Germany prepares for Russia to attack Nato in two years

Russia launches a full-scale war of aggression against Nato and the German armed forces are in the thick of the action from the first hours.

A 4,800-strong mechanised infantry strikes from a forward base in Lithuania before another 15,000 rapid-response troops are rushed to the front in a matter of days.

Over the weeks that follow tens of thousands of allied soldiers arrive at German North Sea ports to be shuttled east along road and rail routes plagued by Russian sabotage, cyberattacks and possibly long-range missile strikes.

Carney Says He Regrets ‘Not a Word’ of Davos Speech That Drew Trump Response

Prime Minister Mark Carney says he has no regrets about his speech at the World Economic Forum last week, which drew a sharp response from U.S. President Donald Trump and was followed by tariff threats tied to Ottawa’s push to deepen ties with Beijing.

When asked by reporters on Jan. 26 whether he regrets certain sections of his speech, or if he thinks he might have gone too far, Carney responded in French, “Not a word. Not at all.”


Why would he have regrets? He’s well insulated and never has to suffer the consequences of his own grifts.

And he’s got an election to win!

Update: Oops … Trump’s Team says Carney walked back many of his Davos comments. Carney denies it but then Carney’s memory is suspect.

90-Year-Old Raped in Nice by Man Under Deportation Order

A 90-year-old woman was raped in her home in Nice last week after opening the door to a man she believed was her nurse, with prosecutors later confirming that the suspect was living illegally in France despite being under a deportation order.

The alleged attacker, a 29-year-old Tunisian national, was arrested and placed in police custody before being formally charged with rape of a vulnerable person and remanded in pre-trial detention, according to the Nice public prosecutor.

China says Canada deal not aimed at U.S. after tariff threat

China said on Monday that a preliminary trade deal with Canada “does not target any third parties” after the United States threatened to impose 100-per cent tariffs on Canadian products if the agreement were finalised.

Under the deal, announced this month, Beijing is expected to reduce tariffs on Canadian canola imports and grant Canadians visa-free travel to China.

But over the weekend, the United States — Canada’s traditional ally — threatened to impose 100-per cent tariffs on Canadian products if the deal were to go ahead, saying it would allow China to “dump goods”.


I totally trust Xi!

John Kerry loves him some Military Industrial Complex

A moronic essay in the New York Times leaves me wondering how in the world this man became secretary of state.

John Kerry Ass Faced Hypocrite

John Kerry, Obama’s Secretary of State after Hillary, is a notoriously liberal Democrat, well known for the fraudulent tale tossing his medals over the fence at the Capitol after his return from Vietnam.  He lied about it in 1971, and kept the lie going as best he could until his run for president in 2004.  That’s a long time to maintain a lie. So when he talks, we should be suspicious.  That’s why it’s important to read between the lines of anything he says.  Happily for us, he’s just not that bright, so it ain’t hard.

China’s Top General Falls: Inside Xi Jinping’s Hollow Military Purge

OTTAWA/LOS ANGELES — The weekend delivered a jolt from Beijing that underscores a theme Chris Meyer and I have explored across multiple podcast discussions: Xi Jinping’s regime can look strong yet be brittle.

China’s Defence Ministry says it has opened investigations into senior military figures including Gen. Zhang Youxia, a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission—an escalation that is shaking the top ranks of the People’s Liberation Army and fuelling fresh questions, inside and outside China, about whether this is an anti-corruption purge, a political power struggle, or both.

How Soon They Forget

Without American sacrifice, would there be a free Europe?

When European leaders took the stage at the World Economic Forum this year, the language was familiar: partnership, shared values, transatlantic unity. What was conspicuously absent was memory. Not nostalgia, not sentiment—but memory. Because when it comes to America’s role in Europe’s survival, prosperity, and security, much of today’s European political class behaves as if history began yesterday.

Mark Carney brushes off insults and threats from Donald Trump: ‘I can handle it’

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney shrugged off Donald Trump’s dismissal of him as “governor” on Monday, casting the threat of 100 per cent tariffs against Canada as a negotiating tactic, and offering an impassioned rebuttal to the U.S. president’s insult of NATO troops in Afghanistan as slackers.

In his first full news conference in 10 days, Carney said in French that he did not regret “a word” of his Jan. 20 speech in Davos, which appeared to irritate Trump. The American president later scolded Canada from the same World Economic Forum stage for not being “grateful” and on the weekend threatened to slap 100 per cent tariffs on its goods if Canada does a “deal” with China.

France arrests two Brits for ‘inciting hatred’ after they ‘tried to take part in banned anti-migrant protest’ near Calais

Two British nationals who came to France to allegedly take part in a banned protest against migrants were arrested and taken into custody for ‘inciting hatred.’

The two men were broadcasting live videos and were arrested near the northern town of Calais on Sunday evening, the Pas-de-Calais prefecture said.

France finally arrested a couple of migrants!

Doug Ford and Mark Carney make peace after changes to Chinese EV tariff

It’s pizza in our time.

Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney made peace over Pizza Nova slices Monday in Etobicoke.
Ford, who settled for a veggie piece, bought Carney a slice of Hawaiian, joking, “I know you will probably get me on taxes so I’ll pay for this.”

Monday’s confab at a Royal York Road plaza came after the premier had complained last week that the prime minister blindsided Ontario when he slashed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles earlier this month during a trade mission to Beijing.


Dougie seems to have bought into a new vision! The ChiCom spyware on wheels is still on the way but something swayed Ford.

Doug Ford calls federal auto strategy ‘great’ and says Ontario will be part of it after meeting with Carney and Joly

Ontario Premier Doug Ford appears to have had a change of heart when it comes to the federal government’s auto strategy after hearing more about it from federal officials.

“I also want to thank Minister (Mélanie) Joly for coming up with a great auto strategy that the minister has put together that we’re going to be part of,” Ford said at a news conference with Joly at Queen’s Park Monday after the two met.

Kinda odd the way Joly is lookin at Dougie…

Vienna Refuses Statue of Christian King To Avoid Fueling ‘Islamophobia’

Jan Sobieski – The Warrior-King Who Saved Europe From Islam

A plan to honour the Polish king who saved Vienna from an Ottoman siege has sparked a diplomatic row after the Austrian capital refused to erect the monument, citing fears it could offend the Muslim community.

The long-running dispute centres on a proposed statue of King John III Sobieski, intended for Vienna’s Kahlenberg mountain—the site of his decisive victory over the Ottoman army in 1683. First proposed in 2013 and formally approved in 2018, the project had been stalled for years before being definitively rejected by the city authorities at the end of 2024.
