2026 Started in Disgrace

The author emphasizes that 2026 began with worrying developments, such as the kidnapping of state leaders and the disregard for international law, all in the name of "security", "democracy", and primarily oil. Venezuela, with its vast oil reserves, became a target due to its energy wealth and not because of internal problems. The author highlights the selective sensitivity of powerful countries and the historical tendency of the US to intervene in countries seeking control of their natural resources. She warns that the violation of international law, if accepted today, will create dangerous precedents and may turn against other countries, such as Cyprus. She concludes that a world without rules is not safer, but a world where the strongest prevails.
