A reconnaissance team has been dispatched to assess local conditions, including challenging weather, in coordination with Denmark, the mission lead.

US Invited To Greenland Military Exercises: Danish General To AFP, is a fascinating situation, unfolding with a subtle dance of diplomacy and military posturing. The fact that Denmark, a nation with a considerably smaller military, is extending this invitation is a clever maneuver, playing on the existing geopolitical landscape.
The essence of the move lies in its strategic brilliance. It’s a calculated move that places the United States in a precarious position. If the US declines the invitation, it directly contradicts its own publicly stated stance on the strategic importance of Greenland. This would undermine the narrative, particularly the one previously championed by certain political figures, that Greenland is critical for US national security.… Continue reading
Following increasing threats from US President Trump to take control of Greenland, European nations are mobilizing troops to the Arctic island. Denmark initiated the increased military presence, with Germany and France subsequently announcing their troop deployments, joining Sweden in the operation. These actions are in response to Trump’s claims that Greenland is vital for US security and his repeated expressions of interest in acquiring the territory. Danish officials have strongly opposed the US’s intentions, emphasizing the importance of respecting Greenland’s autonomy and territorial integrity.

The New York Times reported that a US military aircraft was allegedly disguised as a civilian plane during a September strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat. This action raises concerns of a potential war crime, as the concealment of military insignia and weaponry could constitute an act of “perfidy” under international law. The report suggests the aircraft lacked military markings and swooped low enough for the targets to see it. The article further details the September 2nd attack, including the possibility of a “double tap” strike, and discusses subsequent boat strikes that were conducted with clearly marked military aircraft.

Analysis of videos from the US operation in Caracas, Venezuela in January 2026 reveals that several Russian-made Buk-M2 air defense systems were either disconnected from radar or stored at the time of the attack. These systems, stationed at locations like La Guaira and La Carlota air base, were unprepared for the US strikes, with some destroyed during deployment. The New York Times reports, based on US officials, that the systems may not have been operational for years, potentially due to lack of Russian maintenance, which may have been diverted to the war in Ukraine or part of a strategic agreement with the US. This suggests that Venezuela’s air defenses were caught off guard despite months of warnings.

During a recent television interview, former U.S. President Donald Trump indicated the U.S. would begin striking drug cartels on land in Mexico, asserting that these groups effectively control the country. He noted the U.S. has significantly curbed drug trafficking by sea and will now concentrate on land routes. This follows comments from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who firmly rejected any U.S. military action within Mexico’s borders, emphasizing Mexico’s sovereignty. Sheinbaum stated Mexico would only collaborate with the U.S. on security matters while respecting its independence and territorial integrity.

The fact that this was a bipartisan effort, with Democrats and a small number of Republicans joining forces, speaks volumes about the level of concern in the Senate.… Continue reading
Following the seizure of Nicolás Maduro by US forces, interim president Delcy Rodríguez has removed General Javier Marcano Tábata, the commander of the presidential honor guard. This action comes after the honor guard, which provides bodyguards for the head of state, was allegedly involved in the events that led to Maduro’s capture. Rodríguez, who replaced Maduro, has taken steps to replace high-ranking officials in Maduro’s inner circle, including replacing Marcano Tábata with Gustavo González López, former head of Venezuela’s national intelligence service. Analysts suggest the dismissal is linked to the guard’s failure to prevent Maduro’s capture, amidst reports of casualties among the guard and potential involvement of Cuban nationals.
