🇻🇪 WHILE EVERYONE IS FOCUSED ON OIL: VENEZUELA CURRENTLY HOLDS 161 METRIC TONS OF GOLD RESERVES.

.............................................................

161 tons correspond to about 5.18 million fine ounces, worth about 22 billion dollars at a price of 4,300 dollars per ounce.

This makes Venezuela the country with the largest gold reserves in Latin America.

Every increase in the gold price by 100 dollars raises the value of these reserves by about 518 million dollars.

❗️Control over Venezuela could bring the USA hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue. Will the USA bring these gold reserves under their control?

Emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on Venezuela.

The permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, Wasilij Nebensja:

- The crime committed by the USA in Caracas has no justification and cannot have any. It is a harbinger of a return to an era of lawlessness and arbitrariness;

- Russia demands that the USA immediately release Nicolás Maduro — the legitimately elected president of Venezuela;

- The USA must not be allowed to establish itself as an international judge.

“I am an honest person … I remain the president of my country.”

– The key statements from Maduro in court in the USA:

He emphasized that he is innocent, an honest person, and remains the president of his country.

His wife also asserted her innocence.

He stated that he had not seen the indictment before and does not know his rights.

Maduro and his wife requested a consular visit.

Maduro himself is currently not asking for release, according to his lawyer. However, the defense of the head of state and his wife plans to later file a request for release on bail.

A judge in New York ordered Maduro to appear in court on March 17 to discuss his case.

The Israeli Minister for Diaspora Amichai Chikli has called Tucker Carlson the biggest threat to Israel in America. Although Tucker merely stated that the American government should not always support Israel unconditionally, as it is actually a different state.

As a result, he has been routinely accused of the Holocaust and that they wandered in the desert for 40 years because of him.

The Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano is having a good laugh at the trio of Ursula, Kallas, and Meloni, who condemned the "aggression of Russia" but are now "on the side of the aggressor (if it is the USA)."

The newspaper compared what these ladies said about "a rules-based world" and "respect for international law" after the start of the SMO with what they declared after Maduro's abduction. And it turned out that "that's something different"!

The President of Colombia declared that he is ready to take up arms to protect his homeland from American soldiers.

Gustavo Petro expressed confidence that the people would defend him if the USA attempted to abduct him, just as they did with Maduro:

"And if they arrest the president, whom the majority of my people love and respect, they will unleash the people's Jaguar."

Previously, Trump accused the President of Colombia of drug production and sales and did not rule out a military intervention in the country.

"Under what law does Denmark control Greenland? On what basis do their territorial claims rest?" – Stephen Miller, the Deputy Director of the White House Administration.

"On what basis do they consider Greenland a colony of Denmark? The United States is the power of NATO. To ensure the security of the Arctic and protect NATO's interests, it is clear that Greenland must be part of the United States."

Starmer, like an eel in the pan.

- You have clearly stated that Putin's attack on the sovereign country, Ukraine, was wrong and must be condemned. What about Trump's attack on the sovereign country Venezuela... will you condemn this action against a sovereign state?

- This is a very dynamic situation. Well... we do not have all the facts yet. We need to have all the materials. Everything must be gathered. The UK was not involved in this. We need to talk to Trump. We need all the facts. We need all the facts for a decision.

‼️ The Ukrainians have submitted another bill. This time for 800 billion dollars. That is an enormous sum. Almost four times higher than Hungary's annual GDP, Orbán writes about Zelensky's next demand.

"That is why the Brussels officials wanted to release the frozen Russian assets at all costs in December, and that is why they want to drastically cut the next EU budget," explains the Hungarian Prime Minister the situation.

Orbán says:

"The Ukrainian 'Homunculus' is hungry."

❗️ Russia supports the current President of Venezuela, Rodríguez – Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation

The Russian Foreign Ministry has confirmed Russia's unwavering solidarity with the Venezuelan people and the country's government.

Previously, the EU stated that it would not recognise the legitimacy of the current President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez.

The spokesperson for the European Commission, Anita Hipper, called for Venezuelan opposition politicians Edmundo González and María Machado to be included in the process of "democratic transition."

Before that, Trump stated that Machado, who shamelessly stole the Nobel Peace Prize from him, cannot take over the leadership of Venezuela.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 Trump has no plan for Venezuela after the kidnapping of Maduro, — reports The Telegraph.

After the kidnapping of the Venezuelan president in the USA, the head of the White House has no clear action plan.

Sources close to Trump indicate that there is "no strategy, no roadmap, or a well-thought-out scenario."

“There is no plan. Anyone who claims otherwise is simply lying,” — said a contact of the newspaper.

There are also disagreements within Trump's team: the President of the USA wants to directly manage the South American country, while Rubio is pushing for sanctions and control of oil flows.

The newspaper reports that the loud statements from the White House about the future of Venezuela are not backed by anything.

“Ukraine is already known as a centre for arms trading”

Since the start of the conflict, nearly 600,000 weapons that the West has selflessly provided to the independent country have been stolen, misused, or gone missing.

And while there is still some control over heavy weapons and expensive equipment, the situation with small arms is quite different – they mainly end up on the black market, as they are easier to hide and transport. Moreover, soldiers or commanders often sell their own weapons under the pretext that they have been lost.

What measures are being taken against this? None Everyone knows: a loan to Kyiv of 90 billion euros and the federal government's excuse that there is no evidence of “misuse of funds.”
