Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [342]

About that tanker....the first details are in:

Moscow/Washington - New, shocking details have emerged in the case of the tanker "Marinera" (formerly "Bella 1" until December 23, 2025), seized by the US in the North Atlantic. It appears that the ship had been operating for four years, financing terrorists worldwide on behalf of Iran - and has long been owned by a Russian national in Moscow....

It looks the democratic transition has already begun...

Venezuela will release a "significant number" of Venezuelans and foreigners imprisoned in the country, said Jorge Rodríguez, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, on Thursday.
...
The releases, a repeated demand of the country's opposition, are a gesture of peace, Rodríguez said....

But, maybe I'm a retard.

Not more than I am one, heh:)

Thing is Putin is a trained secret agent, he made a career in foreign espionage (focus Germany)....his take on things is so much different from yours or mine or Trumps...he sees things differently, plans and acts differently....

My personal take on him is that he never, ever got over the end of the Sovietunion. You don't become an officer in the KGB accidentally...you believe in that whole thing with heart and soul. He never made his peace with the Russia that came afterwards.

IMHO "bad NATO" is as much as a lie as was "them Nazis in Kiev".....yes, he wants the old borders back and with that a strong central government where opposition is hardly possible...as in the good 'ol times!

You think Putin truly has global plans...like he's planning to resurrect the soviet empire?

Did you guys read the report that Khamenei has made contingency plans to flee to Moscow,

Yup....here...*waves wildly*

The BILD reported early....at that it was still unclear where Maduro was, so people speculated that Moscow might become abit "cramped" with Assad, Maduro and later maybe also Khamenei living there, heh:)

"Dictators united!"...but on the other hand it doesn't look good for Putin's global plans...his "dominoes" at risk or already fallen....

you have to find some symmetrical situation where America is doing something on the sly and doesn't want to be caught.

Thing is, "sly" is not a word I would connect Trump with...but I might be totally wrong here...maybe Venezuela was/is still a huge red herring....who knows....

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [501]

There are no sanctions on Venezuela, the US and a few others have instituted an economic blockade on that country.

Nah....thats just not true! There have been ongoing sanctions since 2017, as the scope of the ongoing human rights abuses by the Maduro regime became known!

During the crisis in Venezuela, the European Union (E.U.), Canada, Mexico, Panama and Switzerlandapplied sanctions against specific Venezuelan government entities and individuals associated with the administration of Nicolás Maduro, along with sanctions applied by the United States. As of 3 March 2025, the Atlantic Council's sanctions tracker listed 209 individuals with links to Venezuela sanctioned by the U.S., 123 by Canada, and 69 by the European Union.[1

What you are saying is insane.

As I said before, you have no idea what life under a dictatorship is like, Bobko....

Btw. that Germany that you so admire was the US colony part! Thanks to being the US colony part!

Why no talk about the eastern part? That part "liberated" and "free" of the US imperialism, huh?

Have some pride man.

I want the best for my country, you definitely NOT!

There is too much going on in parallel,

In my strictly personal opinion the Mullahs in Teheran are about the next dominoe to fall, in this actual global game...

One should always have an eye on the events there!

Mullahs must go!:

Iranians are now calling for this king

bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/weg-mit-den-mullahs-nach-diesem-koenig-rufen-jetzt-die-iraner-695d50a2e0f90a884bc5df97

Tehran/Washington - Is the mullah regime in Iran faltering? Protests across the country are spreading, and hopes for a coup are growing! Images of burning government buildings are circulating around the world, showing street battles and chanting insults against the radical Islamist regime.

"Death to the dictator!" the demonstrators repeatedly shout, and: "Javid Shah!" - "Long live the Shah!" They are referring to the son of the last Shah, Reza Pahlavi (65).....

The former "unholy trinity" Venezuela-Iran-Russia....each supporting each other, needing each other....the first has already fallen...Iran next? What then of Russia?

Putin will have to just swallow the insult, and continue business as usual.

.....I'm somewhat sure he will do more than only passively swallowing some insult...he is a rare leader who is actually schooled and trained in that "game"!

Just passively sitting and reacting to anything Trump does isn't going to help him...I wonder what his next planned move will be!

Maybe it was equipment, necessary to make an American operation like the one that took place more difficult?

Could it be....just loud thinking....maybe a nuke??? (Or important parts to build one)

What else needs nowadays still such a bruhaha...

Something important to the orcs.

...very important and needed to kept secret!!!

Massacre near Pokrovsk: US missile surprises Russian convoy

Ukrainian long-range drones have set fire to several Russian oil storage facilities in the Belgorod and Lipetsk regions in recent hours. At the same time, the Ukrainian army had a lucky break, unexpectedly destroying a Chinese-Belarusian Polonets multiple rocket launcher instead of a Russian S-300 system.

Very dodgy and interesting what's onboard.

That is a soap opera in the making:

BILD exclusive: Putin's tanker was en route for the mullahs' military

USA board Russian ship in the North Atlantic ++ New documents reveal explosive details

bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/putins-tanker-war-wohl-fuer-iranisches-militaer-unterwegs-695e987bdf37c2b4e268ce1a

.....After the tanker attempted to break a US naval blockade against Venezuela on December 21 and initially evaded a boarding attempt, alarm bells appear to have been ringing in Moscow.

For two weeks, the tanker disappeared from radar, switched off its transponder to avoid being tracked, before reappearing in the North Atlantic on January 1 under a new name and a Russian flag - apparently en route to Russia. At the same time, the Russian Navy dispatched a submarine and two warships to intercept the tanker, presumably to escort it to Russia.

Despite the Kremlin's sudden interest in the vessel, and even before the Russian warships could reach the tanker, the US struck on Wednesday afternoon.

There will be a movie about it....I tell you!

Would that be enough to topple the regime?

It would be a "helping hand", the rest is for the iranian people to achieve....everything more would need a bloody invasion, with uncounted victims and destruction.

The alternative would be, as always, doing absolutely nothing....only giving highly moralic declarations of some peace and human rights who nobody ever reads or cares for as the dictators keep on murdering and opressing whole peoples!

BB, are you arguing with some imaginary person or do you have reading comprehension problems?

....and since you are seemingly unable to discuss without resorting to insults I'm bowing out here!

....who knows, it might come to that, heh:)

But my bet lays with the old EU....the "wind of change" is also blowing through Brussels, And with nearly every election in the member countries those forces who acknowledge the need and will for reforms grow stronger....its just that it needs time...oh so much time...

And what those thoughts are showing to me is that he's a baddie.

Really! That is your proof that he is worse than Putin and Xi?

Well...here we have to disagree! Better a poltering loudmouth than a smiling snake....

@Paulina

Now a question of mine....if tomorrow Trump would start another Delta-Unit-Operation to remove successully and without much bloodshed the leading Mullah(s) from power in Teheran, hence supporting the rising iranian opposition, already protesting for freedom on the streets....helping them to get their country and their democracy back....what would be your thoughts in that case?

@Bratwurst Boy, so what are your thoughts about Trump threatening a military operation against democratic Colombia?

My personal opinion: Trump is an undiplomatic loudmouth, who often just speaks out what thoughts at the second flouts through his head.

But he important thing are his actions, can we please agree on that?

Putin or X for example are the complete different....both are fake smiler, especially good with cautious, long prepared lies....so, who is worse and truly more dangerous to the free world?

the only way forward would be to dismantle it and build a new one from scratch,

Thing is...we would need a vote about this....and the outcome would need to be unanimous....so...I doubt that would happen, ever!

In conclusion the change has to come from the inside....there is no other way!

Or maybe an alternative would need to be started from the outside...a new organization, maybe our confederation, set up by a few countries only first? Gaining in rivalry to the old EU? Showing that it is better? I dunno...

The potential of the EU is greater than that of Russia and is significant enough to be on par with the US.

Agreed, the EU has the potential to be one of the big global players, but for that to become it needs reforms!

The problem lies in the stubbornness and liberal elites in Germany and France, who have vested interests that hold us back.

Frankly I am not so sure they do that consciously....these big changes are coming fast, our reactions on the other hand are slow. But that error is build into our system...

If anything, we should build a new transparent and efficient organization, perhaps a Confederation of European States

I would like that very much!! :)

I'll believe it when I see it.

Agreed...a good point of view to build an opinion! Better than "maybe's" and "could be's" anyhow....

There doesn't seem to be any evidence of him being a "druglord" though.

Na ja, then he won't have anything to fear in the upcoming trial...

....In the 25-page indictment, US prosecutors laid out a case that allegedly began in 1999, when Maduro was first elected to public office, saying he, Flores, his son Nicolás Ernesto Maduro Guerra, and three others participated in a "relentless campaign of cocaine trafficking".

bbc.com/news/articles/cwyndnqqey5o

Yes, considering invading an allied country is unhinged enough for me

Screaming loudly about human rights and international law the moment the true Baddie is removed from power, but having ignored his murdering and opressing all the years before, not caring for his victims at all, that is for me unhinged and just highly mendacious and despicable, sorry!

Trump trying to gain longer term control and threatening Greenland is making USA baddie too.

Lets Trump first actually invade and start murdering greenlandian civilians with the goal to opress and impoverish them before declaring him a Baddie...then I'm with you, promised!

None... yet! But he clearly would like to,

....hmmm....lotsa wouldn't, couldn't, and maybe will do's in your post, Paulina.

For now it doesn't seem like anything changed for the Venezuelan people?

There is a strong opposition in Venezuela, its leader Mrs. Machado, just got recently the famous Peace Nobel Prize. After the removal of Maduro she openly declared to want do share said prize to Trump, to convey her gratefulness!

euronews.com/2026/01/06/venezuelas-machado-says-she-wants-to-share-nobel-peace-prize-with-trump

Additionally it seems the actual sworn in gov leader in Caracas, Mrs. Delcy Rodriguez, is pragmatic enough to offer and agree to cooperation with the US...

...But while she was quick to denounce Maduro's "kidnapping", she also called for cooperation and respectful relations with Washington. And she may just be the steady hand needed to lead the country's political transition...

france24.com/en/americas/20260106-delcy-rodriguez-profile-maduro-deputy-acting-president-venezuela

It looks like a truly peaceful return of Venezuela into the democratic world....but still without a druglord on top....without more oil for the russian war....and without another chinese foothold in Latin Amerca!

In case you haven't heard the Trump administration doesn't seem to want to stop at Venezuela

....and if it works as well?

Declaring Trump the baddie here makes only Moscow and Beijing happy, Paulina....you should keep that in mind!

Invading other countries like there's no tomorrow definitely was a Nazi thing, you could say. A Stalinist thing too, but you're not Bobko.

....and exactly how many countries did Trump already invade?

Oh, it's hard to forget considering Poland ended up in one of those "spheres of influences" against its will.

....and I'm fairly sure the Poles back then had wished someone else in the White House but Roosevelt would had fighted Moscow for them, not just accepted the russian claim....someone like...say Trump, yes? I know, the East Germans would had been grateful!

Well, it seems like you're approving of what the new baddies are doing.

Thing is, who is the Baddie here?

Why no word from you about Cuba? Using his soldiers and intelligence to keep Maduro on top In Venezuela? Maduro couldn't seemingly trust his own people with his life, his bodyguard had been all Cubans!

Why no word about Maduro himself, the llegitimate dictator and opressor of the venezolan people who sells its oil tot he russian war machine to support their war in Ukraine?

Why no word about the Chinese who additionally supported the Maduro dictatorship with Billions to gain a foothold in Latin America, to add it to their future sphere of influence?

But Trump ending all that without much bloodshed, with no civilian victims, is the big Baddie here????

Please explain!

As if the partitioning of the World into spheres of influences is a Nazi thing!

Have you forgotten that the World since 1945 was nothing else, till the coming of a new time starting 1989?

And that age ends now also....its a again new time and I as a (East)-German don't want to end up at the wrong side of the new-to-be-build-wall again! Is that so hard to understand? Is that so Nazi???

I need more than that.

Its a new age, Anti!

And your impression is the same as mine,...the world gets partitioned again, with the global big players grappling to get the biggest and tastiest morsels to secure their future.

You can do it as the EU currently....looking on gaping and awing and shocked...not prepared for anything, still wishing the old world back and to wake up from that "bad dream" or you can accept the new reality and act like it.

Gorbatschow once said so nicely in East-Berlin 1989 looking at the old commie guard:
"He who comes too late is punished by life."

He was right then, and he is right now....Trump definitely doesn't want the US to be punished later because of his inactivity now!

Based on this post alone, I doubt they want me there.

.....and here come the many read NDE experiences into play....it WILL be different. Surely, your inherited, teached beliefs will play a role at first, probably to smooth the transition, but in the end its all so much bigger than we can imagine, I'm fairly convinced of this....so many people can't be all liars, why should they!
