Howdy, crew—this end-of-year situation report cuts through the holiday haze with hard-hitting OSINT on rising threats that are reshaping celebrations globally. In Lithuania, authorities just smashed a sophisticated cigarette smuggling ring—21 arrests after weather balloons launched from Belarus repeatedly violated airspace, forcing airport shutdowns and sparking a national emergency; Vilnius calls it a hybrid attack, while Minsk denies involvement. Down in Bangladesh, unrest boils over with reports of violence tied to political assassinations and protests—no confirmed VBIED yet, but the streets are volatile heading into 2026. Australia’s still reeling from the December 14 Bondi Beach mass shooting: 15 dead (including a child) and dozens wounded in an ISIS-inspired attack on a Hanukkah event—gunmen scouted the site, tossed pipe bombs (that failed to detonate), and now Sydney’s ramping up NYE barriers and patrols amid trauma. That tragedy’s rippling worldwide: active shooter fears, lone-wolf plots, and post-Bondi fallout have forced multiple nations—especially in Europe—to cancel or scale back New Year’s Eve events. Paris scraps the Champs-Élysées concert over crowd and terror risks; Belgrade nixes public festivities; Hong Kong drops Victoria Harbour fireworks; Shibuya in Tokyo stays quiet again; even Monaco bans private pyrotechnics. Officials cite everything from unpredictable crowds to heightened jihadist alerts and recent attacks—no specific threats everywhere, but the caution is real after a year of hybrid ops and lone actors. We’ll unpack the patterns, what it means for travel and gatherings, and practical tips to stay vigilant ringing in the new year—situational awareness, avoid massive crowds if possible, have an exit plan, and report suspicious activity. Sourced from Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera, NYT, and fresh wires—stay sharp out there, folks. Happy holidays, but eyes open. #OSINT #SituationReport #LithuaniaBalloons #BelarusHybrid #BondiBeachAttack #SydneyTerror #NYECancellations #ParisNYE #EuropeSecurity #NewYearsThreats #ActiveShooterAlert #HolidaySafety #GlobalSecurity #YearEndSitrep #StayVigilant #Geopolitics2025

Our wise old queen Luna (8 years young) still has zero chill when it comes to playtime. Watch this elder corgi and gray cat Bailey turn the living room into a full-on hide-and-seek + mock-battle arena. Pounces, sneaky ambushes, dramatic flops — all under the Christmas tree lights. Proof that age is just a number and holiday zoomies are forever. Senior pets still got it. ❤️ #SeniorCorgi #CatVsDog #HolidayPets

From diesel forecasts to pantry buffers and community watch tips, let’s get proactive before the wave hits. #2026EnergyCrunch #FuelPrice2026 #FoodShortagePrep #PoliticalRadicalization #DefensivePreparedness #ElectionTensions #Inflation2026 #EnergyOSINT #FoodInflationPrep #RadicalizationWatch

Enjoying a semi pro hockey game with some friends during Christmas break. A classic way to enjoy the holidays in the cold weather is a cold beer, some hot dogs, and a good hockey game. Fist fight or two won’t hurt anyone’s feeling either. #Hockey #Beer #CoorsBanquet #Prepper #HockeyWithFriends #Gametime #ChristmasBreak2025
