US MILITARY SUPERIORITY

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

BELOW are excerpts from two different scourges as to how the raid to capture Manduro happened. Again not officially confirmed but I do trust one of the sources. If true, it is an example of the technology that is out there for our military. We always see the tech for our armed forces is far ahead of civilian uses. If true it would expose the Russian and or possibly China defense systems that are inadequate. We know how easy Iran’s defense systems were rendered useless last summer during the 12 day war.

This account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed.

Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn’t hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react.

Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack?

Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn’t look like anything we’ve fought against before.

Interviewer: And then the battle began?

Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed… it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn’t do anything.

Interviewer: And your own weapons? Didn’t they help?

Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn’t just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don’t know how to describe it… it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move.

Interviewer: And your comrades? Did they manage to resist?

Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I’ve never seen anything like it. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.

Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans?

Security Guard: Without a doubt. I’m sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they’re capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They’re not to be messed with.

Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America?

Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region. Source

Venezuela Air Defense

Venezuela from the Russian perspective

It is difficult to overstate the level of frustration across Russian social media over the American move in Venezuela. There is hardly a single Russian military blogger who has not addressed it. The reaction on the Russian side revolves around two main axes.

The first axis is dominated by frustration that, once again, Russian systems – especially Russian air-defense systems – were caught completely unprepared. Russian commentators complain that, once again, their allies proved incompetent and unable to properly operate the equipment they were given, making Russian hardware appear ineffective.

Added to this is concern over the geopolitical consequences: the Maduro regime was seen as a close ally of the Kremlin – and that ally is now gone. Another fear frequently raised is that once infrastructure is restored, the United States could impose a global oil price ceiling of roughly $50 per barrel due to its control over production in Venezuela.

The second axis is captured by the most common phrase circulating on Russian Telegram over the past week:

а что так можно?

“So… you can actually do that?”

Despite everything mentioned above, most of the Russian frustration stems from the fact that the Americans succeeded precisely where the Russians failed. Anger over the successful arrest of Maduro is almost always accompanied by sharp criticism of the Kremlin’s actions at the start of the war and Russia’s failed attempt to seize Kyiv.

Iran Updates

“If Iran shots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” – President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump, Maduro, Iran Protests, and America First – Please Read and Share This Short Analysis copied from Amir Tsarfati

President Trump’s America First policy is fundamentally different from the version promoted by commentators such as Tucker Carlson.

In Trump’s view, one cannot ignore the reality that foreign actors are actively undermining the United States. The 90-minute operation in the Venezuelan capital and its surrounding areas was not a war; therefore, Congress was neither informed nor asked to approve it. It was a law-enforcement action – a swift removal of a destabilizing domestic agitator.

Judging by the president’s own words, regime change was not the objective. Rather, the goal was a complete change in policy.

Three considerations were at the forefront, none of which had anything to do with Israel’s concerns regarding Venezuela. From Trump’s perspective, the issues were drugs, illegal immigration by criminals, and oil that was unjustly taken from American companies.

Trump’s priority is to keep America free of drugs and gangs while maintaining a strong, thriving economy. He did not remove Maduro because of his ties to Iran or Hezbollah – at least not according to his statements or those of his secretary of war. Any genuine regime change in Venezuela, he argues, must come from within, through free and non-fraudulent elections.

Now let’s turn to Iran.

The United States will not initiate a war with Iran simply because of internal unrest or popular protests. American intervention would occur only if the Iranian regime poses a direct threat to U.S. interests. In practical terms, threats against American allies, U.S. bases, or U.S. assets are the triggers that could lead the 47th president to authorize another round of B-2 operations over the skies of the Islamic Republic.

From Trump’s perspective, an Israeli strike could once again serve as the catalyst – not to pursue regime change, but to reinforce deterrence. A follow-on U.S. B-2 presence would signal unmistakably to Tehran that continued aggression, including the killing of its own civilians, carries severe consequences. The objective would be pressure, not overthrow: pushing the regime to halt repression and recalibrate its behavior.

Israel, however, does not have the luxury of waiting.

Israel cannot afford to watch the ayatollahs accumulate thousands of ballistic missiles while renewing their nuclear ambitions – all while already possessing roughly 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%.

Therefore, in my assessment, another round involving Iran is very close – literally around the corner. For Israel, it would be about removing existential threats. For Trump, it would be about restoring deterrence and forcing restraint.

Unfortunately, according to Scripture, Iran will come against Israel in the near future as part of an emerging coalition led by Russia. Until then, the regime will attempt to survive – waiting patiently for the end of Trump’s presidency, counting on the assumption that his successor’s worldview will be closer to that of Tucker Carlson.

(IMO). I totally concur, I don’t see us doing a regime change in Iran, however Israel will need to strike again and what happens after that is anyone’s guess.

On Venezuela, it’s more than just narco-terrorist there, Russia, China and Iran have interests there. Is there weaponry or launch capabilities in country?? Who knows, I am sure the US military knows. Exciting times to live in. I have been preaching about these days since I was a young man. Maranatha! Rh

Manduro Captured!!

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Latest reports: Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed indictments against Manduro and his wife with conspiracy to engage in drug-terror activities, conspiracy to import cocaine, weapons and other terror activities against the United States.

What happens next is the real problem, who takes over, what kind of government, can the people rise up and have democracy? All good questions. As in Iran people get tired of becoming slaves to dictators. Are you listening New York? You have made the same fatal mistake by electing a socialist-Marxist! Trump to have a press conference at 11 AM. Rh

And if you’re wondering why – below are the facts:

1. The Venezuelan regime nationalized and expropriated, without compensation, oil facilities belonging to American companies, and later refused to pay the billions of dollars in compensation awarded against it in World Bank arbitration.

2. Transferring management of Venezuela’s oil industry from private hands to the government triggered the collapse of the country’s economy even before U.S. sanctions, which merely accelerated the process.

3. In order to cope with the catastrophe it created, the Chávez–Maduro regime found a new ally: Iran.

4. Venezuela and Iran cooperate in the military sphere (including the development of drones) and in circumventing the international and American sanctions imposed on both.

5. Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro’s leadership is an active player in flooding the United States with hard drugs. Each year, more than 100,000 Americans die from drug overdoses.

6. According to the international community, Maduro lost the elections held in Venezuela and falsified his victory.

7. Maduro’s regime is a Bolshevik dictatorship that violently suppresses all opposition.

Attack on Venezuela Could Be Imminent, Trump to Designate the Maduro Drug Cartel a Terrorist Group

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Six international airlines have suspended flights to the Venezuelan capital of Caracas after the Federal Aviation Administration warned major airlines about a potentially hazardous situation in the skies over the South American nation. 

President Trump’s showdown with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro could enter a dramatic new phase as the drug cartel he’s accused of being linked to is expected to be officially designated as a foreign terrorist organization today.

A U.S. Navy carrier group and B-52 bombers have been operating off the Venezuelan coast, all aimed at Maduro, who the Trump Administration says is responsible for trafficking drugs into the U.S. 

President Trump says he’s not rejecting the possibility of putting U.S. troops on the ground in Venezuela, saying, “I don’t rule that out or anything. We just have to take care of Venezuela.”

Since September, the U.S. has launched at least 20 strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean Sea, killing more than 80 people, many of them from Venezuela.

Republican Congressman Michael McCaul of Texas believes those strikes and further military action against Venezuela are legal under Article Two of the Constitution.

“(The U.S. military) have been sent down on a mission to stop drugs from coming into the United States,” McCaul said on ABC. “And if that means, you know, taking out ships through our aircraft and our air force, then so be it.”

Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner told ABC that the Biden Administration should have addressed this problem.

“Maduro was a bad guy, frankly, under Biden,” Warner said. “When the Venezuelan people voted in overwhelming numbers, Biden should have put more pressure on getting Maduro out then. It was a mistake.”

But Kentucky Republican Senator Rand fears Trump’s focus on foreign intervention could cost him the part of his base that wants ‘America first,’ telling CBS, “I think once there’s an invasion of Venezuela…I think you’ll see a splintering and a fracturing of the movement that has supported the President.”

The Venezuelan leadership is reportedly frantic over fears the U.S. intends to remove Maduro from power. 

Meanwhile, a new CBS News poll shows most Americans want to know more from the president about what he plans to do, before they support military action. 

What are your thoughts on this military action in Venezuelan? Is it justified stopping drug cartels, or is there another underlying reason to act? I have always been one to say the US has to be the conscience of the world, but we must be careful in our military operations in other countries. Let me know? Rh

The Squad

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

After the past couple of days, I have been thinking about the 4 freshman congress women who are not only socialists, but are fund raising with terror linked groups, at least 2 of them are. Why would you openly say you love this country and then by your own words say it is racist and evil. You openly say you want to fundamentally change our culture and our way of life. We are evil and you, in your august wisdom have declared you have the way to utopia. Check it at the door ladies, this country is free and nothing you do or say will make that go away. But as I was thinking, the only reason they want to change us is so they can be in charge. See socialists don’t want what is good for all, they want what is good for them. THEY want to be in charge of it all. THEY want all the power to decide who is right and who is wrong. THEY want to be the ruling class while all us peons work and scrape out a menial existence. Check out every socialist country, it starts out sharing the wealth. Ends up like Venezuela. Violence, bloodshed, poverty, and starvation. By the way guns are always confiscated first. I agree with President Trump. You’re Americans now, love it or leave it.
