According to Reuters, under the State of Emergency ordered by the Venezuelan Government following the operation which resulted in the successful capture of President Nicolás Maduro, military and security forces are directed to “immediately begin the national search and capture of everyone involved in the promotion or support for the armed attack” by the United States.

That’s a very broad directive. And why do I suspect Trump doesn’t have the iron grip in Venezuela he thinks he does.

Or is he playing golf?

The president against remote work has been at his house in Florida for 3 weeks.

Speaking today with the Danish broadcaster TV2, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that if President Donald J. Trump were to launch a military attack against Greenland, it would mean the end of NATO. “I believe one should take the American president seriously when he says that he wants Greenland,” Frederiksen said, “But I will also make it clear that if the U.S. chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, including NATO and thus the security that has been established since the end of the Second World War.”

I can’t be the only one who thinks the White House sees that as a feature, not a bug.

Fox Host: If you can… take advantage of the oil, that is real positive. It could affect the war in Ukraine. Russia is banking on the oil it's getting. If you can bring oil prices down, by getting this oil… pic.twitter.com/LNMvFtBCmT

It's because the price of oil is down that you won’t get Venezuela’s oil to…lower the price of oil.  You wouldn’t think this was rocket science, but somehow…🚀

Rick Scott: "I'm glad the president didn't just take Maduro and walk away. I'm glad that he's committed to freedom and democracy in Venezuela. Now, I can't tell you how they're going to get there ... " pic.twitter.com/VoTdCfIcJ4

Hegseth: Maduro got to meet some great Americans wearing night vision goggles three nights ago. He didn't know they were coming until three minutes before they arrived. In fact, his wife said, I think I hear aircraft outside. They didn't know. You know why? Because every single part of that chain did their job, and they did it flawlessly.

The oil companies certainly kept quiet. Congress simply didn’t know.

I will have my staff contact Chevron to receive my HFAC briefings from now on. https://t.co/FvVjvPPOZl
