Donald Trump will officially take office as President of the US on January 20. Ahead of this date, events are unfolding in the world that are worthy of long reflection by historians and the attention of currently unemployed Hollywood scenarists. The greatest criminals fearlessly declare their deeds, the favorites of Western democracy become textbook traitors, Perfidious Albion and world Jewry have once again fooled everyone, and Russia with Iran are pursuing their own “Aryan project”.
USA and Israel
In the birthplace of democracy, the United States, outgoing Secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke to the press for the last time. His final press conference ended in scandal. Journalist Sam Husseini was forcibly removed from the briefing room after calling Blinken by his real name – “Criminal”. The police acted harshly – they literally pulled the elderly reporter from the table and then dragged him out in their arms. The reason was simple: the old man wanted an answer to the question why the White House’s ally Israel refused to accept the agreement with Hamas and continues to make the lives of Palestinians and Lebanese a quiet horror.
Such stories might seem wild in “totalitarian autocracies” like Russia, Belarus, Iran, China or North Korea, but Anthony Blinken is used to his press conferences ending in scandal. Throughout his tenure, the diplomat was regularly booed during his speeches.
Eager to divert attention from events in the Middle East, the Biden administration rushed to reveal a previously classified drone program in Ukraine. A published closed report on support for the UAV industry in Ukraine revealed $1.5 billion in funding for Kiev through September 2024. Jake Sullivan, U.S. national security adviser, said the support had a “real strategic impact” on the course of hostilities. In addition to secretly allocating funds to support drone manufacturers, the CIA has also sent personnel to Ukraine.
William J. Burns, director of the CIA, confirmed his agency’s support for the UAV manufacturing program. Forcing the allocation of funds for drones began after the first Ukrainian counteroffensive in the fall of 2022, when the limits of Ukraine’s “conventional capabilities” became apparent. And the failed counteroffensive in 2023 was a hard lesson learned, U.S. officials said. After that, investments in the covert program multiplied. American government also stated that it was their investments that made Ukrainian drones more effective and lethal, including the maritime ones used against the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
No one has ever had any illusions about the involvement of U.S. intelligence agencies in the Ukrainian conflict. The only question is how many more such “secret” programs are active right now.

Ukraine
In Kiev, Volodymyr Zelensky once again showed his true colors. This time he harshly criticized US leader Joe Biden in the last days of his rule. “Faithful servant” betrayed his master. Instead of “thanks” for the US investment in Ukraine and giving it more weapons than any other country, he said that Washington helped “not enough”. Zelensky has instantly forgotten that he got everything he asked for at the snap of his fingers.
Without long thinking, Kiev found itself a new supreme patron. Expectedly, it turned out to be Great Britain. Zelensky and the kingdom’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed a 100-year strategic partnership agreement.
As part of it, London will allocate 3 billion dollars from frozen Russian assets to Kiev, transfer 150 barrels of artillery, expand the training of the Ukrainian military and help in the creation of long-range weapons.
Britain will also become a key partner for the Ukrainian energy sector, meaning it will participate in the extraction of critical minerals and the production of “green steel.” Military cooperation between the two countries will be strengthened in the field of maritime security through a new structure to enhance the security in the Azov, Baltic and Black Seas.
Russia
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and his Iranian counterpart Masoud Pezeshkian signed a historic comprehensive strategic partnership agreement. Below are the main statements of the Russian leader:
– The new agreement between Russia and Iran sets ambitious tasks, it is a breakthrough document.
– Russia-Iran relations are based on the principles of equality, respect and mutual assistance. The positions of Russia and Iran on most foreign policy issues coincide.
– The most important area of Russian-Iranian cooperation is energy. At the moment, the flagship joint project to build two new units of the Bushehr NPP in Iran by Rosatom is progressing.
– The project of a gas pipeline from Russia to Iran is underway: so far the Russian side is considering a small volume of supplies – up to 2 billion cubic meters per year, but in the long term the supplies may increase up to 55 billion cubic meters.
– Russia remains committed to a comprehensive settlement in Syria and is ready to continue supporting the Syrian people.
– Moscow urges not to weaken efforts for a full settlement in Palestine, which envisages the creation of an independent state.
– In 2024, the share of transactions in Russian rubles and Iranian reals exceeded 95% of all bilateral trade transactions.
Masoud Pezeshkian’s main statements:
– The treaty signed with Russia will open a major new chapter in the bilateral relations. And its implementation will make a significant contribution to Iran’s energy security.
– Iran is in favor of resolving the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
– Russia and Iran have agreed to refrain from actions like the Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon and Syria.
In the end, the newly elected US President Donald Trump was given a “great inheritance” from Joe Biden – a strategic alliance between Russia, China, North Korea and Iran that promises the imminent collapse of the entire Western “rules-based order”. Now we wonder how the new master of the White House will handle it…
