While progressives often champion feminist rhetoric, Takaichi, Meloni and Machado have risen to prominence through conservative platforms. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/24/world/conservative-women-shatter-glass-ceilings/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #sanaetakaichi #giorgiameloni #mariacorinamachado #italy #venezuela #nobelpeaceprize #margaretthatcher
A sanctioned oil tanker pursued by U.S. forces has turned away from Venezuela and retreated out into the Atlantic Ocean. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/25/world/us-oil-tanker-chase/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #venezuela #oil #donaldtrump #us #usmilitary
Trump has again expressed a desire to annex Greenland.
He is clearly overlooking the asymmetry:
— If Denmark closes the US space base at Pituffik, every country will side with Denmark, because no country would want to host a nation who wants to invade; while the US will suffer a strategic setback in The Arctic.
— If the US invades Greenland to keep Pituffik Space Base, Trump places the US in a situation like Russia — a paria state which the world condemns for attacking a democratic nation.
@randahl
I think, that that #PariahState thing is anyway imminent to the #USA - considering what happened in the #UN about #venezuela .
I don't think, an administration that gives a s**t about their own people will think twice about other countries.
made the mistake to turn on the tv when a #petromafia karen was on BBC wellaktchually about #Venezuela. changed the channel and, sure enough, a bulletin about the MAGA cartel salivating over #Greenland.
my friends and relations: there’s way too many wistfully clueless gringos in #USA and not enough Americans to shut this shit down.
then there's the fact the gringo petromafia WORK statelessly. the only way to shut them down is to do so, globally.
we need another #Mai68, the sooner, the better.
UN-Sicherheitsrat tagt zu Venezuela-Eskalation
Die Spannungen zwischen Venezuela und den USA verschärfen sich weiter. US-Präsident Trump legte seinem Amtskollegen Maduro nun den Rücktritt nahe. Der UN-Sicherheitsrat tagt heute in einer Dringlichkeitssitzung.
The U.S. Coast Guard is waiting for additional forces to arrive before possibly attempting to board and seize a Venezuela-linked oil tanker it has been pursuing since Sunday, a U.S. official and a source said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/24/world/oil-tanker-venezuela-us-seize/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #oil #venezuela #oceans #shipping #donaldtrump
U.S. President Donald Trump says it would be “smart” for Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to step down, as U.S. naval forces pressed a blockade on the South American country’s oil wealth. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/23/world/politics/trump-maduro-step-down/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #nicolasmaduro #venezuela

This Is The World's Biggest Criminal
#DonaldTrump imposed #sanctions on the #ICC & demands that the Hague modify its founding charter to guarantee the #US empire impunity for its invasion crimes.
The #UnitedStates claims its geopolitical adversaries are "rogue states," but overwhelming evidence shows Washington violates international #law more than all other countries on Earth

Has the US military gone rogue?
Now a second tanker which was NOT on any sanctions list either by the US or internationally was seized near Venezuela.
The US administration has said it was blockading only sanctioned vessels, but it appears they are seizing also vessels which would legally have been allowed to operate.
Whether rogue or not, this is an exceptionally bad move. China can now retaliate on civilian vessels in the Pacific.
#Trump orders #blockade of 'sanctioned #oil tankers' into #Venezuela, ramping up pressure on #Maduro
The moves comes after the #US last week seized an #OilTanker off Venezuela’s coast, following a buildup of #military forces in the region. In a social media post Tuesday night announcing the blockade, Trump alleged Venezuela was using oil to fund drug trafficking & other crimes & vowed to escalate the military buildup.

For ProPublica filmmaker Mauricio Rodríguez Pons, Yineska and her family represent the many Venezuelans who’ve come to the U.S. seeking safety and opportunity — and, in many ways, his own immigration story.

Debating on whether I should watch Trump speak at 9 PM EST.
I really do not want to, but I suspect #America 🇺🇸 will be launching an invasion of #Venezuela 🇻🇪 (whose current leadership I despise) in the near future, so I probably should tune in.
