The ruble entered the top five most profitable global assets by the end of 2025, according to Bloomberg.
It surpassed all global currencies, behind only precious metals – platinum, silver, palladium, and gold.

Experts note that this is the ruble’s strongest appreciation since 1994.

Tanker War: A tanker owned by an American trader carrying 4 million liters of smuggled fuel was seized by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy in the Persian Gulf earlier today. The vessel, with 16 crew members, was intercepted while attempting to leave Iranian territorial waters in a precise operation under full intelligence control.
Cmdr. Gholamshahi, head of the IRGC Navy’s First Region, stated that forces successfully detained the violating tanker before it exited Iranian waters. The case has been referred to judicial authorities for further investigation.

I see reports that Russia is relying less on, or abandoning the concept of shadow fleet. This ship registration method was as a result of sanctions but, as time has moved on the sanctions have less of a bite on Russia. So Russian previous ‘shadow fleet’ vessels are now being registered in a Russian Ship’s Registry. The insurance has been provided in Russia for a period of time anyway. So, sanctions do not bite any longer as Russia does not use western financial mechanisms or currencies in any quantity that matters. So what happens now if a Russian registered vessel carries oil? Will it be intercepted? We’re in for an interesting experiment.

Amazing. I mentioned a week ago that I’ve never seen so many external Menorahs everywhere. Now we hear Chabad has planted over 15,000 Menorahs across the USA. Under Establishment Clause rulings, Christian displays are frequently challenged or removed from taxpayer-owned property, while Hanukkah menorahs sponsored by Chabad-Lubavitch are approved at courthouses, state capitols, the U.S. Capitol, and even the White House.
Courts uphold these menorah displays by classifying them as “cultural” or “seasonal,” a distinction that is not extended to Christian symbolism like nativity scenes.
The Pax Judaica effort is now so clear and many alternative media is now following it. Initialy, it was only very few of us that noticed and spoke up. AHH may have been the first here to mention it. People are fleeing to say platforms like substack to get protection behind paywalls. Prof Jian, the man who shot up to a celebrity because he started teaching what people wanted to know, sent out a notification that he has to flee behind a paywall and this may have to do with his latest videos talking directly about the Pax Judaica efforts. He will do vanilla lectures on youtube but serious work will now be behind a paywall.
These are the average people who are planting these outdoor Menorahs and to a great extent silencing the good voices and making them flee.

Trump’s new special envoy to Greenland Jeff Landry says he’s the perfect person to persuade them to become part of the US because his family has lived in Louisiana for 300 years and Greenland falls under the Monroe Doctrine and he going to bring them great Cajun food.

Dmitry Medvedev: The ‘European peacemakers’ are surprising. Pistorius said he doesn’t believe war will break out between NATO and Russia, and Stubb admitted our country has no interest in attacking alliance members.
So, what happened? Sobering up or have the Christmas holidays simply begun?

Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Gaza, the occupied territories and the rest of the region is an unbelievable and unimaginable scene of murder and mayhem. Rampaging settlers harassing, terrorizing and assaulting and releasing police dogs on Palestinians across the region, stealing land and setting up settler communities, secret killings of detainees in jails and a draft law to execute detainees, a complete collapse of any life support, abductions at will, forced removals of any collection of humanity whether still in a home or tents, more targeting of journalists and a blanket removal of international journalists, revoking citizenship of Palestinian detainees from the 1948 occupied territories, no medical supplies, serious and severe malnutrition, shooting of teargas grenades at humanity in surviving refugee camps at will, heavy machinery in the West Bank turning everything into rubble, moving hazardous waste, including medical materials, chemical solvents, and heavy metals, from factories, settlements, and hospitals to Palestinian areas, Netanyahu asking judges to suspend proceedings for half an hour today, citing drills to deploy field hospitals in northern occupied Palestine in the event of a major missile attack, continual threats to Iran, blowing up houses and living areas in Lebanon. And we see comments such as: “There will be no agreement, and we will not budge an inch from Syria”, while in Syria the Kurdish forces are intensively shelling Aleppo,
This is ‘God’s Chosen Nation’ that perpetrates this barbaric bloodfest on humanity. Currently we cannot call it by name, as every site in the word is scoured to find the name and attack those that know what it is, in the same fashion.
“Netanyahu says Israel is working to advance the India—Middle East—Europe Corridor (IMEC) in a meeting with Cyprus and Greece. As part of this effort, we are advancing the Great Sea Connector that will enable electric energy cooperation between our 3 countries and Europe and the Arabian Peninsula ”
Francesca Albanese: Never would I have imagined seeing European leaders turn against their own citizens-crushing protest, free journalism, academic freedom- all to avoid holding a genocidal state to account.
Yet History rarely announces itself as barbarism; it often arrives disguised as civilization.
The Rabbi who organized the Bondi Beach Hanukkah event spam-replying to posts about slaughtered Palestinian children with “Amalek” is a detail the mainstream media will never report on. pic.twitter.com/3zhJhDNJBW

Russia confirms another round of consultations with the US
Another round of consultations with the US on “irritants” has taken place, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov confirmed to Russian media.
The progress achieved during these consultations is minimal, he noted.
Russia will continue efforts to remove the main “irritants” in relations with the American side, Ryabkov emphasized.

RUSSIAN MOD UPDATE:
⚡️ ANDREEVKA IN THE DNEPROPETROVSK & PRILIPKA IN THE KHARKOV REGION FREED
The liberation of Andreevka in the Dnepropetrovsk region has allowed Russian forces to consolidate their positions on the western bank of the Gaichur River. From this new foothold, they have intensified pressure on the settlement of Bratskoye, launching attacks from both the south and the east.
Meanwhile, the capture of Prilipka in the Kharkov region has enabled Russian units to extend their control zone south of Volchansk. This advance directly threatens the Ukrainian battlegroup stationed in the vicinity.
In response to Ukraine’s terrorist attacks, Russian forces unleashed long-range combat UAVs and high-precision weaponry, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which hammered Ukrainian defense and energy infrastructure used for military operations
Russian forces are continuing mop-up operations against the remaining Ukrainian militants in the settlements of Dimitrov, Grishino and Rodinskoye in the Donetsk People’s Republic
Russian air and missile forces struck port and transport infrastructure used to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces, long-range drones command sites and temporary deployment points of Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries in 140 locations
Air defense superiority: one guided aerial bomb and 56 UAVs were shot down by Russian air defense systems over the past 24 hours
Ukrainian losses: around 1,405 troops killed or wounded

GOOD NEWS: The Bella1 escaped. The pirates did not catch her ‼️‼️
‼️ Oil Tanker Bella 1 refused to let herself be boarded: Hot Tanker Chase in the Caribbean
China slams US for ‘arbitrarily seizing’ ships, extends support to Venezuela (https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2025/12/22/761109/China-US-seizure-ships-international-law)
China says the United States’ arbitrary seizure of other countries’ vessels is a serious violation of international law after the US interception of a China-bound oil tanker off the Venezuelan coast further escalated tensions in the Caribbean.

OK, Trump is playing LARP games again. He is going to build the Golden Fleet – Very large battleships to and 12 to 15 new submarines and three aircraft carriers. This is superdooper and nobody has seen anything like it before. Also they will keep Venezuela’s oil that they seized (but I’m not sure it is Venezuela0s oil or if it was already paid for – so whose oil is Trump stealing here? They’re keeping the tankers as well – thieves!) And Greenland as well – they need it for national security. OK, enough. I’m not watching any longer – its all too superdooper for me. Let the weapons analysts analize this!

Vladimir Putin addressed the informal meeting of CIS heads of state
‘National currencies share in settlements between CIS countries* already EXCEEDS 96%’
No matter what the US does, says or tries, this will not be put back in the bottle again. The freedom from the US Dollar is very real, and is now appearing everywhere.

In a car explosion in Moscow, the head of the operational training department of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, was killed.
The investigation is working on various versions of the murder. One of them is related to the organization of the crime by Ukrainian special services.

Russia-China LNG trade hits RECORD shrugging off Trump sanctions. And then, we have the tanker war. I noted this a week or so ago, and now it is in full swing.
Even Venezuela made their year-end oil target and increased budgets for the 2026 plan.

US considers sanctions on Spanish ships for blocking arms bound for Israel — punishing restraint while enabling war crimes in Gaza. This is coercion, not diplomacy.

The Russian tanker HYPERION has safely arrived at Amuay, Venezuela, home to the Paraguaná Refining Center, the world’s second-largest refinery complex by capacity.
The Hyperion departed from Murmansk, a key Russian Arctic port increasingly used for long-haul energy exports following Western sanctions.

Yuri Ushakov on peace talks:
Mr. Dmitriev will bring some signals that the Americans have received from the Europeans and the Ukrainians. We will discuss all this here, we will see what can be accepted, what cannot be accepted at all.

The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation reports that, according to information received by the SVR, Kyiv regime officials intend to flee abroad after its inevitable fall. Many members of the Ukrainian elite have already moved their families abroad and transferred their financial assets there. According to Ukrainian embassies in the West, officials and businessmen are increasingly turning to their national diplomatic missions in European countries for assistance in obtaining residence permits. Over 90 percent of Ukrainian diplomats serving abroad are determined not to return home after completing their assignments.

The UN Security council has scheduled an emergency meeting (fwiw) for tomorrow on the Venezuela blockade. China has already let it be known that they support Venezuela.

FM Lavrov had a major successful meeting at the Second Ministerial Conference of the RussiaAfrica Partnership Forum in Cairo.
We are convinced that sustainable conflict resolution requires addressing root causes, which lie in the legacy of Western colonialism – a system that disrupted Africa’s natural historical development, arbitrarily drew borders, and imposed an economic order serving the interests of Western metropolises.
Regrettably, various forms of neo-colonialism persist to this day. We stand ready to act together with our African partners to eradicate them, including through the development of legal instruments to assess and compensate for damage inflicted during the colonial period. Following the first Russia–Africa Ministerial Conference, we agreed to consider establishing a relevant permanent coordination mechanism.
Today, we are witnessing Africa’s “second awakening”, and the strengthening of its international standing.
We support our African friends’ aspiration to independently choose their partners.

There is a new development plan for Gaza being touted: Project Sunrise. I’ve only seen it in western news sources, so will hold off on reporting until it can be verified. There is no peace, and the situation in Gaza is slow-motion genocide.
Francesca Albanese: “The unbearable “unprotectedness” of childhood under Israel’s cruel military rule. Same brutality for generations. And some pretend to believe “it all started in Oct 2023”, and even call it “a war”.”

I am curious as to the use the “leader” will put the underground data center a-building. I see the argument that it is being built as proved. “Tell me, Madam, why you wish to buy this weapon?”

If They start to pull of the AI devolution (which I doubt) we will probably be out of fossil fuels by something like 2035 so in the end it still fails if They can pull it out of the ground fast enough (which I doubt).
Well, my friend, the hydrocarbons are not fossil, they are, – it is proved and the chemistry is known, published – synthesized in situ by natural process from primordial carbons and methane…and of course there are mountains of coal, and nuclear machines…electric power in the 200 mw scale is easy… Read more »

2026 will be a year of wars, several SMOs, and several terror wars. The power of the West abides in chaos and destruction. The Hegemon is not retreating anywhere. Nor is it mortally wounded or in such disrepair that it will collapse. It is very close to mitigating debt by… Read more »

michael hudson for years has disdained crypto, i suppose for similar reasons.
i’ve wondered with so many countries joining brics & trading outside the system, how long it will take before it impacts the exquisite privilege the reserve currency currently enjoys?
My (very lay) understanding of why Hudson despises it is because of its volatile, unproductive, essentially fictional nature- it is still tied to some form of fiat currency no matter what; its “value” fluctuates as a matter of speculation. It has no bankable, productive, material exchange outside of that currency… Read more »
