U.S. Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez:

What's left of the Cartel of the Suns regime in Venezuela is bragging with fart-filled speeches — ignore them. It's pure theater.

Delcy, Jorge, Diosdado, and Padrino López know they don't have much time left.

Their fates could end up being much worse than those of Nicolás and Cilia.

Russia's Medvedev:

Team Trump is tough and cynical in advancing its country’s interests. Removing Maduro had nothing to do with drugs – only oil, and they openly admit this.

Lex fortissimum is clearly stronger than ordinary justice, but whether they can run Venezuela remotely is a big question.

Trump to the Atlantic:

If Delcy Rodríguez doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.

Trump to the Atlantic:

We do need Greenland, absolutely.

[Greenland is] surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships.

We need it for defense.

Trump to the Atlantic:

You know, rebuilding there (Venezuela) and regime change, anything you want to call it, is better than what you have right now. Can’t get any worse.

Trump on Venezuela:

The country’s gone to hell. It’s a failed country. It’s a totally failed country. It’s a country that’s a disaster in every way.

Israeli Journalist Hallel Bitton Rosen:

Israel and the United States have a very clear interest in overthrowing or changing the regime in Iran.

So I think Venezuela is the last rehearsal before Iran.

Ukraine seeks peace. But Ukraine will not give its strength to anyone.

Germany’s foreign intelligence service (BND) secretly monitored phone calls of U.S. President Barack Obama for several years, intercepting communications from Air Force One.

The surveillance ended in 2014 and was not authorized by Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The BND exploited weak aircraft encryption, kept transcripts tightly restricted, and destroyed them after use.

It remains unclear when the spying began or who in the Chancellery knew about it.

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.

Some protesters in Ilam, Iran are now armed with guns.

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.

Gabriel Boric, President of Chile:

Today it’s Venezuela; tomorrow it could be anyone else.

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.

Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson:

It is only Denmark and Greenland that have the right to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland.

Sweden fully stands up for our neighboring country.

Greece’s Civil Aviation Authority said Athens FIR suffered mass interference across almost all frequencies.

The incident was called “unprecedented” in scale.

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.

Venezuelans are now counting the days since Nicolás Maduro’s capture by U.S. forces.

“01 day has passed since their KIDNAPPING.”
