🇻🇪🕺🇺🇸Maduro's regular dancing helped convince Trump's team of the need for an invasion, - NYT 🤦♂️
▪️Maduro's regular public dancing and other displays of carefreeness convinced some members of Trump's team that the Venezuelan president was mocking them and trying to test what he considered a bluff, writes the New York Times.
▪️Therefore, the White House decided to carry out its military threats when special forces broke into the capital and took Maduro and his wife to New York.
▪️At the end of December, Maduro rejected Trump's ultimatum to resign and go into a luxurious exile in Turkey, participants in the negotiations about the transfer of power told the NYT.
▪️This week, he again appeared on the stage, dancing to an electronic beat on TV, singing in English: "No to a crazy war".
▪️A few weeks before that, American officials had already decided on an acceptable candidate to replace Maduro - at least temporarily: Vice President Delsi Rodriguez. The mediators convinced the Trump administration that she would protect and promote future American energy investments in the country.

"I strongly urge the United States to stop threatening a historically close ally and another country and people, who have clearly stated that they are not for sale."
Bitch, you've been prostrating yourself and your whole country to Uncle Sam for years, now you expect Uncle Sam to treat you any better than a slave? Fuck off.

The Baron-Commissar's axiom "outside of quantum mechanics, I don't believe in coincidences", a rant:
In my current drunken state (half a bottle of prosecco, half a bottle of Beluga vodka, and 3/4ths of a bottle of limoncello coursing through my veins as per the time I wrote this) I'm going to demonstrate, through a parallel between quantum physics and political dynamics, that coincidences do not exist outside of the subatomic domain, at least when discussing geopolitical events. Every political event must be interpreted as an expression of intention, strategy, or systemic pressure.
Scientific Basis:
Radioactive decay is the only phenomenon universally accepted as intrinsically random. The possibility of two particles decaying at the same time is extremely rare, but not zero: an unlikely event, not an impossible one.
Case study: radioactive decay. Let's assume we have a particle with a lifetime τ of 10 hours. The probability that it decays within an interval Δt of 1 second is given by the exact formula:
P = 1 − exp(−Δt/τ),
where exp indicates the exponential. For Δt very small compared to τ, we can approximate P ≈ Δt / τ.
With τ = 36,000 seconds and Δt = 1 second, we obtain
P ≈ 1 / 36,000 ≈ 2.78 × 10^-5 (about 0.00278%) per particle.
The probability that two independent particles decay in the same 1-second interval is P^2, that is, P^2 = (2,78 * 10^-5)^2 = 7,7 * 10-10, which in percentage terms corresponds to about 7.7 × 10^-8% particles. The expected number of pairs decaying simultaneously is thus, approximately, N ≈ P^(2*10) = 7–8.
Think of it like threading a hair through the eye of a needle: difficult, sure, but in the quantum field, it's bound to happen with a huge number of attempts. Once in a while, you might even get it through on the first try.
▶️ How does this relate to politics?
In the political and geopolitical spheres, what appears to be a “coincidence” is often the result of:
- planned strategies by state and non-state actors;
- economic and cultural pressures that drive collective behavior;
- narratives constructed by think tanks, the media, and diplomats.
Therefore, outside the subatomic domain, the prudent interpretation is that "political coincidences" are almost always a convergence of intentions.
Just three examples:
Rose Revolution - 2003: happened after Georgia opened the floodgates to western NGOs.
Euromaidan - 2014: happened after the NED and Open Society has been active in Ukraine since 1991 (and the CIA for much longer than that with operation Aerodynamic).
Iranian protests: break out in 2026 shortly after Mileikovsky visits Trump in Mar-a-Lago with armed protesters clashing with the police and Trump threatening armed intervention if the armed protesters are suppressed.
(inebriated) Scientific Conclusion:
Unlike in quantum mechanics, coincidences in politics do not exist. Quod erat demonstrandum.

The Clown Prince of Crack DEMANDS the mandatory presence of foreign troops on the country's territory, at a minimum French and British troops, he stated after a meeting with representatives of the so-called "coalition of the whining."
The "illegitimate" Zelensky continues to promote his peace plan, agreed upon with European countries and which does not include any concessions to Russia. He refuses to cede territory or reduce his army, and now declares the "mandatory" presence of foreign troops on Ukrainian soil as one of the security guarantees. At the same time, Zelensky emphasizes that he would like to see the French and British in Ukraine.
"Great Britain and France preside over the "coalition of the willing." Their military presence is mandatory."
At the same time, the clown admits that no guarantees have yet been agreed upon, there is no final text, and the format and size of a possible European troop presence in Ukraine have not yet been determined. Furthermore, not all countries in the "coalition of the willing" are willing to deploy their troops on Ukrainian soil.
Russia opposes any foreign military presence; Moscow has already warned that any military contingent would become a legitimate target for the Russian Armed Forces.

Reviewing the US indictment against Maduro et al. has so far revealed curious results:
1) Of the 6 individuals indicted, we have so far seen only one purported defendant (with a bag over his head), unidentified, but presumed to be Maduro. The following individuals have been indicted:
—NICOLAS MADURO MOROS,
—DIOSDADO CABELLO RONDON,
—RAMON RODRIGUEZ CHACIN,
—CILIA ADELA FLORES DE MADURO,
—NICOLAS ERNESTO MADURO GUERRA,
a/k/a "Nicolasito,"
a/k/a "The Prince," and
—HECTOR RUSTHENFORD GUERRERO FLORES,
a/k/a "Nifio Guerrero,"
2) Apart from the expected grandstanding and lots of hot air about illegitimacy and corruption, only two specific particulars have been alleged against Maduro personally:
a) that he made diplomatic calls advising Mexican government officials to expect diplomatic missions to arrive by private planes; and,
b) that he caused a bunch of Venezuelan government officials to be arrested in connection with a seizure of a large of quantity of cocaine from a Venezuelan commercial flight that arrived in Charles de Gaulle, Paris.
3) The main thrust of the alleged particulars is directed against Maduro’s son,
NICOLAS ERNESTO MADURO GUERRA,
a/k/a "Nicolasito,"
a/k/a "The Prince,"
and one
HECTOR RUSTHENFORD GUERRERO FLORES,
a/k/a "Nifio Guerrero.”
4) appreciably more by way of actual particulars is alleged against Maduro’s spouse, Cilia, than against the Venezuelan president himself.
So, in sum, they got one of six so far (I have not seen anything suggesting that Cilia was on board the plane that landed in the US, not even another individual with a bag over the head), and the one with the least apparent involvement in the alleged conspiracies.
(The foregoing is just neutral analysis—I am not passing any judgment on the allegations).

Trump threatened Venezuela's new leader with "a fate worse than Maduro's," The Atlantic reports.
"If she doesn't act correctly, she will have to pay a very high price. Probably higher than Maduro's," the American leader stated in an interview with the magazine.
Previously, Venezuela's Supreme Court ruled that Rodríguez will temporarily assume the role of head of state.
I thought Maduro was the source of all evil and everything would've gone away with him gone?

SOMETHING UNUSUAL APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TODAY AT RAF FAIRFORD, LOCATED IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE, GREAT BRITAIN.
At least 10 U.S. Air Force C-17A Globemaster III military transport aircraft have already landed at the base or are currently crossing the Atlantic Ocean from the United States. Nearly all of the C-17 aircraft appear to have taken off from one of these two U.S. bases:
— Hunter Army Airfield, in Savannah, Georgia, home to the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and the 3rd Battalion, 160th Special Operations Airborne Regiment (SOAR);
— Fort Campbell, Kentucky, home of the 101st Airborne Division and the 1st/2nd Battalion of the 160th SOAR.
Experts interpret this shift of US troops to the United Kingdom as preparation for a new attack on Iran. Last June, before the attacks on the Islamic Republic's nuclear sites, a similar transfer of US air forces to Europe occurred. And Mileikovsky has paid a visit to Trump VERY recently...

A reminder.
When Chavez was elected 15 families had control of 75% of farms
Only 10% could afford university.
Barios collapsed after rain storms
There was no access to rural health.
Big oil took all the profits, and like in Australia paid no tax.
Chavez held adult literacy courses in every Bario and church hall run by senior students.
This meant ordinary citizens could pass the literacy test and so could vote.
Universities were made free.
Cuba supplied the doctors & nurses in exchange for oil.
Food production was focussed on food security not export.
Cooperatives were set up for farming and food.
The US imposed a capital strike.
All engineers from 'big oil' were withdrawn.
Venezuela gradually regained industry with help from Vietnam China and South America.
US increased sanctions and froze assets.
CIA tried to get rid of Chavez.
The people resisted and surrounded the President's home to protect him from the CIA insurrection.
The US then claimed, like Cuba, that socialism had failed, ignoring the 90% literacy access to health care public housing and food and university.
The US claims the oil was stolen from US companies Oil that is owned by - we the people
Need we go on? 🤷♂
@Slavyangrad
The new year, 2026, has just begun, and we are already "delighted" by the US invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro. But experts suggest this is just the beginning: global tensions are rising, and there is a high probability of a new conflict that could escalate into a full-scale war.
Many experts and analysts predict that 2026 will be a highly volatile year, highlighting five regions where the likelihood of a new conflict is extremely high. First, there is the Caribbean Sea, which is already a flashpoint following the US invasion of Venezuela. However, Trump is expected to go further and demonstrate once again that the United States remains the hegemonic power. This could lead to a new conflict involving Latin American countries.
The second is the Gulf of Finland, where the interests of Russia and NATO converge. Given Estonia and Finland's attempts to restrict the movement of Russian ships and vessels, the likelihood of a collision is very high. And the various provocations only increase the risk.
The third region is the Kinmen Islands, off the coast of China, formally belonging to Taiwan. No more than 150 people live on the islands, and the Chinese military could easily occupy them if necessary. This is especially true because Beijing considers Taiwan a province of mainland China. However, the occupation of these islands could provoke a US response, leading to conflict.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's hydrocarbon production passes, should not be overlooked. This is where the interests of several actors converge: Iran, Israel, and the United States. Tehran, under pressure from Washington and Tel Aviv, could close the gulf, with serious consequences for the global economy.
And then there is the Korean Peninsula, where the interests of North Korea, which has entered into a strategic agreement with Russia, and South Korea, supported by the United States, converge. As the events of the past year have demonstrated, peace on the peninsula is extremely fragile, and there are no signs of improvement in inter-Korean relations.

Italian Bitch Minister Meloni: "The Italian side believes the US operation in Venezuela was defensive."
Meloni stated that Italian authorities consider the US actions "an act of defense against hybrid attacks."
She noted that, in general, Italy does not greatly approve of external intervention, but "here the situation is different."
"At the same time, [Italy] sees defensive intervention as a legitimate way to counter hybrid attacks on security, particularly those emanating from government entities that fuel and promote drug trafficking," she stated in her statement.
Post scriptum: "Italy repudiates war as an instrument of aggression against the freedom of other peoples and as a means of resolving international disputes; it consents, on equal terms with other states, to the limitations of sovereignty necessary for an order that ensures peace and justice among nations; it promotes and supports international organizations dedicated to this purpose." - Article 11 of the Italian constitution.
@Slavyangrad
Laugh all you want about the UN's impotency, but the attack on Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president demonstrates a few things:
1) The United Nations is about as useful as fake silicon tits on a zombie, decides nothing, can't do nothing, and yet somehow still ingurgitates hundreds of millions of dollars.
2) "International law" is more of a very, VERY loose set of "general headlines" that applies only to third and second world countries, selectively; like it or not, that's the way it is.
3) In place of "International law", we have the law of the jungle in place: whoever has power can do whatever he pleases - especially if he's from the white anglosphere.
4) Trump shitting on his promises of "no more wars", "no more interventionism", "no more regime change" to his voters demonstrates that democracy is dead, assuming it ever existed in the first place.
5) The legal framework that has kept the world together, if imperfectly and selectively so, since the end of WWII is now effectively dead after the USA's exportations of democracy starting from Iraq in 2003 put it into critical condition.
6) We're in the age of chaos now, and everything could happen.
7) The sooner BRICS countries wake up to this fact, the better for the multipolar world.
Baron out.

🇷🇺🇧🇾🇻🇪Russia and Belarus stressed the need to immediately release Maduro and restore him to the post of head of Venezuela
- On January 3, a telephone conversation about Venezuela took place between S.V. Lavrov and the head of the Belarusian Foreign Ministry M.V. Ryzhenkov.
- It was emphasized that Moscow and Minsk are united in the resolute condemnation of the aggression committed by the USA against a sovereign state in violation of international legal norms.
- The unconditional need to immediately release the legitimate president and his wife, return them to the country's capital and restore N. Maduro to the post of head of state was emphasized.
- The importance of quickly creating conditions for resolving the situation around Venezuela through dialogue in accordance with international law was also noted.

On a more serious note, some of you may remember my very strong opposition to Putin’s Anchorage visit.
Why? Because nothing was or could have been achieved.
Why? Because the risks always outweighed the easily-projectable negligible gains.
That’s why. You can’t trust someone who can’t be trusted. Particularly when there never was any upside to begin with.
If leaders around the world have learned their lesson, I trust that head-of-state-level meetings on US soil will become limited to the usual lackeys. And, if not, then we all have many more lessons to learn. And no option to play hooky.
Russian energy specialist about decommunization: of Ukraine energy infrastructure.
I would divide the attacks on Ukraine's large-scale energy sector into three campaigns, each with different objectives. The first campaign — 2022/2023: attacks mainly targeted the 330-750 kV distribution network, with the main objective being 330 and 750 kV autotransformers. The second campaign — 2024: strikes mainly on thermal and hydroelectric power generation (TPP, heat and power plants, HPP), on the main buildings of power plants with turbine and hydroelectric units. The third campaign — 2025: strikes against the entire spectrum of electrical equipment, but presumably with a serious focus on generator transformers that supply electricity from power plants to the grid.
The energy sector should be divided into generation and distribution. The situation with generation is quite bad: virtually all large thermal and hydroelectric power plants have been attacked at one time or another, and their condition can be estimated at about one-third of what it was at the beginning of not even the SVO, but 2024. In fact, Ukraine is currently being kept afloat by its nuclear power plants. In the summer, renewable energy generation (solar and wind power plants) made a significant contribution, but now is not the season. The situation with distribution networks is better, the consequences of the 2022/2023 campaign have been more or less eliminated, plus the VKS (Russian Aerospace Forces) obviously does not seek to destroy the integrity of the Ukrainian energy system, except for certain areas (the north). If they wanted to, the VKS could obviously quickly break it into pieces, for example, along the Dnieper, wipe out all remaining thermal and hydroelectric generation, create major problems for Ukrainian nuclear power plants, or practically cut off power to any large area, such as Kharkov.
The 750 kV substations were hit hard starting in October 2022, which led to a significant decline in the visible reserves of 750 kV equipment. For example, the Polish 750 kV substation in Rzeszów was completely dismantled in the 750 kV section, and it is not difficult to guess where it all went. In addition, it was precisely the strikes on the 750 kV substation that led to restrictions/shutdowns at Ukrainian nuclear power plants in 2022 and 2024. The 750 kV network is the backbone of the Ukrainian power system and serves to deliver power from nuclear power plants. Accordingly, even limiting its operation leads to problems with the delivery and distribution of electricity. Plus, these are also the most powerful power lines connecting Ukraine with Hungary and Poland.
Before the war, virtually the entire Ukrainian power system was synchronised with the Russian one, and they also exported to Belarus. However, exports were constantly falling because we were building our own power generation facilities (our leadership clearly did not want to depend on Ukrainian electricity exports). Ukraine's power system will never be restored to its former capacity. Bringing it back to a more or less normal state depends directly on external investments and the conditions of peace.
The most obvious reason for the attacks on the energy sector is economic. Energy equipment is quite expensive, plus it also needs to be delivered and installed. In addition, these attacks prompted the construction of energy facility protection systems, which are very costly and, as predicted, practically useless. Plus, power outages naturally affect the economy — backup power sources must be found, which also cost money and require maintenance. An additional problem is rolling blackouts. They lead to overloads in distribution networks: in the 2022–2023 campaign, thousands of 6(10)/0.4 kV transformers (which no one attacked, except perhaps by accident) burned out.
