Is @TheEconomist correct in its assessment? It certainly looks as if Trump 🇺🇸 has lost control of his war and sees threats of further escalation as his only way forward. But what does he think he can achieve?

After US forces seized Nicolás Maduro and his wife, US President Donald Trump said that the pair “now face American justice” for their “campaign of deadly narco-terrorism” against the US and its citizens.
Trump also called Maduro an “illegitimate dictator” who was responsible for bringing “colossal amounts of deadly illicit drugs” into the US, and accused him of overseeing the Cartel de los Soles.
Maduro has denied being a cartel leader and has accused the US of using its “war on drugs” as an excuse to depose him and get its hands on Venezuela’s vast oil reserves.

Erika Kirk wasn’t at the rally with Charlie when he was shot deadTrisha Hope – National Delegate-TX (@JustTheTweets17)Think about it, the night before Charlie was assassinated, he sent messages to several people saying he thought “they” were going to kill him, he was very concerned it might happen the next day.
In his last interview he is seen glaring at someone to his left, he did the interview at his home office.
The following morning, he left the house without giving his wife a kiss or telling her goodbye.
I think that speaks for itself.— https://x.com/JustTheTweets17/status/2036924383982133450

Primorsk, Ust-Luga, and Kirishi sit inside the chain that earns export money and turns crude into usable fuel. Ust-Luga is one of Russia’s biggest export arteries. Kirishi is one of the plants that keeps Northwestern Russia fueled. Add the Vyborg shipyard strike, and the protected rear near St. Petersburg looks exposed in a way Moscow cannot easily hide.
That is where the danger turns political. Export disruption, refinery pressure, and rear-area exposure force the state to defend, reroute, repair, and absorb losses at the same time. That strain reaches beyond economics. It cuts into the money behind fuel, repairs, transport, and military endurance. When the rear no longer feels protected and the war cash starts burning, a strongman system stops looking stable and starts looking beatable.
