This is a follow-up on the above title, which was published in November 2018. There have been many developments since then, especially with China, Ukraine and the Middle east. We shall try our best to explain things in a coherent manner, as many are reeling from confusion with so many events happening simultaneously, at a global level. We will do it region by region. To understand why the US acted fast to kidnap Maduro, a little knowledge of the new digital payment systems work.
1 The mBridge Digital System & How They Work
Direct Transfer: Funds move directly between parties on a shared, cryptographically secured ledger, bypassing multiple banks. Instant Settlement: Transactions settle in minutes or seconds, 24/7, not days, eliminating time zone and banking hour delays. Reduced Costs: Fewer intermediaries mean lower fees for businesses and consumers. Transparency & Security: Immutable records and cryptographic security reduce fraud and offer real-time payment visibility.
Benefits for Trade is Faster Cash Flow: Quicker settlements improve liquidity. Lower Costs: Reduced intermediary fees make international trade more accessible. In essence, these systems are creating a more efficient, real-time global payment rail, transforming traditional finance by making cross-border transactions as seamless as domestic ones. Project mBridge reached the minimum viable product (MVP) stage in mid-2024. The project aimed to explore a multi-central bank digital currency (CBDC) platform shared among participating central banks and commercial banks, built on distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable instant cross-border payments and settlement. Project mBridge was the result of extensive collaboration starting in 2021 between the BIS Innovation Hub, the Bank of Thailand, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, the Digital Currency Institute of the People’s Bank of China and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. The Saudi Central Bank joined in 2024. The project aimed to tackle some of the key inefficiencies in cross-border payments, including high costs, low speed and operational complexities. It also addressed financial inclusion concerns, particularly in jurisdictions where correspondent banking (which connects countries to the global financial system) has been in retreat, causing additional costs and delays. A platform based on a new block chain – the mBridge Ledger – was built to support real-time, peer-to-peer, cross-border payments and foreign exchange transactions. In 2022, a test was conducted. The mBridge project team then explored whether the prototype platform could evolve to become an MVP. As of that time, the observing members to Project mBridge included many central banks. Now, this is where it becomes interesting. A few months ago, Venezuela made an agreement with China, and signed up to the mBridge program. From January, 2026, all trade conducted between China and Venezuela would trade and make payments via this mBridge system. Now, those countries that sign up to this is that it bypasses SWIFT. Since SWIFT is under US control, it means that the CIA can track every transaction in the world, when the dollar is used. Since the US weaponized the dollar, this was seen as a “spy” on the trade of many nations. The CIA would not be able to track this. It would be ok if the trade volumes are small, and don’t include energy trades. A green light was issued to stop Venezuela in embracing this system.
2 Venezuela /Cuba
So, finally an act of predatory action by Trump – the abduction of Maduro in a lightning night-time military strike – has launched 2026 into a pivotal moment. A pivotal moment not just for Latin America, but for global politics. The U.S. does not need to create a new governing régime from scratch, nor put ‘boots on the ground’ – for Venezuela, the plan is that the existing government of the newly-sworn in President, Delcy Rodriguez, will remain in control of the country – so long as she follows Trump’s wishes. Should she or any of her ministers fail to follow that blueprint, they will receive the ‘Maduro treatment’, or worse. The U.S. has already threatened Venezuela’s Interior Minister, Diosdado Cabello, that he will be targeted by Washington unless he helps President Rodriguez meet U.S. demands. In this context, the U.S. approach to Venezuela resembles that of a Vulture Hedge Fund ‘buy-out’: Remove the CEO and co-opt the existing management team with money to run the company to new dictates. In Venezuela’s case, Trump likely hopes that Rodriguez (who has been ‘talking’ with Secretary Rubio via the Qatari royal family, and who is also the Minister responsible for the oil industry) has squared off all the factions that compose the Venezuelan power structure to accept the relinquishment of state sovereign resources to Trump. What is so pivotal here is the shedding of all pretense: The U.S. is in a debt crisis and wishes to seize – for exclusive U.S. use – Venezuelan oil. Submission to Trump’s demand is the only variable that matters. All masks are off. A Rubicon has been crossed. The erasure of the American ‘project’ – the substituting of self-interested hard power for the American narrative of it being ‘a light to all nations’ – constitutes a revolutionary change. By disregarding its own values, the US has destroyed itself. The ramifications will ripple throughout the world. Venezuela’s long-running territorial claim over Guyana’s oil-rich Essequibo region was reignited by Exxon’s massive offshore discoveries. The removal of Maduro has sharply reduced the risk of any Venezuelan challenge disrupting Guyana’s oil boom. With Venezuela sidelined and U.S. backing effectively deterring any aggression, geopolitical risk around Essequibo has faded. A couple of years ago, Venezuela’s government decided to revive a territorial claim over much of its neighbor, Guyana. The tiny country was emerging as a major oil producer, and Venezuela wanted a piece. Then came Trump and removed the head of that government. Essequibo lies between Guyana and Venezuela, with both claiming sovereignty, while Venezuela is planning a referendum on Sunday to determine the territory’s ownership future. The 100,000 sq km territory represents about two-thirds of Guyana’s territory and is also the site of a string of huge offshore oil discoveries by Exxon. Those discoveries, the first of which was announced in 2015, were what reinvigorated Venezuela’s claim on the territory. Over the ten years since then, Exxon and its partners in the Starbroek Block have tapped reserves estimated at over 11 billion barrels of crude, and Guyana’s production is rising in leaps and bounds. Last year, Exxon produced over 660,000 barrels daily in mid-2025, eyeing production capacity of as much as 1.7 million barrels daily by 2030. But Nicolas Maduro’s ambitions in Essequibo were threatening that. Now, with the Venezuelan president ousted by the United States, oil production in Guyana will go more smoothly, without the risk of the country ceding two-thirds of its territory to its larger neighbor. Guyana is the jewel in its crown. Low breakeven costs, massive reserves to recover, and a friendly government determined to make the best of its resources without succumbing to the so-called oil curse—Guyana was a jackpot for Exxon.
Many are saying that it will take a decade and more than $100 billion to bring Venezuela’s oil production reach 3 million barrels per day, and many oil companies are not interested in investing into its oil industry. This is a classic case of misdirection. The reality is that the Rockefeller Empire is not interested in increasing production. The aim was to deny its oil reserves to China. Its second aim was to make sure that Venezuela does not enter the digital currency system as it will bypass the dollar and that the CIA will lose track of what and who is buying oil from Venezuela. A Rockefeller company, Chevron is the only US company producing oil in Venezuela. In Guyana, both Exxon and Chevron are the dominant shareholders in a consortium that includes a Chinese company. As of writing, the US has stolen between 30 -50 million barrels of oil, together with the ships carrying it.
3 Wall Street’s December Repo Crisis 2
The current financial crisis the West finds itself is that the two families and its elites got too greedy in the post-bellum years: in order to jack up their monstrous wealth, they decided to ‘globalize’ the critical supply chains that were the entire ‘blood and treasure’ of Western developed nations, just to make a few more cents on the dollar in the margins. But this allowed the now-subsidized ‘undeveloped’ nations to master Western technologies and economies of scale while industrializing themselves at record paces. They did this while simultaneously keeping their cultures relatively intact, unlike Western cultures which were subject to heinous social experiments that wreaked generational havoc. Now fortunes have flipped and calculations clearly show the West can no longer keep up with a culturally and economically ascendant Global South. So, the only choice that’s left is to pour every ounce of resources into sabotaging these competing systems even if it means triggering non-stop conflict and global war on every continent. The problem is, this hyper-militarization drains resources even faster and accelerates the West’s own demise: Note how the USD began to lose its global dominance just as the West sabotaged the ‘legitimacy’ of its own banking and dollar system over its infinitely risky Russia gambit: The dollar found itself in a vulnerable position after the freezing of Russian assets became a primary tool of pressure. This undermined the Bretton Woods system, which had previously made the dollar an integral part of global reserves by effectively equating it with gold. Previously, holders of US Treasury bonds could rely on their stability, since their returns were comparable to those of gold, and inflation and modest interest rates were easily offset by debt servicing.
Now it has become clear that assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars can simply be frozen by the decision of a single person, even without proper explanations or legal grounds. This has alarmed investors, who have begun pulling capital out of US Treasuries and shifting into gold. The dollar and US Treasuries are no longer seen as a safe haven, and gold is once again becoming a sought-after asset. The New York Federal Reserve has quietly pumped over $420 billion into Wall Street over the past three months through repurchase agreements, including nearly $97 billion since December 31st alone. For comparison, that total is nearly equivalent to the entire 2008 TARP bailout. The Fed also removed its $500 billion cap on these transactions, meaning there’s now no limit to how much banks can borrow.
After doling out almost nothing through this program since July 2020, the transfers suddenly ramped up in October, including a $50 billion infusion on Halloween. The recipients are kept secret for two years to protect their reputations. Let’s do a monthly breakdown of the amount that banks had to borrow funds from the New York Fed’s open window, wherein banks can borrow funds on an overnight basis. Banks borrow funds by pledging collateral. This is known as the REPO market. These figures are for the 4th quarter of 2025.
- October -$50 billion
- November -$273 billion
- December $97 billion
- Total for the 4th quarter = $420 billion.
This mirrors the REPO volumes in August 2019, which led David Rockefeller Jnr to go ahead and lock the global economy down, which had to be done before the end of the 1st quarter of 2020 i.e. March 31. Covid was launched on March 10th. We are in that same financial quandary that faced Wall Street back in late 2019. Only this time the West is in a much weaker position than it was in late 2019. At that time the conflict with Russia had not begun, nor was Gaza in the picture. Today, both conflicts have de-militarized the West, shattered their economies and financial power, not to mention that Western societies are imploding. This is why the Russian SMO may go down as the most pivotal geopolitical flashpoint since WWII, because it may very well be the final catalyst which brings the post-war system’s arc to its natural conclusion. I’ve said from the beginning that the SMO may very well lead to the collapse of both NATO and the EU, and—particularly with the recent Greenland saga and contradictions over who will back whom in Ukraine—we can clearly see the trajectory of NATO’s demise now playing out. The August 2019 Wall Street Repo crisis brought about the lockdown of the global economy, in order to save the financial system. This time, David Rockefeller Jnr is prepared to SHUT DOWN THE Western financial system in order to save Wall Street and his global empire. In September 2019, the plan was to use Covid as the pretext. This time it’s going to be the upcoming war with Iran and false flag operations against Russia as A TRIGGER. We shall explain below how the two families are planning to do this. The US Dollar now represents ~40% of global currency reserves, the lowest in at least 20 years. This percentage has declined -18 percentage points over the last 10 years.
4 Russia
The Alaska talks were intended to lull Putin, through a series of endless discussions-which led nowhere. The US was working on two tracks simultaneously- negotiate while conducting covert ops in Russia. Putin stood his ground – no ceasefire until all my conditions are met. These talks took on an urgency by end October. Wall Street was wobbling. The only way to save the financial system was to shut it down –and blame it on Russia. The key was to provoke Russia to such an extent that its retaliation would bring the US into open war, and through a series of false flag ops, create a world-changing event, and use this to shut down the Western financial system. First was the drone attack on Putin’s official residence in Sochi. Putin didn’t take the bait. And, the second is the theft –through piracy of Russian oil tankers on the open seas. Putin didn’t take the bait. Instead, Putin destroyed factories in Western Ukraine, and de-energizing Ukraine. The one newly developing danger to watch is the growing Western escalation against Russia’s “shadow fleet” which is aimed at creating another crisis fulcrum point which can be pinned on “aggressor” Russia. Now the UK has joined the ranks of pirate nations—a nostalgic homage to its own historical roots—by announcing that they’ve discovered a “legal basis” by which the UK can join the US in seizing Russian ships. On this note, close Putin advisor Sergey Karaganov, who said that “if the Ukraine war continues at this tempo for another year or two, we will have no choice but to nuke Germany and the UK.” Karaganov is known for his rather inflammatory statements of this nature, so this should be viewed with some prejudice. On the other hand, the fact that Putin has now demonstrated the nuclear-capable Oreshnik on the NATO and EU border is a clear signal from the Kremlin for the West to “back off” with its provocations. It’s clear that if Russia is pushed too far into a corner, it may have no choice but to draw the final red line. But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, and most likely it won’t.
5 Iran
We have written on the benefit to the two families were Iran to fall. Let’s go through the key points.
A second front will open against Russia in its soft underbelly. Through northern Iran, the US and Israel can expand into Central Asia and close off China’s overland access. It will also cut off maritime oil supplies to China. Finally, it will then be in a better position to create a Sunni-Shia rivalry that China put an end to. And, finally, the greatest prize of all- Saudi Arabia will be broken up through internal unrest and external military pressure. On December 28, a financial warfare operation conducted through Dubai shorted the Rial-Irans currency, causing it to lose 30% value within a day. This upset the merchants in Teheran, who went out to protest. Mossad and CIA assets in country then escalated this into massive riots across a few cities, killing many, along with destruction of property. Had this continued for another few weeks, the US plan was to decapitate the leadership, and destroy the country’s air defenses, thus making it easier to take over the country. China helped Iran in hacking 40,000 Star link terminals across the country. By the 4th day, the riots began to die down. This overthrow by riots and chaos failed. Many of these spies and agents were caught. By day 6, calm had returned. Various spy networks across the country were dismantled. The internal chaos meant to distract the government had slowed down by day 7, the US was publicly re-thinking attacking Iran. A distraction. But we know that the plans to “blow-up” the Middle East has not stopped. While the media flirts with fleeting scenes of unfolding events, military navigation radars over the Middle East are drawing an entirely different map – one that can be described as the “inevitability of aerial and maritime engagement.” The construction of one of the most complex combat architectures of the modern era is being completed, where the American “air bridge” surging from the west meets the Iranian “air shield,” which has just placed its final piece in the north and center. China has supplied Iran with air defense systems, most notably the HQ-9 (similar to the Russian S-400 systems). Chinse military aircraft for the past week has to do with supplying multiple such systems, along with tons of missiles. In addition, Russia has supplied Iran with one of the most powerful EW systems – the Murmansk system. By analyzing the flight paths of strategic C-17 transport aircraft observed unloading their cargo at in Jordan and in Qatar, the outlines of the “centers of gravity” become clear:
• Jordan and Cyprus: forward launch platforms for electronic penetration operations, as well as combat search and rescue (CSAR) missions.
• Hamedan and Tabriz: Iranian deterrence fortresses and the potential launch points for any response intended to be equal in force.
The synchronization between the arrival of the destroyer McFaul in the theater by sea, the intensification of US aerial refueling flights, and the sealing of Iranian air gaps in Tabriz and Hamedan reinforces a single hypothesis- the era of maneuvers has ended, and the era of full “combat loading” has begun. This technical buildup filling the region’s skies and the edges of its seas indicates that we have moved beyond the stage of “psychological deterrence” and settled into a zone of “rough contact. “As the destroyer McFaul prepares to translate satellite data into intercept trajectories, the region appears suspended in a temporal “limbo,” awaiting a spark that politics can no longer prevent from igniting.
Across this landscape, a scenario emerges to define the coming hours or days: Here, the sky will “not sleep” for long weeks, in a war of attrition targeting nerves, batteries, and frequencies. As the region has grown accustomed to awaiting “digital data” from defense ministries in most of its previous wars, the air deployment map — stretching from Akrotiri in Cyprus to Nojeh, and from the Suez Canal to the Strait of Hormuz — confirms that the stage is complete, and that the curtain may rise at any moment on a new regional reality, dragging behind it the blaze of missiles that have come to see one another beyond the horizon. The United States and its regional partners have launched a new air and missile defense coordination cell at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, aiming to enhance joint defense capabilities across the Middle East, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Wednesday. Earlier, a senior Iranian official stated that it would target US military bases if Washington carried out an attack, following Trump’s threats of intervention in Iran. American and British soldiers at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were advised to leave by Wednesday evening. Staff at foreign embassies are flying out of Israel. Bomb shelters have been built. The ‘enforcer’ of this global-Western hegemony, the US Navy, is now shuttled and dragged back and forth from one flashpoint to the next as the crisis singularity goes parabolic. The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group (ABECSG) has been redirected to the Middle East from Asia. It’s gotten to the point officials are “concerned” the tired and worn-out fleet may be reaching its breaking point from having to hop, skip, and jump across the world. After the failure of the Mossad/CIA directed riots, three aircraft carrier groups are streaming to the Middle East. One from the South China Sea. Two other carrier groups have just departed from Norfolk on the way to the Middle East. The attack is not cancelled.
6 The Encirclement of Saudi Arabia
The ultimate “prize” for both the families is Saudi Arabia. The capture of Saudi Arabia will mean that the heart-beat of Islam is in the hands of its deadliest enemies- the Talmudic creed. It also means control of its oil resources- the largest in the world. Saudi Arabia’s actual reserves are more than THREE TIMES its official reserves. Were the Rockefeller family to gain control over Saudi Arabia, then its game over for the rest of the world. To achieve this aim, London has delegated Abu Dhabi to do the dirty work on the ground. It was several incidents in recent months that jolted MBS out of his delusions. The first was the move by Abu Dhabi to seize control of Yemeni territory. The UAE’s proxy in Yemen, the Southern Transitional Council (STC), seized the Hadhramaut and al-Mahra provinces from Saudi-backed forces in early December, bringing around 80% of Yemen’s oil resources under their control. The STC’s militants have even been trained by “Israel”. Abu Dhabi’s move, which would not have come without Zionist backing, now threatens the stability of the Arabian Peninsula and triggered major backlash from Riyadh.
While “Israel” is reportedly seeking to build up a military presence near the strategically located port of Berbera in Somalia’s Somaliland, Abu Dhabi began constructing the Berbera airbase as early as 2017, securing access to it for a period of 25 years. Similarly, the Abu Dhabi –Israeli alliance has extended to the establishment of a joint military presence on Yemen’s strategically located island of Socotra. It is speculated that the Abu Dhabi backed STC, in southern Yemen, may launch an offensive aimed at capturing the Ansar Allah-controlled port city of Hodeida, likely receiving Israeli aerial support. The coastline of Somaliland lies only 300 to 500 kilometers from Ansar Allah-controlled lands, making such an air campaign much more manageable than launching strikes from occupied Palestine. In reality, these militias in Yemen are riddled with al-Qaeda-linked fighters. The STC’s toughest fighting force, known as the Southern Giants Brigades, is reportedly led by the core of experienced militants who are former al-Qaeda fighters. In Gaza, meanwhile, Abu Dhabi and the Zionist Entity are also backing five separate proxy militias with alleged links to ISIS. Abu Dhabi and Israelis are huge fans of these Salafist militants, who are totally obedient to them and adopt a mass Takfir doctrine that they use to justify the mass slaughter of Muslims. This was the same exact strategy adopted inside Syria by the Zionists, using extremists to do their bidding, while dividing the Muslim World and paving the way for their expansionist agenda. If the Zionist Entity is to achieve “Greater Israel”, the common misconception is that they wish to directly occupy the entire region between the River Nile and the Euphrates. According to the Zionist vision, they would rule as an empire instead, whereby they enter into formal alliances with countries broken up into ethno-regimes and sectarian rump States. Divide and conquer.
The second move was Somalia. So, dividing Somalia, in order to help the proxy-militias secure a southern Yemeni State, is precisely in line with the Zionist agenda. They will attempt to rule these territories through proxy support, using their puppets to destroy the Palestinian cause. In other words, Somaliland recognition isn’t a small, isolated move; it is a piece being strategically positioned on their wider chessboard.
The third move was destroying Sudan. The Egyptian Air Forces carried out strikes against an arms shipment bound to the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the border triangle between Egypt, Sudan and Libya on January 12. This was not the first time Egypt has struck targets linked to the RSF. The latest Egyptian strikes appear to be a part of wider regional efforts, led by Saudi Arabia, to quell Abu Dhabi’s influence. The capture of the city of El Fasher in western Sudan by the RSF in October, which reportedly saw tens of thousands of civilians getting killed by the group, caused a serious rift between the allies of the SAF and Abu Dhabi, with Saudi Arabia even requesting the diplomatic intervention of the United States to bring the war in the country to an end. Notably, the latest Egyptian strikes came just a few days before Somalia annulled all security and defense agreements with Abu Dhabi citing alleged breaches of the country’s sovereignty, national unity, and political independence. Abu Dhabi has been backing the breakaway region of Somaliland in the north of the country, which was very recently recognized by Israel. In December, tensions moved to Yemen, with Saudi Arabia expelling Abu Dhabi forces from the country, and later completely dismantling its allies there.
Somaliland and the ‘Greater Israel’ project
For the so-called “Greater Israel” vision to come alive, dominance must be secured not only across West Asia and North Africa, but also throughout the Horn of Africa. More than a simple recognition of Somaliland, “Israel” is hatching a scheme alongside its Emirati allies aimed at a regional expansion agenda. For the so-called “Greater Israel” vision to come alive, dominance must be secured not only across West Asia and North Africa, but also throughout the Horn of Africa. The recent decision by Israel to recognize Somaliland as a State has triggered outrage across Africa and much of the Islamic World, while drawing condemnations from most Arab capitals, with the notable exception of Abu Dhabi. For the most part, analysts have pointed to “Israel’s” desire to use Somaliland as a staging ground for aggression against Yemen as a primary motivation behind the move. Abu Dhabi and Israeli agendas are one in this regard. They are inseparable and connected on almost every conceivable level, this is to the point that the de facto head of intelligence operations for Abu Dhabi has long been a man named Mohammed Dahlan, well known for his alleged involvement with Mossad and the CIA; particularly in Africa.
Target is Saudi Arabia
Look closely at the above three maps. The Israeli/Abu Dhabi game-plan is to destroy North Sudan. Then use a Rothschild client state – Ethiopia- to cut off the supply of water to the north – Sudan and Egypt. Then use North Sudan as a base to further destabilize Egypt. While Egypt is focused on the south, it makes things easier for Israel to launch attacks on Egypt from the north and through Sinai. Once Egypt has fallen, then all attention will be focused on Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia could count two nations as a back-up; these are Egypt and Pakistan. With Egypt out of the picture, that leaves Pakistan. India – a Rothschild vassal- will launch a war against Pakistan, thus removing it as a back-up for Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, MBS saw the danger and acted quickly. This move also crushed any hopes by the 2 families to impose the Abrahamic Accords on Saudi Arabia. In their greed, London exposed its plans and its principal proxy-Abu Dhabi. It was precisely this move that cost both New York and London everything they worked so hard to keep hidden. The entire region has united against the Israeli-Abu Dhabi axis.
London & the Rothschild’s Lost Big-Very Big!
Let me explain. When Trump visited the Middle East in March last year, Saudi Arabia and Qatar agreed to invest billions in the US. MBS pledged $ 1 trillion. This got London very worried. Very few know what we reveal here. The amount of money within the US economy is around $6 trillion. The Arab petro dollar funds deposited in London amounts to some $10 trillion. To avoid the Rothschild’s using these funds as a gun pointed to the Rockefeller Empire, New York needs to make sure that London is not in a position to sabotage this deal. Ever since 1975, surplus petrodollars were deposited in select banks belonging to the two families in both London and New York. As of today, this petrodollar deposits amount to some $10 trillion. As per the deal between MBS, Putin and Xi, the $1 trillion to be invested in US industry will come out of this $10 trillion in London. Also, many other Arab petro states are expected to move some of these funds from London to New York. This has given London a cardiac event, due to the fact that they don’t have this money to give back to the Arabs. So, the only way to stop this from happening is if Saudi Arabia suffers a color revolution or an invasion. That’s the reason London urged Abu Dhabi to increase pressure on North Sudan, and from there to Egypt, and from Egypt to Saudi Arabia. Egypt has the largest military amongst the Arab states. This was a very desperate move by London and its servant – MBZ. When MBS visited Washington. In October, this added new urgency to the situation. Suddenly, we find that the RSF-Abu Dhabi’s proxy force in Sudan – a bunch of murderous thugs, began committing rampant genocide.
7 China
The original game-plan of the two families was to create conditions for India to attack China in the south, while China is invading Siberia to secure oil and resources, having been cut-off from maritime trade, through a sea blockade, including through the Straits of Malacca. To beat this plan, Putin catered to the greed of the Indian elite that control Modi. This was done by selling huge volumes of oil to India at deep discounts. In addition, the military-defense co-operation between the two has increased across the board, with Russia offering better equipment, and at far lower prices than those offered by the West. Plus, India is a member of BRICS. India has been insulted, humiliated and tariffed by the US. All of these factors and more has soured relations between India and the US. This has drawn India and China closer together. A conflict between them would benefit only the two families. The plan of using India against China is DOA! While conflicts happen thousands of kilometers away from China, Beijing is reacting with caution and patience. However, there are increasing calls on Chinese social media to prepare for war with the US in 2026.Not merely a renewed trade war, or sustained tech war. But a hot war. The one common thread tying Trump’s theatrical bravados points in one direction – China.
His moves on Venezuela and Iran are squarely aimed at choke holding China’s oil supply. Beijing buys over 80% of Venezuela’s oil exports and 90% of Iran’s. Though these purchases represent less than 10% of China’s total oil imports, US control over global oil supply poses a real energy security threat to Beijing. If the US and Israel subdue Iran in a military conquest, the impact on the Gulf region will be profound. The Gulf sheiks will be completely under the thumbs of the US and Zionist interests. And China buys a lot of oil from the Gulf. In addition to an oil blockade, the US is also using open-sea piracy to disrupt China’s global commerce.
Though the news is falling off the radar in light of the sensational Venezuela raid and the rhetoric on Greenland, the US coast guard and navy are actively chasing and boarding oil tankers in international waters, including Russia-flagged ships. Some of the tankers have Chinese ports as their destinations. In the US Navy Institute report American Sea Power Project 2026 US-China Scenario, the Pentagon is recommending “hybrid warfare” in the event of a war with China over Taiwan. While warning the US is likely to suffer defeat in a war along Chinese coast and potential large-scale devastation to US homeland in a protracted war, it calls for disruptions of Chinese global commerce through Prize Law. The plan involves seizing vessels outside China’s defensive zones, away from its A2AD bubble; depriving China of key resources such as oil and critical minerals; stealing captured vessels to bolster US capacity by redeploying these vessels to support US war operations, addressing its sealift capacity shortfalls. The US ship building capacity is some 230 times smaller than China. The attacks on oil tankers by the US coast guard and navy in the Caribbean and Atlantic waters today is a dress rehearsal for conducting such piracy against Chinese-owned vessels.
The invocation of China and Russia in the context of Greenland has nothing to do with their presence on the ground or influence over the island. It is about blocking any potential Arctic routes for Russia and China as the ice caps melt. Bottom line – the many seemingly disjointed adventures Trump and the US regime are pursuing are all targeted towards China. Of course, China won’t fight a war with the US over Venezuela, or Iran, or Greenland. They are beyond China’s power projection capability and outside of its core interests. Unlike the US, China knows its limits. However, Beijing will not let the US make these moves, cost free. Commentators in China are calling for the country to get ready to take action on Taiwan in 2026.Since the new Japanese prime minister has declared Japan would intervene militarily in a Taiwan scenario, China’s preparations will also include war against Japan. Rather than letting Washington dictate the pace of the US China showdown, an accelerated conflict timetable in Western Pacific will derail US plans to gobble up the western hemisphere and the Middle East. China has completed the critical assets to enforce its A2AD strategy with new naval capital ships, stealth fighters, unmanned Ariel and underwater combat vehicles, as well as a large stockpile of hypersonic missiles.
The odds are heavily in China’s favor in a conflict with the US and its vassals in Western Pacific. And the US military knows that. There are several clear benefits in taking action on Taiwan now. First, taking out the weak Taiwan military before the recent $11 billion US arms sales arrive will reduce the cost of later operations. Among the US arms are ATACMS missiles that can hit Chinese cities. Though easily imperceptible, China cannot allow Taiwan to have weapons that can potentially threaten the mainland.
Second, taking over Taiwan can choke off advanced chip supply to the US while Washington is betting its economic future on AI. Taiwan still supplies 80-90% of the most advanced chips globally from the TSMC fabs in Hsinchu. If Washington wants to stranglehold oil supply, Beijing can cut it off semiconductors.
It’s no secret that Washington has already developed plans to destroy these fabs in the event of a Chinese take-over of Taiwan. They are likely already wired for demolition and definitely high on the target list for US missiles. But even if these fabs are destroyed, the loss to China is limited. After all, China has already been denied the most advanced TSMC chips by US coercion. It is making rapid progress to develop its own chip supply chains. On the other hand, the impact on US tech industry will be enormous. Perhaps fatal. The western media will claim that China has destroyed these fabs, using the same narrative around the Nord Stream. But once bullets start flying, narrative becomes irrelevant. Physical reality is what counts. Lies won’t win wars. The third benefit of a military operation over Taiwan is to destroy Tokyo’s plan to remilitarize. Takaichi and the extreme right in Japan are hoping to use the Taiwan situation as cover to change its constitution and remilitarize, even obtain nuclear weapons. Trump and the US regime has been prodding Japan down the path as its proxy to fight China. Japan recently announced plans to increase its military spending by 100% from 1% of GDP to 2%. Rather than waiting for the fruits of the toxic tree, in the context of a Taiwan war, China can invoke the UN-sanctioned Enemy States Clauses regarding defeated WW2 countries and deal with Japan before it fully remilitarizes, if Tokyo gets into the fray. The last benefit is to the nations under US threat right now. A Taiwan operation in 2026 will give pause to US imperial expansion plans. A defeat in a direct China US war over Taiwan will teach Washington some humility. Remember Korea? If the US cowards out and doesn’t fight, then its credibility as the top bully is over. There is probably no better way for China to assist countries like Venezuela, Iran, Colombia or Cuba whom China considers valuable members in a multi-polar world order.
Trump recently announced the US will spend $1.5 trillion on its military next year. That will raise its war spending from 3.5% of GDP to a full 5%. A $1.5 trillion military budget means the US will spend more than the rest of the world combined on war making. The country already has an enviable $38 trillion debt. So another couple of trillion is no biggie. There is an old Chinese saying “dead pig is not afraid of boiling water”. We know who the dead pig is. My sorrow goes to its creditors. China currently only spends less than 1.7% GDP on defense. To match US spending level of 5%, China will need to have a $1 trillion defense budget. Given that the Pentagon purchasing department has admitted Chinese defense purchasing power vs. the US is 3 to 1, that would give China a defense budget effectively double the US.
Last week, China revealed that its trade surplus for 2025 reached $1.2 trillion! Now it’s gloves-off time. Let the party start.
8 Canada & Greenland
When Trump first floated the idea of buying Greenland in 2019, it was widely dismissed as bizarre. But today, as Trump once again signals ambitions for the world’s largest island, the idea no longer seems so far-fetched. “We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not,” Trump recently declared. “Because if we don’t, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.” Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, has become the site of intense geopolitical rivalry. As the Arctic ice melts and shipping lanes open, its strategic importance has skyrocketed. Washington is serious about claiming Greenland, and nothing stops it from eyeing the even larger, better-connected, and more resource-rich Canada. Canada is the second-largest country and has 4thlargest oil reserves in the world. With the end of America’s global dominance, the US is going all out for full control over the Western Hemisphere.
Following two centuries of assassinations, coups, and military intervention throughout the Americas, the US has now turned to outright conquest. In an uncertain world, being an ally is not enough. For the paranoid empire, only annexation can guarantee security. The Canada–US relationship is like that of two brothers who share the same genealogy, get along, but sometimes fight. Both countries began as British colonies and split after the American Revolution. War broke out again in 1812 when America’s genocidal expansion into Indigenous land was halted by British Canada’s support for Tecumseh’s confederacy, in a conflict which saw the White House burnt down by the British. Though the war ended in a stalemate, US paranoia about its northern neighbor persisted. Until 1939, Washington maintained “War Plan Red, “a military strategy for invading Canada. The plan may have been shelved, but the instincts behind it never died. With the end of the Cold War, free market capitalism reigned supreme. In 1994, Canada joined the North American Free Trade Association (NAFTA) with Mexico and the US, greatly undermining its economic sovereignty. Canada, after all, is the second-largest of uranium of the 4th largest producer of diamonds 4th largest of gold, oil, and has the 4th largest of oil and has the 4th largest oil reserves. It also dominates lesser-known minerals, including being the number one producer of potash (used as fertilizer) and the 4th largest producer of indium (used in computer and phone screens and solar cells). These resources are both essential and highly profitable to the US. Canada is the number one supplier of oil, gas and uranium to the US. Even if Washington were to transition to green energy, Canada has many important resources such as lithium, graphite, nickel, copper, and cobalt – minerals that are also critical to military technology. It is these resources that have already motivated the Trump administration to invade Canada and try to annex Greenland. Oil is especially critical since its trade in US dollars props up the currency’s value. Undermining this is China’s goal of doing all oil trade using the the Yuan – hence, the major threat growing China–Canada relations pose to America.
Canada is also critical for national security, especially in the Arctic. During the Cold War, the main concern was alerting about a Soviet attack. As the Arctic warms, shipping routes are opening for trade from East Asia to Europe and the East Coast, and from Europe to the West Coast. Controlling these routes is essential for the US to protect its own trade and counter Russia (which controls the greatest area of the Arctic Circle). As the second-largest country in the world, Canada would be extremely difficult to annex. Trump has three options: economic pressure, divide-and-conquer, and military force.
The first, economic pressure, is already being imposed through tariffs. Initially set at 25 percent, they were then raised to 35 percent and 50 percent on steel and aluminum. While nearly all countries were subject to this, Canada was significantly affected, given its high reliance on trade with the US. In the second quarter of 2025, Canada’s economy contracted and unemployment increased, the highest since the pandemic. Rather than a trade negotiation tactic, some it is a deliberate act of economic sabotage, meant to weaken Canada so that it could be enticed to join the US. For the first time ever, more Canadians see the US as an enemy or potential threat than China. Travel, essential for fostering relations between the countries, plummeted. Most concerning for America was the Canadian government’s response to seek alternative trade partners. Ottawa’s relations with Beijing deteriorated after the arrest of business executive Meng Wenzhou. At the time of writing, Carney is set to be the first Canadian prime minister to China in eight years, in the hopes of diversifying trade. Any more economic attacks from Trump against Canada risk further diversifying trade away from the US. The second option is fragmentation. Canada has separatist movements in Quebec (the second most populated province, where 25 % of the population lives) and Alberta, which produces 84 % of Canada’s oil. Trump could support Quebec independence. Alberta, with its oil and conservative politics, would be the prime target. Its separatist movement is new, stemming from frustration with 11 years of liberal prime ministers. The province is set to have referendum this year or next.
The Military Scenario
Then there is the most extreme option: military invasion. On paper, it looks plausible. Canada has just 70,000 active troops and 74 tanks The US boasts1.3 million personnel personnel and over 4,600 tanks. Two-thirds of Canada’s population lives within 100 kilometers of the US border – making a swift strike feasible. Occupying this area would effectively end Canadian sovereignty. Canada also relies heavily on US military hardware, which could be digitally sabotaged.
And who would come to the rescue? Canada has no other neighbors, other than Greenland (Denmark), which has 56,000 people. Although Europe is closely allied with Canada, involving France and the UK could risk escalating tensions with the US. It would also mean Europe redeploying its military assets away from the Russian front. Theoretically, the inclusion of France and the UK could bring with it the risk of nuclear war. Before arriving in Canada, a European army would have to cross the Atlantic Ocean. And with more than 100,000 personnel stationed in Europe, the war would be in Europe too.
Why annexation remains unlikely – for now
Despite the threats, no military buildup is visible. Canada remains a key US ally. A hostile takeover would provoke enormous backlash, possibly on par with the Vietnam War. More critically, it could collapse the US dollar. An invasion of Canada would signal that no country is safe, prompting global sell-offs of US bonds and retaliatory sanctions. Still, this is not just Trump’s fantasy. It represents a broader shift in US strategy. With global dominance slipping, Washington is focusing on hemispheric consolidation. That means subordinating even its closest allies. Canadians should be under no illusion. Their country is not immune to empire. As the struggle for the Arctic and global resources intensifies, Canada finds itself on the frontlines – not of friendship, but of conquest.
The GIUK Gap
The GIUK Gap in the 20th Century
The GIUK Gap is a strategically significant maritime passage located between Greenland, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. Serving as a central chokepoint in the North Atlantic Ocean, it connects the Arctic Ocean to the Atlantic and facilitates movement between North America and Europe, making it a constant focus for naval strategists.
The GIUK Gap’s importance grew further during the Cold War, becoming a frontline in NATO’s defense strategy. It was a chokepoint for detecting Soviet submarines attempting to access the Atlantic from bases on the Kola Peninsula. NATO deployed the underwater Sonar and Sound System or SOSUS and maritime patrol aircraft to maintain an edge in anti-submarine warfare (ASW). The SOSUS network, an underwater array of hydrophones, provided early warning of Soviet submarine movements, significantly enhancing NATO’s surveillance capabilities. Even as Soviet missile technology improved, enabling ballistic missile submarines to operate from Arctic bastions, the GIUK Gap remained crucial for tracking attack submarines that could threaten NATO’s transatlantic reinforcement routes. This underscored the gap’s dual role as both a barrier and a gateway—a strategic chokepoint where control determined advantage.
Russia’s Strategic Interest in the GIUK Gap
Historically, the frozen Arctic has served as a natural barrier, shielding Russia from naval threats. However, as the ice recedes due to climate change, this natural defense is weakening, reshaping and presenting opportunities and risks for Moscow. A melting Arctic expands Russia’s operational theater, enabling greater naval maneuverability and more direct access to the North Atlantic via the GIUK Gap. This would allow Russian naval forces to bypass traditional chokepoints, complicating NATO’s tracking and containment efforts. Russia has increased its Arctic militarization in recent years—not only as a defensive measure but also as part of a long-term strategy to secure control over polar shipping lanes, energy resources, and military access points. The effort has included the reopening of Soviet-era bases, the deployment of advanced S-400 air defense systems, and regular with strategic partners in high latitudes. As great-power competition sharpens in the maritime domain, the GIUK Gap remains a geostrategic fulcrum, where NATO’s ability to maintain deterrence and maritime superiority will shape the future balance of power in the North Atlantic and beyond. Canadian PM, Mark Carney visited Beijing on Jan 15th, and signed many deals. Canada is seeking to diversify its export markets after Trump imposed tariffs on Canada.
Then we come to Greenland.
Greenland’s mineral riches have been known about for some time. Foreign companies have tried to set up viable mining industries in Greenland for decades, with little to show for it. The US already has military bases in Greenland, following a defense agreement with Denmark. Besides the military angle of why the US needs Greenland, the region is endowed with large deposits of rare earths. Three of Greenland’s biggest deposits of rare-earth element — key to permanent magnets used in electric vehicles (EV) and wind turbines — are located in the southern province of Gardar. It also has graphite, copper, nickel, zinc, gold, diamonds, iron ore, titanium-vanadium, tungsten and uranium
As then-U.S. national security advisor Michael Waltz announced a year ago “This is about critical minerals. This is about natural resources.” Greenland is endowed with both fossil fuels and critical raw materials. It possesses at least 25 of the 34 raw materials considered critical for Europe. The value of these resources is hard to estimate as the prices of oil and critical raw materials fluctuate wildly. Like with Venezuela’s oil, it will take an enormous amount of money to build the infrastructure needed to mine the natural resources in Greenland. Mining and fossil fuel projects are capital-intensive, requiring large upfront investments with long lead times before projects yield profits. There is almost no road infrastructure in Greenland and limited deep-water ports for large tankers and container ships. Around the world, private mining and fossil fuel corporations can exploit public infrastructure such as roads, ports, power generation, housing and specialist workers to make their operations profitable. In Greenland, huge capital investment would be required to extract the first truckload of minerals and the first barrel of oil.
9 Washington
The world now is governed by strength, by force and power. Might is right. Russia, China, Iran and others will understand that international law is dead. It is time to be resolute and utterly hard-nosed, for risk is no longer thought through and critical thinking is absent. Risk abounds. This year will be remembered in history as being the most decisive since 1945. If both the US and Britain find that they are losing across the board – militarily, financial and geopolitical, then both parties will not hesitate to the use of nuclear weapons. Only time will tell. Our next article is called “The Talmudic Creeds hatred for mankind “. Stay tuned till then folks.
Being a citizen of Canada i find this article both enlightening and extraordinarily depressing. Canadians hate the American governments. We have hated them for over 200 years, just as many nations all over the globe hate them. It’s nothing against the citizens of America as they are just pawns like we are. Although many are so ignorant and brainwashed it’s difficult to find many of them endearing. However we have friendship and family ties across the border as the history is complicated. Canada has many reasons why it would not want to become part of the USA and most of them are valid. Canada is culturally polluted by the USA and yet we still try to resist their corrupting influence.
