Mapping the US attacks on Venezuela
“New Year, new me!” It’s time to shed the old year and welcome the new one. Meet the green anole (Anolis carolinensis), a small lizard found throughout much of the southeastern United States. Did you know? As an anole grows, it sheds its old skin. This process, called ecdysis, helps the lizard get rid of damaged or infected skin and allows for new healthy skin to replace it. In fact, most reptiles (including turtles and snakes) shed their skin as they grow.

A long history of US intervention in Latin America
US strikes on Venezuela under President Donald Trump reflect a long history of US intervention across Latin America, particularly during the Cold War. Here’s a closer look:
via Al Jazeera
Maduro, wife Flores face charges including ‘narco-terrorism’, posession of ‘destructive devices against US’
These charges include “narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machineguns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machineguns and destructive devices against the United States.”
lol, lmao. Okay I’m going to explain this hack because it’s pretty clever.
Non-technical people should know that this is a fun thing that a user created and there’s nothing wrong with it per se, but it’s not exactly standard

US regime change in Venezuela could trigger similar in Cuba
Cuba relies heavily on Venezuelan oil, not as much as it did 10 years ago, when it received about 100,000 barrels a day, but it still receives around about 30,000 barrels of oil a day, which is crucial, given that Cuba’s energy matrix, energy grid is overwhelmingly reliant on petroleum.
“It directly translates into a huge humanitarian cost for the most vulnerable in this society.”
Ed Augustin
Trump has said he watched the operation “like I was watching a television show” … noting the “speed” and the “violence” of the raid.
He said the US is now deciding what’s next for Venezuela after Maduro’s capture.
He said the US will be “very strongly involved” in Venezuela’s oil industry, adding that “we have the greatest oil companies in the world, the biggest, the greatest, and we’re going to be very much involved in it.”

‘America can project our will anywhere’
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has spoken after Trump, heaping praise on the US forces and the president.
“America can project our will anywhere, anytime, the coordination, the stealth, the lethality, the precision, the very long arm of American justice, all on full display in the middle of the night”, he said.
“Welcome to 2026, and under President Trump, America is back.”

If all that holiday stress has you craving a spa day, you’ll probably relate to the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata). Also known as the snow monkey, this species might be spotted on Japan’s Honshu, Shikoku, or Kyushu islands. Populations that inhabit northern regions have thick fur coats to protect them from cold weather.

"We built the Venezuelan oil industry with American money and talent and the socialist regime ROBBED it from us, it was the largest theft of American property in history."

Lint trap
The US will take a “tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground”, which he said will go to Venezuelans and the US “in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country.”
US oil companies will go into Venezuela, “spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country.”
Democratic Representative Becca Balint strongly criticised the action
Balint said she was angry, calling the operation unnecessary, illegal and long planned. She argued it had nothing to do with drug trafficking and instead was about oil, minerals and regime change.

Balint said there was no legal justification for the invasion and expressed outrage that Congress had not been briefed, including the Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, and the relevant committees.
She warned the move was dangerous not only for Venezuela and the wider region, but also for the US’s moral standing globally.

I see I can develop fast with generative AI. But I just don't use them yet because I care all my projects bit too much. I'm putting a lot of care into every single bytes except the comments. I won't let anyone else to do my job it's my work and I have *strong* opinions about how it should be done.

hey, @youtube.com, what's this. I have a premium account and now I'm watching an Ad due to session bug. Honestly I'm ok to pay even more for premium Ad free account if that's needed considering the infra cost, but WHAT THE FCK IS THIS???
@zkatkat I tried ChatGPT! Once, for a very limited number of queries, and early on, but I thought it was dishonest on my part to not at least try. It absolutely did not fucking work in any way shape form or fashion, and the illusions it used were obvious and transparent.
I don't see why that's so difficult for people to understand.
