Venezuela, Silver And Greenland: How The U.S.-China Power Split Is Reshaping the World
Submitted by Thomas Kolbe
America's intervention in Venezuela is just days old, and the world seems unable to settle. The heated debate over Greenland's future overshadows the main thread of a new world order emerging—one that is being decided between the U.S. and China. Europe, for now, is relegated to the role of a progressively anxious bystander.
In recent weeks, much speculation has surrounded the background and consequences of the U.S. intervention in Venezuela on January 3. On the surface, political commentators and mainstream media focus largely on Venezuelan heavy oil's role and future. And they are right: if the U.S. manages to revive the mostly idle capacities via its domestic production industry—especially through firms like Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Exxon—a significant geopolitical lever emerges.
This lever primarily reshapes the negotiation matrix and dynamics between Washington and ...

Oil, Dollars, Gold, & Venezuela In A Nutshell
Authored by Matthew Piepenburg via VonGreyerz.gold,
Putting any kind of bow on the current headlines to conveniently explain or “wrap up” recent events in Venezuela would be a fool's errand. The extraordinary mix, as well as polarized views, as to the personalities, policies, economics, military acumen, and even international legality of the entire saga makes consensus impossible.
Political Optics?
The operation itself, of course, has all the Hollywood features of a daring and successful military drama, which can create tailwind optics for a President.
The opposite, of course, happened for Jimmy Carter, when his April 1980 Iranian hostage rescue mission stalled tragically in the desert, along with any hope of his re-election shortly thereafter.
Political “optics,” however, are often as short and capricious as politics itself. We all remember, for example, President Bush's famous “mission accomplished” moment on the deck of the USS Abr...

The Real Watches Of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro

Separating Fact from Fiction in Nicolás Maduro's Watch Collection
On the morning of Saturday, 3 January 2026, the United States Military conducted an interagency mission to capture and arrest Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. While the long term implications are still unknown and “analysis” has fallen along partisan lines, Operation Absolute Resolve appears to be a masterclass on modern warfare and frankly an operation that only the United States Military and Intelligence Community could carry out.
The situation is still developing, however according to an in-depth brief by Chairman of The Joint Chiefs Of Staff, General “Razin” Caine, the operation was a highly coordinated effort involving more than 150 aircraft and some of the nation's most elite units, including the U.S. Army's elite Tier-1 special mission unit, officially 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, the 160th Sp...

Trump Admin Was In 'Discussions' With Venezuelan Minister Months Before Raid
The White House was conducting back-channel communications with Venezuela's hardline interior minister Diosdado Cabello months before the US operation to seize President Nicolas Maduro, and has been in communication with him since then, according to Reuters, citing multiple government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Cabello, who was Maduro's right hand and seen as Venezuela's second most powerful figure (and close aide of the late former President Hugo Chavez), was key to a 'smooth' regime change - as the 62-year-old had (and has) the power to turn the country's security services or militant ruling-party supporters he oversees to target the country's opposition. That security apparatus he controls has remained largely intact since the Jan. 3 US raid.
Cabello is named in the same U.S. drug-trafficking indictment that the Trump administration used as justification to arrest Maduro, ...
