<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSomething that supports the idea that there were bribes and promises behind it is that Venezuela had a lot of MANPADS and about twenty low-flying helicopters are easy targets, but only a few were fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The military should reasonably have been on high alert, especially at an army base?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now it will probably become politically uncertain, and various groups are considering how they can seize power – a high risk that the country will be further destabilized if we go by the USA’s previous attempts at democratization that haven’t gone so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump is obviously lying so he becomes even more orange in the face about the reason for the raid – the reason was to threaten their way to Venezuela’s natural resources, exactly as the USA has been doing since the 60s and up to the Iraq wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole of South America is collectively sighing with recognition right now, and everyone over 60 is getting acute anxiety when they remember the unpainted blood-stained concrete walls in the interrogation rooms and the waterboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Absolutely rule-breaking, unethical, pitch-black, and everything else that we really didn’t need now that Russia and China have started with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the USA has made a strategic move that is very good for the USA – it’s hard to get away from, no matter how frustrated you are with the USA and Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My guess, which I’ve been airing for a while, is that the USA, China, and Russia have divided the world among themselves. This doesn’t mean they are all in agreement, just that they have each chosen geographical areas of interest that the other two have promised not to go to war over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump has already been very clear that Russia can have Ukraine and that China can have Taiwan, and evidently China and Russia did not go to war over Venezuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venezuela was not just any country – it was a country in the USA’s backyard where China and Russia had built up a lot of capability and which has the world’s largest oil reserves – high strategic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The troika will still have harsh rhetoric towards each other that is just hot air, and then give each other a pinch where they get away with it to maintain the myth of a great threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of this together allows them to go to the voters in each country and proclaim war laws and sacrifices that give them greater power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the midst of all this stands the EU, and what you are now seeing from Trump is an attempt to bully the EU into silence. It is truly transparent, and Europe has gradually begun to realize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it doesn’t end there – the USA has initiated a major build-up of capabilities in Europe and MENA, which should mean further efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobel Peace Prize, peace president, and the constant “I want to end the war in Ukraine and FREED” from Trump vs. starting new wars in parallel certainly chips away at credibility a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FIFA Peace Prize apparently means nothing, hypocrites…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump’s negotiations about Ukraine are war tactics, and he’s playing on Team Red – that’s how it stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Probably it will be Iran that will be targeted, and the citizens there seem ready to get rid of the Islamist rule of the mullahs – that’s good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the USA should obviously stay out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No sitting dictator or other elected official can survive a full popular uprising – the citizens can handle this themselves as long as they feel they have the support of the international community, even though all revolutions have a third party backing them up in secret. A bit like short sellers in the stock market – if the sitting regime is so hated, it’s easy to bring them down by pulling a few strings, and there’s always someone who wants you gone. Vultures are also an important part of the ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reason it failed in Belarus was that Russia sent in massive internal troops that quashed the people’s celebration, and the same happened in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Venezuela, Maduro had Wagner, Hezbollah, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and many other guns for hire, so one could argue that the USA intervened when everyone else was already there. BUT it wasn’t for democracy and light that Trump kidnapped Maduro, it was to be able to plunder Venezuela for oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have to hold two thoughts in your head at the same time, and that’s what the scripture says happened – amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing we have also predicted is that the USA will make various moves that are good for them and not so good for all their Western allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have done everything they can that is good for Russia while at the same time undermining us in Europe, which is absolutely astonishing, but they have also bowed to China with the tariffs where we got a worse deal and more threats than they did, I remember, don’t remember all the twists if I’m honest, and then all the smoke laid to confuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Probably the recession will come in 2026, and China, Russia, the USA will try to push it over to Europe with a Russian black swan – that’s how I think they reason because anything else would be a dereliction of duty when Europe has shown itself to have great difficulty in parrying and making counter moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now it seems that the Russian operation to turn off the lights in Europe has started at least, and it’s easy to understand why they started with Germany because Merz has become an angry German chancellor who is now casting glances eastward.<\/p>\n\n\n
When did left-wing extremists last sabotage electricity infrastructure in Europe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Blaming Russia for the snowstorm might be a stretch, but the power outages conveniently occurred just as it got colder and snowier. I’ve suspected major IT issues in the background while dealing with all my rescheduling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our European leaders are elected with not-so-strong mandates and an opposition always ready to stab them in the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russia has paid politicians, parties, and extremist groups that they activate at the right moments, and they threaten and do not hesitate to commit murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Employees at Belgian Euroclear were threatened not to release the frozen Russian funds to Ukraine – it was so sensitive to Russia that they increased the pressure, and the arrogant Belgians caved in immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even Belgian politicians folded like a house of cards, and I think there should actually be a post-discussion because Russia threatened that a country in the EU sabotaged an important decision by going after individuals in the country directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like the scenario I often talk about where gangs in Sweden could act for payment from Russia, or where your partner receives direct payments into their newly established company, a million per lecture once a month, and the Tax Agency only cares that you pay taxes, then everyone is happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So right I was, again… \ud83d\ude36<\/p>\n\n\n\n All politicians, key personnel, and important officials have a family, children, a house, and quite a few would probably feel that 10 million SEK would be a big boost even after the Tax Agency has taken its share – that’s how Russia has managed to lock us in for almost four years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Belgium doing Russia’s bidding is very worrying, but no one likes a hairy Belgian, that’s an old saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump is also trying to bully us into silence \u2013 this time it’s Macron who’s taking a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trump is part of Russia’s influence operation against Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, despite all this, several leaders in Europe have now found their inner Viking \u2013 Merz recently came out in a way only a German can and promised that Europe will rise. Let’s pray to the gods that he means it in the right way because Germany has a long tradition of suddenly capsizing and starting to consider how to execute as many people as possible with new untested technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Macron has seriously upset Trump, so he’s probably doing the right thing too, it might have something to do with the truce with his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Vikings in the north already had their inner Viking in place and they collaborate with all others who have found their inner Viking, and we are right on track \u2013 Sweden, Finland, and Denmark are leading the way as Vikings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My conclusion is that Trump will increase his efforts against us to try to pacify us, Greenland is a suitable example, if he can start a big fight over Greenland, it will shift the focus from Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More trade wars, he’s threatening Macron with more trade tariffs anyway?<\/p>\n\n\n\n And direct attacks on politicians like Starmer, Macron, and Merz?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that troika has just signed a very tough agreement with Zelensky, so that should be interesting \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you, like me, have been following this, you’ll remember how Trump accused us of not doing enough for Ukraine and that we should pay for our own weapons. Now that we are doing it, he’s even more upset, which says everything you need to know about his loyalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s a lot happening right now, so the war in Ukraine is almost fading into the background, but for the observant, Ukraine continues its series of counteroffensives and it’s going extremely well \u2013 the war is won unless Europe allows itself to be talked out of it. Show me who can push back against a German who has found his inner Prussian together with a Frenchman with a Napoleon complex and a Japanese person sniffing out national revival and sharpening samurai swords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a big worry cloud in my otherwise gray, rain-laden sky \u2013 that Europe chooses the easy way out and takes Africa in exchange for leaving the USA, China, and Russia alone. I’m not sure if that option exists, but it would make everything much easier for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Easier but not right, then we would also have become a Sith, and right now the world needs a force for good as the dark side grows stronger. Europe is currently the rebel base on Hoth, and Macron’s wife is a Hoth wampa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A conclusion, not entirely clear to me, has struck me like lightning, and that is that the problems we have in Europe are also the guarantee that we will not turn into a full dictatorship \u2013 fragile democracy is the last barrier against dictatorship, and we’ll see if the dams hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Iran is otherwise very exciting because it’s starting to gain momentum seriously, and transport flights from Russia and China are landing in a streamlined manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
