US Elections (& Politics) :)

Some estimate 600,000 deportations and another 1.9 million "self-deportations" in 2025. Who knows? Not massive at all after just one year? How hard could it be to relocate 57,000 Greenlanders. LOL

Unlike previous administrations, Trump’s DHS has not released monthly deportation data and has instead been forced to disclose figures through FOIA requests.

While DHS issued a press release claiming that annual deportations topped 600,000, that figure includes individuals turned away or apprehended at the border.

According to UCLA FOIA data, there have been roughly 350,000 deportations since Jan. 20, 2025, a sum that doesn’t include individuals removed without a prior ICE arrest, such as those encountered by Border Patrol at the southern border.

The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, through a separate FOIA request, reported that approximately 234,000 people were deported from the interior of the country between January and September 2025 under the Trump administration.

Venezuela announces first oil revenues from US​


The Venezuelan government has confirmed that revenue from oil sales has begun to flow in. The announcement was made Tuesday by interim president Delcy Rodríguez during a social outreach event in the La Vega neighborhood of Caracas. Rodríguez reported that $300 million of the initial $500 million expected from these sales has already been received. She explained that these funds will be used to cover and finance the income of the country’s workers.

The new president indicated that the objective of using these resources is to protect the purchasing power of Venezuelans against inflation and to mitigate the effects of exchange rate fluctuations. She also noted that the initial funds will be channeled through the national exchange market, via public banks and the Central Bank of Venezuela, with the aim of stabilizing the market and, consequently, safeguarding the income of the working class.

Oil remains Venezuela’s most important economic resource and a central element in the current diplomatic dynamic with the United States, following the capture of Nicolás Maduro by U.S. special forces troops on January 3. The country possesses the world’s largest known reserves, but its production and exports have been severely hampered by mismanagement, deteriorating infrastructure, and years of sanctions, which have reduced its operational capacity. Although Venezuela maintains markets such as China for its crude, the new interim administration led by Rodríguez has been forced by Donald Trump to reorient energy negotiations toward Washington.

 


indeed the USA Military and Economy are super strong, .. yet recall the British Empire was extremely strong until WWI and WWII knocked it down, allowing the USA to ascend to the throne

Best for the USA to not engage in unnecessary wars if possible if it wishes to remain on the throne.

I see no reason for the USA to engage in battle with anyone from the EU / Nato .. nor the UK, nor the allies in Asia
