‘Man without a plan: Trump is an old man who is flailing about, doesn’t see the limits of his power and doesn’t know what the hell he is doing’ – Cameron Macgregor, entrepreneur, investor, YouTuber.

That’s the gist of Trump’s reckless seizure of the Venezuelan president from Cameron Macgregor on the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’. He says Trump came to power with three promises: 1) End endless wars—failed. 2) Trim government spending—brought in Musk, who left while the US is still in the red. 3) Reindustrialise America - tried tariffs and sanctions, but no dice. Instead of focusing on domestic challenges, he’s now fixated on foreign escapades. The US claims to be in control of Venezuela, but as Macgregor quips, ‘We’re operating blindly.’ And in Ukraine, Trump’s supposed ‘one phone call’ solution remains just talk; he’s acting aggressively and losing support at home for straying from American interests. A way to boost his reputation? Publicity stunts. And that’s exactly what Venezuela and Greenland are for Trump.

As our hopes for a peaceful year fade within days, we also dive deeper into US and Ukrainian actions towards Moscow and how Russia is responding. Curious about Russia’s hypersonic messages to the West?
