Sitting on a Powder Keg

Things are very tenuous around the world, and there are two major hot spots. Western Asia remains volatile with with back and forth firing between Iran and the US...both claiming the other is breaking the ceasefire. Israel continues to occupy Lebanon and attack Hezbollah. The US and Israeli puppets that run the Lebanese government signed away their sovereignty. I don't think Hezbollah will comply, Israel sure isn't. The Ukraine proxy war accelerates with drone strikes targeting Russia with a focus on Crimea. Russian troops are steadily advancing toward the Dnieper. The question remains, will Russia target the drone manufacturing facilities in Europe? Meanwhile the entire world faces an economic disaster with the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Venezuela's opposition party may have kicked Juan Guaido to the curb, but that still doesn't mean that the U.S. can't just take over Venezuela’s embassy.

Venezuela's political opposition party has dissolved the "interim government" led by Juan Guaidó.

Despite a full-press pressure campaign by the West, OPEC cut their production by twice as much as expected. What I find interesting is the reaction in Washington.

There's too much going on to focus on any one thing, so I'm just going to have to dump it all into one essay.

Today is election day in Colombia, and for the first time in that nation's 200 year history there is a real chance to have a leftist president.

Credit Suisse yesterday posted a forecast that came with the clause "not a typo".

Yesterday I pointed out how the Biden Administration is now talking to the legitimate government of Venezuela, a government that Washington doesn't actually recognize, in order to get their oil flowing again.
Today the spin started.

Technically the U.S. still considers Juan Guaidó the President of Venezuela, despite the fact that he never even ran for the office of President, nor holds an elected office of any kind, and only has a 15% approval rating.
