What will happen if the Venezuelan people feel the USA is only out to take their natural resources and not interested in helping them ? Will the USA suffer real casualty numbers for oil ? The Ukraine people can suffer this for their fight, can the USA ?

Why is there no discussion on EU countries importing Russian LNG. Liquified Gas ? Poland, Germany and Netherland increased imports in 2025. Trump may be protecting Russia and Putin from Sanctions for his own personal gratification, but LNG does seem a double standard blind spot for EU Europe

Would you say the international free trade also undermined many countries ability to defend and feed themselves in the event of conflict ? And worse with social media allowed foreign actors to create division in their adversaries society ? Have China and Russia used the West’s free market to win

The Trump administration is testing out American style post truth politics on Greenland and Denmark. Using the Vance moral vacuum talking head ( and Trump sicophant ) as a loud speaker. The result may be the opposite of that which is intended

Thanks Anders. You analysis is always enlightening. Does anyone really know the details of the ceasefire or peace treaty ? Surely no US security guarantee, and no trust is any US response, but what else is in the detail ? Nothing Zelensky could use apart from the mineral / reconstruction deal ?
