Without our independence, Moscow will inevitably come for Poland.

It is very important that Ukraine and Poland exist together.

⚡U.S. imposes sanctions on seven associates and family members of Nicolas Maduro and his wife — Reuters
This coward should invade and let's see. The fact that CIA has not been able to infiltrate the Maduro regime and the fear of an invasion that could turn into a Vietnam/Afghanistan quagmire shows how united Venezuela is.

China under Xi is on the right path. China has just recorded a breakthrough in microchip production. There are few choke points left for the US to keep them hostage. The chief of which is the dollar.

A fast rising China should avoid wars by any means possible. The US is trying her best to force China's hand, with aim being to put China in the present situation Russia is in. Xi has so far escaped.

As for the so called cheap energy, Venezuela is not China's main source of oil. Libya fell, Iraq fell, Syria fell, all energy gaints. Yet China didn't fall. It's Venezuela's fall that will now bring China down? dey play cheesy cheesy And don't compare China with Germany, they are two different entities, with different economic structures and systems.

The West controls most of Libyan, Syrian, Iraqi and even Egyptian oil. Yet, lots of this same oil lands at Chinese ports. China has been buying oil anf gas at the normal international price, right before the Russian Ukraine war, and they have been doing well, Venezuela going down will not cripple China's growth. Stop making up things in your head. Xi knows what he is doing. And I support him. He won't foolishly throw his country's progress down the well in the name of Venezuela, which is not even among its top five source of energy...
while you're ranting
china is sending its ships with venezuelan naval escorts to keep the oil flowing
china buys up to 90% of all oil venezuela pumps out
if venezuela is able to increase its oil output, china will buy more and vz will displace the likes of angola and brazil as top energy sources

so your read of the situation is anemic
no one abandons discount energy
china could have signed the siberia 2 pipeline deal years ago, but insisted on a discounted price which russia was unwilling to give while it still had the european market
you think a china willing to wait for a discounted price from its "no-limit" partner will casually give up cheap venezuelan oil

it is beyond obvious that xi's conflict aversion has run its course
china has fought proxy wars against the us in korea and vietnam
heaven did not fall. the us lost both wars. china is still standing. as are north korea and vietnam.
it is time for xi to fill body bags

⚡Putin answering a question on whether the 3I/ATLAS comet, which has been flying towards Earth for several months. could be an alien ship (my translation):

"Let’s keep this strictly between us, because it's classified information. (It's) our secret weapon. We’ll only use it in the most extreme case. Which we won’t, because we’re actually against putting weapons in space.

"Jokes aside, it’s just a comet. Our scientists know exactly what it is. It’s from another galaxy, so it behaves differently from our local comets. It has a different shell, comes closer to the Sun, some unusual processes on the surface. Even the tail looks a bit odd. Nothing mystical.

"It’s a decent size, maybe two to six kilometres. But for perspective: the Moon is 400,000 kilometres away. This thing is hundreds of millions of kilometres from us. So no, it’s not about to hit anyone."
Nasa will never reveal this kind of information to the USA government rather they will twist it to it about to hit the earth give more billions so we can stop it

⚡Putin's message to future generations of Russians that will live in a hundred years:

"We, who lived in Russia in the endless stream of time in the 20th and 21st centuries, gratefully perceived everything that was done by our predecessors, our ancestors.

We lived like everyone else, everywhere and always with our current concerns, but we did not stand still. We moved forward, we worked, fought, and tried our best to solve the problems that our time presented to us. We thought about the future, we thought about you.


And if our message is now in your hands — it means that you too feel part of our common, endless stream of time. It means that you too feel and understand the connection of times. This is very important. Congratulations on this.

It means that we too, when we worked, fought, and thought about you, did not live in vain. And we achieved a lot. We wish that luck will always be with you. And that you will be happy. That your children, your grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will be proud of you, just as we are proud of our fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers in our time."

See the reason why Iran uses Hezbollah, Hamas and the houthi is because they have alot to lose in a war with Israel...

Iran lost alot during the war... Their nuclear facilities were hit hard.

They had no allies

They lost control of their airspace

Their generals...

Using long range missiles won't even achieve much so I don't even know what they achieved besides hitting blank targets

what's with Saudi vs UAE these days?

yemeni war, UAE alignment with Israel etc

looks like there is now a gulf within the Gulf states...

can this benefit Iran?
and the axis?
on the surface, it is petty rivalry
even when the class of saddam, mubarak, assad, and gadaffi held sway; they were all competing against each other to be the top dog in the region
now that they are all out, the uae wants to deliver the coup de grace to saudi arabia and has enlisted the help of israel

however, i consider the uae v saudi arabia tussle to be geopolitical paralympics
both are abject failures
there is no benefit to any axis power because their interests align 80% of the time and they set aside their rivalry to pursue common goals
as in syria, lebanon, qatar

So you really believe Xi would defend Venezuela with his Navy if America strikes? grin grin That's how you guys hyped Iran, still neither China nor Russia came to Iran's aid.

The Chinese Navy has had a presence in South America for some time now. It's not because of the present tension between the US and Venezuela. Wait till the US strikes, that is if they really mean it cheesy cheesy, till then, let's watch what how the whole game turns ou.

US would have struck Venezuela if it had the balls to do that instead of opting for a cowardly way to put pressure on the country even the CIA could not infiltrate the regime.

Iran has a conventional deterrence and we saw it in the 12 day war so it doesn't need China or Russia to come to its aid.

The United States maintains a very firm grip of the Western hemisphere, this has never been in question, the doctrine never seized to be in effect.
No country dares intervene on how the US coordinates it affairs in the Western hemisphere, not even the Chinese ( even though they have 3x the investment of the Russians in Venezuela ).

The new embargo would clearly prove if the term or association "Axis" exists or it's merely a political fantasy.
Interesting days ahead ✌️
You're so right.

But, I detest nations like Venezuela that chose to be reactive rather than proactive.

In a world governed by realpolitiks, and segmented into spheres of great powers competing for global and geopolitical relevance and dominance, there are no rooms for weakness and indifference.

It is either you pitch tent with the devil or stay right with God.

The hegemonic animosity that the Hugo Chavez era faced should have been a wake up call for the likes of Maduro.

When you have huge levels of mineral resources and living in close proximity to the world most dangerous, thief and terrorist nation ruled by greedy bankers, a diabolic MIC and their hawkish contractors and lobbyists, you should be ready for whatever.

That means, either you're "armed to the teeth" or at least, under the security and economic umbrella of other great powers.

Sadly, Maduro's Venezuela is neither in BRICS nor in the SCO.

Unlike Iran and the Houthis, Venezuela is neither armed nor capable of inflicting immense pain on the hegemon that's now blazingly lurking in its backyard.

The same hegemon that ran away from the Red Sea and begged for a cease fire with Iran. Blowback is the only language it understands.

And after the desperate attempt to overthrow him in 2019, one would have thought that Maduro have learnt his lessons and prepared Venezuela for worst days like this. But what do we have?

Stupid cries of "aggression and oppression" that only falls on deaf ears. While the blood suckers and thieves in Washington salivate in unbearable sadistic apprehension of billions ill-gotten wealth flowing to their accounts. They knew this one is going to be an easy ride, so to say.

The hounds driving the hegemon are not even trying to mask their intent anymore. They now openly say the oil in Venezuela belongs to them.

Like we knew from the onset. It was never drugs. It's the oil. The curse of the Yankee political class and bankers.

Like I have said times without number: if God will not burn America with nuclear fire, he will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.

But I trust he will.

Coming back....

The blockade will tighten gradually once the US perceives that neither the axis nor Venezuela are willing to escalate.

Recently, a Russian cargo ship was blocked by a US naval ship from berthing at a port in Venezuela. The Russians made their grievance known to the US. And I'm sure there would be no second time.

If there is, and the Russians did not act in kind, then Maduro should just kiss his government goodbye. Russia is Venezuela's best bet to countering any US threatened or enforced embargo.

China will never sail any of its naval assets from the Pacific to the western hemisphere to bolster Venezuela in any form. But Russia and Iran can easily intercept and seize US economic ships in open waters under flimsy excuses.

Another great way Venezuela can escape the noose is if the neighbouring nations unite and rally around it against the US. Knowing Trump for who he is, the humiliation go make am chicken out quickly.

But as far as Venezuela goes, anything can happen.

You understand very well what they are saying, but you just like to argue for the sake of it. Nobody is talking about China going into direct conflict with US because of Venezuela. Are you going to tell me you dont know the meaning of proxy wars like US is currently doing in Ukraine? US is about to send 11 billion worth of weapons to Taiwan, so what makes you think China won't send weapons to Venezuela too
