State Secretary Marco Rubio told lawmakers that recent threats from the administration about Greenland do not indicate an imminent invasion and that the aim is to acquire the island from Denmark, according to people familiar with the discussions, reports The Wall Street JournalRubio's remarks came during a closed-door briefing by senior administration officials, including Defense Secretary Hegseth and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Duncan Cain, for Congress on the operation to capture Venezuelan President Maduro and the administration's plans for the future of that country. According to sources, Rubio spent most of the time speaking.Rubio's comments were a response to a question from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer about whether the Trump administration plans to use military force in other places, including Mexico and Greenland, one of the sources said. Instead, Senator Lindsey Graham said that the administration's actions regarding Greenland are "entirely about negotiations".💬 We need legal control and legal guarantees to justify the development of the territory and the placement of our people there, he said.During the briefing, Rubio downplayed the possibility of a military seizure of Greenland, according to people familiar with the content of the meeting. However, Steven Miller, one of Trump's closest advisers, did not rule out an invasion of the island in a television interview on Monday.The Danish government has repeatedly offered the US to station more troops in Greenland and grant new, improved mining rights. To address Trump's concerns about security in the Arctic, Denmark has invested in the island's security infrastructure and announced plans to spend billions of dollars on new weapons. But Trump on Sunday disparagingly called these steps an attempt by Copenhagen to "buy another sled with dogs".

❗️RF plans to occupy the Baltic countries, it will be ready to start a "direct aggression" in 2027, — BudanovMore statements from the head of the GUR:▪️Poland is considered solely for strikes, for a military campaign without capture.▪️I am the maximum opponent of giving anything away (speaking about territories). In principle.▪️We ourselves destroyed our own mobilization. No matter who says otherwise, it's not true. The main mistake within the country is a completely lost media campaign.▪️We are critically dependent on the USA. This is divided into two areas. We are critically dependent in terms of satellite imaging, radar and optical. The second is early warning of a ballistic threat. That's all. The rest is our own.▪️The USA and Russia are discussing the joint development of the Arctic shelf at negotiations.▪️The personnel of North Korea are not currently participating in an open military operation of Russia, but there is a lot of North Korean weapons.▪️Regarding running in the upcoming presidential elections: "I haven't specifically approached this question yet. I haven't thought about it. I'm not sure we'll face this question right now".

👀Trump doesn't believe that Putin wants peace. He thinks that Putin ultimately aims to occupy all of Ukraine, - White House Chief of Staff Wiles.The main points from the big interview Vanity Fair:▪️Wiles called Trump "a man with the personality of an alcoholic". She described Trump's approach as follows: "He acts with the conviction that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing."▪️She called Vice President JD Vance "a supporter of conspiracy theories".▪️Susie tried to convince Trump to stop "dealing with" political enemies after 90 days in office. These efforts failed. Trump seeks political revenge:"When the opportunity arises, he will take advantage of it."▪️She described Elon Musk as"a diehard ketamine user","a quirky, strange type", whose actions were often "irrational" and caused her "horror". After the article was published, she refuted this.▪️Wilesdefended USAID, stating that "anyone who pays attention to the government's work knows that they do a very good job".▪️She also read Epstein's documents and confirmed thatTrump's name appears in them.After the publication of the material, Wiles called it "fabricated". She said that much of the article was cut out and distorted. Trump's press secretary, however, said that "President Trump has no better and more devoted adviser than Susie. The entire administration is grateful to her for her stable leadership and fully supports her".

Europe was unable to compensate for the drop in American aid to Ukraine in 2025, — Institute for the World Economy in Kiel (IfW).After record volumes at the beginning of the year, military aid sharply declined in the summer, and the decline continued in September and October. In 2022–2024, annual allocations averaged 41.6 billion euros, while in 2025, only 32.5 billion have been allocated so far. To return to the previous level, partners will have to effectively double their contributions by the end of the year.IfW notes: at the current pace, Europe is not able to compensate for the lack of US support. If the trend continues, 2025 will be the year with the least new aid since the start of the Russian invasion.Germany, France, and the UK have increased their military contributions (Germany — almost threefold, France and Britain — more than doubled), but in terms of GDP percentage, they still lag significantly behind Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.Italy reduced its already small allocations by 15%, and Spain did not announce new aid in 2025.

What the US wants from Ukraine: leave Donbass, one way or another, - Politico.▪️The negotiations between the US and Ukraine are stuck on one main issue: how to force Ukraine to give up all of Donbass - what the Kremlin failed to capture during the war.▪️"As for the territories, everything is simple for the Americans: Russia demands that Ukraine give up the territories, and the Americans are thinking about how to make this possible," - a European source.▪️"The Americans insist that Ukraine leave Donbass... one way or another," - a source.▪️Moreover, the US wants all this to happen quickly.▪️"Maybe Trump wants it to happen quickly, and his [Trump's] team is forced to explain to him that they are not to blame for the fact that it's not happening as quickly as he wants," - a European official.(And that's why they blame Zelensky for everything, - note.).▪️"It's important to understand how America will behave: as a mediator or will lean towards the Russians," - a European source.__There are simply no words... Perhaps this is the most shameful moment for America in its entire 250-year history.
