Around 11 of 26 tankers departed Morón Air Base and Naval Station Rota, tracked by open-source monitors to sites like Ramstein in Germany and Istres in France. The move followed Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's rejection of the strikes, dubbed Operation Epic Fury by the U.S. and Roaring Lion by Israel, which involved B-2 bombers amid Iran's missile attacks. While analysts speculate Spain ordered the exit after weeks of idling, others call it routine repositioning post-refueling, with no official word from Madrid, Washington, or the Air Force. UK, Germany, and France offered support, underscoring Spain's outlier position in the alliance.

Key Takeaway

Late Saturday, several U.S. KC-135 tankers lifted off from Spanish bases, heading north to Germany and France as Spain condemned U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.

Prime Minister Mark Carney's January trip to Beijing led to China lifting its 2021 ban on Canadian beef imports due to a mad cow case, with first shipments expected soon and a boost for Alberta producers. Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald announced the news on January 20, restoring access to China's huge market amid heavy U.S. exports already in place. Yet backlash grows as beef prices hit $8.50-$10.50 per pound for ground and up to $35 for ribeye, fueled by low cattle supplies and high feed costs—prompting Conservative leaders to call it a Liberal-driven crisis while food inflation outpaces G7 averages.

Key Takeaway

Canadian ranchers stand to gain big from China's reopened market, but sky-high beef prices at home have many shoppers grumbling.

In Denmark, public universities are tuition-free for Danish and EU/EEA citizens over 18, who also receive around $1,000 USD monthly in tax-free SU grants for living costs if living independently. Saudi Arabia provides similar free tuition and stipends of $224 to $264 USD monthly to its citizens in public universities, depending on the field. These perks, funded by high taxes in Denmark and oil wealth in Saudi Arabia, stand in sharp contrast to America's $1.7 trillion student debt burden, prompting widespread discussions about the trade-offs involved.

Key Takeaway

Imagine heading to university with no tuition bill and a monthly check for living expenses— that's the reality for many students in Denmark and Saudi Arabia.

Schiff argued that whales invented the 'never sell' ethos to keep minnows holding amid leverage risks, as over $2 billion in liquidations hit this month, including $1.13 billion yesterday alone. Bitcoin advocates hit back by resurfacing his past wrong calls, like dismissing it at $1,000 in 2013, while defending unleveraged holding as true financial independence. The debate reignited talk of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, now at $16 billion, and a new bill to let tax payments in Bitcoin boost it further.

Key Takeaway

As Bitcoin tumbled to $83,600—its lowest in seven months—Peter Schiff fired off a sharp critique on X, calling the 'HODL' mantra a scheme by big holders to trap small investors while they cash out.
