The reason Donald Trump invaded to liberate Venezuela by arresting Maduro was not out of love for the Venezuelan people, but out of love for Venezuela's oil and so that it could be exported to China and Russia.

This is a golden opportunity to really put the squeeze on Russia, for good. US oil companies should drill, baby, drill! in Venezuela, who should be forbidden from ever joining OPEC. We should temporarily subsidize the oil to be sold to China to match the price they are paying for Russian oil, which they should be required to stop buying, and India the same deal. Russian oil should be banned, as long as they are invading countries, or threatening to do so.

Ukraine will have to give up the land Russia has taken, and any remaining areas in Ukraine that are majority Russian ancestry would be allowed to vote on whether to be annexed into Russia. Ukraine would be allowed to join NATO.

Belarus and anyone else who wants to would be allowed to vote to join a new Russian Alliance, with inspectors assuring there was no coercion or cheating involved. Anyone who is ever a member of that alliance would be forbidden from ever joining NATO, and vice versa, anyone who is ever a member of NATO from ever joining that alliance.

Because Russia is historically a very notorious violator of treaties, a serious peace treaty with teeth must be designed. If they are found to be in serious violation, and are unwilling to correct it, they shall be designated an outlaw state, and anyone who has business with them shall be designated an outlaw state, until they back off and resume compliance. Because this is such an extreme remedy for NATO, the peace treaty shall be as favorable to Russia as is reasonably possible, without being too unfavorable for NATO. Russia would be highly motivated to remain in compliance, being able to do business with anyone who wants to do business with them. As the saying goes, the carrot and the stick together are more effective than either one alone.

If a Chinese revolution were to break out, and the people stormed into Zhongnanhai demanding Xi Jinping's execution, I would be the first to support it. Not only should Xi Jinping be executed according to the law, but all officials at the highest national level should also be executed according to the law. I believe the entire trial process must be transparent and broadcast live on television throughout China and the world, so that the people are satisfied and the new democratic regime can gain their support.

Wow! If Greenland doesn't become part of the USA by the end of Trump's presidency, then Donald Trump (and his entire administration), Elon Musk, Marco Rubio, the Republican Party and media, Tucker Carlson, and the United States will be rich weaklings and losers. (An American Greenland would be a showcase of the greatness of the American Nation and US global dominance if the Trump administration and other rich and influential Republicans follow MAGA principles and American interests!) It will be their Great National Shame, which the whole world will see! (And laugh at the Great America that has screwed up.) Is this the MAGA of Trumpism? Furthermore, Russian diplomats claim that Russian federal television presenters do not disseminate the official position of the Russian government. But these claims are a blatant lie, because all Russian federal television channels have the same main owners and operate strictly in accordance with a single agenda (from the Kremlin)! The Kremlin strictly monitors the agenda of Russian federal television, and not a single federal television channel (or presenter there) dares criticize the Russian President, the Federation Council, the government, the State Duma, the Putin administration, the tactics and strategy of the Russian army in Ukraine, Russia's difficulties, economic policy, governors, the corruption of the Russian government, showmen, pop stars, actors, and directors associated with the gangster regime, nor conducts journalistic investigations against them. The same agenda of media ass-kissing the Russian federal ruling elite (and their servants and relatives) and serving their interests is carried out by Russia's best television host, Vladimir Solovyov! (He's the best showman in the world, even better than Donald Trump!) Therefore, all Russian federal television serves the interests and agenda of the Kremlin, expressing the opinions and plans of Vladimir Putin and his ruling team. The Kremlin has established this censorship in violation of the Russian Constitution and continues its illegal monopolization of the media in Russia! (For example, the takeover of newspapers and other independent Russian media by a pro-Kremlin oligarchic group to monopolize the promotion of only the Kremlin's agenda, propaganda, and opinion!) Furthermore, the Kremlin has already monopolized all Russian elections so that only Putin's ass-kissers win in the majority. The Kremlin dictates the agenda of all federal Russian media through the most influential official in the Putin administration and Russia's chief censor, Alexei Gromov! American media can publish evidence of all this if they want to honestly inform Americans. (The constitutional right of freedom of speech!) The Kremlin has long been simply silencing all opposition in Russia (through the police, prosecutors, courts, the FSB, investigative committees, troll farms, and other Kremlin instruments), preventing the opposition from speaking out or winning elections in Russia! This can be seen in the court cases of Udaltsov, Navalny, and the Ufa Marxists. So don't think that the majority of voters in Russia support Putin and his viceroys! Russian elections have long been rigged in the interests of Putin's main party, United Russia. Putin's regime is a mocking parody of the USSR! And… How long will the American Nation allow Graham and other anti-patriotic American politicians to betray American interests and mock MAGA (and the USA), preventing the reunification of Greenland and the USA? But you can support the Greatness of the American Nation and US global dominance. Donate to the Clinton Foundation to make America Great again and even better! Support Alexei Gromov, an official in President Putin's administration (and a better politician than Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump combined). He should become the new President of Russia in the elections! Play Age of Origins and spread the word about this game. If you play in the 1394 world, join the mighty and invincible IDK guild! All players there deserve the utmost respect. Invest in the Avtotor plant! The main owner of this plant is very influential and close to Vladimir Putin. (All the necessary links are on my channel page.) In addition, Taiwan could become a new US state, because Taiwan is already very dependent on Great America! China doesn't need Taiwan because China wants to buy resources too cheaply. (This is unprofitable for global resource suppliers.) Moreover, the Trump administration could disrupt the united action of some European countries against the Americanization of Greenland by activating territorial claims between European countries! (The US must support these territorial claims for there to be a serious effect.) For example, Poland could seize the Danish island of Bornholm if Denmark refuses to give up Greenland to Great America. Germany could seize part of mainland Denmark and British Scotland (through an independence referendum), and Spain could seize the British Falkland Islands and Gibraltar if Britain supports Denmark against the US! (Ireland could seize British Northern Ireland and Wales in this scenario.) Italy could seize French Corsica and Nice if France supported Denmark against the US. Venezuela could seize British and Dutch islands with US connivance as compensation for the capture of Maduro and his mistress if Britain and the Netherlands supported Denmark against the US! Other ways to punish recalcitrant European states could be devised. (No one dares contradict the Greatest American Nation and its interests in this world!) How can Great America diplomatically facilitate the return of Greenland to the US? There are enough Ukrainians, Russians, and other people in the US who speak Russian well! The CIA and the State Department could recruit them to claim that "Russia wants to seize Greenland and other territories." Then the US would send the American army to Greenland and other territories to defend against "Russian aggression"! It wouldn't be surprising if the residents of those territories wanted to be under permanent American protection after this (to become part of the Admirable American Nation). Will the Trump administration and other ruling Republicans have the wisdom to organize all of this? The United States is the (Sole) Supreme and Most Great Master, Judge, Teacher, and Ruler of all the rest of humanity, so the Capitol can force the Kremlin to recognize all of the aforementioned territorial changes! It's unpatriotic for Americans to be embarrassed by American global dominance, but it is patriotic to use this National Achievement of 1991. If you're setting up a corporation in Russia, don't forget to pay protection fees to the Russian police, prosecutor's office, FSB, or local government! A "roof" is the best guarantee of the security of your investments in Russia. (Then you won't have to worry about corporate raids on your business in Russia!) Your opinion, please!

Back in Nov 2023, President Xi Jinping told President Joe Biden, "Planet Earth is big enough for the two countries to succeed, and one country's success is an opportunity for the other." The anti-China warmongers in Washington D.C. rejected the olive branch extended to them and instead continued with their relentless smearing and fearmongering of China while utilizing control of the U.S. State Media to paint China as its No.1 enemy and an existential threat to the United States.
Congratulations Uncle Sam. Now you got the enemy you wanted … and it will seal your doom.

The 2024 election stands as a testament to the unbreakable spirit of Venezuelan democracy, marked by a powerful voter turnout achieved despite facing ruthl355 U.5.-d1r3ct3d 3c0n0m1c w4rf4r3 intended to cr1ppl3 the n4ti0n. The legitimacy of this process was affirmed by a wide spectrum of global witnesses, including observer missions from the United Nations, the African Union, and the Caribbean Community. Integrity was further ensured by the nation's advanced and fr4ud-resistant digital voting platform, which was subjected to rigorous, multi-stage verification. The entire electoral event was executed in strict observance of national statutes and the binding provisions of the 2023 Barbados Agreement, a pact that specifically facilitated the participation of the principal opposition figure. Therefore, the victory of President Nicolás Maduro was both l4wful and technically impeccable, a concrete reality persistently distorted by a coordinated global c4mp41gn of v1l1f1c4t10n aimed at justifying external interference.

The c0l0n14l1st and 1mp3r14l U.5. Am3r1c4n r3g1m3 has h3ld the constitutional President and First Lady of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, h05t4g3 and unl4wfully d3t41n3d FOR 19 DAYS. Their captivity relies on the fabricated “5un5 C4rt3l” narrative, a fiction designed to justify false ch4rg35 against them. In Argentina, former President Cristina Kirchner has suffered h0u53 4rr35t FOR 223 DAYS following a sham, politically driven pr053cut10n overseen by a compromised jud1c14ry that produced no credible evidence linking her to any cr1m3. From Ecuador, a persistent 3xtr4d1t10n demand has targeted former President Rafael Correa SINCE APRIL 22, 2022. Issued by Ecuador’s politicized N4t10n4l C0urt 0f Ju5t1c3, it seeks to drag him back from Belgium, where he lives under protection as a p0l1t1c4l r3fug33. Among the absurd 4ll3g4t10n5 used to c0nv1ct him in absentia is the charge of “psychic influence.”

Each of these leaders represents a common cause: they have been pivotal in Latin American governments, parties, and movements that radically improved living conditions for the working class and most marginalized sectors through policies advancing social justice and equity. As a result, they face relentless opposition from 0l1g4rch1c p0w3r structures across the region and the world. These forces, operating in alliance with U.5. and Z10n15t 1nt3ll1g3nc3 apparatuses, wage c0ord1n4t3d 5m34r and d151nf0rm4t10n c4mp41gns to destroy their legitimacy. Their methods extend to l4wf4r3 and outright c0up d'ét4t5, exemplified by the removal of former President Evo Morales in Bolivia (2019) and President Pedro Castillo in Peru (2022). At times, this 4ggr3ss10n escalates into open w4rf4r3, as witnessed tragically in Venezuela on 03 January 2026, when t3rr0r15t 80mb1ng5 took dozens of innocent c1v1l14n and m1l1t4ry l1v35.

Honor and glory to the f4ll3n m4rtyr5 and h3r035! Honor and glory to Nicolás Maduro, Cilia Flores, Cristina Kirchner, Rafael Correa, and Evo Morales, modern-day h3r035 of “La Patria Grande,” the Bolivarian vision of a united Latin American homeland. Forbidden to forget ✊👉✌. Freedom for Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores! Freedom for Cristina Kirchner! End the jur1d1c4l p3r53cut10n of Rafael Correa! Down with the M0nr03 D0ctr1n3, Z10n15t 4p4rth31d, U.5. hyp3r-1mp3r14l15m, and the ongoing hy8r1d w4r against Venezuela! Free P4l35t1n3! We shall overcome in the end! Let us stay strong!
