The new year

has started and the despots of the world are picking up where they left off last year.

Putin is picking up where 2025 left off until the last second. He is bombing Ukraine without regard for civilians. He is allowing his shadow fleet to continue transporting oil at high risk and is continuing to attack the Western world unabashedly, for example by destroying undersea cables. And the head of the Western world, Donald Trump? He simply has the controversial ruler of Venezuela, Maduro, kidnapped by his elite unit without a second thought and put on trial in New York. His information to the public there quickly makes it clear that he is only interested in oil. And afterwards? He quickly makes it clear to the rest of the world that he also wants Greenland. But Greenland belongs to Denmark and is governed very autonomously thanks to a long diplomatic battle. Here, too, it is clear that he is only interested in the natural resources. The Western world and its close NATO allies can dress warmly for whatever else The Donald comes up with.

Oh yes, the Chinese. They are still concerned with what they see as the renegade province of Taiwan. There, too, Xi Jinping is the head of state, a man who is clearly in favour of a step backwards towards dictatorship.

We continue to believe in the good in people and wish you a pleasant start to the first working week of 2026.
