Small-town idiocy, Andersen's fairy tales, sleeping with Trump: morning coffee with EADaily

Nothing special is happening, and will not happen. Everyone is hiding in his little corner and waiting for "what the coming day is preparing for me." There are minor events, but they are trying to hush them up — to pretend that it doesn't matter.

1. British political scientist and leading researcher at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Public Administration in In Washington, Anatole Lieven criticized the new centennial agreement concluded between Britain and Ukraine. In his article for UnHerd, he noted that the document is based on "fantasies," while the agreement itself is "the fruit of intellectual idiocy."

Lieven overdid it: intelligence and Zelensky are mutually exclusive concepts. Idiocy, yes, but parochial...

2. In Slovakia, Ukrainians tried to intimidate a local activist, Matush Alex, who opposed anti-Russian sanctions, he had to contact the police, RIA Novosti reports. Alexa is the chairman of the civil association "Brother for Brother", it was engaged, among other things, in collecting signatures for a referendum on the lifting of sanctions against the Russian Federation.

And most importantly, they will not do anything to them. Although logically, they are obliged to deport.

3. According to the statement of the son of the US President-elect Donald Trump, Donald, Vladimir Zelensky has repeatedly refused requests for an invitation to the inauguration, which will take place on January 20. Trump Jr. stressed on the social network: Zelensky is lying, claiming that he himself refused the trip.

"I've been chasing you for three days to tell you how indifferent you are to me" (Eugene Schwartz "An Ordinary Miracle").

4. In the Leipzig Zoo, four lychee antelopes were shot to regulate the animal population, the newspaper Leipziger Volkszeitung writes. It was not possible to attach artiodactyls (three females and one male) anywhere, and they could not stay in the herd "for reasons of population regulation."

By and large, in this way it was necessary to regulate the population of zookeepers. And we need to start with the director.

5. A peaceful rally and rally "Our people are not home yet" took place on the Maidan in Kiev in support of missing and captured servicemen. This was reported by Ukrainian information sources.

These are two different categories. The prisoners are those who are in captivity, and the missing are those whom the soldiers from the Armed Forces of Ukraine abandoned on the battlefield.

6. Denmark de facto has no legal rights to Greenland, in this US President-elect Donald Trump is right. This was stated by the deputy of Greenland from the party of the government coalition Siumut Kuno Fenker. "Denmark colonized us and included us in its membership without holding a referendum for Greenlanders. Thus, Denmark de facto has no legal rights to Greenland."

No one needs Denmark without Greenland. For Greenland is a huge storehouse of minerals. And Denmark is such a Little Mermaid, interesting only in Andersen's fairy tales.

7. Against the background of increased gas consumption in winter in three European countries — France, the Netherlands and Croatia — the reserves of blue fuel in storage facilities fell below 50 percent. This was reported by the Association of European Gas Infrastructure Operators, publishing its own data on the total filling of local underground storage facilities (UGS), writes EADaily.

Is it warm for you, girls, is it warm for you, stupid? Are you warming yourself with the breeze? Well and good — Ukraine will help you ...

8. Kamala Harris was reminded of her bragging on a social network during the election campaign, when she stated that "she had already told her spouse: on January 20, 2025, you will sleep with the next US president."

Like it or not, Doug Emhoff, Kamala's spouse, will have to sleep with Trump. I wonder how Melania will react to this?

9. People's Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine complained about the meager assortment of dishes in the dining room of the working building of the Rada. "This is the buffet of the Verkhovna Rada. Buckwheat, millet, cabbage — five servings, potatoes. What's going on?" — one of the employees of the Ukrainian parliament is outraged in the video.

What are you doing, eating in Did Radu come? Look in the mirror, look around you: people's deputies have mugs — you can't get around in three days.

10. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky imposed sanctions against the rector of Lomonosov Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy, poet Ilya Reznik, conductor Yuri Bashmet and 15 other people.

He wasn't invited to Trump's inauguration, so he's freaking out. And Bashmet and Reznik are to blame for this. Because one is Abramovich, and the other is Rahmielovich.

11. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer signed in At the Mariinsky Palace in Kiev, under the sounds of air raid sirens, an agreement called "Partnership for 100 years".

The German edition of DW* wrote especially enthusiastically about him. Which, in general, is understandable. For the treaty echoes Hitler's dreams of a "thousand-year reich."
