当地时间3日凌晨，美国对委内瑞拉发起持续约一小时的轰炸，目标包括委军用机场、国防部以及港 口。美国总统特朗普称已抓获委内瑞拉总统。 据新华社报道，特朗普3日通过社交媒体发文说，美国成功对委内瑞拉实施大规模打击，已抓获委总统 马杜罗及其夫人并将他们带离委内瑞拉。此次行动与美国执法部门联合进行。详情稍后公布。美国东部 时间3日11时将在海湖庄园举行新闻发布会。 智通财经记者 南博一 崔忠洲认为，特朗普即将在20日发表国情咨文。在此背景下，他需要一次具有明确"成果"的对外行动来 证明其执政能力。"去年，特朗普斡旋俄乌冲突未能取得实质成果，严格意义上属于失败。委内瑞拉问 题此前已被特朗普多次与非法移民、贩毒问题相联系，在持续施压未果后，转向直接军事手段，成为其 可选路径之一。" 委内瑞拉局势如何发展 《纽约时报》记者阿纳托利·库尔马纳耶夫分析称，如果马杜罗被推翻，委内瑞拉宪法规定权力将移交 给副总统德尔西·罗德里格斯，她负责经济政策。但最终谁将掌权尚不明朗。美国尚未承认马杜罗的合 法总统身份，而委内瑞拉反对派则认为流亡政治家埃德蒙多·冈萨雷斯才是合法总统。 委内瑞拉反对派3日表示，对于该国目前的局势，他们没有官方评论 ...

牛弹琴 真是人善被人欺，马善被人骑。 斗不过美国搞不过特朗普，泽连斯基眉头一皱，又开始碰瓷中国了。 国际舞台上，弱者有时通过指责无辜者来寻找存在感，这何尝不是一种悲哀。 泽连斯基就对外宣称，中国"可能"向俄罗斯提供卫星图像，帮助俄罗斯锁定打击目标。 12月24日，在听取乌克兰对外情报局（SZRU）局长伊瓦先科的汇报后，泽连斯基说："我们注意到，俄 罗斯与一些中国实体的联系正日益加深，这些实体可能正在提供太空情报资讯。令人遗憾的是，中国针 对乌克兰领土的卫星影像，与俄罗斯对相应能源基础设施的打击存在关联。" 什么意思？ 暗示中国向俄罗斯提供卫星信息，俄罗斯然后打击乌克兰。 泽连斯基宣称，乌克兰计划与盟友讨论这一问题，因为这一现状，"破坏了"旨在结束俄乌冲突的外交努 力。 请注意：可能。 乌克兰有证据吗？ 没有任何证据。 但乌克兰就是敢说。 指控不需要事实，只需要胆量——这在国际政治戏剧中屡见不鲜。 早在今年10月，针对乌克兰类似的说法，普京的发言人佩斯科夫就回应：所谓中国的卫星图像，俄罗斯 根本不需要，因为俄罗斯本身就具备对乌克兰作战所需的太空能力。 你当太空里俄罗斯的卫星，都是摆设吗？ 但乌克兰没完没了。 有 ...

三年前，波罗的海发生了一次震动整个欧洲的事件，北溪天然气管道遭到了人为破坏。这并非一场普通的事故，而是经过精心策划和实施的军事破坏行动， 直接指向欧洲的能源命脉。此事的发生不仅引起了各方关注，也成为了国际间博弈的一部分。 经过三年的调查和四个国家的较量，今年，这一事件的真相终于浮出了水面，揭示出幕后策划者竟然是乌克兰军方。德国愤怒，欧洲各国也纷纷警觉，而泽 连斯基的政治前途似乎已走到了尽头。 北溪管道是俄罗斯向欧洲输送天然气的主要通道，横跨俄罗斯与德国两国。德国不仅深度参与了北溪管道的建设，还严重依赖其稳定的能源供应。而美国则 对这一管道心存忌惮，担心欧洲会在能源上过于依赖俄罗斯，从而受到其控制。 这次水下行动的难度极大。爆破点位于海底70至80米的深度，水压大且能见度低，普通潜水装备无法在这样的环境中使用。于是，他们采用了专业的军用潜 水设备，在极其恶劣的条件下，将14至27公斤的炸药安放在北溪1号和2号管道的关键部位。爆炸装置设置为延时引爆，整个作业过程不超过两小时。行动结 早在2022年2月，德国便在美国的压力下决定停止北溪2号项目的推进。几周后，俄乌冲突爆发，乌克兰面临战场形势的急剧恶化，西方国家开始 ...
