On June 2, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that “we now have in this hemisphere a coalition of friendly countries – over a dozen – who have aligned to work on not just the issues of security that we all have in common, […]
The sources are presented below, in a sequence of 7 articles from various news-organizations, but first here will be the SUMMARY of the events that those articles describe: Trump’s 3 January 2026 take-over of Venezuela from rule by Marxists, who were (like all Marxists) economic incompetents (since Marx’s philosophy requires that), […]
