We are prepared to increase pressure on Russia, but we need our partners in Europe to follow us. We are in a race now between how long can the Ukrainian military hold up versus how long can the Russian economy hold up.

And if the US and the EU can come in with more sanctions, more secondary tariffs on the countries that buy Russian oil, the Russian economy will be in full collapse and that will bring Putin to the table.

⚡Russia launched a major drone and missile strike on Kyiv, causing a fire at Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers building.

About 1,000 drones attacked Ukraine overnight, which may be a record.

No one can give Maduro what has been given to Zelensky.

You'd need to ship him AD batteries on a weekly basis because the US is an air-centric fighting force.

Maybe they have an ingenious plan they'd spring as a surprise.
But it'll be a surprise to both their critics and cheerleaders.

All the good plans I can think of involve going underground and insurgency.
Neither of which sounds unpalatable to the Americans.
Colombia has had the FARC insurgency. Life goes on.
Maduro or any successor going underground and being replaced by a US stooge at least on the internationally-recognized circuit, even if they don't control most of the country, is good enough.
All they really need are the oil fields as in Syria.

I don't think Maduro is unserious per se.
He could have done more on the economic front.
Invite Chinese economists to craft a socialist-capitalist economic plan.
Even then, that type of plan only worked in China and Vietnam because they were not under steep sanctions.
Without kudi, all plans are visions at best.

It's just hard to pass verdicts on leaders dealing with biting sanctions.
Nigeria is not under heavy sanctions, look how messy it is.
Under the circumstances, Chavez and Maduro have navigated a troubling situation quite competently.
Unless Russia and China gave them firm security guarantees, it was always going to be difficult to hold back the Americans if they decided to go kinetic.

Syria has emboldened the Americans after the Afghanistan facepalm.
Decapitate the Venezuelan leadership, install a stooge, seize the oil fields, maybe even sponsor one or a few of the many armed insurgent groups that'll emerge to keep the stooge honest. All done and with minimal American loss of life.

These Airheads no longer celebrate Ukraine winning anymore. Maybe because there's none.

They went from celebrating non existent generals being killed daily to celebrating drone strikes on defenseless refineries lmaoo.

Yesterday Ukraine fired dozens of their so called game changing Flamingo and neptune missiles towards Crimea and Crimean Bridge.

Well guess what happened to those missiles lol?

Knowing Russia, they're probably already working on a permanent solution to these drone strikes. Leaving these dumbos with nothing to celebrate.

They might start celebrating Zelensky being alive and then Russia fixes that too. 😁 😁

⚡President Trump is weighing a 'multitude of options' for carrying out military strikes inside Venezuela, according to informed sources – CNN

WriteerNg:
⚡China is investing $1B to reactivate Venezuela’s oil production, installing a massive floating platform in Lake Maracaibo to bring dormant wells back online and ramp output to 60,000 bpd by 2026.

It’s long-term infrastructure, under a 20-year production-sharing deal, aimed at export growth and energy sovereignty.

The U.S., meanwhile, is parking warships, F-35s, and nuclear subs in the Caribbean under the pretext of “counter-narcotics,” escalating toward strikes on Venezuelan soil.

Where China builds platforms and pipelines, Washington positions carrier groups and missile batteries.

One offers Venezuela capital, tech, and market access. The other offers blockades, sanctions, and threats of regime change.

The same thing across Southeast Asia and Africa. Tomorrow, some people will chant cHiNa bAd🙄

Just last week in Katsina, Chinese investors pledged almost $1BN into various areas of the economy. It was then I realised cassava could even be cultivated in the far north. The US is literally telling Africans "we don't want you" with all sorts of visa policies, but we keep reading China do this, China do that yen yen yen.

LordAdam16:
Na even the Global South dey dull China spirit.

China is looking for good places to deploy capital.
In July, Morgan Stanley issued their first Panda Bond.
Rate of only 1.98%.

Imagine the massive value that can be unlocked when Global South industrialists can access capital at 2% pa.
Rates historically only open to European giants with phenomenal credit rating.

It is in our collective interest that the Dragon breathes fire.
I cannot overemphasize that.
In China we trust, others we grill.
