‼️ Venezuela reports 40 killed in Trump special operation – NYT

🇳🇴 Russia Sends Spies Disguised as Tourists to Norway The Norwegian Finnmark Brigade is strengthening its presence along the northern border with Russia in response to rising spy activity and hybrid threats. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/russia-sends...

⚡️Soldier injured in car explosion, classified as terror attack in Kyiv. A car belonging to a soldier exploded in Kyiv on Jan. 4, injuring him, the city prosecutor's office reported. The blast went off as the soldier was opening the trunk, the statement read.

I know several oil barons, I’ve had the oil and gas industry as clients in a past life: none of them want the Venezuelan oil, it’s dog shit quality and getting the PDVSA fields up to modern standards would take 20 years! It’s just trump being stuck in 1987

OK, crash course in oil. Oil has two main gradings, viscosity (light or heavy) and sulfur (sweet or sour). A light (low viscosity) and sweet (low sulfur) oil is easier to process into gasoline and other products than a heavy and sour one, so the light & sweet oil commands a premium price.

"What about the right of the people of Venezuela to self determination" 😂

Jaana was a distinguished engineer at GitHub and is now a principal engineer at Google. I expect more testimonials from accomplished engineers about productivity gains of AI in 2026. Engineers claiming AI tools don’t work well will increasingly look like a skill issue than a problem with AI tools

UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager Holidays are not for everyone. Around 20,000 Ukrainian civilians are held captive by russia. They are detained outside any legal framework — as hostages. This is a war crime that has lasted for years — and is happening right now. Rarely mentioned. Never. Forgotten.

Hey I know her.

This is funny, and possibly important. But if Putin can’t even take half of Ukraine, how is he going to get through Poland and the Baltics? Let alone Germany, France and UK. Some crayon filled naïveté at play

Ukraine now produces over 200 FP‑1/FP‑2 long-range strike drones per day at about $58,000 per FP‑1, significantly cheaper than Russian Shaheds, Fire Point CTO Iryna Terekh said.

He wasn't so rules-based when it was about Russia invading Ukraine and trying to assassinate its president.

Funny how genocide fanboy Jeremy Corbyn thinks Ukraine must surrender and give up its land to Russia “for peace” but has no problem saying the USA is at fault and should remove itself from Venezuela unilaterally.

Enjoy your multipolar world, dude.

Hey BRICS loving arseholes in the West, this is what a multi-polar world looks like you stupid motherfuckers!

Jak ustaliło OKO.press na początku 2026 roku powstaną wyspecjalizowane zespoły prokuratorów, które ścigać będą za mowę nienawiści! Prokuratorzy będą stawiać zarzuty za agresję, nawet tylko werbalną, motywowaną czyjąś narodowością, religią, kolorem skóry czy orientacją seksualną!

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks” whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to” don’t give them cover on it

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

Anyway, big congrats to Nobel Peace Laureate Maria Corina Machado for getting the war she practically begged for — only for it to blow up spectacularly in her face. And of course, to presidenta-por-vida Rodriguez for gaining a powerful new patron and everything else she ever could have wanted

*If* this was just a coup intended to put Delcy in power, it may functionally be pretext for the U.S. to "switch sides" from the Venezuelan people (represented by exiled opposition leaders) to the Venezuelan dictatorship (now represented by Rodriguez).

Dette er også grunnen til at den mumlete ikke-fordømmelsen fra europeiske ledere er så skandaløs. Den setter nordisk sikkerhet i direkte fare.

Katie Miller's post with Greenland covered with the US flag should kick Europe into awareness that the US is a hostile power.

The wife of one of Trump's closest advisors implies Trump will soon use the military to occupy Greenland and take it by force.

Trump shows that, as before, fascism leads to war. It appears to be in the very nature of fascism and fascists to become aggressive.

You can’t report illegal acts because you don’t want to compromise them being carried out is an interesting take, if true

"The dangerous thing here is the idea that a President can just decide that a leader is not legitimate and then invade the country and presumably put someone in power who is favored by the Administration. If that were the case, that’s the end of international law"

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has struck a defiant tone against the United States in her first major public address since the early-morning invasion of her country.

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US; “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

In Europe’s highly regulated markets, prices cannot adjust to balance demand and supply

Chile’s President Gabriel Boric warns of US invasion: "Today it's Venezuela, tomorrow it could be any other" #VenezuelaInvasion

I feel like I’m going insane, there is, like, an actual Venezuelan government that still exists

I know this is yesterday’s news and feels relatively unimportant now but just want to note that this is ongoing and X and xAI continue to do absolutely nothing about it despite being able to end it by pressing a single button.

NYT: At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

"Key to all of this is understanding that US companies are explicitly going to be used to enforce US national security interests. And that includes the US technology companies that are at the heart of our national infrastructure and embedded into our everyday lives."

You know what, I think we all owe the Bush administration an apology because this is all making Iraq look like a well rehearsed symphony.

China: ‘military operation violated international law’ Spain: PM Sánchez: International law & the principles of the UN Charter must be respected’ Mexico: President Sheinbaum rejected the US aggression against Venezuela. Starmer: “I do get on with President Trump"

💪 The Northern part of Pokrovsk is controlled by the Defense Forces,the enemy is suffering losses near Mirnograd Units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces are repelling the active offensive of the enemy and have repelled 49 enemy attacks since the beginning of the day.

It's not the first protest season in Iran. It's highly unlikely anything will come out of it, because the opposition is fragmented and has no strong local leadership (expats are not a substitute).

It goes without saying that the Russian-made air defense assets around Caracas, Venezuela, completely failed to do their job. Neither the 9K317M2 Buk-M2E - pictured here - nor the S-300VM respectively Pantsir-S1 could stop the US operation and were neutralized by US forces.

I've been trying to come up with a good way to word this but I think there really isn't anything to do other than say it: I've had many AI nudes and sexually suggestive images generated of me and sent to me via burner emails. Started last year, kept going through today. This is where we are.

🗣️ Donald Trump: Nie możemy dopuścić, by krajem kierował ktoś, kto nie potrafi sprawować władzy w sposób właściwy. (...) W razie potrzeby, jesteśmy gotowi na drugi atak. Prezydent USA na konferencji prasowej ws. ataku na Wenezuelę ⤵️

Next up…. Trump says Colombian President Gustavo Petro “really does have to watch his ass”.

I’m sorry, we’re justifying the arrest of the head of a foreign military on the grounds that he had … machine guns

Donald Trump has said the US will “run” Venezuela and is prepared to launch a second much “bigger” attack following the early morning strikes on the country ➡️ Read more: trib.al/EWK8nvI

JUST IN: Trump says the U.S. will “run” Venezuela for now, until a “proper transition” can take place

Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

Ok Dems, precedent is set. I expect Netanyahu blindfolded and handcuffed onboard the USS Iwo Jima on January 22, 2029.
