PHIL GIRALDI—The military assault on the Presidential Palace in Caracas did not topple the regime in Venezuela, if that was the intention, and the country’s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez quickly took charge of the existing government. Donald Trump, nevertheless and characteristically, proclaimed himself to be the president of the country and declared that the United States would “run” it while it is under reconstruction by the firm hand and boot of Uncle Sam. The “running” clearly is focused as a first task on developing and selling Venezuelan oil, though it was a bit of a shock when the first tranche of profit from the venture consisted of $500 million dollars which was conveniently banked in an “offshore” account in Qatar.

Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ is the nail in Gaza’s coffin
Feckless European leaders like Starmer let Israel and the US tear up international law in Gaza. Now, faced with Greenland and Ukraine, they are suffering from a severe case of buyer’s regret20 minutes readJ. COOK—US President Donald Trump has declared the three-month “ceasefire” in Gaza a great success, and now wants to move on to phase two of his so-called “peace plan”.
What does success look like? Israeli soldiers have killed more than 460 Palestinians since October, including at least 100 children.
Israel has levelled another 2,500 buildings, the last of the few that were still standing.
And amid a continuing humanitarian catastrophe engineered by Israel through its blockade of food, water, medicines and shelter, at least eight babies are known to have frozen to death as winter temperatures plummet.
Marking the transition to the new phase, Trump announced last Friday a “Board of Peace” to determine the enclave’s future.
“Peace” here is being used in exactly the same Orwellian sense as “ceasefire”. This is not about ending Gaza’s suffering. It is about creating Big Brother-style narrative control, selling as “peace” the final eradication of Palestinian life in Gaza.

ON THE CUSP OF WAR: Statement by Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran
Let all voices be heard. Too much is at stake, as an attack on Iran could easily get out of hand.11 minutes readTGP—The events of this month have differed from previous protests in one crucial respect. [Hypocritically, since Trump cares zero for Iranian lives.—Ed] The U.S. president publicly warned that Iran would face consequences if protesters were killed. This message, intentionally or not, gave plotters an incentive to pursue a callous and horrific strategy of what can only be described as “maximum bloodshed.” The purpose was clear: to drag the U.S. into fighting another war on behalf of Israel. When even President Trump’s former Central Intelligence Agency director, Mike Pompeo, openly acknowledges the Israeli Mossad spy agency’s infiltration of street protests, this reality can’t be dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

John Helmer: Who Really Owns Venezuela?
PLUS: Amb. Chas Freeman: Iran Vows Huge Response to US-Israel Attackby Chas FreemanApprox 2 Hrs. • Watch / readDW—The discussion covers many topics, including the strategic importance of Greenland for the United States, challenging the narrative put forth by American politicians like J.D. Vance and President Donald Trump, who have expressed interest in acquiring Greenland. Freeman critiques this stance as motivated more by Trump’s personal vanity rather than genuine national security concerns, noting that Denmark and NATO have long cooperated on missile defense involving Greenland. He also highlights the potential damage Trump’s rhetoric has caused to NATO’s cohesion.
Freeman then explores the broader challenges facing Europe, including the debate over American military bases, the increasing European defense budgets as a hedge against US unpredictability, and the complex relations with Russia and China. He notes the absence of strong leadership in Europe, the rise of nationalist movements like Germany’s AfD, and the continent’s struggle with its reduced global influence.
