A little bird just told me the "Three crowns" customs service just boarded a russian vessel in international waters..😂😂

Ho, Ho, Ho, 🎄 it the season of boarding illegal vessels.. at this rate the Nigerian navy will be boarding Russian ships soon🤪🤪

⚡Finnish President Stubb:

I agree with Tulsi Gabbard’s assessment that the NATO resolve is so high that there’s no interest for Russia to attack.

I don’t think that Russia has changed its main aim, which is basically to destroy the existence of Ukraine.

The resources belong to Venezuela. It's not rocket science they can hire people to run the oil extraction ,transportation ,refining and export.


nigeriansamurai:
what was the percentage of revenue that was Venezuela received from her oil, when America was in charge?
Are you trying to justify America seizing control of Another nations resources? America virtual stole Venezuelas crude for years after WW2 (even when America and Chevron controlled Venezuelas oil, there was still scarcity).
You also failed to mention that the major reason for downfall of these refineries was also as a result of American sanctions and economic sabotages aimed at Venezuela for Taking back control of her resources. It had nothing to do with corruption in Venezuela.
If American companies were exporting , the Venezuela govt should have been getting royalties No ship should leave it's shores without having paid the necessary dues.
In 2000 Royalties earned Venezuela $19.1B .Today the amounts are in the low $5B with Venezuela in charge u

On a serious note, has Maduro and Chavez been good for the Venezuelan people?
Maduro is Cuba trained puppet .
Much as I want Ukraine war to end and Zelensky to lose ,I am no fan of communists. Communists brook no dissent. Russia ,China , North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela ,add liberal Brazil.
Is this ignorance or deliberate assertion to provoke unwarranted argument?

What does Maduro being good or not good to his people has to do with US unilateral bullying and shameless attempt to steal Venezuela mineral resources?.

You're witnessing open terrorism and state piracy in international politics where one powerful state is blockading another less powerful state simply because it does not like its leader and openly says the oil in that country belongs to it. Yet, folks like you wants to justify US act of terror and bullying.

Well, the world order has since moved from that viewpoint. People everywhere now sees the US for what we have always known it to be: a thief, terrorist, and bloodsucking demon that thrives on the destruction and plundering of other nations that don't align with its diabolic, hegemonic interest.

Colombia is the world's leading producer of cocaine, accounting for a dominant share of global production. Recent estimates from sources citing the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) place Colombia's share at approximately 60% to 70% of the world's total cocaine supply.
Caribbean Route: This route is also significant, especially for the U.S. East Coast market. Cocaine moves from Colombia, often transiting through Venezuela, to islands such as the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and Haiti. From there, smaller vessels take the drugs to the U.S. mainland, particularly Florida.


Why would you let Cartel of the Suns whose head is Maduro bring weapons of death to your country.

Being a russian general living in moscow or a terrorist leader in the middle-east.. I don't know which one is more hazardous!!🤪🤪

One of the shinning light of this war in ukraine has been the Security Service of Ukraine!!.The SBU they have covered themselves in glory throughout the course of the war. bringing the war closer to the upper echelons of the russian militay apparatus even in their enclave in moscow

I sincerely hope the CIA and other sister european intelligence agencies are taking notes, the lessons, experiences, and expertise gotten from this current war by the SBU will be useful for any potential clandestine operations inside Russia in the future

P.s some clowns will called this beauty of an operation a terrorist attack!!😂😂😂😂

This is the problem with our western and Hollywood wars fans. They distort your points and then attack the distorted version.

They don’t bother addressing your claims, they are straw man specialists and they claim victory after attacking their own delusions.

The CIA is involved directly or indirectly in every major drug deal in Latin America.

CIA has been involved in clandestine activities. If they want to overthrow a govt they will blend in with every character, for example pretend to ship drugs while gathering Intel and collecting weak points
Only they can do that because there is no oversight and for plausible deniability.

Venezuela is a transit point for East Coast cocaine from Colombia. Fact.
If you really want to stop drugs flowing you go to the source,not wait at your borders.That is if you have the military might.
It's that simple. Mentioning CIA covert involvement won't stop those drug boats from smuggling drugs into your country.
As regards Maduro , Russia is under sanctions but their people are not eating rats and dogs .

It's imperealism in other words I'm not disputing that. Western greed. Venezuelan oil is a lot ,if they can be kept out of OPEC the better for Trump. It also breaks the Chinese influence. It's part of his war against China . Trump is ready to cosy up to Putin to isolate China.
China is the big prize that's not what many don't see.

Drugs ,I feel it's a moral duty to stop them at the source. Colombia recent elections elected a conservative who will be kowtowed to crack down on poppy farms. If you cut off Venezuela transit route that leaves Mexico route which actually does 70% of Colombia cocaine .

The elephant in the room is China. The drug war is the pathway. This map puts in the best perspective.
EU is foolishly fighting to weaken Russia.

The vessel impounded yesterday was China bound , disrupt Chinese oil supply which has too many sources , buy it's still a small dent.

Are you on a mission? I dared you on a religious matter and you backed off. I defend Trump policies that I align with.
I actually support Putin war against Ukraine though I'm greatly disappointed he has not rained down some Oreshniks on Zelensky palace and Kyiv parliament.
I'd rather the EU than China.
To break up China, you need to isolate them from Russia and that's the reason I'm happy when conservatives win in EU and America.

I have a hard time following what you are saying. It is almost as if there are three or four people commenting with your account. One moment you are saying something and the next moment, you are discrediting yourself and saying something else.

But now, you're somehow roping China into it. I hope you realize that China had to fight two wars (the first and second opium wars) just to prevent Britain from bringing drugs into their country?

There is a reason China and southeast Asia in general have the harshest anti-drug laws in the world. They do not tolerate drug use, manufacture, or transportation in any form.

And talking of attacking drugs at the source, can you mention any government and intelligence agency that has been implicated in the drug trade as we have seen with the US and the CIA? Nope. The US is the drug lord of the world.

Everywhere they go, drug follows, and they always make sure to keep the drug trade running.

In Afghanistan, the US allowed farmers to plant poppy, which is used to make opium and heroin, and even used tanks and soldiers to protect these poppy fields from being attacked and destroyed by the Taliban?

And while doing this, the US was lying to the world and telling everyone that the Taliban was the one planting poppy and making opium and heroin. Imagine that?

The Taliban literally went all out against poppy after defeating the US and has been ridding the country of poppy farmers and addicts since it came into power.

The US is drugs and drugs is the US. But if you want to use the drug excuse, you must remember that Venezuela is not the HQ of drugs in South America and it is not the drug den closest to the US either.

The drugs scourge is from Chins which manufactures the fentanyl precursors and ships them to cartels in Mexico and Latin America.
China and Venezuela are on good terms. If you want to isolate China start by regime change of it's ally Venezuela. Venezuela being a significant transit point for drugs offers the perfect excuse to blockade it and stop it's oil exports to China.

That's all I'm saying .

As for US and Taliban they invaded it hoping to change closed minds to accept the western mindset. They went there to win heart's and minds , very foolish strategy.

My position is that China as the superpower is worse than America. The EU is not helping with aiding the Ukraine war . If Ukraine will not join NATO and EU there will be no war The foolish EU sanctions their main energy source and Ukraine blew up the Nordstream. Energy prices in Europe went up in tandem with manufacturing costs. The Ukraine war is weakening Europe and strengthening China.
EU is the same one sabotaging the peace talks while Russia gains more territories.
China is the country you should worry about not America or Russia.
