⚡After capturing President Maduro, the Trump administration is betting that threats of further U.S. military action—along with possible amnesty or exile offers—will pressure Venezuela’s remaining leaders into cooperation.

Washington hopes to influence a political transition and secure oil interests without deploying ground troops, relying instead on airstrike threats, a naval buildup, and restrictions on Venezuelan oil exports.

⚡Russia's Medvedev:

The kidnapping of the neo-Nazi Merz could be an excellent twist in this carnival of events.

This is not entirely unrealistic.

⚡Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen:

There is neither reason for panic nor for concern.

The image shared by Katie Miller, depicting Greenland wrapped in an American flag, changes nothing whatsoever.

Our country is not for sale, and our future is not decided by social media posts.

That said, the image is disrespectful.

⚡Venezuela’s VP Delcy Rodríguez:

The governments of the world are shocked that the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is a victim and target of an attack of this nature, which undoubtedly has Zionist undertones.

⚡Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen:

Trump must stop his threats against Greenland.

It makes absolutely no sense to talk about the U.S. needing to take over Greenland.

U.S. has no right to annex any of the three nations in the Danish Kingdom.

⚡TRUMP:

"Mexico has to get their act together because [drugs] are pouring through Mexico, and we're going to have to do something.

We'd love Mexico to do it. They're capable of doing it, but unfortunately... the cartels are running Mexico."

⚡The decisive break between President Trump and Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado centers on the Nobel Peace Prize.

According to people close to the White House, Trump’s lack of interest in backing Machado stemmed from her decision to accept the Nobel Peace Prize, an award he has openly coveted.

One person familiar with internal discussions called it the “ultimate sin,” saying that had Machado publicly refused the prize in Trump’s name, “she’d be the president of Venezuela today.”

⚡Senator Graham:

You just wait for Cuba. Cuba is a communist dictatorship that’s killed priests and nuns. They’ve preyed on their own people. Their days are numbered.

We’re going to wake up one day — I hope in ’26 — and in our backyard, we’re going to have allies in these countries doing business with America, not terrorist dictators killing Americans.

You know what Denmark did recently to boost up security on Greenland? They added one more dog sled. It’s true.

They thought that was a great move.

Where are those cretins that said the US likes to use soft power to achieve their aims while Russia likes to use force.

The US bombing 7 countries in the space of 6 months, is that soft power?

Kidnapping a head of State and trying to assassinate another, is that soft power?

The US soft power (dollars, sanctions and embargos) no longer works. The world has changed, people are smarter now.

Soon there will no power left for the US.

⚡Trump on Delcy Rodríguez:

You hear a different person than I hear. I don’t think there was pushback.

“Kidnapping” of Maduro is not a bad term.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 7:55am On Jan 05
⚡Reporter: What do you need from Delcy Rodríguez?

Trump: We need total access. We need access to the oil and to other things in their country that allow us to rebuild their country.

⚡Trump:

Cuba always survived because of Venezuela. Now they won’t have that money coming and they won’t have the income coming in.

You know, a lot of Cubans were killed yesterday. You know that — a lot of Cubans were killed, the bodyguards.

They stole our property. It was the greatest theft in the history of America.

Nobody has ever stolen our property like they have. They took our oil away from us.

⚡Reporter: There was a time back in 2016, I remember your RNC speech, and you were criticizing regime change and nation-building.

Trump: This isn’t a country that’s on the other side of the world. This isn’t a country where you have to travel 24 hours on an airplane. This is Venezuela. It’s in our area. The Donroe Doctrine.

I’ve always known the Americans are so much in love with oil but I never knew it was to this extent. It’s insanity at this point.

These guys will do literally anything to get their hands on that sticky black gold. Oil producing countries can never have peace with these people around.

One clown in his hamlet in nigeria is saying Madame Delcy Rodríguez will defy President Trump..I just dey shake my head.. You dey nairaland dey yan dust.. while delcy Venezuela is surrounded by the largest US naval blockage not seen since the hay days of the cuban missiles crisis.😂😂

Is it not the same Venezuela administration under Maduro which included the same Delcy that offered Trump unlimited access and rights to Venezuela oil??

The funny thing about our in-house clowns is they will always hype.. and when the "chiefs are down" they will later they start resorting to excuses..

if the us cannot deploy troops to secure venezuela right in their backyard
what are they going to do in taiwan?

taiwan is gone
and how china reunites with taiwan is entirely up to the emperor
can be done the easy way
or the bloody way
and by bloody i mean taiwan will be unrecognizable and its entire elite class will be bombed into oblivion
destroy it and rebuild from scratch

the us dropped 7m tons on indochina
if china drops that on taiwan, there'll be nothing left

after jan 3
there is zero concern whatsoever among the chinese general staff about the future of taiwan
everyone and everything in taiwan including the president are at the mercy of the emperor
if taiwan had a land border, there may be complications
but it is an island that cannot grow its own food even
everyone used to assume amphibious landing would be china's waterloo
then the usreal set the precedent

if they don't accept peaceful reunification
no one is deploying sh*t to secure anything
form a ring around it and blast it until they surrender
starting from the president and his fam, the entire cabinet, and the military hq
then you work your way down

come to think of it
folks should stop trying to make taiwan into a thing
it isn't anymore

this is why the south korean president is in china presently
despite being warned against doing so by the us and the us suspended some arms deliveries
a us that is scared of putting troops in ukraine and venezuela is useless in the pacific
and south korea has way too much to lose

na the philippines i pity pass
japan is japan
even after china wrecks them, china will still need to see a doctor to get stitches
but the philippines 😂🤣😃
australia will tap out
india has already checked out and a future pm may have designs of his own over the indian subcontinent

I like as they're overestimating their power, it'll make them make mistakes and bite more than they can chew.

Then they'll get knocked back to reality.

BREAKING.... Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has a back-up plan to flee Iran for Moscow with a close circle of up to 20 aides and family should unrest intensify and security forces desert or fail to suppress the protests, The Times reported on Sunday, citing an intelligence report shared with it.

“The ‘plan B’ is for Khamenei and his very close circle of associates and family, including his son and nominated heir apparent, Mojtaba,” The Times reported citing an intelligence source.

“They have plotted an exit route out of Tehran should they feel the need to escape,” which includes “gathering assets, properties abroad and cash to facilitate their safe passage," the source was quoted as saying.

Khamenei is now “weaker, both mentally and physically” since the 12-day war with Israel in June, The Times reported citing a psychological profile of Khamenei done by a Western intelligence agency.

The profile called Khamenei a “paranoid” leader, a trait that shaped his plan to leave Iran should the Islamic Republic's security forces desert him.

“On one hand, he is very ideologically motivated, but on the other he is pragmatic in what he sees: he sees tactical compromise for long-term greater cause. He is a long-term thinker,” read the assessment.

colombia, mexico, venezuela, and brazil

you don't have what it takes to fight a restive populace of 400m in four countries
but everyday going forward i hope they really try

you don't sh*t where you eat
you don't place trash in your living room
this is a gift to the axis
the us will be bogged down in the americas
and the axis will use the chaos as cover to conduct operations in mainland us
they may be grinning because of putin and xi
but they would almost certainly become more belligerent and be replaced by stalin and mao-esque leaders
case in point, medvedev has been jubilant since jan 3
he now knows he is right at the top of the list of putin successors whether putin anoints him or not
