in today’s Syria. Alawite protests erupted across the country’s coastal provinces after a mosque bombing killed eight and injured 20, but the new government’s response was swift: more bloodshed, more chaos.
says the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Sectarian tensions are boiling over. The new rebel-led government, struggling to keep order after Assad’s fall, can’t stop revenge killings or impose real security. Alawites—long associated with the ousted regime—are now the victims, facing attacks from both state forces and armed groups.
Over 1,600 Alawites killed in March after a wave of sectarian violence.
At least two protesters dead after security forces opened fire during Sunday’s demonstrations. Conflicting reports: the government says attackers were Assad loyalists; the Observatory says victims were peaceful demonstrators.
The mosque bombing in Homs was claimed by Ansar al-Sunna—a splinter group of ISIS. They’re not done. In June, they blew up a church in Damascus, killing 25. The Syrian government called it “a cowardly criminal act,” but the people on the streets call it “chaos.”
How much longer will Syria’s minorities have to protest for safety—before someone actually listens?

The mosque bombing in Homs was claimed by Ansar al-Sunna—a splinter group of ISIS. They’re not done. In June, they blew up a church in Damascus, killing 25. The Syrian government called it “a cowardly criminal act,” but the people on the streets call it “chaos.”
How much longer will Syria’s minorities have to protest for safety—before someone actually listens?

📰 Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Diplomacy: Peace or Surrender?
President Donald Trump is hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago to finalize a peace deal that could end nearly four years of war with Russia. Ahead of the meeting, Trump claimed a “very productive” call with Vladimir Putin, while Moscow confirmed the contact but offered no details. The timing is dramatic: Russia just intensified attacks on Kyiv and eastern Ukraine, as negotiations heat up.
“I just had a good and very productive telephone call with President Putin.” — Donald Trump, Truth Social
Zelenskyy arrived in Miami determined to secure security and economic guarantees, while also addressing Donbas’s future. He said Ukraine is ready to withdraw troops from the east if Russia reciprocates and the area becomes a demilitarized zone. Yet Putin wants all captured territory—including Crimea—recognized as Russian, and demands Ukraine drop its NATO ambitions, limit its army, and accept Russian as an official language.
Trump’s approach has been clear: push Kyiv to cede land in exchange for peace and economic incentives for Moscow. His negotiators claim the draft proposal is nearly finalized, but key issues remain unresolved. Zelenskyy insists Ukraine needs strong support and international pressure to stop the war, while allies like Canada pledge more aid.
As explosions rocked Kyiv, Trump’s team offered NATO-like security guarantees, but Zelenskyy warned:
The Kremlin, meanwhile, insists any compromise will take time and blames Ukraine and its allies for derailing U.S. proposals.
So, is this the path to peace, or just another chapter in the theater of territorial bargaining?

📰 Trump and Putin Slam Ceasefire Idea: Donbas or Bust
The Kremlin just delivered the verdict: President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are united in rejecting the European-Ukrainian push for a temporary ceasefire. According to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, the two leaders believe such a pause would only prolong the war and risk renewed hostilities.
— Yuri Ushakov, Kremlin
The 75-minute call between Trump and Putin came ahead of Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Miami. Both leaders agreed that Kyiv must make a “bold decision” on Donbas—Russia wants Ukraine to withdraw from the last 10% of the region it still controls. Moscow insists this is the price for peace.
Trump, eager to end the war, reportedly listened closely to Russian assessments and pushed hard for a swift resolution. He emphasized the “impressive prospects” for economic cooperation between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine. But European allies fear Trump may sacrifice Ukraine’s interests for a quick deal, leaving them to bear the burden of rebuilding a devastated country.
So, is this the final push for peace—or just another chapter in the great Donbas poker game?

📰 Iran’s Total War Rhetoric: Smoke or Fire?
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is upping the ante, declaring his country is now in a “total war” with the U.S., Israel, and Europe. “They want to bring our country to its knees,” he told Iranian state media, arguing that the current conflict is far more complex and multidimensional than the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s.
— Masoud Pezeshkian
Pezeshkian claims Iran’s military has grown stronger since its June clashes with Israel, despite suffering heavy losses. He warned that any future attacks would be met with a “more decisive response.” Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran will not be allowed to go nuclear, and recently claimed U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites—including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—were a “spectacular military success.”
With Netanyahu and Trump set to meet at Mar-a-Lago, tensions remain sky-high. Iran’s rhetoric may be designed to rally domestic support and deter further strikes, but it also risks escalating the conflict even further.
So, is Iran’s “total war” declaration a genuine threat—or just another round of high-stakes posturing?

📰 China’s Record Drills: Taiwan Encircled, World on Edge
China just launched its largest war games around Taiwan to date, sending a clear message: Beijing can cut off the island from the outside world if conflict erupts. The drills, dubbed “Justice Mission 2025,” involved troops, warships, fighter jets, and artillery, with live fire and simulated strikes designed to test Taipei’s defenses and U.S.-made weapons.
— Hsieh Jih-sheng, Taiwan’s deputy chief of defence
The drills covered a record seven zones, some closer to Taiwan than ever before, and forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights. China’s military released propaganda videos showing futuristic tech—automated robots, microdrones, and weaponised robotic dogs—while Taiwan’s defence ministry responded with its own footage of U.S.-made HIMARS rocket systems.
Analysts say these exercises blur the line between training and actual preparation for invasion, aiming to give the U.S. and allies minimal warning. China’s state media insists the drills are a response to increased U.S.-Taiwan military cooperation, while Taiwan’s government remains on high alert, coordinating rapid-response exercises and deploying ships to face off with Chinese vessels.
So, is this just another show of force—or the opening act of something far more dangerous?
