Brazil and Mexico Confirm Their Presence at the Inauguration of Nicolas Maduro - Telesur English

The FBI let a NY Post reporter and unofficial Israeli PR team member into the home of the New Orleans suspect to do a video tour, in which she found a keffiyeh, a Quran open to a verse about martyrdom, and bomb-making materials:

The interesting thing in the replies/quote tweets is that even the chuds, who I would assume are the NY Posts primary audience, generally seem to think this looks like an op.

South Korean police tried to arrest ousted former president Yoon Suk-yeol on charges of abuse of power and insurrection. Yoon, who is facing impeachment, ignored three summonses to testify, which led to the arrest request.

Before the police operation, Yoon Suk-yeol made a public appeal to his supporters to resist the arrest warrant. In a statement released at his official residence, he asked them to “fight together against anti-state forces”.

Hundreds of supporters responded to the call and gathered at the site, forming human barriers to prevent the police from entering. Many carried South Korean and US flags. In addition, military personnel clashed with the police.

China donates 70 tons of equipment to Cuba to restore its electric system

The People’s Republic of China has donated almost 70 tons of power generator parts and accessories to Cuba, aiming to contribute to the recovery of the Caribbean island’s electricity system.

The materials arrived in the country on Sunday (29) and were received by China’s ambassador to Cuba, Hua Xin, and Cuba’s deputy ministers of Foreign Trade and Investment, Déborah Rivas, and Energy and Mining, Tatiana Amarán.

According to Ambassador Xin, the shipment is part of China’s second assistance package in 2024 to help restore Cuba’s electricity generation capacity to around 400 megawatts (MW). As part of an “emergency project list,” the donations were included to provide Cuba with effective and rapid aid according to what the Chinese government calls “convenience for the most urgent.”

...

The donations come as the Caribbean country is facing a serious energy crisis that has worsened in recent months. This year, Cuba has suffered three total blackouts in the national electricity system, leaving the country completely in the dark. Currently, power cuts are becoming more and more constant, affecting over 40% of the population daily. The situation has seriously damaged economic activity and the population’s quality of life.

Even with this and the photovoltaic donations, it feels like China is very squeamish about helping Cuba that much. Quite disappointing. Perhaps as the US keeps driving forward on sanctions on China, they'll increasingly not care about potential consequences, but until then, Cuba suffers.

This is not very important news but the latest conspiracy theory is people taking videos of the fog and claiming that the government is spraying them with a virus. The problem is that you can't even laugh at dumbass conspiracy freaks since it wouldn't be the first time that the USA government did a secret biological warfare experiment where it sprayed bacteria on its own population. You can't make up any conspiracy theory that's more horrible than something that the USA government has already done and admitted to.

Slovakia to Retaliate Against Ukraine for Cutting Off Russian Gas - Telesur English

China's gonna reach 50,000 kilometers of high speed rail this year.

As of 2024, high-speed lines accounted for 30 per cent of the national railway operating mileage of 162,000km, a significant increase from the 20 per cent proportion reported in 2017.

With the first high-speed passenger line only opening in 2008, achieving the milestone in 2025 would indicate an extraordinary pace of expansion.

Cuba and Bolivia officially acquired the status of associate countries of the BRICS group, joining a platform that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa as founding members.

US LNG exports soar, Europe remaining the main destination

US LNG exports reached near record levels in December, rising to 8.5 million metric tonnes (MT) as two new plants started, and driving up full-year shipments 4.5% over 2023.

In 2024 Europe accounted for 55% of total US LNG exports, 34% of total US exports went to Asia while the next 11% went mainly to Latin America with a few cargoes to the Middle East, mainly to Egypt and Jordan, LSEG data showed.

I still don't really understand why Biden was considered decent on climate change, US hydrocarbon production continues climbing higher regardless of who's president.
