They argue that Spain's actions are legitimate and in line with international law, criticizing the U.S. for interfering.

Times Of Israel: New Syrian regime declares crackdown in coastal region after 14 policemen killed
Syria's new authorities have initiated a security crackdown in Tartus province following the killing of 14 policemen, targeting remnants of the ousted Assad government. This marks a significant challenge for the Sunni Islamist-led administration that took power in December.
Protests have erupted, reflecting sectarian tensions, particularly among the Alawite minority. The government has imposed a media ban on sectarian content and enforced a curfew in Homs amid unrest.

The American Mind: DEI and the CIA
The imposition of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) ideology within the U.S. Intelligence Community, particularly the CIA, is seen as detrimental to its core mission. Promotions and assignments are increasingly based on adherence to DEI principles rather than merit, leading to a workforce distracted by grievance culture and identity politics.
This shift has created an environment where senior managers focus more on managing complaints than on mission effectiveness, ultimately compromising the agency's ability to confront foreign adversaries. Critics argue that dismantling the DEI framework could restore the CIA's operational capabilities.

Breitbart: 'Terrorism Cannot be Ruled Out' Another Power Cable Cut in North Europe
An electricity interconnector between Estonia and Finland went offline on Christmas Day, prompting an investigation into possible sabotage. Two cargo ships were noted to have passed over the cable at the time of the outage, raising suspicions of intentional damage. Finnish authorities are examining the situation, with potential links to recent underwater infrastructure sabotage attributed to Russian-linked vessels.
While no power cuts occurred due to surplus energy, the Estlink-2 cable remains inoperative.

The incident reflects growing concerns over undersea sabotage in Europe amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
Breitbart: Russia Tells Trump: You Must Move First to Improve Ties

The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has led to significant casualties and a severe deterioration in U.S.-Russia relations.
