US Reissues Urgent 'Do Not Travel' Warning For Russia, As NYT Confirms CIA's Escalating Involvement

US Reissues Urgent 'Do Not Travel' Warning For Russia, As NYT Confirms CIA's Escalating Involvement The US State Department has once once again re-issued an urgent advisory warning Americans not to travel to Russia. The renewed travel advisory also tells any American citizens currently in Russia to depart immediately. It cites the danger associated with the ongoing war with Ukraine, as well as the significant risk of wrongful detention by Russian officials, and the possibility of terrorism.This is nothing new, given such warnings have been issued going all the way back to February 2022, but it suggests that the Trump administration's view is that things might continue to escalate as efforts toward a peace deal stall."Russian officials often question and threaten U.S. citizens without reason. Russian security services have arrested U.S. citizens on false charges. They have denied them fair treatment and convicted them without credible evidence. Russian authorities have opened questionable investigations against U.S. citizens for their religious activities," the advisory reads.US Intelligence has been helping Ukraine strike Russian energy infrastructure.This joins no less than five fresh advisories reissued by the department since Dec. 18. They include Level 4: Do Not Travel warnings for Belarus and Yemen, as well a Level 2 warning for Jordan due to terrorism, and a Level 1 advisory for Portugal.Currently the State Department also has active Do Not Travel warnings for Venezuela, Syria, Haiti, Ukraine, and several other countries.One thing the official Russia travel warning leaves out is the fact that the CIA continues to assist Ukraine in actively targeting Russian territory, especially energy sites.Even as the Pentagon has taken steps to draw down its support, the CIA has been ramping up its anti-Russia covert actions launched out of Ukraine, as The NY Times this week highlighted:Where Mr. Hegseth had marginalized his Ukraine-supporting generals, the C.I.A. director, Mr. Ratcliffe, had consistently protected his own officers’ efforts for Ukraine. He kept the agency’s presence in the country at full strength; funding for its programs there even increased. When Mr. Trump ordered the March aid freeze, the U.S. military rushed to shut down all intelligence sharing. But when Mr. Ratcliffe explained the risk facing C.I.A. officers in Ukraine, the White House allowed the agency to keep sharing intelligence about Russian threats inside Ukraine.Now, the agency honed a plan to at least buy time, to make it harder for the Russians to capitalize on the Ukrainians’ extraordinary moment of weakness."Brilliant" or foolhardy and stupid to keep poking the nuclear-armed Russian bear?“A C.I.A. expert had identified a type of coupler that was so hard to replace or repair that a refinery would remain offline for weeks.”Brilliant asymmetric work. https://t.co/bsfHmYpszi— Meaghan Mobbs (@mobbs_mentality) January 1, 2026The Times report presented some jarring language which points to the Trump administration playing with fire in provoking Putin in order to force him to the negotiating table:As the campaign began to show results, Mr. Ratcliffe discussed it with Mr. Trump. The president seemed to listen to him; they had a frequent Sunday tee time. According to U.S. officials, Mr. Trump praised America’s surreptitious role in these blows to Russia’s energy industry. They gave him deniability and leverage, he told Mr. Ratcliffe, as the Russian president continued to “jerk him off.”The energy strikes would come to cost the Russian economy as much as $75 million a day, according to one U.S. intelligence estimate. The C.I.A. would also be authorized to assist with Ukrainian drone strikes on “shadow fleet” vessels in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Gas lines would start forming across Russia.“We found something that is working,” a senior U.S. official said, then had to add, “How long, we don’t know.”Or perhaps it's "working" until things go boom between NATO and Moscow, mushroom cloud style.Meanwhile, the CIA as usual has an outsized role in tipping Trump in a direction which makes peace harder, and a lot further away:Mr. Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. chief, flew to Alaska with the president on Aug. 15 and, before the meeting, briefed him on “what we’ve got” about Mr. Putin’s intentions. It did not align with Mr. Trump’s instinct; the Russian, the agency argued, was not interested in ending the war. A senior American official described the assessment this way: “Trump isn’t going to get what he wants. He is just going to have to make Alaska a show.”US strategy: Reduce Russian refining capacity by targeting the refineries with Ukraine and try reducing Indian imports by tariffs and threats of further action against cos involved, while calling out EU’s double standards—making it harder for them to sabotage any future dialogue. https://t.co/T1GnlfFg0q— Rishap Vats (@VatsRishap) September 13, 2025Above is a scene which has played out weekly, and almost daily, for a matter of months now. One option the Kremlin might be looking at is fully capturing Ukraine's crucial Black Sea export hub of Odessa, which would further decimate the country economically. NATO might by that point be ready to get more directly involved. Trump has also issued warnings against seizing Odessa. Tyler DurdenFri, 01/02/2026 - 21:20

Canada December manufacturing index edges higher but remains below 50 for 11th month

The Canadian manufacturing sector remains stuck in the mud as the final Canadian S&P Global survey of manufacturers was released. It’s another soft reading for the Canadian economy, and the details here are painting a stagflationary picture that the Bank of Canada isn't going to like.Here are the details from the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI for December:48.6 vs 48.4 prior.Output Index: Declined at a quicker rateNew Orders with a 'solid decline'Employment: 11th consecutive month of job shedding.Prices: Selling price inflation hit a six-month high.The report explicitly blames tariffs for driving up prices while simultaneously killing demand. Fortunately, the consumer side of the economy has remained strong as manufacturing gets left behind. A year of prolonged uncertainty around USMCA negotiations isn't going to help.Firms reported that average lead times lengthened because of customs delays, specifically with US imports. Even worse, the uncertainty around trade policy is causing a "general air of uncertainty" that is weighing on output for the year ahead, something that will hit capexPaul Smith, Economics Director at S&P Global:“Canada’s manufacturing economy ended the year on asubdued note, with output and new orders both fallingagain – as they have done in each month of 2025 apartfrom January. Once again, tariffs remained an importanttheme amongst PMI survey respondents, with a generalair of uncertainty continuing to negatively weigh oncurrent and expected output levels for the year ahead.“This means firms remain naturally cautious, andseeking an operating leanness, either in terms of labourcapacity or inventory holdings. Purchasing activity wasalso cut again in December, although supply-chaindelays continue, and the price of inputs shifted higher –which firms once again closely linked to tariffs.” This is a reminder that there are problems in Canadian manufacturing as this survey has been in contraction for 11 straight months, shedding jobs the whole way down. Normally, that would scream for more cuts but look at the inflation component: Input price inflation picked up, and selling price inflation is at a six-month high. Firms are passing those tariff costs right along to consumers.USD/CAD is up 16 pips on the first real trading day of 2026 after falling about 5% last year.Yesterday, I wrote a Canadian dollar outlook for 2026 and later today I will be on BNNBloomberg TV talking about it.

40-Year Harvard Professor Pens Mic-Drop Indictment Of Institutional Anti-White Racism

40-Year Harvard Professor Pens Mic-Drop Indictment Of Institutional Anti-White Racism A history professor who taught at Harvard University for 40 years wrote a scathing letter slamming the Ivy League institution over its "exclusion of white males." Professor James Hankins wrote in a piece titled "Whit I'm Leaving Harvard" that his decision to retire "was not a sudden one," and that he'd made up his mind in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown and George Floyd riots - both of which dramatically changed Harvard's graduate admissions process."In reviewing graduate student applicants in the fall of 2020 I came across an outstanding prospect who was a perfect fit for our program. In past years this candidate would have risen immediately to the top of the applicant pool," he wrote. "In 2021, however, I was told informally by a member of the admissions committee that ‘that’ (meaning admitting a white male) was ‘not happening this year," Hankins said that in another instance, a white male student who he described as "literally the best" at Harvard - and who won the prize for graduating senior with the best overall academic record - was also rejected from the school's graduate program because "He too was a white male.""I called around to friends at several universities to find out why on earth he had been rejected," Hankins continued. "Everywhere it was the same story: Graduate admissions committees around the country had been following the same unspoken protocol as ours.""The one exception I found to the general exclusion of white males had begun life as a female."The deal was an even playing field, not extremely tilted in the other direction.They broke the deal.Therefore, there is no deal. https://t.co/ZDraFvZbYl— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 29, 2025Hankins gave his last lecture at the school two weeks ago, after finishing out a four-year retirement contract he signed in 2021 which has now expired. Hankins called Harvard's COVID restrictions "tyrannous invasions of private life" - as professors were forced to lecture in masks and give seminars on Zoom. On top of that - he decried Harvard's dropping their "two-book standard" of requiring staff to have published two books to prove their expertise in a subject area, blaming "feminist activists" History professor James Hankins taught at Harvard for 40 years. (Sophie Park/Bloomberg)"The two-book standard would be shelved in the late 1990s when we were under increasing pressure to hire more women faculty," he wrote, adding "Feminist activists, at Harvard as elsewhere, were demanding that half of all new appointments be women. That, they claimed, was what liberal standards of equality required."Hankins wrote that women previously made up less than 10% of PhDs in the history department - however "equality required that standards be lowered.""Feminists denied vociferously that this was happening," he continued, adding "The real problem, they said, was the inability of men properly to value female scholarship.""Soon the department was promoting an ever higher percentage of junior faculty," he wrote. "The dynamic was similar to Congress voting to restrain its own spending." Tyler DurdenThu, 01/01/2026 - 21:15
