Stanislav Krapivnik, Danny Haiphong – U.S. Tanker War TRIGGERS WW3: Russia & Venezuela Strike Back at Trump

by Danny Haiphong [1-8-2026].

(RAD: Stanislav moved back to Russia about 15yrs ago. He came to the US as a child when his parents moved there & he served in the US military, so he understands both the US & Russia. We can learn a lot from Stanislav, since he understands both the US & Russia. The US has pissed off a lot of nations & their people and continues to do so, yet doesn't understand why, doesn't learn from the past & keeps making the same mistakes.

There is a lot the US doesn't understand about Russia. For example, the Orthodox Christians consider war a sin, although sometimes necessary. The Russians were very upset when Trump tried to assassinate Putin with the 91 drones targeting his residence outside of Moscow. There will be a major retaliation. The US & Russia use different methods when escalating in war, which the US misinterprets.

The Russian soldiers want peace, yet they want this war to be won without any compromises. Getting rid of Putin would likely drop the Western population by about 90% very quickly. The last 4yrs of the Ukraine conflict has opened they eyes of the Russian population about the problems of the US.

Trump is a good salesman, yet he doesn't study history, his understanding isn't deep, and he doesn't have staying power. The problem isn't just Trump. The Republicans, Democrats, and other government institutions & people are short sighted in many of these geopolitical issues around the world. Another problem is that Trump is surrounded by neocons.

The US will not survive in Venezuela. The oil infrastructure is in terrible condition. The big US oil companies don't want to go there under the current problems. It would take too much money & too long to make oil production in Venezuela worth while, even under the best of conditions. Stanislav explains a lot of other reasons why the US won't survive in Venezuela, including how the US has screwed Latin America for the last 150yrs or more.

The US military has serious problems. About 20% are obese, not just overweight. It was 60% the year before. Also, allowing women in infantry roles where strength & the need to carry heavy loads is a serious risk in combat. This is explained with examples.

There is hope for the US after it collapses. Learn a lot by listening to Stanislav's wisdom. — RAD)

The US with UK support seized a Russian-flagged tanker on January 6th in the latest escalation that could lead spiral into a major war between great powers. Trump is sending numerous messages that he is in control of Venezuela, but its new president Delcy Rodriguez has hit back. Former U.S. Army officer & military expert Stanislav Krapivnik joins the show to react to these developments and much more as World War 3 moves into a new phase.
