China's response to a U.S. Venezuelan invasion might include dumping US Treasuries, restricting rare earth exports, and imposing higher tariffs, escalating the trade war while protecting Chinese investments like China Concord’s $1 billion oil projects.

Trump Family has stolen $10+ billion since 2024 election through crypto & real estate & direct bribes. This costs US: foreign power diminished by Trump selling policy to highest bidder, domestic economy wrecked by Trump's insider trading on tariffs, democracy/rule-of-law undermined by Trump's crimes

The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes

At the center of Trump’s “plan to end the war” is $300B in frozen Russian assets that Russia wants to give US oligarchs for “investment projects”. Any reconstruction of Ukraine would be “US-led”. Witkoff, Kushner and Russians plan to revitalize Russia’s $2T economy through joint Russia-US ventures.
Ukrainian delegation is set to meet with Witkoff, Kushner and Rubio in Florida on Sunday. Reportedly, negotiations will focus on military aid and security guarantees.
It’s vital to note that any final agreement would require the Russian side’s approval [that has not shown any desire for just peace]

Trouble for Ukraine.
Trump subordinates are mostly idiots and liars — not exactly an all-star lineup.
Except maybe Rubio, none of the US team understands Putin's demonic belief in Russian imperialistic goals.
Kushner and Witkoff and Trump are chasing business deals for themselves, as usual.
