January 16, 2026 🇻🇪 #VENEZUELA

🇺🇸🇻🇪 Today, three aircraft landed in Caracas within just a few hours:
⏺ An LM-100J Super Hercules belonging to Pallas Aviation, a company affiliated with the CIA. This same aircraft previously visited the Venezuelan capital on January 10.
⏺ A Dassault Falcon 2000 operated by Erebus LLC.
⏺ A DHC-8-300 (Dash 8-300) belonging to the U.S. State Department (with a stopover in Curaçao). A department delegation had previously arrived in Caracas on this aircraft on January 9.

Is this merely about the reopening of the #US Embassy in Caracas, or is there more to it? Is Venezuela no longer a "pariah" but rather a "gas station" for the "Golden Dome"?
For context: Lattice OS (Anduril) is the very system that manages the "Golden Dome."


💰🇺🇸 The cost of the "Trump-class" battleship, the construction of which was announced on December 23, 2025, will cost the U.S. between $15 and $22 billion. This would make it one of the most expensive U.S. warships in history — Bloomberg.

⏺ For comparison: An Arleigh Burke-class Flight III destroyer currently costs about $2.5 billion; a Nimitz-class nuclear carrier costs around $10 billion, and its successor, the Gerald R. Ford, costs $13 billion.
➡️ Thus, by the most negative estimates, a single "Trump" could be traded for either 9 destroyers, 2 aircraft carriers, or a small Carrier Strike Group (CSG) consisting of 1 aircraft carrier and 4 escort destroyers.
Some analysts express concern that these battleships may never move beyond blueprints and "R&D money pits."

Editorial Note: The Trump-class battleship is a floating platform for Lattice OS. The price tag is driven not by armor, but by the quantum computing core and directed energy systems (lasers/microwaves). It is a mobile hub for the "Golden Dome," capable of single-handedly sealing the skies over an entire country. That explains the cost.
Fact check: The "USS Trump" has already been officially laid down at the Newport News shipyards.


😎👏 Major update: CIA Director John Ratcliffe met with Delsy Rodriguez, the interim President of Venezuela, in Caracas on Thursday.
"The parties discussed intelligence cooperation, economic stability, and the need to ensure the country is no longer a 'safe haven for America's adversaries, especially drug traffickers'" — NYT, WP, CNN, Reuters, The Guardian


🇷🇺⚔️🇲🇩 SUDDENLY: Russian military channels and aggregators reported at 5 PM Moscow time that the "Russian Foreign Ministry strongly recommends all Russian citizens leave Moldova urgently." The reason cited is alleged "discrimination against Russian citizens" in Moldova (a predictable pretext).
Is this another bluff, or is the Kremlin truly planning a move toward Europe? #Romania is a #NATO country. If the latter is true, one must ask: with what forces?

Mathematics of Retribution
Too good is also bad: #Iran and the Shadow of #Venezuela

❗️🇺🇸🇻🇪 Trump made the decision to launch the operation in Iran based on the success of the cleanly executed operation in Venezuela.

"What we did in Venezuela, I think, is the perfect scenario."

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM has updated the casualty figures among U.S. service members — currently, four have died as a result of Iranian bombardments of American military bases in the Middle East.

"TAMPA, Fla. – As of 7:30 am ET, March 2, four U.S. service members have been killed in action. The fourth service member, who was seriously wounded during Iran’s initial attacks, eventually succumbed to their injuries," the statement reads.

"The identities of the fallen are being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification."

⚡️☠️🇺🇸 Trump says there "will be more" American casualties in the war against Iran: "But we will avenge."

“And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That's the way it is. Likely be more, but we'll do everything possible where that won't be the case.”

“But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against civilization."

“We grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives”, and Trump called for prayers (for the "full recovery" of the seriously wounded, The Guardian reports).

❗️After calls for prayer, Trump ignored shouted questions about Iran war and U.S. casualties and instead pointed reporters toward new statues in the Rose Garden.

“Unbelievable statues, come take a look at them.”

#US vs. #IRAN #War
🌎 EVENTS and FACTS

➡️ What politicians and military say:

🇮🇱 IDF Spokesperson: We have eliminated over 1,900 Iranian regime combatants.
#Israel plans to boost its defense budget by ~$13 billion to bankroll the war with Iran — Bloomberg.

🇱🇧⏺Human Rights Watch: Israel dropped white phosphorus munitions on the Lebanese city of Yahmor on March 3.

⚡️UNICEF: Since March 2, at least 83 children have been killed and 254 injured in Lebanon amid the Israel-Hezbollah escalation. That's an average of 10+ kids killed and 36 injured daily.

⚡️🇨🇦 An unidentified gunman opened fire on the US consulate in Toronto — Reuters.

⚡️🇺🇸 Boeing Secures $289 Million Contract to Supply Israel with Up to 5,000 Smart Bombs


🇺🇸 Trump:

"If we had waited three days, I think they would have attacked us."

➡️ Putin after the invasion of Ukraine in 2022: "If we hadn't attacked them, they would have attacked us in 3 days."

🇺🇸☎️ 🇷🇺 Agent Krasnov reported on his chat with his Kremlin handler regarding the Iran op's successes:
"Putin was impressed by our operation in Iran. He told me he had never seen anything like it before."
Now he just needs to share the joy with Kim Jong-un... and Adolf.

🇷🇺🫡 "Putin assured Trump that Russia is not providing Iran with data for strikes on US facilities," — Vitkoff (CNBC).

"Yesterday, during a conversation with the president, the Russians stated that they had not shared intelligence data. We can take them at their word."

➡️ So the CIA, Pentagon, and WP are lying to the WH? The audacity! And apparently, the Iranian Foreign Ministry is lying too, despite publicly confirming Russian and Chinese assistance...

🇺🇸🇷🇺🛢Trump:

"We are lifting some sanctions on Russian oil to drive down prices. Just until the situation is resolved..."

⚡️ John Bolton:

"Trump is manipulating the stock markets; we know that oil prices have risen sharply."

🇩🇪 German Chancellor Merz:

"From our perspective — and mine personally — there is zero justification for easing sanctions on Russia. If forced to choose between sanctions and solidarity, our stance is clear: we stand with Ukraine. We are deeply concerned by the apparent lack of any coherent plan to end this war swiftly and decisively."

🕔💰The Strait of Hormuz remains sealed off to all shipping for a second week.
Commercial vessels are stranded on both sides due to missile and drone threats.

🪖 General Dan Caine:

"CENTCOM continues to strike the Iranian Navy and its capabilities to ensure sustained movement through the Strait of Hormuz. We will keep hitting their minelaying vessels."

⚡️📝 Iran has already started mining the Strait of Hormuz — CBS.
