    ​ It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression.

    ​ Simplicius, Trump Announces Full Naval Blockade of Venezuela’s “Sanctioned” Oil Exports
    It appears the Trump administration is finally preparing to escalate the Venezuelan conflict once and for all, after Trump himself had told reporters that ‘ground strikes’ would begin ‘soon’ on Venezuelan soil. Trump then jumped the shark with his announcement of a full-scale naval blockade of Venezuela’s oil tankers in the most pompous way befitting his usual deportment…
    ..Recently, reporters even asked Trump whether the blockade was more about “drug trafficking” or actually “oil”, with Trump implying that it’s about all of those things combined and more, essentially giving up the imperialist plot in one fell swoop…
    ..Trump has doubled down on his latest narrative motif, accusing Venezuela of “stealing” US’s oil…
    ​..What “stolen” oil is Trump talking about?
    On February 28, 2007, Hugo Chavez, the then-president of Venezuela, signed a law on the nationalization of oil fields.
    ​ All foreign companies operating in the country were offered to join joint ventures, in which at least 60% of the shares would belong to the state-owned company PDVSA.​..
    ​..According to some data, the amount of investments of the aforementioned companies in the subsequently nationalized assets amounted to at least 17 billion dollars.​ Some of the claims of foreign oil companies were later satisfied by the Venezuelan authorities through direct monetary compensation.​ But not all of them, and the issue is still not fully resolved: some firms are still demanding compensation and have cases in foreign arbitration bodies​…​
    ​..As an aside, an oil tanker named Hyperion reportedly belonging to Russia’s own so-called “shadow fleet” has been approaching Venezuela, with many tensely awaiting US’s actions as a litmus test of how much of a ballsy ‘hardball’ style of confrontation US will dare against Russia directly. https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/trump-announces-full-naval-blockade

    Julian Assange: Sweden Broke Own Laws With Nobel Prize to Venezuela’s Machado
    The Wikileaks founder pointed to the “ample public statements… showing that the U.S. government and María Corina Machado have exploited the authority of the prize to provide them with a casus moralis for war,” adding that the explicitly stated purpose of the war sought by Machado and her wealthy Latin American backers would be “installing her by force in order to plunder $1.7 trillion in Venezuelan oil and other resources.”
    ​ The Nobel Foundation stands accused of a number of violations of Swedish criminal law, including breach of trust, misappropriation and gross misappropriation, conspiracy, crimes against international law, as well as financing of aggression, facilitation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and breaching Sweden’s stated obligations under the Rome Statute, to which Stockholm says it is “deeply committed.”
    ​ Under Swedish law, “Alfred Nobel’s endowment for peace cannot be spent on the promotion of war,” Assange noted. “Nor can it be used as a tool in foreign military intervention. Venezuela, whatever the status of its political system, is no exception.” ​ https://scheerpost.com/2025/12/17/julian-assange-sweden-broke-own-laws-with-nobel-prize-to-venezuelas-machado/

    Beware Russia can protect the world”

    No they can’t. They have no power projection capacity, and are involved in a serious war at home. They can’t even project to POLAND because they are train-fed and the rails are different. But you’re saying Russia should be the Empire. Just swap out from us, the way Africa swapped from France to China and that worked out great.

    Pass. No Kings. “Bona na Croin” So you really were sad about Empire ending and want it to continue. Since we’re failing, you want to move the Empire and Oppression somewhere else. Think about this carefully.

    Oreshnik and Burevestnik clearly mean nothing at all. They are identical to the SatanII and all the ICBMs before them. They could always have done this. Russia is going to kick people out when they can’t even kick Poland out of Zaporozhye, or don’t wish to? That’s a mile away where Poland and France are shelling their nuclear plant.

    I’m pleased by Russia’s appearance and actions as well, but don’t lose your brains. I’m certainly glad no one else has their military capacity, because I wouldn’t trust any other nation to bear it. So consider that if you want to hand Ven 20 Oreshniks and a dozen SatanIIs. What do you think they would do with them, the nation of Drug Dealers? What do you think Iran would do? They’d nuke every private citizen they could find and you’d cheer.

    “foreign funding alone has exceeded 550 billion dollars over the past four years,”

    That’s half a TRILLION dollars, and may not be everything accounted.

    “Copper prices are near record highs with spot prices above $11,000”

    Merely use the price to open U.S. copper mines. Then tariff the other nations again. Oh wait: we can’t do that. We are uniquely bad and stupid.

    Same with “Detente’” an excellent word. We CAN have those armies. We PROBABLY have most of that technology somewhere. So why is none of it visible? As theorized by Luongo, what is the use of the present armies and hardware? “Trump” is causing it all to be blown up and removed from the chessboard, but to no functional end. It is roughly the same as if they piled it in a field and lit it on fire. It’s just gone and can War no more. The few exceptions to that is in Ukraine were real stakes are played, even if low in the modern scheme of things, as horrific as it is to say that. But if either side were serious, they’d kill 2 million men in one hour, not 3 years.

    Sit with that for a while.

    What’s happening that the U.S. does NOT have an army? You can see now IF we had that army, Congress, WEF would have made us use it. The only reason we’re not in Ukraine starting WWIII is bc the Pentagon can plausibly say “We Can’t”. That is astonishing irony of ironies, in so many ways. But what can you say when we clearly CAN produce 2M shells a day if we so much as bothered to, but after 3 years, we never bothered? Because we hate money like that? No. We have no army because then Congress, bunch of traitorous sellouts, can’t make us fight. Nor fight on behalf of Israel or Europe.

    The “Empire” then ends – the one we never wanted, didn’t vote for, opposed at every turn, and will/has collapse us.
    Of course they will gleefully dance on how we’re “Losing” when in this wrestling match we lay down on our back while after about 40 years you finally got brave enough to come over and lay on top of us so the Ref could call your victory. Wow. But I guess you win then! Gee shucks.

    C’mon. But you’re all smarter than that. I mean, clearly Sachs, Hudson, Wolff, MacGregor, Judge, Johnson, Pepe, all these guys are NOT that smart, they’re certified retards, but surely you/we are, right?
    1) Nation CAN make 2M shells a day.
    2) Nation chooses NOT to do so. Against all war, Empire and profits, local and national.
    That’s my whole argument. Discuss.

    “taking heavy losses: Colombian mercenaries fleeing Ukraine en masse”

    Armies are off the board. Iranian, Israeli, and Cartel. How you gonna have WWIII when all the shells on the surface of the earth are gone? With sticks and stones? When all your recruits in Al-Q, ISIS, are gone? Whoops! You lose. Peace it is, I guess.

    Freeman “Age of Wars Begins”. Right! It’s been just so cussed PEACEFUL around here since 2001, I totally forgot! It’s only NOW that it’s the “Age of War”. Trump is elected, International Law exists the next day. Unlike when Obama ran out of bombs. That was the time of Peace Awards.

    “Russia Deploys S-500 Missile Defense System on Combat Duty for the First Time.”

    Remember, I believe these easily hit satellites and space objects.

    “These last years, our government’s have been working on killing us”

    …Better not look into all our history since at least 1910, but definitely 1949. Who’s going to tell him? Right now is genuinely placid.

    “Who will pay the loan back when Ukraine loses the war.”

    Past tense. All loans are paid. Some are paid by the borrower, but some are paid by the lender. I suspect we’re looking at the latter.

    “​Robbing a Russian oligarch: UK to transfer €2.8bn of Abramovich’s Chelsea cash to Ukraine”

    Wasn’t Abramovich totally MI6? I can’t keep track of everything. Like EuroClear, turns out they robbed Russian PRIVATE money, that is, all the money from London Expats which Putin warned them not to suck out of Russia, collapse, not invest in the homeland, and make Europe rich because Europe will steal it. Awwwwww. And that happened, just the way Vlad warned you? Because you were all traitorous back-stabbers? Robbing your people? I’m totally sad.

    “Polish premier says US vowed military action for 1st time if Russia violates ceasefire”

    Someone has clearly been smoking too much coke on the train with Merz and Macron, because there IS no ceasefire. And never will be. If you mean, IF we have such a deal AND Russia signs it, AND we are the enforcing body – of which none of the three will ever happen – then yes, MAYBE we might do that. And if Santa Landed in my yard and asked for a fill up of carrots and milk, I MIGHT give it to him. But that’s not going to happen either.

    “‘I Inherited A Mess And I’m Fixing It’: Watch President Trump”
    Ugh! So stupid. Only takeaway was, this was the speech he WANTED to give now. This was the plan, true or not.

    “Central banks are quietly exiting US Treasury debt,”

    That seems odd, as Europe was buying it in a fury and own most of it. They vowed to pull the Treasury Nuclear Option. Go ahead! It’d be super, super funny! Sell every Treasury since it’s that, it’s US that’s stabilizing your currency from collapse right now. Also: they’re pulling the nuclear option if we don’t LITERALLY nuke Russia. Uh, no. I can’t express how retarded every word of that is. If any nuking will happen, we’re going to make sure it’s your fault and you’re blamed.

    “US firm plans 50,000-strong humanoid robot army for defense, industrial work”

    Should be relatively easy to disable them, as you can barely keep any computer running even on a good day. Anything above a toaster will fail in months and cost ten-thousands doing it. It’s hilarious watching them bankrupt themselves considering we all know how piss-poor every computer on earth works, and they know better than anyone. I’ll give you $100 if even one of the robots can work for a year.

    Should Americans Die For European Tyranny?

    Hell no

    Michael Shellenberger:

    “The EU is now in direct violation of the NATO Treaty,” which “requires member states to have free speech and free and fair elections.

    France and Germany are actively and illegally preventing political candidates from running for office for ideological reasons, namely their opposition to mass migration.

    And the Romanian high court, with the support of the European Commission, nullified election results under the thin and unproven pretext of Russian interference, after a nationalist and populist presidential candidate won.”

    The Euro=trash ‘public’ have let themselves be used as doormats since the French Revolution.

    They are now a spineless pack of quivering cowards and deserve their collective Fate at the hands of Pedo Globohomo Psychopaths.

    Europe is about to live in a Hieronymus Bosch painting crafted by the ghost of Orwell.

    CAVS-Programm: Deutschland beauftragt bis zu 876 Patria 6×6

    Germany has awarded Finland’s Patria two procurement contracts for up to 876 6×6 armored personnel carriers under the Common Armoured Vehicle System (CAVS) program. The total value exceeds €2 billion, including a firm order worth more than €1 billion, Patria said Thursday. The contracts cover four different vehicle variants, including a version equipped with the 120-millimeter NEMO turreted mortar.

    On Wednesday, the Bundestag’s budget committee had already cleared the purchase of ten troop carriers, 170 engineer transport vehicles with an option for 54 more, and 48 armored reconnaissance transporters with an option for an additional 14, for a total of €959 million. These vehicles will be fitted with the remotely operated Kongsberg RS4 weapon station. The second contract would therefore comprise up to 580 additional vehicles, including the NEMO mortar variant.

    Germany set to become by far the largest CAVS user

    Delivery of the first vehicles is scheduled to begin as early as next year. Following the transfer of technology to German production partners KNDS, Jungenthal Wehrtechnik, and Flensburger Fahrzeugbau, deliveries from domestic production are expected to start in 2027. Patria concluded the corresponding industrial agreement with the German firms in 2024, after Germany joined the CAVS program the previous year.

    In total, the Bundeswehr has identified a requirement for 4,000 Patria 6×6 vehicles to replace the aging Fuchs armored transport. That would make Germany by a wide margin the largest user within the CAVS program. To date, Sweden has ordered 435 vehicles, Latvia 256, Finland 161, and Denmark 130. No figures have yet been announced for the most recent program participants, the United Kingdom and Norway.

    Ukraine Open Thread 2025-291

    The EU just couldn’t resist it. They wanted to break the record for ‘the longest suicide note in history’. 90 billion euros “only to be paid back when Russia pays repperations to Ukraine” i.e. never. This at a time when industry is tanking, social services cut, and forecasts for global warming are reaching terrorism levels. Unfortunately they chickened out of stealing Russian funds, which would have introduced certainty into the collapse of the EU. But it’s almost assured anyway.

    Quite how these people were educated into such arrogance and idiocy is a mystery. Most of them have received part of their education in the US, so maybe it’s the same process that produced most of the dysfunctional US government system. If they could reverse the procedure, MAGA would become a fact, but no chance of that.

    ‘Most Humbling Thing I’ve Ever Seen’: Western Business Leaders ‘Terrified’ After Touring Chinese Factories

    It’s right now, not ‘down the road at some future date.’

    “Greg Jackson, head of British energy supplier Octopus, described a jaw-dropping visit to a “dark factory” churning out mobile phones with barely a human in sight. “We visited a dark factory producing some astronomical number of mobile phones,” Jackson told the outlet.

    “The process was so heavily automated that there were no workers on the manufacturing side, just a small number who were there to ensure the plant was working. You get this sense of a change, where China’s competitiveness has gone from being about government subsidies and low wages to a tremendous number of highly skilled, educated engineers who are innovating like mad.”

    Australian mining billionaire Andrew Forrest scrapped plans to build electric vehicle powertrains after witnessing China’s dominance firsthand. “We are in a global competition with China, and it’s not just EVs. And if we lose this, we do not have a future at Ford,” Forrest told The Telegraph.

    Forrest described futuristic factories where robots rise from the floor, assembling trucks with zero human involvement. “I can take you to factories [in China] now, where you’ll basically be alongside a big conveyor and the machines come out of the floor and begin to assemble parts,” the titan said. “And you’re walking alongside this conveyor, and after about 800, 900 metres, a truck drives out.

    The genocide continues this week as the Beast murders in Gaza, Lebanon, the West Bank and Syria. But you will not see any of this covered in the legacy media or spoken of by Western politicians. Yet the massacre in Bondi Beach (Australia) has been given wall to wall coverage and mass condemnation by Western politicians – as it should be. Meanwhile the Donald claims to have achieved peace in the Middle East at a time when Israel is spreading its murderous tentacles anywhere it can reach. He clearly doesn’t read The Busker.

    Picture is worth thousands of words.
    Trump excused himself from the scrutiny?

    So, the Israeli Branch of the Global Blob has determined to go all in on the Trump team, to the point of locking-in on the ojective of keeping Trump in the White House. Of course the other way to look at it is that Trump wants to be Mr Big forever and so has hitched his wagon to the Jewish Gravy Train. Pretty much the same outcomes either way, so pretty much the same thing in their essence. Bad call on their respective parts, either way, too.

    @DBS: They may not really want a third Trump term, but they are buttering him up for the renewal of the US/Israel Status of Forces Agreement feeding-trough, which runs out in 2028, and which Trump has as leverage on Israel as he meets with Bibi pretty soon.
    In the current 10 year period it gives “Israel” $34 billion, which does not at all serve legitimate US interests, as is becoming more apparent by the day.

    Yeah, buttering does work well on that Trumpian ego alright. He’s got more butterworthy nooks and crannies than a British crumpet. And working towards a third term for Trump keeps the channels of power pumping money and power all the meantime and also in the event that the Candidate dies or something and needs to be replaced.

    … working towards a third term for Trump

    Instead of hiding behind the curtain, like Obama, etc.

    BREAKING: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has just released HUNDREDS OF BOMBSHELL RUSSIAGATE DOCUMENTS proving that Barack Obama personally ordered CIA agents to manufacture false intelligence on President Trump and was actively “working with the enemy” to undermine and erode Americans’ confidence in our democracy and President Trump’s LANDSLIDE 2016 VICTORY. This was a coup attempt by Barack Hussein Obama and his cronies… As Jesse Watters said “Whatever happens to these guys is not revenge… it’s accountability. And it’s time for people to pay the price.” ARREST OBAMA NOW! https://x.com/joshhall2024/status/2001694999331680612

    Russian Oil revenues
    -> $US
    -> Used for buying Imports
    If there are no imports then there is no need of $US
    Everything for the war, is paid in Russian $ from the printing press

    The jews are central to everything. Off the charts Evil, as Gaza exposes. They mock you, and laugh as they demand your freemasonic puppet traitor class pass laws silencing you. Truth is illegal. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. I know alot of you see them as front men for a higher power, but I disagree. You have to face the madman/murderer in front of you. The immediate threat. 1 asshole at a time. ZOG is real, anyone who dismisses it, at this late stage, is delusional. You’re not voting your way out of this, Bitching and moaning won’t change a fucking thing. Evil, unconfronted, metasisizes. How many have to die before the Goyim wake up? Millions, billions? Injected, infected, gaslit daily with news, constantly being entertained as they’re being executed….how’s it gonna be?
