Confessions by Hollande and Merkel are ‘formalization of betrayal’ – top Russian senator
The West has proven it only cares about territory in Ukraine, not people, Konstantin Kosachev says
Thousands of people have lost their lives in eastern Ukraine since 2014 because the West treated the Minsk agreements as scrap paper, the vice speaker of Russia’s upper house of parliament said on Saturday.
Senator Konstantin Kosachev was reacting to an admission by former French president Francois Hollande that the Minsk agreements were actually a ploy to buy time for the Kiev government to strengthen its military. This move should be credited for Ukraine’s “successful resilience” to Russia in the ongoing conflict with its neighbor, he added.

Israel rejects UN vote seeking ICJ declaration Jews occupy the Holy Land
The vote seeks an opinion from the International Court of Justice, but whatever opinion the court expresses is not binding.
Israel rejected the "distorted" United Nations' decision to seek an advisory opinion from the International Court Justice at The Hague on the legal consequences of Israel's "occupation, settlement and annexation of Palestinian territory."

RUMORS OF WAR: China and the US is on a collision course for war over Taiwan
“We can only avoid a war by preparing for a war,” said Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, approaching the end of 2022 with a stern message for her people. “Taiwan needs to strengthen our ability to defend ourselves,” Tsai said, announcing that from 2024, compulsory military service would be extended from four months to a full year.
“No one wants war,” she said. “But, my fellow countrymen, peace will not fall from the sky.” The Taiwan dispute has festered since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949, when the defeated nationalists fled to the island. The victorious Communists have been determined to take it ever since. Now, the threat of war has seemed closer than at any time in decades. In August 2022, China launched its largest military exercises in a generation — seen by many as a rehearsal for a blockade or even invasion.
China Conducts Military Maneuvers Near US Bases At Guam, Okinawa

China accuses US of ‘slander and hype’ over air incident
It’s the American spy plane that dangerously approached a Chinese jet, not the other way around, Beijing insists
Washington’s account of last week’s air incident over the South China Sea, involving a Chinese military jet and a US spy plane, disregards the truth and is “pure slander and hype,” the Defense Ministry in Beijing has said.
On Friday, the US Indo-Pacific Command claimed that a Chinese J-11 fighter approached a US Air Force RC-135 aircraft to within six meters, and that this “unsafe” move forced the American pilot to perform an evasive maneuver. It also published a video of the December 21 incident, showing the two aircraft flying close to each other.
China Moves on Taiwan in 30 Days-Forward Observer
On November 19, 2021 I wrote that I had just heard Sam Culper and team at Forward Observer predicted that war was likely in Europe in the next 90 days. On February 24, 2022 Russia began its military operation in the Ukraine.
That’s quite a call. Perhaps these intelligence professionals really are that good.
Today, I listened to the ‘China-Taiwan: 30 Day Warning’ at Forward Observer channel on YouTube. At the risk of being a bit obvious, Forward Observer is once again putting a time frame on a coming conflict: 30 days to China invading Taiwan.

WHO Director walks back his statement that some countries are using COVID-19 vaccine boosters to “kill children”
(Natural News) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, an Ethiopian microbiologist and director of the World Health Organization, (WHO) was recently captured on video saying that some countries are using COVID-19 boosters “to kill children.” This is the most honest thing that has ever come out of Tedros’s mouth. World leaders repeatedly refuse to acknowledge the data on hospitalizations and sudden cardiac deaths in the fully vaccinated and boosted.
Sadly, the WHO walked back Tedro’s statements, and fact checkers now claim that his statement was a “slip of the tongue.”
Some UK Hospitals Bring Back ‘Covid’ Restrictions
On December 29, two UK hospitals, both in Northamptonshire, reintroduced covid restrictions.
The Northampston general Hospital and Kettering General Hospitak have both suspended visits and expect patients in the hospital to wear a face mask. As it would appear the ‘good old’ NHS has learnt nothing over the past cople of years, it is quite likely that other hospitals will follow suit.
The move was rightly blasted by a television host and member of parliament

One abandoned cat hit the lifesaving lottery when a good samaritan brought her in for a check up.
They say that curiosity killed the cat - and there is at least one feline friend who knows this to be all too true. For one cat in Charleston, South Carolina, her curiosity may have had nearly fatal complications, but thanks to emergency veterinary care, she will finally see some brighter days.
The Charleston Animal Society released the details on Thursday of the miraculous survival story of an abandoned cat named Juliet and two others found to be abandoned.

He needs to walk back...off a cliff.
Totally creeping off tracks and out of control. At this rate we are going to lose the entire planet. These self appointed leaders are good only at death and destruction.
