One of the big questions about the US invasion of Venezuela is what is the next step. Does th Trump régime have a plan? Or is it the first step in the Western Hemisphere to control Greenland, Mexico, and Cuba? Is it a message to China to takeover Taiwan an Russia to overtake Ukraine and parts of Europe, like the Baltic States?

There’s not much that could be done in the US since Trump’s Republicans control Congress and the Senate. Mid-term elections are in November.
Apart from the wreckless foreign policy, and to add insult to injury, Trump is wishing for some Noble Peace Prize for his reckless policies that will lead to no good.

If anything, Trump’s about-turn in domestic and foreign policy reveals that his administration, led by the likes of Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio and other far-right politicians, shows how low we have fallen by giving big business, and wealth power. These will eventually receive their comeuppance in the end, if we don’t destroy before ourselves through catastrophes like war and disregard for the environment.
Apart from scaring the wits out of the US’ allies, it is clear that if the goal is money and wealth, nothing lasting can come out of it. The tiptoeing around Trump of the EU and Finland’s President Alexander Stubb is nothing short of disgraceful.
Stubb, like the European Commission, has given his blessing to the inhumane treatment of asylum seekers at our borders. He has blessed the pushback law, which give the Finnish border guards the right to turn back without due process any asylum seeker.
I wonder when Stubb will play golf with Trump again?
What the Trump administration is doing is awakening the fighting spirits of Malcolm X, Eldridge Cleaver, Angela Davis, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Tamara “Tania” Bunke, Nelson Mandela, Rosa Luxemburg, Eva Perón, Mahatma Gandhi, Frederick Duglass, Martin Luther King Jr., Toussaint L’Ouverture, Karl Marx, Emiliano Zapata, Frantz Fanon and many, many others.
We have wonderful examples of the wisdom and learnings on how such people pushbed back oppression and injustice.
The latter list of social fighters gives me hope in 2026.
