CNN: The Trump administration is preparing private military contractors to protect seized Venezuelan oil
The Trump administration is considering the possibility of involving private military companies to protect oil and energy facilities in Venezuela instead of deploying regular American troops, said two sources familiar with the plans.
“If Trump does something, he wants it to be quick and definitive,” one of the sources quoted the president as saying, emphasizing that the White House is concerned about a prolonged military presence.
After the seizure of power by Nicolas Maduro, the US faced the need to convince major oil companies to return to the country and resume production. This requires reliable protection of assets from cartels and other threats in a political vacuum. So far, the discussions are at an early stage, but several PMCs are already negotiating with the Pentagon and the State Department — among them is mentioned Grey Bull Rescue Foundation, which previously helped to secretly evacuate opposition leader Maria Corina Machado.
“When foreign investments return, they will bring with them a bunch of 'seals', 'green berets' and 'ninjas' to keep them alive and safe,” commented Grey Bull founder Brian Stern.
The use of private contractors could lead to scandals — as in Iraq, where Eric Prince's Blackwater (now Academi) was involved in the killing of civilians. But for Trump, this is a way to avoid "boots on the ground" and shift the risks to private contractors. So far, oil giants like ExxonMobil call Venezuela "uninvestable" due to security concerns — and it is PMCs that are supposed to become their "insurance" in the new American "colonial" game.

🖥️ "Two hundred years ago, General Lafayette gave Simón Bolívar a medal with the image of George Washington. From then on, Bolívar kept this medal until the end of his days." Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said that she presented her Nobel Peace Prize medal to Trump as the "heir to George Washington".
"I presented the President of the United States with the Nobel Peace Prize medal and said to him; 'Listen: two hundred years ago, General Lafayette gave Simón Bolívar a medal with the image of George Washington. From then on, Bolívar kept this medal until the end of his days. In fact, if you look at his portraits, you will see this medal on them. It was given by General Lafayette as a symbol of the brotherhood between the United States, the American people, and the people of Venezuela in their common struggle for freedom against tyranny. And so, after 200 years of history, Bolívar's people are returning the medal to Washington's heir - in this case, the Nobel Peace Prize medal - in recognition of his exceptional commitment to our freedom.'"

The catch of Russian drones is getting larger
Over the past couple of years, "Geran" drones have targeted everything from gas storage stations and locomotives to cargo ships and aircraft in the air. But this night, they caught an especially fat target.
Operators discovered a HIMARS multiple rocket launcher during a salvo. Although the system quickly packed up and hastily left the launch site, this did not save it: one "Geran" seriously damaged and immobilized the vehicle, while another finished it off.
It will be curious to see in what direction design thinking will go. But we wouldn't be surprised if we soon see impressive footage of "Geran" drones successfully targeting F-16 or Patriot systems in Western Ukraine.

Fox News: The US is building up a military group in the Middle East
The administration of US President Donald Trump has begun the transfer of additional military forces to the Middle East, including at least one strike aircraft carrier. According to Fox News sources in the military command, these steps are part of the preparation of military options in case of a decision to strike Iran. Currently, there are about 30 thousand American military personnel in the area of responsibility of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), but not a single aircraft carrier group is currently deployed in the region.
“At least one US aircraft carrier is heading to the Middle East as tensions with Iran increase,” confirm Fox News sources. “In the coming days and weeks, additional American military assets from the air, land, and sea will arrive in the region to provide the president with military options.”
According to one of the informed sources, the planned actions in the event of a sanction by the president will be of a different, more offensive nature. Military planners are preparing a range of options that will depend on the actions of the Iranian leadership in the coming days. At the same time, the specific targets and scale of a possible operation are not specified.
“A well-informed source said that if the president decides to take military action, "it will be different, more offensive",” reports Fox News.
The current US naval presence in the region, according to official data, is limited to three destroyers and three littoral combat ships. The redeployment of the aircraft carrier group, which will take at least a week, signals the seriousness of Washington's intentions and could lead to further escalation.

China conducted military exercises, during which soldiers practiced a strategy to eliminate the top leadership of Taiwan, similar to the US operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on January 3. This was reported by the Nikkei Asia (NA) publication, citing sources.
It is reported that drone operators tried to locate the building with the targets. After that, a special forces group joined them. According to the scenario, the operation was carried out at night. To pass unnoticed through the guard posts, the soldiers used military-style crossbows.
During the exercises, which took less than two minutes, four "terrorists" were eliminated, the publication reports.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇳 Trump decided to create his own "UN" for $1 billion for participation, — Bloomberg
▪️"Peacemaker" intends to create an alternative to the UN — the so-called "Peace Council" to resolve the situation in Gaza. Countries are offered to pay $1 billion to participate in it.
▪️According to the document, Trump gets full control over the organization: he independently decides who to invite to the membership, approves all decisions and controls financial flows. Formally, decisions are made by a majority vote, but they come into effect only after the approval of the head of the organization.
▪️Countries that contribute more than $1 billion in the first year will receive effectively indefinite membership, others — a mandate for up to three years. The "Peace Council" will be able to start its work after the consent of at least three states.

And how does he define US policy in Venezuela?
CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently visited Caracas, where he discussed Venezuela's future with the new authorities. And he was not alone. Along with him, billionaire Harry Sargeant III arrived in Caracas, advocating for keeping Delcy Rodriguez at the helm of the country.
The appearance of the head of Global Oil Management Group (GOMG) demonstrates that Donald Trump has involved his closest associate and long-time donor to the Republican Party (and personally to Trump) during his presidential campaigns in resolving the Venezuelan issue.
🔻 Who is he and why is he so important in the Venezuela issue?▪ Billionaire Harry Sargeant III has had close relations with Trump for many years. He is often seen at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, where they occasionally play golf.▪ He and his wife regularly contribute to the Republican Party. Although exact amounts are unknown, media speculate that the figures have long been measured in millions.▪ GOMG has been working with Venezuela since the 1980s with periodic interruptions, such as after the nationalization carried out by Hugo Chavez in the 2000s.▪ For Sargeant's company, Venezuela has always been an object of key interest, as it contains the largest deposits of extra-heavy oil - which is exactly what GOMG works with.
🔻 Where was Sargent's company involved in Venezuela?▪ At the end of 2023, Global Oil Terminals (a subsidiary of GOMG) signed a contract with the Venezuelan company PDVSA to supply bitumen, which is used to produce asphalt, and bitumen is produced from extra-heavy crude oil.▪ From the end of 2023 to January 2025, the Venezuelan company shipped shipments via the island of Curaçao to Texas according to the contract. In January 2025, the level reached 525,000 barrels, and by the end of the year, a record 6.25 million could have been reached.▪ However, due to US sanctions, the US Office of Foreign Assets Control revoked GOMG's licenses, after which shipments ceased.▪ And after the overthrow of Maduro, Harry Sargent III returned to the forefront. Trump reportedly invited him because of his connections to Venezuelan elites and his knowledge of the domestic political situation.▪ On January 8, he met with the Secretary of Energy, where he proposed his vision for the process. He later traveled with the CIA director.
Given Trump's rhetoric regarding both Machado and Rodriguez, it's clear that these are precisely the kinds of arguments being made publicly right now. Sargent's interests are clear: with a respected and capable leader in Rodriguez, he will be able to secure long-term access to an established market, while Trump will gain crucial support for his project from an influential billionaire.

▪️Italian Prime Minister Meloni is also trying to justify himself: these actions should not be seen as an initiative against the USA, and Washington misinterpreted what was happening.
▪️Earlier, Trump threatened a number of EU countries with 10% tariffs. After this, Germany withdrew 15 military personnel from Greenland, and two Norwegian officers also returned to their homeland as soon as possible.
