🇺🇸🇻🇪 UNUSUAL | The outfit worn by Nicolas Maduro during his arrest is unavailable on many sites, sold out in the United States.

🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP CLAIMS HE “PREDICTED BIN LADEN” BEFORE 9/11? At a recent event, Trump claimed he warned about Osama bin Laden “one year before the World Trade Center.” Here’s the context: Trump did mention bin Laden briefly in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, but it wasn’t exactly a red-alert warning. He listed bin Laden among a handful of bad actors the U.S. should watch, along with Saddam Hussein and North Korea, but no mention of planes or towers. Now, nearly 25 years later, he’s reframing that single sentence as a missed national security prophecy. Trump: “I wrote about him… I said, ‘You have to go after Bin Laden’, it was in my book. If they would’ve listened to me, they would’ve taken out Bin Laden, and they wouldn’t have the World Trade Center tragedy. Did you know that? I predicted Bin Laden.” Source: @PolymarketIntel , CSPAN

🇺🇸🇻🇪🇨🇺 TRUMP: A LOT OF CUBANS WERE KILLED” - HAVANA CONFIRMS 32 DEAD AFTER MADURO RAID "Cuba always survived because of Venezuela, now they won't have the income coming in. A lot of Cubans were killed yesterday, you know that… the bodyguards. There was a lot of death on the other side, not on our side.” Cuba just admitted what Trump was hinting at: 32 Cuban citizens died defending Maduro from US forces, including military bodyguards and intelligence personnel. Cuban dictator Miguel Díaz-Canel declared 2 days of national mourning. Cuba has been propping up its failing economy with Venezuelan oil for decades. Maduro's regime sent cheap oil to Cuba in exchange for military advisers, intelligence operatives, and bodyguards. It was essentially a protection racket disguised as socialist solidarity. Those 32 dead Cubans? They were the muscle keeping Maduro in power, and they died trying to stop American forces from taking him. Now Cuba's facing both a body count and an economic crisis, with its Venezuelan cash cow potentially gone for good. The question is whether Havana can survive without Caracas bankrolling the regime.

🚨 🇺🇸🇬🇱🇩🇰 TRUMP MOCKS DENMARK’S GREENLAND DEFENSE: “THEY ADDED ONE MORE DOG SLED” As geopolitical interest in the Arctic heats up with Russia, China, and NATO all watching, Greenland’s strategic value is no joke, even when Trump’s comments keep turning it into one. Trump: “You know what Denmark did recently to boost up security on Greenland? They added one more dog sled. It’s true. They thought that was a great move.” Source: @clashreport

🇺🇸🇸🇴 TRUMP: "SOMALIANS RIPPING OFF $19 BILLION, ALL SHOULD BE DEPORTED INCLUDING TOTAL CROOK ILHAN OMAR" “Somalians are ripping off our country to the tune of looks like 19 billion dollars but that's only what they can find. Usually when you're looking at 19 that would mean it could be 50 but the numbers are astronomical. Somalia pirates are stealing money from the American taxpayer and every one of them should be forced to leave this country including Ilhan Omar who's a total crook and she's one of the leaders of it.”

Venezuela’s Real Strategic Value Forget the oil for a second. Venezuela was a geopolitical Swiss Army knife for America’s adversaries. Russia stationed military personnel there. Tu-160 bombers. Naval visits. A foothold 1,400 miles from Florida. China poured in billions through loans-for-oil deals. Infrastructure investments. Leverage. Iran used Venezuelan airports to fly in IRGC personnel and equipment. Hezbollah has operated cells there since the 1990s, with Margarita Island as the hub. Training camps. Smuggling networks. Money laundering through Venezuelan banks. Between 2010 and 2019, Venezuelan authorities issued over 10,000 passports to individuals from Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. Cuba embedded intelligence operatives in the security apparatus. The FARC found safe haven. The DOJ indicted Venezuelan officials for working with cartels, Hezbollah, and Hamas on narcoterrorism. Everyone got something. Russia got Western Hemisphere presence. China got leverage and cheap crude. Iran got a base of operations. Cuba got an ally. And the oil revenue, broken as it was, funded all of it. That network just got decapitated.

🚨🇺🇸🇻🇪 SEC. RUBIO TO JOURNALIST: YOU WANT US TO INVADE FIVE BASES AT ONCE? THE U.S. GOT MADURO, BE HAPPY WITH THAT Sec. Rubio just got grilled by a reporter who wanted to know one thing: if this was really about taking down a narco-terrorist regime in Venezuela, why stop with just Maduro? Why leave the rest of his crew in power, including the Defense Minister, who has deep ties to Russia and a $15M bounty on his head? Why didn’t the U.S. land in more military bases, arrest the whole network, and shut it all down? Rubio didn’t back off, he defended the limits and called the op a historic win. "It is not easy to land helicopters in the middle of the largest military base in the country, kick down his door, grab him, and leave without losing any Americans. You're asking me why we didn’t do that in five other places at the same time? I mean, that’s absurd. This is one of the most daring, complicated, sophisticated missions this country has carried out in a very long time. An indicted drug trafficker who was not the legitimate president of Venezuela was arrested, and now faces justice in the U.S. court system. The others who were also indicted are still in place."
