🇻🇪❗️ — The Venezuelan diaspora has surpassed 8 million people worldwide, becoming one of the largest displacement crises on the planet

1. 🇨🇴 | Colombia: 2,810,358

3. 🇺🇸 | United States: 759,664

10. 🇲🇽 | Mexico: 106,015

➡️ What began as an exodus concentrated in neighboring countries has transformed into a sustained global phenomenon, reshaping communities in Latin America, North America, and Europe.

➡️ Years of economic collapse, political repression, and institutional deterioration have forced millions of Venezuelans to rebuild their lives abroad. Recent data compiled by Geopolaris shows that the largest Venezuelan communities are in Colombia, Peru, the United States, Spain, Brazil, and Chile.

💥 Although departures have slowed compared to the peak years between 2017 and 2023, the total number of Venezuelans abroad continues to grow in countries such as Chile, Peru, the United States, Brazil, and Spain, driven by secondary migration and long-term settlement processes. In contrast, Colombia, Ecuador, and Argentina show signs of stabilization or moderate increases linked to their registration systems.

⚠️ It is worth noting that many countries have not yet published updated figures for 2024 and 2025, so current totals likely underestimate the true magnitude of the displacement.

🇺🇸❌🇩🇰🇬🇱🇺🇸 — 📰 ZeroHedge | The End Of NATO? | January 6, 2026:

"The Monroe Doctrine, proclaimed by U.S. President James Monroe in 1823, asserted American influence in the Western Hemisphere at a time when newly independent South American nations were emerging from European colonial rule. While the Doctrine, as a tool of policy, warns Europe to keep its hands off, it stopped short of declaring that the United States would act as nanny for these fledgling states.

Don’s interpretation of the Doctrine, however, seems a bit different — though not entirely unique. Indeed, digging a massive trench to split a country in two is a rather explicit form of U.S. intervention, though the recent operation in Venezuela marks the first time we’ve seen something like this from Washington since the Bush Administration (‘H’, not ‘W’). and the current Administration’s rhetoric surrounding the operation certainly sets it apart.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified: “There’s not a war. [There is a] war against drug trafficking organizations—not a war against Venezuela.” Some might argue that a war is still a war regardless of how the opposition is defined, but Rubio would disagree. He has also made the core intentions of the U.S. clear: “This is the Western Hemisphere. This is where we live—and we’re not going to allow the Western Hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors, and rivals of the United States.”

(...)

Historically, the Monroe Doctrine applied to Central and South America, but its geographic boundaries were never explicitly defined. The Trump Administration, however, may be getting creative with borders, suggesting the Doctrine could soon extend to Greenland (which is still technically in the Western Hemisphere).

Greenland first surfaced as a talking point during Trump’s campaign. This has re-emerged over the weekend with Trump announcing that the U.S. “need[s] Greenland from a national security situation,” and that “we will deal with Greenland in about two months. Let’s talk about Greenland in 20 days.” What exactly we’ll be talking about when it comes to Greenland is not yet clear, but Denmark—and the EU—is taking this as a threat.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has said that “if the U.S. chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, including NATO and thus the security that has been established since the end of the Second World War.”

🇺🇸❌🇬🇱🇩🇰 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Stephen Miller Asserts US Has Right To Take Greenland, & Wouldn't Even Have To Fight For It | January 6, 2026:

"Stephen Miller, one of President Trump's top aides who serves as his deputy chief of staff for policy, just poured more fuel on the fire in terms of the ongoing spat with Denmark over the future of Greenland and sovereignty.

He said in fresh remarks that there won't be any military intervention to take the Arctic territory as simply "nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland." More importantly he spelled out the US administration's view that Denmark fundamentally does not have a right to the resource-rich Arctic territory.

Miller was asked by reporters on whether Trump might 'invade' Greenland next, after this weekend's 'shock' Venezuela action. "What do you mean military action against Greenland? Greenland has a population of 30,000 people," he began his response."

"The real question is what right does Denmark have to assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark?" Miller then questioned.

And he added: "The US is the power of Nato. For the US to secure the Arctic region to protect and defend Nato and Nato interests, obviously Greenland should be part of the US. And so that’s a conversation that we’re going to have as a country. That’s a process we’re going to have as a community of nations."

🇨🇳🚫🧪🧪➡️🗾 — 📰 ZeroHedge | China Slaps Export Controls On Japan For Dual-Use Items, Rare Earths, Could Impact Semiconductors | January 6, 2026:

"More steady escalation between US-ally Japan and China has emerged, but things just got much more significant - moving from initial Chinese restrictions on things like seafood or cultural exchange events, to now Beijing announcing an immediate ban on all goods deemed dual use for Tokyo. Some rare earth elements are included in this, which impacts a range of technologies, goods, and services with both civilian and military applications.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi - still relatively early and fresh in her tenure - likely regrets her words from last November before her parliament, where she for the first time ever in Japan's history suggested the Japanese military could intervene to defend Taiwan from a future Chinese invasion of the self-ruled island. However, the Chinese demand for a full public retraction and apology hasn't come, which means Beijing is now engaged in more screw-tightening to demonstrate how serious it is.

In unveiling the new punitive measures Tuesday, a spokesperson for China's Commerce Ministry once again hammered on Takaichi’s "erroneous" comments and that China's national security and interests must be "safeguarded"."
