🇺🇸⚔️🇻🇪 VENEZUELANS REVOLT AGAINST DELCY RODRIGUEZ’S US PROXY ADMINISTRATION

Venezuela is now breaking out into mass protest as a result of low wages and high inflation, brought about by the new American vassal authorities under Vice President Delcy Rodriguez, a traitor who sold out Maduro to Venezuela’s American attackers for a $50 million reward.

Since the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro in a US bombing campaign on Caracas in January and brought to New York to face a show trial on fabricated drug trafficking charges, demonstrators have been active throughout Caracas and other major Venezuelan cities.

First they were calling for the captive President’s release and now they are demanding living wages and benefits from the new government. The police responded with violence against the protestors, overwhelmingly working class and pensioners, by using tear gas.

This is ultimately a result of Delcy’s decision to cut off relations entirely with China, Russia and Iran in the weeks after Maduro’s kidnapping, while re-establishing diplomatic ties with Washington and opening up the oil and mining industries to privatization by Western multinationals. The United States cannot supply Venezuela with any of the goods they need because they lack the industrial production capacity and supply networks needed to support the country.

However, this was a completely different story under Maduro who had positive relationships with both Russia and China. Even during the period of widespread humanitarian crisis, Venezuela still traded with China and Russia, exchanging oil for food, medicine and other essential goods that had been blocked by US economic sanctions and hoarded by private investors aligned with the CIA-backed opposition.

After Delcy completely broke off relations with China and Russia on the Trump Arministration’s orders and handed the entire oil industry over to Chevron, inflation shot back up to 650 percent in March 2026, with IMF estimates predicting a rate 682+ percent by the end of the year.

As of currently, Venezuelan oil revenues are being transferred and held in a special account controlled by the US Treasury, and Washington has also taken total control of Caracas’ gold reserves, $4.8 billion of which remain frozen in the Bank of England. Chevron and and the interim Venezuelan government have signed deals that will expand the corporation’s operations in the country. Venezuelan resources are being plundered and the authorities in Caracas are more than happy to permit it.

As a result, the Venezuelan Bolivar is experiencing extreme devaluation and the dollarization of the economy has led to widespread hyperinflation and total collapse. Delcy Rodriguez and her brother Jorge have shown the world where their true loyalties lie — with the CIA thugs who tortured and murdered their father in 1976.

🔴 COMBATE End of Day Review | April 10, 2026

US-Iran talks frozen as Tehran demands Lebanon ceasefire — Iran denied reports its delegation had arrived in Islamabad, with sources stating negotiations remain suspended until Israel halts attacks on Lebanon. CBS News reported Trump initially agreed the ceasefire would cover Lebanon but reversed course after a call with Netanyahu, who secured a US green light to continue operations while agreeing to avoid "major" strikes for two weeks.

Hezbollah fires ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv as Lebanon becomes central battleground — The group launched long-range missiles at Tel Aviv and Ashdod, triggering sirens across central Israel and disrupting Ben Gurion Airport operations. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir declared Lebanon the military's "main battlefield," while Israeli forces encircled Bint Jbeil and issued mass evacuation orders for Beirut's southern suburbs, displacing tens of thousands.

Iran's new Supreme Leader vows compensation, signals hardened Hormuz stance — Mojtaba Khamenei, in his first major address marking 40 days since his father's death, declared Iran the "definitive victor" and promised to demand reparations for war damages. Parliament announced it will codify new Strait of Hormuz transit rules into law, requiring fees paid in rials or cryptocurrency—a move Trump denounced as "dishonorable" and a violation of the ceasefire agreement.

Senior Iranian strategist Kamal Kharrazi dies from airstrike wounds — The head of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations succumbed to injuries from a US-Israeli strike on his Tehran home days earlier. His wife was killed in the initial attack, with Iran's vice president calling the targeting "clear evidence of desperation" to disrupt Iranian foreign policy.

Drone attacks hit Kuwait and Gulf states; Iran denies involvement — Kuwait reported hostile drones struck vital facilities, with explosions also reported in Dubai. The IRGC categorically denied launching any projectiles during the ceasefire, suggesting the attacks were "undoubtedly the work of the Zionist enemy or the United States" and claiming to monitor missiles launched from Azerbaijan.

Pakistan's defense minister ignites diplomatic firestorm with anti-Israel remarks — Khawaja Asif called Israel "evil and a curse for humanity" and a "cancerous state," prompting Netanyahu's office to call the statement intolerable from a country claiming to mediate peace. Iranian sources revealed Pakistan intervened to halt an imminent Iranian missile strike on Israel, conveying US assurances that Tel Aviv would be restrained.

Putin declares Easter truce in Ukraine; Zelensky agrees to reciprocate — The Kremlin announced a unilateral ceasefire from April 11-12 for Orthodox Easter, with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev reportedly in Washington discussing broader peace terms. Ukraine confirmed it would observe the pause, with Zelensky noting Russia has "a chance not to return to strikes after Easter."

NATO membership for Ukraine "no longer being considered" — Secretary General Rutte acknowledged the US, Germany, Slovakia, and Hungary are blocking Kyiv's entry, with the alliance now focused on providing security guarantees instead. Rutte also indicated NATO is evaluating a potential mission to secure the Strait of Hormuz at Trump's request.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 TRUMP: A GLOBALIST CON MAN

As result of illegal US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, Western governments aligned with the World Economic Forum can roll out the fascist Great Reset agenda at a far greater speed than before:

▪️ Impose transition to EVs more than ever

▪️ Introduce the 15 km cities concept everywhere

▪️ Greatly increase the price of air travel

▪️ Further destroy the Middle class and rob the working class by forcing people to sell their belongings to cope with inflation and the spikes in energy prices

▪️ Speed up the introduction of mandatory Digital IDs to receive eligibility for government relief and potentially Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid

▪️ Roll out their plans for Central Bank Digital Currencies to enslave the global financial system to Wall Street

Donald Trump deceived millions of American voters with false promises of ending the wars, stopping globalization and industrial revival, and now he has proven himself to be one of the biggest puppets of the World Economic Forum and of the Bilderberg Group.

⚡️ Two Majors #Review #Summary for the morning of April 12, 2026

▪️ In the outgoing week, the international front was characterized by a humiliating for Trump gradual de-escalation of the conflict with Iran, during which the wounded Iranian people and their leadership showed that only decisive resistance, unconventional strikes on the pain points of transnational companies, and popular support for the army can give a rebuff to the rampaging colonialist butcher. Tehran's approach to negotiations is from a strong position: demands - up to the lifting of half-century-old sanctions and reparations from the aggressor. NATO in this situation turned out to be a paper tiger, unable to fight for Washington's interests. For now, the situation is heading towards a strategic defeat for the Americans in the Middle East, unless the bloody psychopath Trump decides to treacherously resume the war and send maritime landing forces to Iranian shores, which would inevitably result in the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and marines.

▪️ EU countries have not wasted their not yet very powerful military potential and continue to prepare for war to expand their living space to the east. By focusing on ultra-expensive projects like the latest supertanks and new-generation aircraft, the arms lobby is digging its own grave for the united armies of Europe due to the impossibility of producing super-complex weapons in commercial quantities. Meanwhile, the greatest threat to Russia is forming in Europe at the expense of eastern countries like a revanchist Poland, which is actively purchasing truly effective types of weapons and studying the experience of the war in Ukraine. The logistical chain for the lightning transfer of troops and equipment to the east, into the war in Kiev, is being drawn into the quagmire, with the Baltic states and Finland, whose airspace the Ukrainian Armed Forces previously used for the passage of their attack drones. EU legislation is being brought to a state in which mandatory military service and mobilization measures will be reintroduced during wartime. Nevertheless, at present, the EU is not able to resist the conventional weapons of the Russian Army, which gives the arms lobby and anti-national governments of European countries ample scope to cut social budgets in favor of the military-industrial complex. If we fantasize and imagine that the former USSR and RSFSR, at some whim of fate, decide to direct their military efforts against the West, then, honestly speaking, Europe's chances of withstanding are negligible. Perhaps this reason has long been the main one for the "Ukraine-Anti-Russia" project.

▪️The front in the week was characterized by both an intensification of hostilities and a lack of progress in advancement. This does not mean that the battles have become less bloody. The parity of military potentials in the combat zone, despite differences in types of weapons, motivation of personnel, and the costs of the war for the West and Russia, is still preserved. The advancement of Russian and Ukrainian troops due to hundreds of drones in the sky on narrow fronts of the front is extremely difficult. Such a situation is beneficial for Kiev, whose purpose continues to be the draining of Russia's economic, military, and human resources. The destruction of the economy of the former USSR, now completely existing on Western money, does not particularly concern the Kiev junta, as do the brutal mobilization measures against the frightened population, unable to organize popular resistance to the fascists.

"It's not about attack—no, no. I'm talking exclusively about defense," Zelensky said, describing his plan to create NATO 2.0 with Ukraine.

You mentioned NATO a couple of times, and now Trump is saying that, in his view, NATO is, to some extent, a failed project. Will Europe be able to fill the potential defense gap if the Americans leave?

If the US seriously considers leaving NATO and we've heard such statements even from officials, and publicly then all of Europe's security will rely solely on the EU

For ex., we want to be part of the EU, and I'm sure we will be. But, in my opinion, the EU is currently in a situation where it needs certain countries: the UK, Ukraine, Turkey, Norway. Frankly, the UK, Ukraine, and Turkey—together they will form an army that will be stronger than Russia's.

Here's the answer: without Ukraine and Turkey, Europe will not have an army comparable to Russia's. And with Ukraine, Turkey, Norway, and the UK, maritime security can be controlled—and not just at one sea.

🔴 COMBATE End of Day Review | April 07, 2026

Iran rejects US ceasefire, demands permanent end to war — Tehran formally responded to Washington's 15-point proposal via Pakistan, dismissing the offer of a temporary truce as a prelude to "continued aggression." Iran's counter-demands include lifting all sanctions, dismantling US bases in the Persian Gulf, and joint control over the Strait of Hormuz with transit fees for all vessels.

Israel kills two senior IRGC commanders in Tehran strikes — The IDF confirmed assassinating IRGC Intelligence Chief Majid Khademi and Quds Force Special Operations Commander Asghar Bagheri in separate strikes on the Iranian capital. Israel also announced attacks on three Tehran airports and claimed its strikes have disabled 85% of Iran's petrochemical production.

Iran, Hezbollah, and Yemen announce joint military operation — The Yemeni Armed Forces declared a coordinated barrage of cruise missiles and drones targeting Israeli positions in Eilat alongside IRGC and Hezbollah forces. The IRGC claimed 98 waves of strikes on US and Israeli targets, including attacks on bases in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Trump extends deadline, threatens to destroy Iran overnight — The US President pushed back his ultimatum by one day, warning Iranians will be "sent back to the Stone Age" without an agreement. He admitted the US covertly armed Iranian protesters through Kurdish intermediaries who kept the weapons, and called Americans opposing the war "fools."

Russia warns of Chernobyl-scale catastrophe from Bushehr strikes — Moscow's Foreign Ministry expressed alarm over repeated attacks near Iran's nuclear plant, stating "the threat of a catastrophe more devastating than Chernobyl" looms over the Gulf. The IAEA confirmed military strikes occurred near the facility.

UK reportedly refuses US access to bases for civilian infrastructure strikes — British officials will deny American requests to use UK airbases for attacks on Iranian bridges and power plants, according to media reports. London's position is that such strikes on civilian targets could constitute war crimes.

Four Israeli soldiers arrested for spying for Iran — The Shin Bet detained active-duty combat soldiers accused of producing explosives and conducting experiments for Tehran during the conflict, described by authorities as a "qualitative escalation" in Iranian intelligence operations.

Strait of Hormuz traffic down 90%; Iran plans transit fees — Tehran permitted only 15 vessels through the waterway in 24 hours while announcing plans to impose security tolls on all passing ships. Iraq secured a special exemption for its oil exports; South Korea is rerouting tankers to Saudi Red Sea ports.

European energy crisis deepens as oil surpasses $114 per barrel — Iranian crude now trades above Brent for the first time since 2022. The European Commission is preparing emergency measures including heating restrictions, while Hungary deployed military units to protect the TurkStream pipeline after an attempted sabotage in Serbia.

🇨🇺RTVI’s new video from Cuba shows what an energy blockade looks like in real life. People stand in fuel lines a thousand deep. Hospitals work through blackouts. Families say they feel like they are living in a camp, not on a tropical island.

The report links this directly to Washington’s oil embargo and pressure on anyone who dares sell crude to Havana. Sanctions here are not an abstract policy tool. They are empty fridges, dead streetlights and protests in the dark — and the camera lets Cubans themselves say that on record.

"Europe Has Enough Jet Fuel for Now, as Trump Lashes Out": European airlines will face problems with fuel supplies in May due to the war in the Middle East.

"No shortages are expected in Europe in April, but the situation could worsen in May amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The European Union and the UK are net importers of aviation fuel, including kerosene, and under normal conditions, they receive a significant portion of their supplies from the Persian Gulf countries.

Supplies of aviation fuel from the Middle East and Asia are decreasing, and there are few real alternatives.
Kpler analyst George Shaw also believes that "although the drop in expected supplies in April looks sharp, the real consequences of the worsening situation will become apparent in May".
