Every nation and people should be asking this question. The answer is that anything you are doing that interfaces with US tech is a weapon being used against you.
US services are a noose around your neck that will be exploited to enslave you.
This will only get worse.

Forget about CBS and WaPo knowing a couple of hours early about Trump’s illegal attacks on Venezuela.
Oil execs apparently knew a shit ton 10 DAYS AGO, according to this Politico article. Likely enough to know it was going to happen soon. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

I hope the 5 Eyes are now 4 Eyes and NATO recognizes the US is no longer an ally.
This isn’t just war in Venezuela.
Ukraine’s war is Europe’s war, requiring her sons and daughters, not just her munitions.
Israel takes on all its neighbors.
China goes for Taiwan and North Korea for South Korea.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Stop using Trump’s words.
He didn’t “capture” anybody.
He illegally kidnapped the leader of a foreign country and his wife.
As did everyone in this operation’s chains of command.
I didn’t have much faith in our military‘s ability to stand up to illegal orders to begin with.
I have zip now.

That this is happening to anyone regardless of their citizenship is unacceptable.
If it’s only unacceptable when it happens to “**American citizens**,” it’s not the ”madness” you care about, not innocent, scapegoated victims you care about.
You just don’t want it to happen to people like you.

This is happening to **American citizens** right now.
And by now, those still looking away are complicit in this madness.
Shout.
Get angry.
Make noise.
Write/call your representatives.
Because silence is no longer acceptable.

Long thread, but worth it.
Specifically worth it for the explanation that once the US became a net exporter of oil, the only people who benefit from more drilling are oil producers. Not US consumers.
“Drill, baby, drill” is Trump for ”Fuck your climate, I’ve got Big Oil lining my pockets.”

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

“The Sand Pebbles” is a great look at what happens when a military unit offloads its operational and maintenance responsibilities onto others in order to focus its energy into “warfighting” efforts.

Lavrov’s claims that Moldova and the Baltics “discriminate” against Russians are straight from the Kremlin’s old invasion playbook.
ISW warns this could be part of a new Russian buildup targeting NATO countries.
