"All we’re asking for is to get Greenland, including right, title, and ownership, because you need the ownership to defend it."
Publisher’s rating: Disputed
北海道〜東北でM5.2〜6.0の地震に注意?
Publisher’s rating: 誤り
A post on January 7, 2026, warned of an M5.2–6.0 earthquake from Tohoku to Hokkaido. The review says pinpoint earthquake prediction is not scientifically possible with current science and notes that earthquakes in that magnitude range occurred seven times in Japan during the first 22 days of 2026.
أحمد الفيشاوي: "بنتي خلفت لكن لسه متجوزتش"
Publisher’s rating: مش حقيقي
“We paid for, in my opinion, 100% of NATO because they weren’t paying their bills.”
Publisher’s rating: False
The review says the United States was not paying for all of NATO. It explains that Trump conflated countries’ independently chosen military spending with NATO’s shared operational costs; the U.S. pays about 15% of NATO’s common-funded budgets.
"China makes almost all wind turbines. And yet I couldn't find any wind farms in "China." Trump further said China was very smart because it sold wind turbines to "stupid people" while not using them itself.
Publisher’s rating: False
The review reports that China generated 521 gigawatts of wind power in 2024, around 40% of global wind energy production. It also notes that wind power accounted for about 12% of China’s electricity mix in the first half of 2025.
Photos show SJB members of parliament recently protesting in support of Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya.
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
The review found that the photos do not show a recent SJB protest in support of Harini Amarasuriya: they show an earlier protest in Parliament on November 25, 2021. SJB MPs wore orange armbands and “Stop Violence Against Women” stickers for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, not to support Amarasuriya against recent backlash.

"We fought for Denmark. (...) We were fighting to save it. (...) All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland, where we had already been a trustee, but respectfully returned it to Denmark not long after we defeated the Germans, the Japanese, the Italians, and others in World War II. (...) We had it, and we gave it back to them."
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
"In the midst of the World Cup year, U.S. President Trump suspends visa issuance for 75 countries, including Brazil."
Publisher’s rating: False
The review says the suspension applies to immigration visa processing for people seeking permanent residence, not short-term visitor visas. Brazilian citizens can still apply for tourist visas to attend the World Cup.
"Overnight 16,800 people cancelled their World Cup Tickets. This is commendable." Another user claimedthat more than 25,000 people have canceled their tickets.
Publisher’s rating: Unproven
A new order by the Assam government does not allow people of different religions to buy or sell land to each other.
Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING
FACTLY reports that Assam did not ban land transactions between people of different religions. Instead, its new procedure requires verification and permission for such transfers, which remain allowed.

The viral video shows Defence Minister Rajnath Singh comparing the RSS to the Afghan Taliban.
Publisher’s rating: FALSE
FACTLY reports that the viral clip was digitally manipulated and that the original footage came from Rajnath Singh’s speech at a defence facility inauguration in Nagpur. It says its review of the full speech found none of the attributed remarks and that PIB Fact Check identified the clip as a deepfake.
الشؤون الاجتماعية تطالب بقانون يحد من زواج المصريات من أفارقة
Publisher’s rating: غير مثبت
The review found no Egyptian government statement or legislative initiative to restrict these marriages, and reported that the circulating statistics were false. Official 2024 data cited in the review recorded 260 marriages between Egyptians and non-Egyptians in total, including 145 Egyptian women marrying Sudanese men.
Heart Breaking The winter calm at Sela Lake shattered on January 16 when a tourist group slipped near the frozen surface and the ice gave way. Four people fell into the icy water; two were rescued alive, while two lost their lives. The Indian Army and disaster response teams launched an immediate rescue in sub-zero temperatures, strong winds, and low oxygen, working against fading daylight. Officials reiterated that warnings clearly prohibit approaching frozen water bodies, as high-altitude ice is unpredictable and often lethal. The tragedy once again exposes a recurring issue in Himalayan tourist warnings are issued, but not always followed. What looks serene on camera often hides unforgiving danger.
Publisher’s rating: misleading
"Until I came along," the US "was paying for virtually 100% of NATO," Trump said, adding, "We paid for, in my opinion, 100% of NATO."
Publisher’s rating: False
The review says US spending accounted for a little over 70% of NATO members’ total defense spending in 2016, not virtually 100%. It also says the US contributed about 22% of NATO’s common budget, with the remainder paid by other members.
“So, we’re building a Golden Dome and having Greenland makes it a much more effective Golden Dome.”
Publisher’s rating: Need context
"The United States had never received anything from NATO, despite having paid for it."
Publisher’s rating: False
The review says the claim overlooks NATO allies’ support for the United States after the September 11 attacks. NATO invoked Article 5 the next day, and several allies joined military missions alongside the US, including in Afghanistan.
"And all we're asking for is to get Greenland, including the right title and ownership, because you need the ownership to defend it. You can't defend it on a lease. Number one. Legally, it's not defensible that way. Totally."
Publisher’s rating: Misleading
The review says the United States already has a role in Greenland’s defense through agreements with Denmark and NATO obligations. It explains that ownership is not legally required when the territorial government consents to defense cooperation, and notes that countries operate military bases abroad under agreements without owning the territory.
