I believe they want either troops or mercenaries guarding their equipment.

Theory: I believe #Nigeria 🇳🇬 was a test for #Trump to the world.

While Nigeria 🇳🇬 opted to work with #America 🇺🇸, Mexico 🇲🇽 has refused to allow the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 to launch missiles into their territory.

👉🏾 Trump suggests U.S. military will hit cartels on ‘land’ in Mexico https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/09/trump-us-military-cartels-mexico-land.html

If there is weak push back from the world, I suspect Trump will target #Cuba 🇨🇺 next, which will be a mini test for taking #Greenland 🇬🇱 this year in 2026 (yes, I seriously think Trump will invade).

@martinlentink Yeah, that is why I advocated using verified IDs, as I am not sure if someone can pay 𝕏 using a gift card.

Good! I would have advocated this being limited to verified ID users, but this is a good start.

@carnage4life I think it is due to Apple allegedly backing away from banning 𝕏 years ago (like they did with Tumblr when a similar incident occurred).

For what it is worth, there are very few guardrails on Grok when it comes to image & video generation.

@futurebird @billiglarper Another thing I have noticed is that many AI’s are programmed with a personality.

Google Gemini comes across as a helpful, but informative butler, providing reasonable answers but scared to discuss anything too controversial.

Grok (on 𝕏) is like a snarky best friend, who is intelligent but wild & has no issues embracing taboos or breaking the law.

Couple the fact that 𝕏 also has those flirtatious companies (ewwwww!!!!) & this “AI is your soulmate” becomes an issue.

Lots of remote roles at @wikimediafoundation where they're looking for software engineers, SREs, database admins, security types, people roles and more.

I am now convinced that most political leaders on Earth are terrified of #Trump.

👉🏾 US will be exempt from global tax deal targeting profits of large multinationals | Global economy https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/06/us-exemption-oecd-global-tax-deal-multinational-companies

Yes, this benefits #America 🇺🇸, as the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 will become the preferred place to do business for tax reasons.

As an American 🇺🇸, I am baffled why nations would intentionally make their locations unfavorable for companies.

🤔 #Denmark 🇩🇰 has three realistic options regarding #Greenland 🇬🇱:

☝🏾 Bend over for #DonaldTrump, & watch him ravish Greenland 🇬🇱

✌🏾 Fight a losing war with the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸, see the collapose of #NATO, with #Russia 🇷🇺 launching drones, missiles & jets into #Europe

🤟🏾 Request ten 🙌🏾 nuclear ☢️ bombs 💣 from France 🇫🇷 & the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 for defense from 🎃👑

With the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 officially embracing The Monroe Doctrine (by President James Monroe in 1823) & unofficially embracing the Roosevelt Corollary (by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1904), it would be wise for nations within the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 (& #Europe overall) to seek out alternatives in the next 3 years (if not sooner).

After Maduro, who's next? Trump spurs speculation about his plans for Greenland, Cuba and Colombia 🔛 @darnell@flipboard.com 📰 https://apnews.com/article/trump-venezuela-greenland-cuba-571aac35e259857fd512c46f5af11e4d?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user/AssociatedPress

Props to Ed Conway from Sky News for this video in December. After watching this video, it makes sense why the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 was looking for an excuse to conquer #Venezuela 🇻🇪. It also makes sense why #Trump was threatening #Canada 🇨🇦 too.

👉🏾 The Real Reason Venezuela 🇻🇪 Matters https://youtu.be/Pgwny1BiCYk

Basically #America 🇺🇸 had three options to secure the heavy crude oil they need. Attack #Russia 🇷🇺, & risk a global nuclear war, attack Canada 🇨🇦 & risk the end of #NATO, or conquer Venezuela 🇻🇪.

Wow. #Trump threatened the leader of #Colombia 🇨🇴.

I guess #Iran 🇮🇷 & Colombia 🇨🇴 are next on the attack list.

@schnedan I am just stating what Trump said. I do think elections will return, but Trump will probably approve who runs.

I am still watching the #Trump press conference. Things worthy of note:

👉🏾 #Venezuela 🇻🇪 will be a vassal state of #America 🇺🇸 until democratic elections begins

👉🏾 Trump has threatened other dictators around the world

👉🏾 The Monroe Doctrine is back. This should make the #UnitedKingdom 🇬🇧 nervous (#UK 🇬🇧 & #Argentina 🇦🇷 have a dispute over some territory)

👉🏾 Oil companies will regain properties they held before (their investment in Trump paid off)

👉🏾 Lots of military flexing https://one.darnell.one/@darnell/115832053965322655

So, when is #Trump going to hold this press conference‽ It was suppose to be at 11 AM! He is late! I need to know if #America 🇺🇸 will be conducting a full war in #Venezuela 🇻🇪.

Also #Colombia 🇨🇴 too (he threatened to capture the President there, after Venezuela 🇻🇪). I have colleagues from the region who this will affect.

@aj Not yet, but US special forces (Delta Force—a very elite group) along with the CIA have been active in the country for the past several days (if not weeks or months). There were reports of large explosions, which I suspect was from the Air Force.

Also, Presidents (even Trump) usually do not lie when it comes to announcing the deaths or captures of heads of state, as it is considered an act of war (so claims are taken seriously).

Did the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 just overthrow the government of #Venezuela 🇻🇪‽

👉🏾 The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country. This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/115830428767897167

I guess #Trump will be receiving someone else’s Nobel Peace Prize in the near future (yes, I am serious).

@alan @sundogplanets Abject failure is an understatement. I witnessed multiple news organizations not only surrender to the President after posting facts to the public, but also pay Trump millions of dollars as an “apology” from their corporate owners.

I just stopped subscribing to all media (money wise), & now I am watching the chaos unfold around me. It is sad.
