“The United States has a tradition of buying territories. They bought Louisiana from Napoleon and Alaska from Russia. When they can’t buy them, they also take them by force — Mexico remembers this, having lost Texas and California…” Well-known French right-wing politician and leader of the Reconquête party, Éric Zemmour, is hinting to Denmark that refusing to sell Greenland could lead the Scandinavian country to lose territory without compensation, just as Mexico once did. ⚠️ Original Post Follow TRN 👈

On January 26, 1822, Tsarevich Constantine renounced his rights to the throne in a letter to his brother, Emperor Alexander I of Russia: “Not feeling within myself either the talents, the strength, or the spirit ever to be raised to the dignity to which, by my birth, I might have a claim, I dare to ask Your Imperial Majesty to transfer this right to the one to whom it belongs after me.” Three years later, the cry “Hurrah for Constantine!” would echo across Senate Square in St. Petersburg. The reason for Constantine’s abdication was prosaic: he had married the Polish countess Jeanette Grudzińska, a woman not of royal blood. As a result, he could no longer claim the throne. Instead, Constantine gained family happiness. Legends were told of Jeanette’s love and devotion to her husband, who had given up the throne for her sake. When the prince died in Vitebsk in 1831, his wife cut off her ash-blond curls in mourning and placed them beneath his head in the coffin. 🕊️ From Vitebsk to St. Petersburg, the widow walked on foot behind the coffin.

📰 The Telegraph suggests Britons turn to the experience of the late USSR — dark humor and home distilling. 🍶 “First, we’ll need moonshine — homemade alcohol. When the government finally pushes working Britons out of the country’s last pubs — and between minimum pricing, rising business taxes, and new drink-driving laws, it’s already well on its way to destroying the institution altogether — we’ll have to distill our own booze.” Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

Nothing unusual — TikTok has seen the emergence of “helpers” advertising Kotelniki as the most Muslim-friendly city in the Moscow region and offering relocation and settlement services for Muslims there. They highlight halal shops everywhere, Arabic being widely spoken, mosques, and the ability to dress not only in a hijab but even in a niqab. Pypa, the results. 🤷‍♂️ Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

❗️The U.S. aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln is positioned near the southern coast of Oman and is not approaching the entrance to the Persian Gulf. ⚓️ A likely reason for the pause may be concerns over Iranian drone swarms, which U.S. military command reportedly fears, according to the New York Post. Accounts close to U.S. intelligence, including Aquilla, report that Iran’s top leadership has already designated successors in case they are targeted in a leadership decapitation strike, and that those successors have been briefed on retaliatory measures.
