Mike Benz examines the shift from soft power to hard power in American foreign policy and diplomacy.
This analysis explores the changing roles of the Department of Defense, State Department and the CIA, highlighting how recent geopolitical strategies influence governance and international relations in countries like Venezuela, Iraq and Ukraine.
Benz is a former State Department official, who now heads his own non-profit called the Foundation for Freedom Online.
Why is the death toll so high in Venezuela? Turns out much of the rubble consists of substandard apartment buildings, built by the Socialist Hugo Chavez regime, and underwritten by the Communist Chinese as part of its Belt and Road initiative.
So we’re seeing once again just how cheap and shoddy workmanship under socialist regimes accelerates damages when there’s something like a destructive earthquake.
Let this serve as yet another lesson for the braindead commies — like those young whippersnappers in New York City — pushing Zohran Mamdani and his ugly sidekicks. We doubt they’ll learn — they never do. But still, best the understand root causes. Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.
South America used to be a leftist doormat. Now there are more nations governed by conservatives than by leftists. What happened?
The rotten CIA and its leftist buddies in United States lost access to USAIDs, so they no longer had millions of dollars to sink into South America political campaigns. There also have been a series of truly creative and original conservative leaders, who have become dominant from Argentina to Colombia, and including Chile, Peru and Ecuador.
Soon, maybe even Venezuela will turn, along with Brazil, ripped off by the left in an election that most certainly appeared fraudulent. So much of what happens on the left is fake and phony. We’re entering difficult economic times, and no nation can count on the left to approach the future squarely. Here’s more from he liberal Hivemind.
Now that a presumptive peace has been negotiated with Iran, President Donald Trump can turn to the biggest battle of his career: To restore free and fair elections, not only here in the United States, but also in more than 70 nations abroad. That’s the word from conspiracy theorist Juan O’Savin, who spells out the new challenges awaiting Trump in his latest fight ahead.
O’Savin estimates as many as 70 nations have had their elections muddied and/or stolen by agents associated with Communist China. This network has included operatives linked to Venezuela, Cuba and assorted nations in Europe, notably Serbia. O’Savin tells John Michael Chambers how Trump will attempt to end the monkey business once and for all.
Obviously, the dirty Democrats will squawk, as they have been beneficiaries of most of the election fraud and cheating. if the subterfuge can be controlled — and that remains to be seen — will Republicans build commanding leads in the U.S. House and Senate for the midterms?
There’s only a few months remaining. O’Savin lays out the risks still on the table, as well as a few of the clean-up procedures we could still see. He also talks about Free Masons, Albert Pike, Lucifer and their globalist allies. Here’s more from Prophetic Word Today Ministries.
President Donald Trump says U.S. forces carried out a strike that killed Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores.
Also known as Niño Guerrero, he’s the leader of Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua.
The lethal strike occurred inside Venezuela. Syakir Jasnee reports for Reuters.
The USS Nimitz and its aerial strike force have arrived in the Caribbean Sea just as the U.S. Department of Justice issues indictments against Raul Castro, charging him with murder in the deaths of four Americans during a shootout in 1996.
The Americans had been involved in the group Brothers to the Rescue that worked to aid Cubans fleeing Castro. Will the Nimitz pound Cuba? Will Castro be arrested, same as happened to the Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro?
The Democratic Party continues its downward spiral, heading straight into the trash can. Carol Swain, a former Vanderbilt University professor and staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, testified before the U.S. House on how the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has bamboozled the media with its witch hunts against conservatives.
Swain charged that the SPLC and related groups placed provocateurs outside the U.S. Capitol who manipulated protesters during the Jan. 6 2021 takeover. In other words, it wasn’t at all a conservative uprising, but largely a staged event orchestrated by the far left. Pray! Here’s more from And We Know.
The [Deep State] is panicking/ President Donald Trump is dismantling their armies, money making and protection system worldwide.
In the end, the [Deep State] will not be able to function. The [Deep State] lost one critical part of their system: The U.S. military. Trump controls it now.
Every time, the Democrats and RINOs lose, seats they are losing their power. In the end, the Democratic party will cease to exist or at least no longer exist in the way we know them today.
Trump has all the leverage. He has been collecting data on the [Deep State] by using Space Force. Here’s more from the X22 Report.
Socialists want more government control over the economy.
But you can’t plan innovation.
“Always trying to find new things,” says Steve Forbes, “that’s how you get a higher standard of living.”
Here, John Stossel offers his take on why capitalism is the ONLY system that works.
