Donald Trump has deployed one of the Army’s most secretive regiments in the Caribbean after threatening strikes inside Venezuela.
The president warned socialist tyrant Nicolas Maduro that he better not ‘f*** around with the United States’ as he spoke to reporters at the White House on Friday.
Trump has ordered five strikes over the last two months on Venezuelan ‘narco-terrorist’ boats in the Caribbean, killing at least 27 alleged drug traffickers.
The strikes come against the backdrop of the largest US military buildup in the region since the Cold War.
Maduro claims to have mobilized a millions-strong militia and is warning the population that Trump is preparing to invade.
Military experts say the true size of his army is just 125,000 soldiers and his rusty Soviet-era hardware stands no chance against America’s warfighting machine.
Trump has deployed B-52 nuclear bombers, guided missile destroyers, F-35B fighter jets, P-8 Poseidon spy planes, a nuclear submarine and around 6,500 troops.
Included in that group is the Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, known as the ‘Night Stalkers.’
The elite aviation unit provides precision air support for special operations forces including the Green Berets, the Navy SEALs and Delta Force.
This talk is a bit wordy and condescending but worth a listen. My understanding is interference in US elections, with help from China, is also an important factor in what is happening. ABN
The human toll of the ongoing Israeli war in Gaza since 7 October 2023 can be summarized in a few statistics even as the raw numbers cannot do justice to the raw suffering: the Israel Defense Forces have killed and seriously injured more than 10% of the population and, through the destruction of infrastructure — including energy, water, sanitation, agriculture, housing, and healthcare — rendered the conditions of life so difIicult as to cause long term harm for the rest of the population.
As of 3 October 2025, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, 67,075 people have been killed and 169,430 people have been injured out of the approximately 2.2 million people living in the Gaza Strip in July 2023 (not including Israeli military forces). 2 The total number of Gazans has declined to an estimated 2.1 million people since the start of the war due to death and the exodus of about 100,000 people from the territory.
The total number of casualties, 236,505 people who have been killed and injured, constitutes more than 10% of the pre-war population of Gaza. That is, if the statistics, from the Gaza Ministry of Health, are complete. Recent analysis by public health experts suggests that the number of fatalities reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health, which faces many obstacles to making a full account of the deaths, may be a signiIicant undercount of the violent deaths.
In the West Bank, 1,048 people have been killed and 10,320 people injured from 7 October 2023 to 3 October 2025 by direct violence. 4 Altogether, the number of residents of Gaza and the West Bank killed and injured in this period is 68,123 people directly killed and 179,750 people injured.
I have just concluded my telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, and it was a very productive one. President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East, something that, he said, has been dreamed of for centuries. I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine. President Putin thanked the First Lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative, and said that this will continue. We also spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over. At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our High Level Advisors, next week. The United States’ initial meetings will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, together with various other people, to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this “inglorious” War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end. President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more. I believe great progress was made with today’s telephone conversation.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have been exchanging their deadliest fire in years, and border clashes are now threatening to enter the Taliban-ruled Afghan capital of Kabul.
A tense, temporary ceasefire has been reached but only after Pakistan launched apparent drone strikes on Kabul, as well as the border province of Paktika, where fighting has raged. Eastern Afghanistan has also seen airstrikes by Pakistani Air Force jets.
“Explosions were also heard in Kabul, according to city residents who spoke to Radio Azadi. Unverified footage on social media appeared to show plumes of smoke rising into the sky in the Afghan capital,” observes US stated-funded RadioFreeEurope/Radio Liberty.
The fierce fighting stretches back to the weekend, which saw Taliban fighters and Pakistani security forces at several key border crossings, leaving dozens done, in what’s being described as the deadliest-ever fighting between the two sides, with many dozens killed and hundreds wounded.
In order to safeguard national security and interests, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Export Control Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Export Control of Dual-Use Items and other laws and regulations, and with the approval of the State Council of China, it was decided to adopt the following export control measures
1. Overseas organizations and individuals “hereinafter referred to as ”overseas specific export operators must obtain a dual-use item export license issued by the Ministry of Commerce of China before exporting the following items to other countries and regions other than China:
(1) Containing, integrating or mixing items listed in Part 1 of Annex 1 to this Announcement originating in China and manufactured overseas, and the items listed in Part 1 of Annex 1 to this Announcement account for 0.1% of the value of the items listed in Part 2 of Annex 1 manufactured overseas and above;
(2) Items listed in Annex 1 of this announcement produced overseas using technologies related to rare earth mining, smelting and separation, metal smelting, magnetic material manufacturing, and rare earth secondary resource recycling originating in China;
(3) Items listed in Annex 1 of this announcement originating in China.
I will be surprised if USA has not already established a plan to overcome this by mining our own rare earth minerals in our own country.
I have no doubt USA has caused China many problems covertly and overtly and China sees itself as fighting back (while also sobbing over their ‘Century of Humiliation’ which USA had little to do with).
China’s entire modernization has come mainly from USA and the West. Same for the entire rest of the world.
I do not expect anyone to kiss our asses and our elite parasites did make huge fortunes selling out our technology to China.
But it would be better if China behaved better than this, and same goes for most of the rest of the world.
Western men created the modern world. And everyone is benefitting from it.
Western-style modernization is without doubt the most significant human achievement in world history. ABN
(Also, USA defeated Japan in WW2, not China which did next to nothing but wait for the end to then seize power and bogus credit.)
Here’s a question I know many are wondering about: why did China wait until now to use rare earths as leverage against the US? Why not in the first Trump administration when the US started the trade hostilities? Or when the Biden administration unleashed the chips export controls 3 years ago?
I just watched a fascinating explanation by a Chinese analyst and, unexpectedly, a big part of the explanation is… helium.
Helium isn’t just a party balloons gas: it has plenty of industrial applications for things such as quantum computing, rocket technology, MRI machines, as a coolant for chip lithography equipment, etc.
In a nutshell what he’s explaining is that with helium the US had an even stronger card to play if China ever used the rare earths card.
Also Kyle Bass: ‘The path forward certainly feels like an inevitability of war.’
Bass is fairly reliable and does not have stars in his eyes vis-a-vis China, which is a very good thing.
I would hope USA has other ways to get rare earth minerals.
This move by China has been brewing for a long time and it has been a well-known option all along.
As for BRICS becoming stronger if USA responds vigorously, Bass has this to say:
‘The BRICS are akin to 5 garbage trucks backing into each other. Reserve managers won’t go there and China will collapse in the meantime.’
For decades I have watched Westerners being overly intimidated and/or impressed by China. This is a natural form of what might be called ‘culture shock’.
Everyone who studies Chinese starts out this way, super-enamored. It takes years of study to see their weaknesses and faults; their real humanity.
The best thing China has going for them is ethnic/ racial cohesion.
Sun Yat-sen taught this over one hundred years ago and it has become gospel in all Chinese communities everywhere.
It is a foundational part of Chinese education everywhere.
In the West, we have mistakenly gone the other way and are fast destroying ourselves with endless self-criticism and resignation.
The ‘culture shock’ aspect of this is societies affected by it typically feel despondent, even hopeless because the confronting culture is new and seems indominable.
Japan and China both reacted this way when first confronted by the West.
Japan figured things out more quickly than any other society in the world and succeeded in modernizing without losing their Japanese identity.
China today is still reeling from its self-perceived ‘Century of Humiliation’.
The West today is akin to Japan in, maybe, 1885 in our understanding of the ‘culture shocks’ we are experiencing.
Another big factor in the West is we are infested with powerful and hostile parasitic subcultures, literally high-end gangs, who are actively seeking to destroy us as they feed on us. ABN
It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.
Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.
It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
When Hamas came back with a “yes, but” to President Trump’s Gaza peace proposal on Friday, Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss what he saw as good news.
Netanyahu felt differently. “Bibi told Trump this is nothing to celebrate, and that it doesn’t mean anything,” a U.S. official with knowledge of the call told Axios.
Trump fired back: “I don’t know why you’re always so f***ing negative. This is a win. Take it.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Israel was preparing to initiate the ‘first stage’ of Donald Trump’s peace plan.
Netanyahu’s government had told the Israeli Defense Forces to stop its invasion of Gaza City and to reduce activity in Gaza ‘to a minimum,’ Israeli Army Radio reported.
The IDF order to halt offensive operations marks a remarkable U-turn in the war against Hamas since the terrorist group’s invasion of Israel on October 7 two years ago.
They have been ordered to only act if in defense and will stop their plan to occupy the city and evacuate remaining residents.
‘We will continue to fully cooperate with the president and his team in order to end the war in accordance with the principles that Israel laid out and which are in line with President Trump’s vision.’
This looks good. Time will tell how it develops; and for Americans, how it indicates the status of USA vs Israel; and the status of Jewish Supremists in USA vs those who are not supremists, and most of all those who oppose Jewish Supremacy.
It is possible Trump is a figurehead of an elite faction that opposes JS in USA and the West.
In this context, the fast oncoming US security state might turn out well if the faction that opposes the JS elite (and the many other factions that ally with them) has or gets top control of the NSA database.
To be effective, this faction would have to be as secretive and strong and savvy as the JS faction.
If they are as secretive and strong and savvy, their control of the database and more will allow them to fully analyze all connections among the JS faction and their allies.
And this will allow them to bust the entire lot of all those parasites.
Busting them does not need to mean putting them in jail or killing them. It only needs to mean they will be decisively dismantled, rendered impotent and driven from control of USA and the collective West.
This would be an extremely good thing for all civilized people in the world and especially for Westerners who want to bring their looming demise to a screeching halt. ABN
Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.
The United States is planning military strikes in Venezuela against drug cartels in the coming weeks.
Donald Trump is yet to approve the actions which are in response to President Nicolas Maduro, whom the U.S. sees as illegitimate, not doing enough to stop illegal drugs from getting out of Venezuela.
It would largely consist of drone strikes against leaders and members of gangs, as well as drug labs, NBC News reports.
They follow a recent lethal strike on a vessel allegedly affiliated with a terrorist organization ‘trafficking illicit narcotics’.
The attack killed ‘three male narcoterrorists’ took place in the US Southern Command’s area of responsibility, the president said.
