It is understandable for people looking at Venezuela from outside to think that we would be up in arms about the US taking an oil tanker. The problem is that the oil was headed for Cuba, a country that for a quarter of a century has hardly paid for it, and exported here their flavor of autocracy.

All the threats from Trump and his henchmen to Republican state senators in Indiana failed. Mid-decade gerrymandering rejected. This is no small thing. Maybe some other Republicans will finally start to stand up to the Mob Boss.

Listen to Vladimir Putin, and one would think Russia is marching to victory in Ukraine and overcoming whatever minor economic challenges it faces. In reality, the situation is far less comfortable
Russia is not as resilient as it wants you to think
But Vladimir Putin will keep fighting, and claiming victory prematurely

The Venezuelan government is broke. We have no business sending oil to Cuba, a country that pays below market prices and many times with labor that we already have in the country. The Cuban government is a parasite that wants to outlive its host, like with the USSR www.axios.com/2025/12/10/v...

War against the US tourism industry.
Requiring foreign visitors to hand over 5 years of social media isn’t “security,” it’s unchecked government control.
All-seeing surveillance systems don’t make us safer. They are in direct opposition to our civil liberties.
