Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump laid out a hardline vision for Latin America. On Venezuela, he said the U.S. needs “full access to their oil and resources” and warned of another strike if Caracas “doesn’t behave.” He called the seizure of U.S. assets “the biggest theft in our history.”
On Colombia, Trump accused its leader of fueling the cocaine trade and warned, “He won’t be doing it much longer.” He also said Cuba’s “days are numbered,” citing its record of repression.

Yanis Varoufakis on 3 January:
> What a great day for Vladimir Putin! I can picture him in the Kremlin, watching the EU & the UK play dumb while Trump trashes Int. Law, their media reporting Maduro's abduction as an 'arrest'. I bet he's thinking: Should I also detain Zelensky and subject him to Russian justice?
Is he really that dumb or just pretending? #Russia had been desperately trying to capture Zelensky immediately following the 24 February 2022 invasion, which involved both helicopter landing operation in Hostomel and at least three covert spetsnaz teams hiding inside Kyiv (!) for weeks before the invasion. All have been eliminated during the first days of war, but only because they actually went for the hunt.
On 4–5 Jan 2026 (18:00–08:00), #Ukraine repelled a mass drone/missile attack:
165 Shahed/Gerbera UAVs and 9 Iskander-M/S-300 missiles launched from russia.
137 UAVs shot down /suppressed
26 UAVs + missiles hit 10 locations, debris in 9 areas.
Attack ongoing.

#Venezuela Delcy Rodriguez:
> We invite the US government to collaborate with us on an agenda of cooperation oriented towards shared development within the framework of international law to strengthen lasting community coexistence.
I wonder whom all the left wing protests “in defense of Venezuela” planed worldwide are going to support now? Maduro, a guy who falsified elections, killed, detained and exiled thousands of people and invaded neighbouring Guyana? I can assure you, it will make your just as popular and “principles-based” as Russian bots moaning about Yanukovych being “legitimate president of Ukraine”.

Ukrainian drone maker Fire Point has localized 97% of engine production for its long-range FP-1/FP-2 drones. CTO Iryna Terekh says 80 of 82 parts are made in-house, from casting to final assembly.
Even mufflers are now local, slashing costs from €400 to €70. Output tops 200 drones per day. At $58,000, the FP-1 is far cheaper than Russia’s Shaheds. Ukraine still relies on imported microchips, but it's one step closer to tech independence.

Stesso risultato su tessuto umano prelevato durante operazioni. Trial clinici su un inibitore simile mostrano già sicurezza nell'uomo.
Se funziona, addio protesi: basterà un'iniezione locale o una pillola per rigenerare dall'interno. I ricercatori sperano in trial specifici entro 2-3 anni.
