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), […]
Bolivia is facing one of the most severe political and social crises in its recent history as widespread protests, road blockades, and violent clashes continue to paralyze the country less than six months after President Rodrigo Paz took office. The unrest has effectively placed the nation’s political capital, La Paz, […]
Revealing a steely yet erratic contempt of the law, the US Department of Justice is showing, again, how it became the spear carrier for kooky ideas and vengeful projects. No leader is seemingly safe from an indictment if the personal interest of President Donald Trump is invested. It need not […]
The United States has dramatically intensified its confrontation with Cuba by filing criminal charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro, marking one of the most serious escalations in relations between the two countries in decades.

With the United Arab Emirates, membership of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has not been without its troubles, not helped by the increasingly snarky relationship it shares with the group’s de […]

The article says much about Kagan’s own identification with the […]
The waxwork figures of the Pentagon recently glowed with excitement with the announcement that the US military would be finally called upon to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. With the ceasefire between Teheran and Washington barely holding, President Donald Trump, as far as his attention span would allow, gingerly put […]
