The indirect threats to Venezuela, meaning the US Naval buildup in the Caribbean, the attacks on drug boats operating blatantly out of Venezuela, and the talk about direct attacks against officials in that country are having the desired effect.

I believe that the strategy is to con Maduro into thinking the US is actually going to attack and invade, causing him to mobilize large numbers of militia. This means he would have to actually pay them, and that would quickly bring Maduro's finances to the breaking point.

Of course, the Chinese could step in with subsidies, but they are pretty strapped themselves, as China is in even worse straits that the US in regards to its economy.

They bought Argentina about the same time as they started the Venezuela campaign. Both sides of the trade routes are getting covered. Now the Canal issue can get sorted out. Assuming there's some kind of intelligent plan involved.

While we wait on the Venezuela situation to develop, some other situations are developing due to Trump's actions.

First is the Epstein mess. Trump should have just released everything months ago. I have seen some reports that while he is most likely "clean" concerning Epstein's "lifestyle"(unlike, say, Andrew Windsor, Bill Clinton, or even Bill Gates), Trump may be trying to protect some of his pals. Still, not releasing all the materials has seriously damaged him, and is causing serious fragmentation of his base.

Second is the sucking up to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is NOT our friend. They were definitely complicit in 9/11. They fund extremists in Pakistan. I know that we need them to pump oil, but they have to do that anyway to fund themselves. Trump does want them to invest their $1T in the US, but I will believe that when I see it. Allying with them is NOT a good idea. Kuwait, which owes it existence to us, is the best as an ally for us outside of Israel.

I've been watching the news on Mexico. Mexico's last Crisis Era ended in 1929. It has been well over 80 years since Mexico's last Crisis Era and Mexico is long due for their Fourth Turning.

Over the weekend, thousands gathered in Mexico City to protest against the left-wing government of President Claudia Sheinbaum and the ruling Morena party. These so-called Gen-Z protests, which featured violent clashes with the police, were animated by grievances including cartel violence, narco-corruption, and, for a smaller subset, extremist politics. The protests were larger and more violent than anyone expected, and they represent the largest show of public opposition towards Sheinbaum’s presidency to date.

1910-1929: Mexican Revolution (Crisis Era)

In 1910, Díaz allowed the first election since retaking power in 1884. When his nearly unanimous (and likely fraudulent) victory against challenger Francisco Madero was announced, Madero organized a revolt which brought him to power. The next decade brought repeated coups and constant instability and bloodshed as different factions – radicals, liberals, and otherwise – fought for power. Then the Cristero War violently reintroduced the role of the Catholic Church as a fundamental question. Finally the mood eased when Plutarco Elías Calles managed to create a new political system which would ensure stability and peace through “puppet presidents” and a new party machine. Gray Champion / Defining Leader: ? Child Generation: The Stifled Generation (Artist) was overprotected as Mexico endured a bloody and destructive period of civil war and thorough national upheaval. They came of age while leaders confidently pursued a popular agenda and the country witnessed its most agreeable economy since independence. Later in life, as some remained technocrats and apologists, many broke free from a stilted and quiet youth to become the most articulate and impassioned advocates of reform.
