EU has blacklisted Russia for risk of money laundering, “This will slow down and increase the costs of transactions with Russian banks” Kallas says. Alright, so the EU has finally put Russia on a blacklist due to the risks of money laundering. Seems like a pretty significant move, and the stated goal is to slow down and increase the costs of financial transactions with Russian banks.

Greece’s unemployment rate hit a 22-year low of 7.5% in December, according to the National Statistical Authority (ELSTAT), marking the second-best performance since 2004.

Man With Pizza Cutter Is Said to Have Tried to Break Mangione Out of Jail, and honestly, the sheer audacity of it all is captivating, isn’t it? The image alone – a man, reportedly from Minnesota, no less – showing up at a federal jail in Brooklyn, impersonating an FBI agent, and wielding a pizza cutter, is something straight out of a movie. You can’t make this stuff up! The fact that he was allegedly trying to free Luigi Mangione, who, let’s be honest, has become somewhat of a folk hero in certain circles, just adds another layer of intrigue.

New Zealand declines invite to join Board of Peace. The news, from what I gather, is pretty straightforward. New Zealand, in a move that’s been greeted with everything from wry amusement to outright approval, has declined an invitation to join this “Board of Peace”. And let’s be honest, the company on the guest list, or rather, the lack thereof, probably played a big part in their decision.
This “Board of Peace,” from the sounds of it, isn’t exactly a who’s who of global diplomacy. Sure, you’ve got Belarus on board, which is… interesting. Then there’s a smattering of countries, like Hungary, some of the Central Asian states, and those oil-rich Middle Eastern monarchies.… Continue reading
New Zealand declines Donald Trump’s invite to join Gaza “Board of Peace”. The news of New Zealand’s decision to decline Donald Trump’s invitation to join his proposed “Board of Peace” for Gaza is hardly surprising. Considering the nature of the board, which many perceive as a veiled attempt to exploit a war-torn region for financial gain, it’s easy to understand why the invitation was met with resistance. Joining a board that seems more interested in extracting wealth than fostering actual peace is not something any self-respecting nation would readily embrace.
The list of countries declining the invitation to join this board is already quite extensive, including Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the UK, Norway, Sweden, Slovenia, Ukraine, Croatia, Greece, and Italy.… Continue reading

Following recent fatal shootings by federal officers, Representative Delia C. Ramirez is advocating for the dismantling of the entire Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Citing the extended tenures of the officers involved and their alleged high levels of training, Ramirez asserts that the issue lies not in training, but in DHS’s inherent structure. Ramirez calls for the dismantling of DHS, contrasting with Democratic leaders who have proposed reforms and increased funding for agencies like ICE. She argues that DHS, since its inception, has been built to violate rights and operate with impunity, and that calls for reform fall short of addressing the underlying issues.
