The ‘Putinization’ of US foreign policy arrives in Venezuela

From the Guardian:

If the US can run Venezuela why can’t Russia run Ukraine and China Taiwan?

It’s now over 24 hours since  Trump has invaded a sovereign nation and what have the major world powers to say.

If Trump is opposed to dictatorships why does he not drop a few bombs over China and Russia, even North Korea.

To give such power to a despot such as Trump has a lot to say about democracy.

Pope Leo celebrated a New Year’s Day Mass in St Peter’s Basilica and then delivered a special noontime prayer from his studio overlooking the piazza, which was full of pilgrims and tourists on the bright, chilly day.

January 1 marks the church’s World Day of Peace and pope Leo used the occasion to issue a prayer:

“Let us all pray together for peace: first, among nations bloodied by conflict and suffering, but also within our homes, in families wounded by violence or pain,” he said.

Did President Trump know January 1 is World Day of Peace?

What at all lies ahead of us for 2026?

Or did somebody leave the backdoor open?
