@SenSanders So US sanction have nothing to do with the poor state of Venezuela 🇻🇪?
US intervention via military operations, economic warfare is neo-colonialism let’s call a spade a spade.
The Monroe Doctrine is at play, nothing more nothing less
@CrisisGroup@EroComfort@ChathamHouse Sanctions fail, gunboats arrive = Standard MO. Ask Africa & LatAm. US already grips Greenland; now staging a crisis to shake NATO.
@ChathamHouse#NATO was a defense pact underwritten by #US access to European markets. Now, with EU-US trade shrinking and #China dominating #EU markets, the old arrangement is outdated. The manufactured #Greenland crisis is just an excuse to renegotiate or break the alliance. Managed decline

@ChathamHouse@ChrisSabatini@CH_Americas We know what happened next.
Same old playbook: U.S. company bags the contract, frozen funds recycle to Trump donors, minerals & oil flow north, petrodollar gets 15 more years, Russia pockets half of Ukraine for looking away, China eats the loss,& South American know who’s boss 🇺🇸
#MAGA is using Europe’s 19th-century playbook:
kidnap the king, ship him to an island, seize the trade.
Ashanti’s Prempeh I → Seychelles
Opobo’s Jaja → West Indies (died en route)
Ahanta’s Badu Bonsu → head sent to Leiden
Colonial conquest #NicolasMaduro
When you own the hemisphere’s biggest guns & its reserve currency, outrage is just noise & the petrodollar gets another decade.
@realDonaldTrump is the new Nixon:
shock doctrine abroad, law and order at home, & a cold bet that the world will scream then quietly fold
#Venezuela
@realDonaldTrump didn’t break the rules, he reminded Latin America the rules were always optional.
Caracas 2026 = Berlin Conference 1884: bigger navy, bigger oil, same scramble.
Hegemony isn’t diplomacy; it’s a protection racket with aircraft carriers.

😵💫In some countries, a Minister can resign for integrity issues that were committed and prosecuted before they even held any public office. In #kenya 🤣🤣 #louisehaigh
@Jaguar Santino Pietrosanti's marketing is brilliant. The brand was dying; they couldn't compete on price/ volume, and the only option was to go upstream ‘opulence’. So they need to rest the brand. Step one was to get global attention ✔️✔️✔️. But can Richard Stevens deliver?
