It’s a game-changer for U.S. travel. We talked about it with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

In October 2023 the USA LIFTED SANCTIONS for a 6 month period in exchange for Venezuela agreeing to a Fair & Equal Presidential Election in 2024. The Election date has been set for 28th July 2024 however the existing President Nicolas Maduro has BANNED his main rival and also prevented her proposed replacement from running. As a direct result the USA has re-instated the SANCTIONS against Venezuela. In this video I provide more details on the current situation and discuss what is likely to happen in Venezuela in the next 6 to 12 months.

GAME CHANGER! Ukraine REVEALS "KRONOS" SUBMARINE. NATO 10x SUPPORT. Putin LOST WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY - The Russian Dude 12:11
One of Russian villages decided to install a NATO headquarters. But not exactly what you think. NATO and its partners skyrocketed the support to Ukraine. But Ukraine also develops their own military industries. And recently, they revealed brand new "Kronos" submarine slash drone. As a result of mostly these things, Putin is rapidly losing his "window of opportunity". But will NATO actually send its troops to Ukraine?
