So, it seems the Americans have… acquired… the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro. One can only imagine the paperwork. And now, President Trump has turned his attention to Colombia. Such decisive action. It’s almost… tiring, isn’t it?
Naturally, this has caused a certain… agitation. The markets are fluttering like startled pigeons, and, bless their hearts, the cryptocurrency enthusiasts are bracing themselves for a downturn. As if their lives weren’t dramatic enough.
Trump Warns Colombia After Maduro Capture
On the fourth of January, 2026-a date that will surely live in infamy, at least according to someone-Mr. Trump, fresh from his… successful endeavor… in Venezuela, leveled accusations against the Colombian President, Gustavo Petro. A rather blunt assessment, if I may say so.
He suggested, in his characteristically delicate manner, that Colombia has become something of a haven for cocaine production, all thanks to Mr. Petro’s progressive policies. Honestly, the world is a complicated place; why must everyone meddle?
“Colombia is very sick too, run by a SICK man who likes making COCAlNE and selling it to the U.S.”
When pressed on the possibility of further interventions, Mr. Trump offered a startlingly enthusiastic “sounds good.” One wonders if he enjoys the sound of his own voice. Or perhaps just the…robustness…of international relations.
Colombia Responds Strongly To U.S.
President Petro, understandably, was not amused. He dismissed the accusations as… well, let’s just say “unfounded.” And then, things took a turn. A rather colorful turn, involving accusations of a “clan of pedophiles” and a conspiracy to suppress a certain list. Oh, my.
He went further, saying that “a clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein’s list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil.”
The exchange, as one might expect, quickly descended into a rather predictable diplomatic kerfuffle. It’s all quite exhausting, really.
Experts – those ever-present prophets of doom – are warning that this escalating feud could further destabilize an already precarious region. One can only hope that reason prevails. Though, frankly, I wouldn’t bet on it.
HOLY COW: Colombian President Gustavo Petro just went after Trump:
“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein’s list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil.”

Crypto Market Reacts to Rising Geopolitical Risk
And now, the cryptocurrency. A rather peculiar form of investment, wouldn’t you agree? Apparently, it’s rather sensitive to global events. When things look bleak, people seem to lose their faith in… well, everything. Including digital coins.
Bitcoin, that fickle mistress, has a habit of taking a tumble when wars erupt or tensions rise. Like a nervous debutante at a particularly boisterous ball. In February 2022, during the regrettable unpleasantness in Ukraine, it dropped a good 15%.
And again in 2023, when there was commotion in Gaza, Bitcoin briefly lost its composure, falling about 7% before, rather quickly, regaining its footing. Remarkable resilience, isn’t it? Or perhaps just speculative mania.
Now, with Mr. Maduro in custody and Mr. Trump making threats, traders are holding their breath, anxiously awaiting the next tremor. One almost feels sorry for them. Almost. It’s all rather… predictable, isn’t it? 🎭
