Russia weighs entire set of steps on nuclear testing

Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated on Friday that the country is evaluating all possible measures regarding the resumption of nuclear tests.Speaking to Kommersant, Ryabkov criticized US policies, particularly past stances by US President-elect Donald Trump, highlighting Washington’s refusal to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. Ryabkov cited the 2018 US nuclear doctrine, which framed the treaty as detrimental to American interests. He argued that the global landscape and American hostility require Russia to review its security strategy.

Putin: Russia wants to end war in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists on Thursday his country is seeking to end the war in Ukraine. Putin made his comment in reply to a reporter’s remark about United States President-elect Donald Trump’s intention to freeze the conflict. “That’s what our people say, yes, if only you could drink honey with your lips,” Putin noted. At the same time, Putin revealed that during his recent visit to Moscow Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico said his country was ready to provide a venue for potential future peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, adding that he was not against it.

IDF: Yemen operation proves ability ‘to strike any threat’

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of the General Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi claimed on Thursday that the most recent strikes in Yemen show that the military is capable of reaching “any threat.” The remarks come hours after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) attacked Houthi-controlled areas in that country amid a visit by a United Nations delegation. “Once again, the IDF has proven its capability to reach and strike any threat to the citizens of Israel. Over the years, we have built capabilities to strike very far from Israel’s territory in a precise, powerful, and repeated manner,” Halevi was quoted as saying by the Times of Israel. Four people lost their lives and 16 were wounded in a series of Israeli airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, according to the Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah news channel. Israeli airstrikes on the Sanaa International Airport in the Yemeni capital caused the deaths of two people while the third victim was killed and another three persons were declared missing when Israeli forces struck the port city of Hodeidah in western Yemen. Earlier, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the airstrikes on Yemen and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Israel would continue to strike Houthis, who he referred to as a “terrorist arms of Iran.”

Netanyahu: Houthis will learn what Assad has learned

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday warned that Houthis “will learn what Hamas, Hezbollah, the Assad regime, and others have learned,” following a series of ballistic missile and drone attacks launched on Israel from Yemen. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out airstrikes targeting ports and energy facilities in the Yemeni capital Sana on December 19. In addition, an Israeli general said his country will step up attacks against the militant group in retaliation for their attacks on Israel.

Israel says it destroyed two attack tunnels in Gaza…… Katz: Control of Gaza to remain in Israel’s hands

Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said on Wednesday that its Southern Brigade destroyed two underground attack routes in the Gaza Strip that were two kilometers long. “In the strikes, a terrorist cell that attempted to plant an explosive device was eliminated, and anti-tank positions and terrorist infrastructure that posed a danger to the forces were destroyed,” the military said. The engineering unit of the IDF’s Gaza division reportedly completed the military operation in collaboration with the military’s Yahalam unit in recent weeks. The Israeli army also reportedly bombed a house in Gaza earlier today, killing three Palestinians and injuring more.

Katz: Control of Gaza to remain in Israel’s hands

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz insisted on Wednesday that the country will ensure the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) remain in control of the Gaza Strip despite the ongoing negotiations about a new ceasefire with Hamas possibly featuring a different prerequisite. “We will make sure there are security zones, buffer zones, and strategic posts which will ensure the security of towns,” Katz said during a visit to a unit stationed in Gaza. “There will be no Hamas rule and no Hamas military. We will create a new reality here, thanks to the daily fighting, which is continuing even now.” Katz’s comments came after Israel denied Hamas’s claims of the country including new demands in the list of conditions to reach a ceasefire.

Oil down by 1% on ceasefire talks update

The prices of oil futures decreased by 1% on Monday after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced progress in the latest negotiations with Hamas about a ceasefire and hostage exchange, indicating Gaza and parts of the Middle East could soon witness at least a temporary peace.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for February’s deliveries declined by 1.05% at 12:07 pm ET to sell for $68.81 per barrel. Meanwhile, Brent for the same month’s settlements dropped by 1.10% to go for $72.20 per barrel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged on Monday a “certain advancement” in the country’s negotiations with Hamas about a new ceasefire and prisoner exchange. Speaking before the Knesset, Netanyahu admitted to not knowing how long the talks will last but insisted that “[w]e will continue to act in every way without respite until we bring everyone home from the enemy territory.” Furthermore, he highlighted the assassination of then-Hamas Political Bureau Yahya Sinwar as a catalyst for the improvement in the process. His comments came after the report a new agreement was “imminent,” but that then Netanyahu added new requirements to the deal proposal.

Zelensky mulling peace talks with Putin…. Power outages introduced across Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has begun to consider the possibility that the conflict between Ukraine and Russia might conclude next year as he considers peace negotiations instead of fighting for every inch of occupied land, The Washington Post reported on Monday, citing Michael McFaul, who co-chairs the International Working Group on Russian Sanctions with Ukrainian officials. The shift in perspective allegedly follows increased discussions around a potential peace agreement, spurred by United States President-elect Donald Trump’s re-election and changes on NATO’s leadership, the media added. Zelensky has repeatedly expressed skepticism about the feasibility of reaching any consensus with Russian President Vladimir Putin, indicating his doubts about the Russian leader’s willingness to “come to any agreement.”

Power outages introduced across Ukraine

Ukrenergo, the state-owned electricity transmission system operator in Ukraine, announced on Monday in an order that various regions across the country will be going through emergency power outages. According to the notice, under regions affected are the Kiev region, the Dnipropetrovsk region, the Donetsk region, the Sumy region, and others. “Energy workers across the country are working 24/7 to eliminate the consequences of shelling and restore power to Ukrainian homes,” it was written in the order.

BITCOIN IS DEAD MEAT….. Canned Fish and Tulip Bulb Mania combined

YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE ALL YOUR BITCOIN you need to act fast

3 trillion dollars in Bitcoin is about to be lost better put stolen by Russia and China

Google announced a brand-new quantum chip dubbed Willow. I call it the BEAST!

The 105-qubit chip — that’s double the qubit count of the tech giant’s preceding Sycamore chip — completed a computation in under five minutes that would take a modern supercomputer a “mind-boggling” 10 septillion years, the company said. Major tech companies such as Musk’s xAI, IBM, and Microsoft are leading the investments in quantum computing. Hostile state actors like China and Russia have quantum AI computers. Pictured below is the China quantum computer the ZuchongzhiZ

The news reignited concerns surrounding the security of blockchains, the distributed ledgers that run digital currencies like Bitcoin.

A bank of quantum computer (that are being assemble as we speak by China and Russia) will soon break the cryptocurrency’s encryption, allowing thieves to abscond with unfathomable sums. At least 3 trillion dollas in Bitcoin.

As Fortune reports, researchers at the University of Kent found in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study that the risk is very real. In fact, just the downtime required to update the blockchain to protect itself from an encryption-breaking quantum computer could extend to 76 days — in the meantime resulting losses would be staggering. “Bringing your technology down… can be very, very costly, even if it’s on for a few minutes or a few hours,” coauthor and senior lecturer at the University of Kent Carlos Perez-Delgado told Fortune.

“If I had a large quantum computer right now, I could essentially take over all the Bitcoin,” he added.

 

AllianceBernstein analysts argued that Bitcoin contributors should “start preparing for the quantum future.”

It was argued it would take all the super computers in the world a 1000 years to hack bitcoins sah250 code.

Now it can be done in a mattes of  days with the new AI Quantium super computes.

Quantium Artificial Intelligence computes reduce a 10-septillion-year task to five minutes.

5 MINUITES TO STEAL ALL YOUR BITCOINS

It would take a small bank of quantum computers with the capability of  millions of qubits to break Bitcoin encryption in a single day. Analysts have also found that SHA-256 encryption, which serves as the security measure protecting Bitcoin miners today, could easily be cracked — with quantum hardware that has now been developed and being rapidly deployed by state sponsored actors

Already hackers, many hostile governments, using comparatively primitive computers have  stolen over 30 billion in bitcoins

Chump changed compared what they will steal with AI Quantum super computes The temptations is to great with 3 trillion of dollars in bitcoin just sitting out their in the open their for the taking. Why steal bitcoin? because that’s where the money is and its now easy with AI Quantum super computers …… trillions worth of Bitcoins protected by a SHA256 hash or passwords.

Their is no reserve… government guaranties. No central computer. Most people have no insurance.. shit their is no central authority and to make matters worse no one has seen the source code or know who in even invented Bitcoin.

German physicist and science communicator Sabine Hossenfelder tweeted in response to Google’s recent announcement. ” In short, many agree that quantum computers pose a growing threat to the cryptography behind Bitcoin,”

As Fortune points out, Bitcoin’s decentralized nature could make pushing an encryption update an immense task. By the time they push out a update your money will be long gone.

Vitalik Buterin, the cofounder of the prominent cryptocurrency Ethereum, admitted that advancing quantum computing tech has “consequences across the entire Ethereum roadmap.”

Everyone new that bitcoins SHA-256 encryption…the heart of the system someday would be at risk of a hack attack. What they are not telling you isThat fateful day is here and its now!

The experts thought that artificial intelligence quantum computing capable of hacking bitcoin was 10 years in the future the truth is its less than 10 months

Perez-Delgado said “The indisputable fact that nobody can argue is that when we do get there,”, “our current securities, the cybersecurity systems — which includes everything from Bitcoin to email — will be in great danger

save yourself from the coming bitcoin wipe out

if something happened and the signatures were compromised (perhaps integer factorization is solved, by quantum computers), then even agreeing upon the last valid block would be worthless,” Nakamoto said,

how the wipe out will come

The first threat would be to Bitcoin’s mining network. Bitcoin is secured by a globally distributed network of computer operators who expend time, electricity, and machinery to hash numbers and compete for the right to add and order new transactions atop Bitcoin’s blockchain.

If a quantum computer suddenly perform most of this computational work at a fraction of the network’s existing time, electricity, and machinery, that computer could overtake the network and censor, reorder, or even double-spend BTC transactions.

Beyond a hashrate takeover, the second threat people flagged was to the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto’s BTC. The Bitcoin creator still owns over 1 million BTC and used a rudimentary pay-to-public-key (P2PK) format to store unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs), which reveals the public address on-chain. Because Satoshi’s public keys are public, this could give a quantum computer a chance to crack its associated private keys with brute force effort.

China and Russia’s three trillion dollar pay day

With AI Quantum computers in the hands of hostile bad actors like the Chinese and Russians a bruit force attack on the SHA256 hash in essence the password that unlocks ownership of you Bitcoin is doable. What previously would take a million years of computing now can be done in a matter of hours or a few days. They have the technology and the computes.

Unlike classical chips, quantum chips could execute an exponential amount of computation — as evidenced by Google’s reduction of a 10-septillion-year task to five minutes.

Trump apparently ‘not happy’ about debt ceiling

United States President-elect Donald Trump was “disappointed” that lawmakers agreed on a government spending bill without a clause about suspending the debt ceiling, CNN reported on Saturday. A Republican source said Trump seemed “frustrated yet resigned” to the situation. The source said Trump came to terms with the funding bill after talking to other Republicans who explained there was “no way” to reach a deal on the legislation if it included the debt limit clause considering the tight deadline. Without new spending, the US government would have shut down on Saturday.
