NYT, WaPo learned of the secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin but held off publishing what they had at the administration's request to avoid endangering US troops. -Semafor

🇷🇺It is interesting to see with what they will be assaulting at the end of 2026

Tucker Carlson:

Maduro—whatever his many faults—has the most socially conservative country probably in the hemisphere.

Venezuela has banned pornography, banned abortion, banned gay marriage, banned sex changes, and banned usury.

You don’t have credit cards with 40% interest in Venezuela.

"Who gives a shit?" I do. I've got kids.

🇷🇺Olympic-level cope

Free MANPADS!!

Happy 40th Birthday, Champ

Damn, it was only a matter of time

🇷🇺🇺🇦Over a two-year period on the Pokrovsk axis, Russian forces lost an amount of armored vehicles and tanks equivalent to at least five divisions — more than 1,000 armored vehicles / infantry fighting vehicles / armored personnel carriers, and over 500 tanks — according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).

🪦 After subsequently shifting tactics in favor of infantry assault groups, during October of last year alone, while capturing approximately 30 square kilometers in the Pokrovsk area, Russian forces reportedly lost up to 25,000 troops (killed and seriously wounded combined).

Honestly, I am reluctant to glaze Donnie, but after the Vuvuzuela SMO this seems even more ridiculous now than it was. Pointless, absolutely pointless war.

🇬🇧Early today, outside the US embassy in London protesters demanding the release of the Venezuelan president

🇷🇺🇻🇪 "We have taken another hit to our own image. Another country that relied on Russia for its hopes has been left without help."

"We are so deeply stuck in Ukraine's bloody quagmire that we can practically do nothing, let alone help Venezuela, which is located in the other hemisphere of the Earth, neighboring the USA."

-writes Igor Girkin, former military leader of the Donbas Russian separatists and currently a political prisoner of Putin.

Buenos Aires celebrating Maduro's downfall 🇦🇷🇻🇪

Fascinating to watch large swathes of Latin America celebrate the overthrow of Maduro while champagne pseudo-socialists in Europe and US lament it

🇺🇸 ⛓️ 🇻🇪 While most of the latin world celebrates Maduro’s capture, American communists are demanding his release.

This is what Maduro did to his people in 2019.

He had opposition protesters run over by armored military vehicles.

But maybe they don’t know.
