Martin Jay – Strategic Review.su Jan 7, 2026
Was Putin played by Trump? Are these two world leaders really friends who can now work together on Ukraine – or on anything else, for that matter?
Analysts will now be scrutinizing China and Russia’s next move following Trump’s dramatic seizure of power in Venezuela, his theft of its oil, and his reassertion of American dominance in the region. For Trump and his cabal, this is a tremendous victory by their own values and worldview. Some argue that before the U.S. can reinstall itself as a global hegemon, it must first re-establish itself as a regional superpower. Job done. No South American elite will sleep comfortably now if they are buying Russian or Chinese arms or considering joining BRICS. Those already in the new Eastern trading bloc, like Brazil, will be left wondering about the madness of Donald Trump – and whether he has any limits at all after the Venezuela invasion.
What is remarkable is how little effort the Trump administration makes to disguise its true intentions – and how little resistance, even token, is offered by Europe.
Analysts have long insisted that Trump’s Venezuela policy had little to do with drugs. Most of the fentanyl fuelling America’s opioid epidemic does not originate in Venezuela, despite Trump’s repeated claims linking Maduro to drug cartels.
This has always been about regime change – an objective championed in certain Washington circles for over a decade, with renewed momentum since Marco Rubio became Secretary of State and set his sights on toppling Cuba’s government.
For Trump, the prize was twofold. First, to set a new standard in South America and across the Global South: the U.S. will flex its muscles and no longer tolerate non-aligned actors who maintain cordial relations with Washington while assisting Russia, China, and Iran. Second, to strike at China by blocking its access to the cheap, vital oil that fuels its economy. This second layer of the plan also indirectly hits Russia, a key ally of Beijing.
Trump’s victory in Venezuela, however, will bring consequences in the coming weeks and months – ushering in a new world order that can only harm the U.S. economy, a factor he has clearly failed to consider. Trump never strategizes, never thinks long-term, never considers impact. While the Delta Force operation was remarkable for its speed and success (the last comparable U.S. invasion, in Panama in 1989, took two weeks to locate and capture strongman Manuel Noriega), we shouldn’t overlook that it relied entirely on a single close aide to Maduro who betrayed him. It’s entirely plausible that Trump cannot answer simple questions from journalists about how things will be run in Caracas because he wasn’t planning for a 24-hour operation, but for one lasting weeks, if not months. The entire elite forces operation hinged on one individual’s intelligence being accurate on the day.
Perhaps caught off guard by the speed of the operation, Trump will now face even tougher questions: How does this affect your once-great relationship with Putin? Or better yet: Does this put the U.S. in a stronger position in the tariff war with China?
Putin, it is reported, was horrified by the U.S.-led bombing of Libya and the ghastly slaying of Gaddafi. It is inconceivable that the warm relations forged at the Alaska summit can be sustained after Maduro’s capture – a point underscored by Putin’s immediate demand for Maduro’s release as his first official response. Russian analysts who were sceptical of Alaska may now tell Putin, “You were played,” given that Trump has just kidnapped a key Russian ally in South America and is already stealing its oil. Putin’s response – and, more importantly, how Trump responds in the coming days – will be critical to averting global conflict. Iran could become a new venture invested in at an entirely new level – especially given Trump’s recent social media warning to Tehran that America is “locked and loaded” and ready to intervene if demonstrations are not handled “in a civilized manner,” as defined by Washington.
For the first time, a salient question is being asked by Chinese and Russian leaders: “Has Trump lost his mind?” Before, such remarks were flippant and unserious, but the new world order he is trying to forge has led some to genuinely question his sanity. Most Americans, however, do not see the Venezuela coup in its true context. They are poorly informed and fail to grasp that a commercial confrontation with China cannot be won. Top experts already point to China dumping the dollar and buying gold, which would devalue the currency. If China permanently blocks the sale of rare earth minerals to the U.S. – impacting electronics, electric cars, and even the arms industry – the Caracas stunt will be seen for what it is: a foreign policy gambit that will sink Trump and his legacy. How will his media machine handle increased prices for Chinese goods as American companies struggle? Or might Europe have the last laugh if China’s blockade leads U.S. consumers to buy more European products?
The new Trump who emerged from the Venezuela coup – facing journalists with a vaguely prominent but tired gaze, dazzled by victory – is about to face resistance from a new world order of his own making. His late-night, rambling tweets threatening Iran come from the Zionists who control him and should not be taken seriously. Of course, Trump doesn’t read and is worryingly ignorant of even his own country’s history. How can he lecture Iran’s leader on handling protests when American troops killed four university students with live rounds at Kent State in 1970? The irony-free zone in which Trump operates when threatening regimes around the world is becoming hilariously out of touch, and he himself a joke. Until now.
The Venezuela stunt was led by Rubio, whose entire political mantra is based on hitting Cuba, his own country, and removing its regime. But we must consider the cost in the never-never land Trump inhabits – an Alice in Wonderland where no advisors warn him against such moves and there seem to be no consequences. His relationship with Putin will never be the same unless he releases Maduro. China cannot allow Trump to cripple its economy by cutting off its main oil arteries. The best Trump can hope for is that Xi simply calculates the economic loss and imposes it back on the U.S. economy. In reality, it’s hard to imagine China and Russia not strategizing to halt the momentum that Trump’s coterie of ignorant halfwits seems to believe he has.
International law is something the U.S. only imposes on others, without respecting it itself. Anywhere in the world with mineral wealth or oil – whose leaders refuse to bow to America’s terms of servility – will be a target. U.S. bombing in Nigeria should worry its government, as should Trump’s moronic idea of “taking” Greenland, which would put Denmark in a troubling position with both the Trump administration and the EU, possibly sparking a new Brexit-like crisis as Brussels lacks the courage to stand up to America’s mad new king and his wacky ideas. How long before America “discovers” terror groups in, say, Uganda, which has recently struck gold?
The recent, sensationally cowardly statements by the EU Commission president – a power-crazed lunatic running the EU like a mafia operation, wiping out dissent while granting herself near-monthly salary increases – are particularly worrying. The shift from begrudging support for U.S. foreign policy to full endorsement of America’s breach of international law is notable. Who, if not China and Russia, can stop this lunatic now that he is gaining confidence and his mad ideas are taking root?

German politician on trial over Nazi song played at his birthday party
Story by DPA International
A controversial member of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party accused of incitement to hatred and money laundering appeared in court on Wednesday on the first day of his trial.
Daniel Halemba, a member of Bavaria’s state parliament, faces a slew of charges, including over a banned song that promotes the expulsion of migrants from Germany that was allegedly played at his birthday party.
Prosecutors say the song by disbanded neo-Nazi rock band Landser, which was classified as a criminal organization in 2005, was played from a USB stick owned by Halemba on his 21st birthday in July 2022.
Halemba, now 24, was aware that the lyrics incite hatred towards Germany’s large migrant community as they call for the forceful expulsion of migrant roots, prosecutor Tobias Kostuch argued at the start of proceedings at the district court in Würzburg that is was a foul crime
Here in the UK 2men were recently given a long prison sentence doe singing the UK soldiers wartime marching song
” Beware beware the dirty jew “
The most dangerous combination of all – an enormous, nuclear armed military, controlled by an egomaniac who is in turn controlled by a group of criminal psychopaths. If Russia and China do not act, disaster is inevitable.
As ever, China plays the long game, but that counts for nothing when confronted with an out-and-out lunatic. Russia still seems to be fascinated by Europe, pathetically hoping for a ‘deal’ when in reality it is faced by an implacable enemy who only understands force, and plenty of it.
THE BBC PROTECTED PERVERTS
former BBC DJ Chris Denning Admits Child Sex Offences
Fact checked by The People’s Voice Community
Niamh Harris News
A former BBC Radio One DJ pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court on Monday to 21 child sex offences committed between 1969 and 1986
75-year-old paedophile Chris Denning admitted abusing 11 boys, some as young as eight and denied three counts of indecent assault.
Denning was a close friend of Jimmy Savile‘s and helped launch the career of Gary Glitter.
Denning, who was arrested as part of a police inquiry into the Walton Hop Disco for teenagers in Surrey, will be sentenced on 6 October.
He was part of the original line-up that launched Radio 1 in 1967, but left two years later.
The prosecution said it did not intend to proceed with a trial on the three charges to which Denning had pleaded not guilty.
He is currently serving a 13-year jail term for sexual assaults against 24 victims from the 1960s to 1980s.
He said we were all at it, we would recommend friends who were into it, the unisex Mod types with back combed hair and makeup
the little scooter riding tarts, we were all having them, the BBC bosses did not care.
He will next appear at Southwark Crown Court in front of the same judge who passed sentence on him for those offences in 2014.
We are about to find out what the Venezuelan government is made of minus Maduro?
Surely Trump’s plan can’t work long-term.
LOL…
Weasel whirreds..CiA backburner pushing axis of resistance drivel…I certainly hope these supposed white knights mount a better resistance to this latest staged nonsense than they did to the covid psy-op.. which of course varied from enthusiastic complicity to unhinged tyranny..
but I have my doubts…
when in doubt apply Holmes maxim to problem..
‘When you have excluded the impossible , whatever remains , however improbable, must be the truth.’
and of course never forget..they have the best frenemies money can buy..all of it in fact sloshing round the whirled in fact without the money they wouldn’t fucking exist..
You could have asked Hank Kissinger court joo to the whirled and agent of zion about all that… but thankfully the cunts dead..
