The U.S. Senate passed a War Powers Resolution 52โ47 aimed at limiting Trumpโs ability to conduct further military action against Venezuela without explicit Congressional approval. Five Republicans joined Democrats, reflecting bipartisan concern after the recent U.S. military raid in Caracas.
However, it still faces hurdles: it must advance in the House, and even if approved by both chambers, Trump is expected to veto it, and Congress would need a twoโthirds majority to override the veto.
putin has claimed that russia is fighting its wars "on behalf of God," using religion to justify military actions.
By framing the war as something holy or righteous, russia is trying to rally support at home and give its aggression a deeper meaning.

Iraq is moving to nationalise operations at its massive West Qurna-2 oilfield after U.S. sanctions forced Russian oil giant Lukoil to declare force majeure. With Lukoil holding a 75% stake, Baghdad has tasked the state-run Basra Oil Company with taking over for the next 12 months, keeping output steady at around 465,000 to 480,000 barrels per day.
The move is aimed at avoiding supply disruptions while Iraq shops for new investors to replace the sanctioned Russian firm.
