(Obama's political home-turf) Trump plans huge Chicago illegal immigrant raid – WSJ
Federal agents will reportedly target aliens with criminal backgrounds during the week-long operation The president-elect has appointed former ICE Director Tom Homan as his ‘border czar’, and tasked him with carrying out the deportations. “We’re going to start right here in Chicago, Illinois,” Homan said at a Republican dinner in the city last month. “And if the Chicago mayor doesn’t want to help, he can step aside. But if he impedes us, if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien, I will prosecute him.”
Chicago was chosen as the location of the first raid because of its high numbers of illegal immigrants and Trump’s animosity with the city’s Democratic mayor, Brandon Johnson, the Wall Street Journal’s sources said. https://www.rt.com/news/611138-trump-immigrant-raid-chicago/

Gilbert Doctorow, Iran-Russia Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation Finally Signed! Vladimir Putin and President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian who is in Moscow on a state visit both spoke briefly at the ceremony. The body language was unmistakable: both appeared to be well satisfied with the document in their hands. Why? About the content of the treaty, we learned almost nothing today. In particular, we heard nothing about what its provisions may be in the sphere of military cooperation, which should have been the critical element justifying the conclusion of a treaty right now given the fragile situation in the neighborhood of Iran resulting from Israel’s rampage these past months.
By widespread agreement of experts, Israel’s crushing blows to Hamas, to Hezbollah and to the various Iranian proxy forces in Syria should have brought Russia and Iran together to ensure that Teheran has the military hardware to protect itself against possible air and missile attack by Israel with American support, should Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, or his successor, finally proceed with plans to erase Iran from the map in the Middle East. https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/01/17/iran-russia-treaty-on-comprehensive-strategic-cooperation-finally-signed/
Simplicius, Russia-Iran's Landmark Agreement Imitated in Starmer's Last Minute Kiev Stunt Russian analyst Starshe Edda provides commentary on the difference between the two strategic partnerships with North Korea and now Iran:
The key difference between Russia's treaties with Iran and the DPRK is the issue of alliance. The treaty signed with Pyongyang – unconditionally union, it contains more substantial obligations of the parties for military support than most of these documents today, including the notorious 1949 North Atlantic Treaty, which formed the NATO bloc. In accordance with Article 4, the parties expressly, without any reservations about consultations and so on, undertake to provide each other with military and other assistance by all available means.
The agreement with Iran is different. Its article 3 provides for an obligation, if one of the parties is attacked, not to support the aggressor and to help resolve the conflict.
This is a fundamental difference in the current warring world, and the grounds for it are clear: Russia and Iran have fairly different views on the world, including in the Middle East, and it would be unnecessary to fit in with Tehran’s obligation to cover it in the event of an attack – most Iranian conflicts lie outside the field of Russian interests. As well as vice versa.
But here is what Iran and [Russia] can help each other – including in terms of circumventing the – sanctions regimes, we will help each other. Including in the production of weapons. At the same time Keir Starmer made a ‘surprise visit’ to Kiev where he attempted to upstage Russia by likewise signing a “100-year partnership” with Ukraine, pledging billions of UK citizens’ tax dollars. Starmer promised to ‘explore options for [British] military bases in Ukraine’. The full agreement on the official UK Gov site can be read here. The common understanding is that Starmer was sent by his globalist masters to prevent Zelensky from falling under Trump’s persuasion for ending the war... ..This came on the heels of reports that the UK and France have continued ‘secret meetings’ regarding peace keeper troop deployments to Ukraine... ..To me, this is all nothing more than the same old attempts to come up with a joint plan for protecting Ukraine from falling when the point comes that Russia totally overruns AFU lines, and the AFU begins collapsing en masse... ..The “allies” know they have a limited number of troops at their disposal, so they’re desperately trying to decide whether it’s more efficacious to protect the Dnieper zone, the capital of Kiev, or something else—like Odessa. In truth, Russia won’t care much because Article 5 doesn’t apply to Ukrainian territory, and the prospective NATO contingents in Ukraine won’t have much logistics backends or local infrastructure to deal with a major Russian push... ..Two nights ago Ukraine launched arguably their largest drone attack of the entire war on Russia, spurring concerns that all those promised Western ‘programs’ to supercharge Ukraine’s drone production have finally come into full bloom:..
..This comes right after the NY Times announced a new secret program by the US to fund Ukraine’s drone development to the tune of an additional $1.5 billion black budget dollars, not ledgered in the previous Biden admin funds. And this program had only run from 2024 onward, rather than the beginning of the war. The New York Times, citing a declassified document, writes about investing $ 1.5 billion in the development of UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from September 2024. This is among other secret infusions that we don't know about. According to Jake Sullivan, the US national Security Adviser, this investment had a "real strategic impact" on the course of hostilities. The money was allocated for the purchase of spare parts, the process is controlled by CIA special agents sent to Ukraine... ..Forbes reports the long awaited Anduril ‘Hyperscale’ drone plant is finally going up in Ohio, due to become the ‘largest ever’ infrastructure project in Ohio history... ..In response to Ukraine’s attacks Russia launched its own series of withering strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure:
In response to ATACMS strikes and an attempt to disrupt gas supplies through the "Turkish Stream," the Russian Armed Forces targeted gas and energy infrastructure in Ukraine... ..Russian missile strikes in Krivoy Rog killed a Danish F-16 instructor.
In today's strikes on the aviation college in Krivoy Rog, a NATO pilot instructor from Denmark was killed. His friends confirmed to death on social media today.
The Dane had allegedly leaked his location to a local prostitute... ..Ukraine has been making innovations in the drone department. I reported a couple weeks back about how Ukraine’s new naval drones were armed with Soviet R-73 air-to-air missiles, and had already successfully shot down Russian helicopters near Crimea.
Now a Tor air defense system was hit by a Ukrainian naval drone which was acting as a mothership for FPVs. The naval drone delivered the FPVs to Crimea, presumably also acting as their signal extender, allowing them to then take off to find and destroy the shore-based Tor unit.
That said, Russia has momentarily jumped far ahead in the drone race, with announcements claiming that the fiber-optic ‘Vandal’ drones are set to be mass-produced in five separate factories... ..Trump's team is developing a massive sanctions strategy to force a deal between Russia and Ukraine in the coming months
At the same time, the United States intends to put pressure on Iran and Venezuela, Bloomberg reports, citing sources.
Two main approaches are considered:
a set of policy recommendations - if the future administration believes that a resolution to the war in Ukraine is in sight - "includes some good-faith measures in favor of sanctioned Russian oil producers that could help broker a peace deal." That is, easing sanctions against Russia,
new sanctions and increased pressure if it becomes clear that Russia refuses to end the war... ..Well, this is why Russia is now signing various comprehensive deals with friendly states, sanctions-proofing itself for this very possibility. Russia has been the most sanctioned country on earth for several years running.
NYT: The US secretly invested in the development of drone production in Ukraine
The US has secretly invested in Ukrainian drone production for the war against Russia, making Ukrainian drones "more effective and deadly"...
..In addition to technical support, the US has spent significant funds, including $1.5 billion sent last September, to stimulate drone production in Ukraine.
Jake Sullivan, the US presidentʼs national security adviser, said this support has "real strategic impact" on the war. “We have seen UAVs become increasingly central to the fight in Ukraine and will be central to all future battles,” Sullivan said.
He also noted that work on drones began after the first counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the fall of 2022, when the limits of Ukraineʼs conventional capabilities became apparent. Work also continued in 2023.
However, the newspaper writes, citing sources, that the 2023 counteroffensive was a “hard lesson” for them, as Russian drones attacked tanks and armored vehicles provided by the US and Europe as they tried to overcome minefields. After that, the US increased support for Ukrainian drone manufacturers. Washington also sent intelligence officials to Ukraine to help develop the program and worked to establish ties between American technology companies and Ukrainian drone manufacturers. https://babel.ua/en/news/114554-nyt-the-us-secretly-invested-in-the-development-of-drone-production-in-ukraine
EU’s Kallas rules out lifting Russia sanctions, Hungary has refused to commit to renewing the Ukraine-related restrictions Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has refused to commit to extending the sanctions until he can discuss them with US President-elect Donald Trump, who is scheduled to be sworn in on Monday.

Ban on UNRWA will make plight of Gazans much worse and undermine ceasefire, agency’s chief warns The head of the largest aid agency for Palestinians has warned that the full implementation of a new Israeli law preventing its workers from operating within the country would be “catastrophic” for Gaza, “massively” weaken the international humanitarian response there, and make already “dire and catastrophic” living conditions “immeasurably” worse.
It would also undermine the Gaza ceasefire agreement, said Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner general of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees... UNRWA’s mandate and capacity to provide services ‘far exceed any other entity’ and they could only be transferred to a functioning Palestinian state institution, he says. https://www.arabnews.com/node/2586856/middle-east
Schrodinger's ceasefire: Netanyahu's pledge to resume Gaza war breaches ceasefire deal: officials Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to his coalition partners to resume the war in Gaza after implementing the first stage of the ceasefire deal with Hamas, would breach the terms of the deal, informed officials have said.
Israeli Kan Radio yesterday quoted Israeli officials involved in the ceasefire talks as saying that “any pledge by Netanyahu to his political partners to return to fighting after the first stage is a breach of the agreement which is also likely to thwart the first stage.”
Israeli Finance Minister and leader of the far-right Religious Zionism Party, Bezalel Smotrich met earlier with Netanyahu and demanded the bombing of Gaza be resumed after the first stage of the deal as a condition to accepting it, however media reports indicated that the meetings did not result in an agreement.
Later, the Religious Zionism Knesset bloc issued a statement expressing “strong opposition” to the deal, adding that the party would quit the ruling coalition if Smotrich’s demand was not met. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250117-netanyahus-pledge-to-resume-gaza-war-breaches-ceasefire-deal-officials/

Several days old: Israel Kills Two Soldiers and a Civilians in First Attack on New Syrian Government Forces, Turkey demands Israel withdraw troops from southern Syria
Despite hundreds of Israeli airstrikes on remnants of the Assad government across Syria in the past month,this is significant because it is the first time Israel has attacked active personnel with the new, post-Assad government.
Israel was supposed to be happy with the regime change, and Prime Minister Netanyahu even took credit for Assad’s ousterlast month. This did come withIsrael’s invasion and occupation of significant territory in southern Syriathough, including parts of the Quneitra and Daraa Governorates.
In recent days, Israel has been more openly hostile toward the HTS, and used this as an excuse for extending their occupation of those parts of Syria indefinitely.TheHTS has talked about trying to be on friendly terms with Israel, but this doesn’t seem to be in the cardsat the end of the day.
Israel has taken the demilitarized zone previously held by the UN Syria Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF), along with some towns and villagesacross the zone in Syria itself.

Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ in farm sludge pose health threats, EPA report finds
PFAS in sludge can contaminate crops, livestock and drinking water, and persist in the environment for decades.
Exposure to PFAS chemicals like PFOA and PFOS is linked to cancer, liver damage, and immune system dysfunction.
Farmers face contamination crises, with some forced to shut down operations, while states lack consistent regulations.
Critics urge federal action to regulate PFAS in sludge and prevent further contamination of farmland and water systems. https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-01-17-toxic-forever-chemicals-farm-sludge-threats.html
