Russia said it will start withdrawing forces from Syria in a surprise move that puts pressure on its ally President Bashar Al-Assad, as well as opposition groups, to reach a deal at the peace talks that got under way hours earlier in Geneva.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose military intervention last year in support of Assad turned the tide in Syria’s five-year civil war, said the partial pullout should begin on Tuesday. A Russian air base and a naval facility will continue to function, he said in Moscow. Assad didn’t request the withdrawal, said Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov.

Russia has urged the Syrian leader to be “constructive” in the latest peace talks, aimed at ending a conflict that’s killed a quarter-million people, sparked a refugee exodus to Europe and allowed Islamic State a foothold. For Putin, who’s worked with the U.S. to promote diplomacy in Syria even though the two powers backed opposite sides in the war, it’s an opportunity to display peacemaking credentials while preserving the gains Assad’s army made under Russian air cover.

“Putin is a wily guy. He is showing he’s a statesman,” said Joshua Landis, director of the Center for Middle East studies at the University of Oklahoma. “Russia is also sending a message to Assad who has been sounding too confident.”

‘Effective Work’

Putin and President Barack Obama discussed the Russian plan to withdraw troops by phone on Monday, the White House said. Obama welcomed the reduction in violence since the U.S. and Russia helped broker a truce last month, but said that “continuing offensive actions by Syrian regime forces risk undermining” both that truce and the Geneva talks.

In ordering the pullback of the “main part” of Russia’s military from Syria, Putin said the armed forces’ “effective work” created the conditions for beginning the peace process. “I hope today’s decision will be a good signal to all the conflicting sides,” the Russian president said. Russia’s ruble pared losses after Putin’s announcement.

The Syrian presidency said on Twitter that Russia had promised to continue supporting Syria’s fight against terrorism.

The definition of who’s a terrorist in Syria, as well as Assad’s future role, has been at the root of the disagreement between Russia and the U.S., which says moderate rebels against the regime have also been targeted by Putin’s intervention. Russia says the opposition is dominated by jihadists. The current cease-fire allows operations against United Nations-designated terrorist groups to continue.

Salem al-Muslet, a spokesman for the main opposition group, the High Negotiations Committee, said Russia is largely to blame for the current state of the conflict.

‘Symbolic Gesture’

“The Russian departure will be good for the Syrian people and will weaken the Syrian regime,” he said by phone.

The U.S. has softened calls for Assad’s removal in recent months, while continuing to argue that a long-term settlement won’t be possible while he’s in office. In his phone call with Putin, Obama “underscored that a political transition is required to end the violence,” the White House said.

Putin’s latest announcement is “a symbolic gesture to sweeten the opposition’s pill, because Assad is clearly not going to go away even if Russia slightly reduces its operations,” said Anton Lavrov, an independent Russian military analyst. “This is clearly linked to the start of negotiations in Geneva. It’s a signal to the opposition and an attempt to influence their agreeability.”

At talks in Geneva earlier on Monday, there were few signs that Assad or the opposition are willing to make major compromises.

Applying Pressure

The UN’s special envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, called on the international community to apply “maximum pressure” on the two sides, after holding his first meeting with the government delegation on Monday. He’s due to have talks with the opposition on Tuesday.

Syria’s regime is indicating that it will only accept a limited role for the opposition in government, and that discussing Assad’s position is a “red line.”

Last week, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov urged the Syrian leader as well as his opponents to demonstrate a “real willingness” to agree on a new constitution for Syria that would build a “future democratic society.”

Putin said that the Russian bombing campaign had allowed the Syrian army to “take the initiative on nearly all fronts.” His spokesman Peskov declined to comment on how many troops will remain, whether S-400 anti-aircraft defense missiles will be withdrawn and whether Russian airstrikes will end.

‘Minimal’ Force

Russia is likely to leave “minimal” forces in place, including some warplanes, to protect its naval facility in Tartus and the Khmeimim airbase, said Vladimir Komoedov, chairman of the State Duma lower house of parliament’s defense committee.

“Any war ends and guns go quiet,” said Komoedov, an ex-commander of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. “The time for politics has come, everyone has to be at the negotiating table.”

Still, Viktor Ozerov, head of the defense committee in the upper house of Russia’s parliament, said by phone that if the Syrian army isn’t capable of finishing off Islamic State, “we can come back.” source

Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller Says That Trump Is Going To Make Greenland Part Of The United States And Use Military Force If They Resist

Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller Says President Trump will make Greenland part of the United States to further its security interests

We warned you for the past two months that Donald Trump, on the pretext of fighting drugs, was going to take control of Venezuela to seize their oil reserves, that happened this past Saturday. Today we learned that Trump is going to make the American taxpayer foot the bill when he turns the whole thing over to Big Oil. But it gets worse. Breaking news tonight shows us Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller telling Jake Tapper on CNN that yes, Donald Trump is going to take Greenland.

“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

Why does Trump want Greenland so badly? First, for its strategic importance given is close proximity to Russia. Second, Greenland and its territorial waters are believed to hold the equivalent of over 31 billion barrels of oil, more than the proven reserves of Qatar, Brazil and other major oil and gas powers. Trump has courted the oil industry with promises to “drill, baby, drill” — something that’s now effectively banned in Greenland, an autonomous region within the kingdom of Denmark that prizes its largely untouched environment. Third, Greenland is a storehouse of rare earth minerals, graphite, copper, nickel, gold, tungsten, uranium, Titanium-vanadium and others needed to satisfy the demand to fuel his 6G Memorandum and Stargate AI mandates. Greenland has these things, and Trump is going to take them and with military force if Greenland resists.

IT’S OFFICIAL: The US is going to move on Greenland. Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller says that annexing Greenland is the “official position of the Trump administration” and it will take Greenland. This madman Trump is going to plunge the entire world into WWIII. pic.twitter.com/MO5MX4047D

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) January 6, 2026

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is not treating it like a joke. She said Trump should be taken seriously, adding that if the U.S. attacks a NATO country, “everything stops.” Frederiksen warning that a U.S. takeover would mean the end of NATO as we’ve known it. “If the United States decides to militarily attack another NATO country, then everything would stop — that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security,” Mette Frederiksen told Danish television network TV2.

Miller said that it is the, and I quote, “the official policy of the Trump administration to take Greenland and make it a part of the United States”. Donald Trump is not only doing regime change and nation building, but he is combining Manifest Destiny and the Monroe Doctrine to begin the conquest of other nations. If you were wondering when the actual ramp up to WWIII was going to start, I think it just did.

Trump Tells Mexico He’s Coming For Them Next As US Navy P-8 Poseidon Spy Plane Conducts Surveillance And Reconnaissance Missions Over Tijuana

After launching a military strike on Venezuela, conqueror Trump now has US Navy P-8 Poseidon spy planes circling over Mexico

On our Podcast today, we dropped this stunning bomb: After conduction a military strike on Venezuela and capturing Maduro, Donald Trump has now set his sites on Columbia, Cuba, Canada, Greenland, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Brazil, Belize, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas and Mexico. Mexico may be next as US Navy P-8 Poseidon spy planes have been conducting Surveillance and reconnaissance missions over Tijuana. Go watch the Podcast for the whole story.

“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” Psalm 55:21 (KJB)

One of the questions that comes to my mind is, after exerting the will of the American government over some or all of the nations on his conquest list, what happens when some other nation or nations decides they now see America as the threat, and come after us? The Danish prime minister has had enough of Trump’s threats and said “If the United States decides to militarily attack another NATO country, then everything would stop — that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security,” No one with half a functioning brain thinks Trump is angling for peace threatening Greenland, his Imperialist appetite is readily seen by all. It’s funny, there used to be a difference between Trump’s QAnon supporters and his MAGA followers, but it’s nearly impossible to be able to make that distinction any longer. They wholeheartedly approve of his path to war, and are clamouring loudly for it. Trump water carrier Matt Walsh said “I totally support turning other countries in our hemisphere into subordinate vassals of the United States. That’s the very definition of an America First foreign policy.” What a jackassical thing to say, but guess what? All these people lusting for war going to get it, and they’re not going like it. History is a stubborn thing, go look at how well Imperialism worked out in the 20th century.

US spy jet mysteriously circles drug smuggling hotspot off Mexico’s coast as Trump threatens military action

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The P-8 took off from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington, flew through Oregon and California, made several loops off the Mexican coast and southern California, and then returned to base. Equipped with advanced sensors capable of detecting both surface and underwater targets, the P-8 is often used to monitor suspicious vessels and maritime movements.

The flight comes just days after Donald Trump issued a warning to Mexico over drug trafficking, suggesting a military action similar to one carried out in Venezuela over the weekend.

The President said drug cartels continue to dominate large parts of Mexico and criticized the government for failing to confront them decisively. ‘The cartels are running Mexico, whether you like it or not,’ he said. ‘It’s not nice to say, but the cartels are running Mexico.’

The aircraft’s flight path extended off the Southern California coast toward Baja California and Ensenada, Mexico, covering territorial waters and exclusive economic zones that begin near San Diego and Tijuana and stretch roughly 352 miles west into the Pacific Ocean.

The P-8A Poseidon can reach altitudes of up to 41,000 feet, fly at speeds of nearly 565 miles per hour, and stay airborne for long stretches thanks to an in-flight refueling system.

The fleet, which includes 174 aircraft and has logged over 700,000 flight hours worldwide, is built to endure harsh maritime conditions for up to 25 years. Boeing says the P-8 integrates advanced weapons and mission systems and can be quickly upgraded to meet evolving threats. READ MORE

Donald Trump Already Had Gaza, Just Took Venezuela And Says He Now Needs Cuba And Greenland, Where Is All This Regime Change And Nation Building Leading?

President Donald Trump is now in the business of regime change, nation building and war like a 21st-century Nebuchadnezzar

When President Trump ordered a military operation into Venezuela that captured Nicolás Maduro and flew him to New York, he crossed a line that America has talked around for decades but rarely states out loud in plain English: we removed the ruler, and we intend to manage the aftermath. And then Trump removed any remaining ambiguity by saying the United States would “run” Venezuela at least temporarily, while openly tying the “transition” to oil, infrastructure, and U.S. leverage. If you’ve spent years hearing people call Trump “a modern Cyrus,” this moment should stop you cold. He’s not Cyrus by a long shot.

“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, In the 2025 National Security Strategy, the White House explicitly says the U.S. will “reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctrine” to “restore American preeminence” in the Western Hemisphere, and will deny outside powers the ability to control “strategically vital assets” in the region. This is the exact opposite of promises he made when running for election and then reelection. If Trump is playing Cyrus, who exactly is being restored in Venezuela right now—and who is holding the keys? Because the public messaging is not “Venezuelans will govern themselves immediately.” The public messaging is “we’ll run it,” “boots on the ground,” and “oil will pay for it.” This is no Cyrus we’re looking at, it’s Nebuchadnezzar.
