In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

- First up—new reporting from The New York Times pulls back the curtain on Russia’s war machine, revealing a system built on abuse, coercion, and the ruthless exploitation of its own soldiers fighting in Ukraine.

- Later in the show—fresh warning signs from Beijing, as Xi Jinping uses his New Year’s speech to double down on Taiwan, declaring reunification inevitable after a round of large-scale Chinese military exercises.

- Plus—new details from President Trump’s meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu suggest Israel is already floating the idea of a second round of strikes against Iran.

- And in today’s Back of the Brief—Finland seizes a cargo vessel suspected of damaging a vital undersea cable linking two NATO neighbors.
