OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL

Medvedev makes his first public TG post of the year and it is what you'd expect from the mad man

summary of his three points

1. on venezuela, the us is checkmated because it cannot put boots on the ground
2. on sanctions, russia now accepts that the trump administration was playing games and it welcomes the sanctions
3. on the seized ship, let me quote him:



tl:dr;
russia should respond to the seizure with a retaliation outside international law

the tsar emeritus made a brusque sign off



told y'all, whatever we say here is a replay of what is being said in the highest corridors of the axis

the message from the americans have been heard loud and clear

last night was one of the huge fists
more are on the way

f*ck international law

---

i knew man was grinning after the assassination attempt and that seizure

look for the kremlin to bring forward a putin visit to beijing
time to read the riot act to panda

in any case, the chinese hard liners are in a frenzy
and panda's bid to get a fourth term is looking bleak

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
The US under Trump is dangerously escalating tension. Seizing an oil tanker in international water is tantamount to piracy. I wonder how Putin still see them as mediator & are willing to negotiate peace & ceasefire agreement with them.

This is what happens when you don't match escalation with escalation and prefer to play the good/humble guy character. Your adversary/enemy/competitor will take you as a full. From the bombing of fishing boats in Venezuelan waters, I expected Moscow & Beijing to show massive naval solidarity to Caracas.

Undoubtedly Trump plan in capturing Maduro is absolutely reckless. It so surprising how US do this without loss of some life's. For Trump to go ahead and do this when realistically this can claim the lives of few GI shows how reckless he can be. And this have little strategic importance than just boss show off (maybe I'm wrong).

But daring Chinese to carry out similar move is so dumb an idea. Not even the US with this might would do something similar if Taiwan is a foe.
People fail to realize how strategically powerful Taiwan is and with a strategic allies like the US. The war won't end well for China, not even a win will feel like victory.
What's the strategic importance of China annexing Taiwan? What do they want from Taiwan that they don't have? They want to risk it all just to prove to the world that China bites and not all talks?

Mind you realistically speaking there's no how China will attack Taiwan without first hitting US bases nearby in Guam and Okinawa cause these are strategically placed to respond to cases like this especially in the early stage of any invasion. So to increase any chance of success they'll have to carry our the pear Harbour approach, which itself is a direct declaration of war against US and Japan.
Now why will China risk a WW3? for what, Stupid emotions because the US is running wild around the world? Watin concern them and US?

Many of you guys lack tactical thinking and just work off emotions thats why you're not leaders

This is not entirely unrealistic.

bryght4u:
So much emotion-laden posts since Trump announced the kidnapping of Maduro.
Most of you guys here whether NVBs, Pro-Axis or the fence-seaters could really do with a chilled drink.

The US acted like the thug she always is - no surprises here.
Has anything changed materially on the ground in Caracas - no!

The coming days would reveal a lot.
And, if the US was so sure of a swift victory and installing her puppet, they'd have leveled Caracas by now to pave the way for ground forces to move in and finish the job.
The fact that they're blockading Venezuela with an armada of vessels with 15k troops on board but still seem hesitant to move in says everything any clear-headed person should hear that this thing no too sure for them.
Trump can trump all he likes; Rubio can lamba and make us question our understanding of syntax and semantics of the English language, its still of little use and hasn't changed anything on the ground.

Patience, my people, patience.

Yesterday was 3rd; today is 4th January. There are still 361 days left in 2026.
We will know more as events unfold before our very eyes.

For those of you lambasting Putin let me ask you a question:
Please leave your emotions out of it and use your mind to think: how does taking out Zelensky in the first 1hr of the war on 22nd February 2022 facilitate the outcomes the Russians have always wanted?
The Russians have always wanted the freedom of the Donbass; the rights of all other Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine to be respected; Ukraine staying neutral and not having NATO on the doorsteps of Moscow.
Now tell me how kidnapping Zelensky and whisking him to St. Petersburg to go face criminal charges would've helped achieve any of the aforementioned objectives?

The West would've just installed another puppet and continued with arming of Ukraine.
The idea was to prop up Ukraine and use her to weaken Russia so they can then move in for the kill.

Putin is perhaps the smartest and most intelligent president we have today on the planet today.
The Russians are long-term planners, especially concerning geopolitics.
If they were just 10% as emotional as some of us here, they wouldn't have been able to amass approximately 11.5% of Earth's landmass as theirs!
I mean they once fought Sweden for more than 20yrs and took St. Petersburg!
They lost more than 20M persons - both military personnel and civilians - during WW2 but still chased Hitler all the way back to Berlin, a victory that ultimately led the end of WW2!
They once set Moscow ablaze just to trap Napoleon! I mean just think about that, guys!

You guys should cut these guys some slack abeg!

The strategy of draining the West has worked tremendously.
Europe is dead.
The US has resorted to outright thuggery to see if she can prop up herself and not collapse under her own weight of debt.
The US has her sight on 300B barrels of Venezuelan oil as she thinks she could use that to settle her debt crisis.
The European weapons storehouses are empty.
De-dollarisation is on course, though not as swift as we'd have loved but everything that's been worthwhile did take some time to come to fruition!
The Russians are on fulltime war economy.
And in case you guys haven't realized it yet, a wartime economy is sometimes a blessing in disguise.
Putin is ready for a showdown with NATO whenever he settles the Ukraine SMO.

The Chinese can and should do more but Xi has his eyes on countering the US in the Indo-Pacific FIRST and winning outrightly there, and then take the fight all the way across the Pacific to the US mainland.
Its called being FOCUSSED!
We may not love Xi's approach to geopolitics but each leaders' approach have their own merits.

China has prepped for whenever the US and her gang of terrorists bring their terrorism
close to her home. China has Japan, Philippines and South Korea, to an extent, to contend with and is prepared for when the US provokes her using Taiwan (Taiwan will definitely be used and it'll be rather foolish of them to play Ukraine 2.0 knowing how it is going for Ukraine at the moment).

You guys need a break.
Get off this thread.
Go outside.
Take off your shirts and take in the evening breeze.
Take a walk.
Clear heads and minds so you can process all of these happenings rationally.

As for the NVBs, I love y'all - a weak man must earn his wages by whatever means. Even if that "means" entails selling his birthright for a morsel of bread!

Blakjewelry:
Nobody is expecting them to do anything, I said use their own play book. Since the US like arming their opponents they too should do the same. By now Venezuela should have been flooded by all sort weapons from China and Russia.

WriterrNg:
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy."

This is about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years.

And Venezuela just threatened to end it.

Here's what really just happened:

Venezuela has 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves.

The largest on Earth.

More than Saudi Arabia.

20% of the entire world's oil.

But here's the part that matters:

Venezuela was actively selling that oil in Chinese yuan. Not dollars.

In 2018, Venezuela announced it would "free itself from the dollar."

They started accepting yuan, euros, rubles, anything BUT dollars for oil.

They were petitioning to join BRICS.

They were building direct payment channels with China that bypass SWIFT entirely.

And they were sitting on enough oil to fund de-dollarization for decades.

Why does this matter?

Because the entire American financial system is built on one thing:

The petrodollar.

In 1974, Henry Kissinger made a deal with Saudi Arabia:

All oil sold globally must be priced in US dollars.

In exchange, America provides military protection.

This single agreement created artificial demand for dollars worldwide.

Every country on Earth needs dollars to buy oil.

This lets America print unlimited money while other countries work for it.

It funds the military. The welfare state. The deficit spending.

The petrodollar is more important to US hegemony than aircraft carriers.

And there's a pattern of what happens to leaders who challenge it:

2000: Saddam Hussein announces Iraq will sell oil in euros instead of dollars.

2003: Invaded. Regime change. Iraq's oil immediately switched back to dollars. Saddam lynched.

The WMDs were never found because they never existed.

2009: Gaddafi proposes a gold-backed African currency called the "gold dinar" for oil trade.

Hillary Clinton's own leaked emails confirm this was the PRIMARY reason for intervention.

Email quote: "This gold was intended to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar."

2011: NATO bombs Libya. Gaddafi sodomized and murdered. Libya now has open slave markets.

"We came, we saw, he died!" Clinton laughed on camera.

The gold dinar died with him.

And now Maduro.

With FIVE TIMES more oil than Saddam and Gaddafi combined.

Actively selling in yuan.

Building payment systems outside dollar control.

Petitioning to join BRICS.

Partnered with China, Russia, and Iran.

The three countries leading global de-dollarization.

This isn't coincidence.

Challenge the petrodollar. Get regime changed.

Every. Single. Time.

Stephen Miller (US homeland security advisor) literally said it out loud two weeks ago:

"American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property."

He's not hiding it.

They're claiming Venezuelan oil BELONGS to America because US companies developed it 100 years ago.

By this logic, every nationalized resource in history was "theft."

But here's the DEEPER problem:

The petrodollar is already dying.

Russia sells oil in rubles and yuan since Ukraine.

Saudi Arabia is openly discussing yuan settlements.

Iran has been trading in non-dollar currencies for years.

China built CIPS, their own alternative to SWIFT with 4,800 banks in 185 countries.

BRICS is actively building payment systems that bypass the dollar entirely.

The mBridge project lets central banks settle trades instantly in local currencies.

Venezuela joining BRICS with 303 billion barrels of oil would accelerate this exponentially.

That's what this invasion is really about.

Not stopping drugs. Venezuela accounts for less than 1% of US cocaine.

Not terrorism. There's zero evidence Maduro runs a "terror organization."

Not democracy. The US supports Saudi Arabia, which has zero elections.

This is about maintaining a 50-year-old agreement that lets America print money while the world works for it.

And the consequences are terrifying:

Russia, China, and Iran are already denouncing this as "armed aggression."

China is Venezuela's biggest oil customer. They're losing billions.

BRICS nations are watching a country get invaded for trading outside the dollar.

Every nation considering de-dollarization just got the message:

Challenge the dollar and we will bomb you.

But here's the problem...

That message might accelerate de-dollarization, not stop it.

Because now every country in the Global South knows what happens if you threaten dollar hegemony.

And they're realizing the only protection is to move FASTER.

The timing is insane too:

January 3rd, 2026. Venezuela invaded. Maduro captured.

January 3rd, 1990. Panama invaded. Noriega captured.

36 years apart. Almost to the day.

Same playbook. Same "drug trafficking" excuse.

Same real reason: control of strategic resources and trade routes.

History doesn't repeat. But it rhymes.

What happens next:

Trump's press conference at Mar-a-Lago sets the narrative.

US oil companies are already lined up. Politico reported they've been approached about "returning to Venezuela."

The opposition will be installed. Oil will flow in dollars again.

Venezuela becomes another Iraq. Another Libya.

But here's what nobody's asking:

What happens when you can no longer bomb your way to dollar dominance?

When China has enough economic leverage to retaliate?

When BRICS controls 40% of global GDP and says "no more dollars"?

When the world realizes the petrodollar is maintained by violence?

America just showed its hand.

The question is whether the rest of the world folds or calls the bluff.

Because this invasion is an admission that the dollar can no longer compete on its own merits.

When you have to bomb countries to keep them using your currency, the currency is already dying.

Venezuela isn't the beginning.

It's the desperate end.

What do you think?

LordAdam16:
this speech by acting president rodriguez is a humiliation for trump

how do you announce to the world that you now run venezuela

Thank you.

I don't even think air defense systems can detect helicopters.

shoodboi2:
There’s a reason the US is using helicopters rather than airplanes for its assault.

Shooting at helicopters is different from airplanes. Most ADs are optimized for airplanes and helis can easily bypass them by flying low or flying around mountains. When detected, the helicopters can just remain in hover position which makes them hard and sometimes impossible to zero on.

The script here is to use low flying helicopters to take out the ADs. Thereafter, the jets will be able to fly freely across the Venezuelan skies.

Finally, someone sees it
The UAE supports terrorist elements even on the African continent.
We have new players who have chosen the African continent as the next theater to settle geopolitical disputes.
The Arabs and the Turks are here and not a lot of people see how this will end.
Well, Israel has always wielded influence around the horn of Africa.
Turkey's 400 hectares military base in Mogadishu was definitely gonna have consequences, I think we all saw that recently, surprised the Israelis waited this long.

At this point one can't help but wonder what the AU is doing to prevent and secure the continent from these foreign influences.

So far, all of West Africa is fair game to terror groups backed by these new players.
