The mission in Caracas revealed that the best kept secret in the US is not a drone: it is called DAP and you will not see it in the movies

by

The capture of Nicolás Maduroby US forces has not only meant a political earthquakebut rather he explained with almost surgical clarity the media type that the United States reserves for maximum risk direct action operations. In fact, the famous Night Stalkers of Washington’s Army made it clear that the drone is still in second place. Designed to enter where no one else can.Qbecause the first place is reserved to DAPthe MH-60M Direct Action Penetrator, the most aggressive and specialized variant of the black hawk operated by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, the Night Stalkers. Venezuela was, in every sense, the ideal setting for this device: a hostile urban environment, potential air defenses, the need for rapid insertion, armed escort, precise fire and absolute coordination with assault teams. Although armed versions of the H-60 ​​exist in several countriesthe DAP of the 160th SOAR represents the maximum degree of maturity of the concept, far above even those already sophisticated MH-60 transportation of the regiment itself. It is not a helicopter adapted after the fact, but a platform conceived decades ago, operational at least since 1990to accompany special forces where error is not an option. In Xataka Neither drones nor fighters nor elite soldiers: the US entered Venezuela disguising a 20th-century tactic as technology. XIX Modular firepower. The heart of the DAP is its ability to combine the punch of an attack helicopter with the flexibility of a special operations device. The current configuration of the MH-60M incorporates modular short wings with one or two heavy points per side, capable of carrying a mix of 70mm missiles,AGM-114 Hellfireair-to-air missiles Stinger ATASheavy machine guns GAU-19/B .50 caliber and M230 cannons 30 mm, the same model used by the AH-64 Apache. Added to this are two 7.62mm miniguns which can be fixed in a frontal position to maximize the volume of fire during low-altitude passes. The introduction of APKWS II guided rockets laser has added surgical precision that allows beat specific objectives in dense environments without resorting to more destructive ammunition. All this arsenal is integrated into a platform that maintains a key advantage: its dual character. In a matter of hours, the DAP can return to a transport configuration, a critical quality for unpredictable operations where the same helicopter may need to escort, attack and evacuate in a single mission. Penetrate at night and fly low. Beyond weapons, what defines the MH-60M DAP is its ability to reach the target without being detected and survive once inside. The aircraft shares with the rest of the 160th SOAR fleet an avionics suite designed for extreme night flight and nap-of-the-earth profilesliterally skimming the terrain even in adverse weather conditions. They counted the TWZ analysts that the terrain tracking and avoidance radar, in its most modern version AN/APQ-187 Silent Knightallows the crew to fly blind to any other conventional helicopter, while the electro-optical and infrared system AN/ZSQ-2 provides identification, laser designation and video in real time. Systems like the Degraded Visual Environment Pilotage Systemwhich combines cameras, LIDAR and terrain databases, allow operating in dust, smoke, heavy rain or fog, common conditions in a night urban assault. And more. This set of sensors not only facilitates navigation, but also allows the DAP to fight at very close range, executing the classic combination of strafing and rockets that has been seen in videos of the Venezuelan operation, erroneously attributed in some cases to AH-1Z helicopters of the Marines. {“videoId”:”x9cqyyg”,”autoplay”:false,”title”:”A KEY of 8 ZEROS PROTECTED the WORLD from an unauthorized NUCLEAR ATTACK”, “tag”:”Webedia-prod”, “duration”:”457″} Invisible shielding. Plus: If there is something that distinguishes the 160th SOAR helicopters, it is their obsession with survival. The MH-60M DAP is covered by a genuine self protection bubble which integrates infrared, radar and laser missile warnings, active electronic warfare systems, chaff and flare dispensers, and directional laser countermeasures such as the CIRCM systemcapable of blinding infrared guided missile seekers in mid-flight. This entire ecosystem is interconnected– Detection of a threat can automatically trigger jamming, countermeasures and evasive maneuvers without direct crew intervention. Added to this is a complete electronic intelligence system and data links that allow us to know the location of emerging threats and receive information from other platforms in real time. The result is one of the most difficult helicopters in the world to shoot down, especially in night and low-altitude missions. In Espinof Hugh Jackman presents the extraordinary trailer for his new film, where he becomes one of the most legendary characters of all time The coming war. The operation in Venezuela also has hinted the immediate future of this type of platforms. The US Army has been experimenting for years with the so-called lpunched effectsdrones launchable from helicopters capable of attacking, interfering or deceiving defenses tens or hundreds of kilometers away. Although its operational use has not been officially confirmed, there are indications that the MH-60M DAP could use them for the first time in combat during this mission, expanding its effective range and reducing direct exposure to enemy fire. Added to all this is the ability to refuel in flight using a telescopic probe, normally from MC-130J aircraftwhich extends the helicopter’s radius of action to limits imposed more by human resistance than by fuel. In short, the MH-60M DAP is consolidated as the version more armed and protected of the Black Hawk ever built, a tool tailor-made for operations like the one in Venezuela, where perfect coordination between helicopters, special forces and air support decides success or failure. Far from being a simple armed escort, the DAP is the closest thing to an integral force multiplier, difficult to replace by conventional means and a central piece of the way in which the United States today executes its most delicate missions.

Motorola has perfectly understood what it needs to continue growing: expensive mobile phones

by

If there is a manufacturer putting all its efforts to achieve a premium product that is far from its competition (for better or worse), it is Motorola. The smartphone market has taken giant steps in the last five years with the arrival of AIthe folding mobiles and recently high density batteries. A tug of war between Asian manufacturers and the rest of the world, with two clearly marked identities: China betting everything on the latest technology and the rest being more conservative. Along the way, we have a Motorola (now owned by the Chinese Lenovo, but maintaining its identity as an American company), striving to achieve a premium identity, trying along the way not be a clone of the rest of your rivals. And, at this CES 2026, we have two good proofs of this. The missing fold. It started RoyoleSamsung consolidated it, and manufacturers such as OPPO and Xiaomi refined the concept. The Fold-type folding devices are still alive as an alternative for users who want a pocket tablet, and Motorola has wanted to fully enter this field. A new Razr. Motorola Razr Fold is the name that the company has given to its first book-type folding, after years of betting on the clamshell type. The bet is clear: 8.09-inch AMOLED external screen, with 2K resolution and LTPO type technology. 6.56-inch AMOLED external screen. Triple camera system: 50 megapixel Lytia main sensor, 50 megapixel ultra wide angle and three optical magnification telephoto lens and also 50 megapixels. 32-megapixel external and 20-megapixel internal selfie camera. Bet on Pantone colors: Blackened Blue and Lily White. Optimized software with adaptive interface. Support for the Moto Pen Ultra pen. Little secrets to discover. Motorola has not revealed the rest of the specifications, but we can sense one of the best Qualcomm processors inside (Snapdragon 8 Gen 5), as this chip manufacturer is one of Motorola’s main partners. It will not be able to come short on memory configurations if it wants to be competitive, and the big unknown is reserved for the battery, one of the critical points in clamshell-type folding devices, with panels larger than 8 inches. The premiumization of Motorola. Xiaomi was clear that to make money it had to put cheap mobile phones in the background and bet on premium terminals. Something that Motorola also knows very well. For some time now, Motorola’s main bet is on your Edge familyolder brothers of the Moto G classics. Mid-premium range and high range with the software as the main star feature and an alliance with Pantone so that the design is a key point and differential compared to its competition. Edge, Edge Fusion, Edge Pro… And, to go one step further, The Signature family arrives now. Motorola Signature. Motorola’s new high-end is not an Edge Pro, it is a Signature. The design tells us that this model inherits quite a bit of essence from the Edge (it is practically identical to the brand’s latest models), but betting on even more ambitious specs. The latest Qualcomm chip. Memories up to 1 TB. Zoom up to 100x. 5,200mAh silicon-carbon battery. 6.8-inch screen with peak brightness of up to 6,200 nits. A key year. 2026 will be a very important year for Motorola. Its year-on-year growth in shipments was 24% in 2024. Still far from the global podium, but managing to gain a foothold little by little.

Spain will go from -14ºC to warmer temperatures in days

by

It’s not just a feeling when you go out this morning: Winter has decided to enter through the front door at the beginning of this year 2026. After a few years of warmer patterns, the current atmospheric configuration has opened a direct corridor from the Arctic to the peninsula that has undoubtedly left many of us frozen. The temperatures. Throughout all of Spain we have been able to see really low temperaturessuch as Madrid, which woke up today at -2 °C, but the capital is almost a thermal oasis compared to the rest of the country. In Burgos, the wind has plummeted the thermal sensations down to -13 °C, and in the “proverbial” cold area of ​​Molina de Aragón (Guadalajara), the thermometer has reached -14 °C. We are facing an episode of extreme cold that has put half of Spain on yellow, orange or even red alert. What is happening. What we are experiencing is not an isolated event, but the result of a meteorological coincidence. The key is in an anticyclonic block located in northern Europe, which is a wall of high pressure that has forced air masses to circulate along its southern flank, channeling polar and continental air directly towards our latitudes. to this The storm Francis has joined itwhich has left significant rainfall and snowfall throughout Spain. Its position has acted as a suction pump, facilitating the entry of this mass of arctic air and causing not only the collapse of thermometers, but also snowfall at unusually low levels. A thermal ‘scooper’. The AEMET had to activate the red notice in the Parameras de Molina, a landmark that is not seen every winter. Some of the most notable temperatures that we have detected, for example, are the following: Molina de Aragón (Guadalajara): -14 °C. Burgos: wind chill of -13 °C due to the combination of frost and wind. Madrid (Retiro/Barajas): -2 °C, with minimums in the periphery, such as in Alcalá de Henares, dropping to -6.7 °C. Sierra Nevada: extreme minimums of up to -17 °C. How long is it going to last? The truth is that the intense cold will continue throughout the day, as it did during the early hours of January 7th. This makes the red notices in Guadalajara and orange in the northern interior They will remain active until mid-morning. But starting January 8, the Arctic air mass will begin to withdraw from the peninsula, making the weekend much milder than the previous one. In fact, forecasts indicate that by the weekend we could go from one extreme to the other, with temperatures 1 to 3 °C above average for this time of year. This will take us from ice to ‘almost hot’ in a matter of days with maximums of around 16 °C on Tuesday, January 13. A new storm. Beyond the temperatures, we must keep in mind that between January 8 and 9, Storm Goretti will form, and that it will also experience explosive cyclogenesis, as the AEMET points out. Its impact will be mainly in the central European countries and in Spain its impact will be less, although it will temporarily generate maritime wind or rain in the north.

when you can be fined for off-road use and when you can’t

by

We are going to tell you in which cases it is considered that you do improper use of the V-16 beacon with which they can fine you, as well as the fines that may result. We are also going to clarify the cases in which they are not going to do it. Because turning on the beacon accidentally or to test it is not the same as doing so in other contexts. In this way, with this information you can have greater peace of mind and avoid the fear of how many tests and checks you can perform safely. When you can be fined for improper use Next, we are going to tell you the three cases of misuse for which you can be fined for using the V-16 beacon. In addition to telling you that they are illegal, we will also inform you about the fine they carry. And be careful because there is a case in which the fine can reach 30,000 euros. Use it to park wrong: When you activate the beacon to park improperly, such as in double row. It is illegal and can have fines of 200 euros. Fake breakdown on the shoulder: If you fake a car breakdown to sleep or to rest on the shoulder. It is illegal and can have fines of 200 euros. Fake accident: If you fake an accident, then the misuse is very serious, and the fine can be up to 30,000 euros. When is it safe to use the beacon Instead, if you activate the beacon by accident You don’t have to worry, because the DGT and the manufacturers have implemented a margin of 100 seconds from when you activate it until the signal is sent to the cloud. If you activate it in a garage or off-streetthen you don’t have to worry either. The DGT has intelligent filters that discriminate off-street signals. Come on, if the geolocation of the beacon indicates that it is activated at home or a private garage, for example, the DGT assistant will ignore the signal.

It was the second worst value on the IBEX 35 in 2025, but it achieved its best portability data in history

by

Telefónica has closed its busy 2025 with two opposite faces: in bag plummeted 11% and ended up as the second worst value on the IBEX 35, only ahead of Puig. But on the street he won the battle: captured almost 200,000 mobile lines of the competition, its best historical record in portability. Why it is important. This contradiction explains well how the market no longer rewards only commercial success. Investors demand financial visibility, robust cash flow and a clear roadmap. Telefónica has achieved the first, but with the change of presidency a year is still in process of the rest. The turning point. Everything changed on November 4th. At his Capital Market Day, in which he took the opportunity to Publish your five-year strategic planthe operator announced a dividend cut in half (from 0.30 to 0.15 euros per share) and cash projections lower than expected. Investors immediately punished it: less dividend, less cash and little clarity about some operations. The backdrop. The stock market punishment contrasts with Telefónica’s best commercial year in a long time. The sum of Movistar and O2 portability quintupled in 2024 and consolidated the leadership of the leading telecom in the premium segment of the Spanish mobile market. Digi led the total market with 783,000 net lines, dominating the low cost. MásOrange lost 513,000 mobile customers, its worst result. Vodafone Spain gave up 435,000 lines, even with the sum of Finetwork. Telefónica’s commercial success is explained by a pincer strategy: Digi sweeps through increasingly cheaper rates, so Movistar and O2 have entrenched themselves in the highest value segments, where customers pay more and remain loyal. But that victory has not translated into stock market metrics. Only Puig has had a worse 2025 on the IBEX than the telecom company. Yes, but. The theory of “IBEX dogs” suggests that 2026 should be a better year for Telefónica. The most punished values ​​usually recover the following year and the analyst consensus sets a target price of 4.04 euros per share, 16% above current levels. Besides, The IBEX 35 has closed its best year since 1993. The index closed with a revaluation of 49%, driven mainly by banks and their record results. And now what. Telefónica faces 2026 with a more austere discourse on balance sheet and debt. The key is no longer in the strategic announcement, but in its execution. The market has discounted the dividend cut and what remains is to demonstrate that the new remuneration policy, linked to cash flow, is sustainable over time. For now, the year starts with an ERE that will cost 2,500 million euros and will save about 600 annually starting in 2028. Will that be enough to convince investors without sacrificing the commercial capacity that has allowed them to gain customers again?

a good part of its billion in revenue comes from the only market that still goes to the movies

by

If we are ever going to have a negative answer to the question of “Can James Cameron stop killing it at the box office?” It certainly won’t be in the short term. ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ has once again swept theaters, and although perhaps a couple of aspects of the triumph need to be pointed out, it is indisputable that we are facing a new success: it has already exceeded one billion dollars. The figures. The third installment of ‘Avatar’ has reached 1,083 million dollars at the global box office after 18 days in theaters. The figure is divided into 306 million dollars in US territory and 777.1 million in international markets, confirming the traditional foreign dominance of the franchise created by James Cameron. The milestone comes slightly later than its predecessors (‘Avatar‘He achieved it in 17 days and’The sense of water‘ in just 14), which makes us wonder if ‘Fire and Ashes’ will manage to replicate the extraordinary long-term performance of its predecessors, which remained in first place at the box office for seven consecutive weekends. Gear change. The rhythm of ‘Fuego y ash’, as we have commented, contrasts with that of its predecessors. The 2009 film ended its run with a historic gross of $2.9 billion, while ‘The Sense of Water’ ended with $2.32 billion. Both films demonstrated exceptional resilience, remaining at number one in the ranking for seven uninterrupted weeks, an increasingly unusual phenomenon in the streaming era. The big question now is whether ‘Fire and Ash’ will manage to join the exclusive club of 2 billion movies. The first indicators suggest a decrease compared to the second installment, which in turn had already experienced a drop of 580 million compared to the original. If this trend is confirmed, ‘Fire and Ash’ would be the first ‘Avatar’ installment to stay below the two billion threshold, which could redefine the commercial expectations of the franchise, which as we already saw It is not enough to be one of the hits of the year to be profitable. The importance of China. As has been usual in the franchise, the success of ‘Fire and Ash’ depends largely on the foreign market: for example, in this installment 71.7% of revenue comes from outside the US: China leads the list with 138 million dollars, followed by France with 81 million, Germany with 64 and South Korea with 44. Only in China, the third ‘Avatar’ got the best premiere of the saga in the countrywith $57 million in its opening weekend. The IMAX format was crucial: generated 23.5 million dollars23% of the total Chinese collection. A success that is more significant considering that the Chinese market has remained practically closed to foreign productions in recent years. By the way, has already been dethroned. Disney sweeps away. One more year, this is not news, but let’s confirm the Disney’s absolute dominance at the box office. This third ‘Avatar’ is also the studio’s third film to surpass $1 billion this year, following the live-action remake of ‘Lilo & Stitch‘ (1,030 million) and ‘Zootopia 2’ (1,420 million, at the moment). That is, more than $6.58 billion at the global box office, a figure that has not been reached since before the pandemic. And without the need for Marvel (with three premieres that did not reach the expected figures nor the collections of other times) nor ‘Star Wars’. No other study has managed to produce a single billion-dollar movie since 2023 but it is worth remembering, of course, that Disney has not been short of failures at the box office: ‘Snow White’, ‘Tron: Ares’ and ‘Elio’ were well below expectations, which poses a paradox. Disney scores the biggest hits and the main failures of the year, making it clear that Disney has the blockbuster formula, but its brand is no longer infallible. Prudent Cameron. Despite the success, James Cameron maintains a cautious stance on the continuity of the saga. Before the premierealready said that “first, we have to make money from this. We each have to prove this absurd business case again.” Cameron recognizes that the industry has changed and that the theater market is going through a moment that makes any forecast possible. As revealedwould call a press conference to reveal the complete plots of ‘Avatar 4’ and ‘5’ if they were not finally made. Another option would be to novelize the scripts, a project for which he maintains a certain enthusiasm. In Xataka | James Cameron has committed to the 48fps format for ‘Avatar 3’. Many viewers find it disturbing

The latest from Lenovo is a gaming laptop with a rollable screen. It makes more sense than it seems

by

Playing on a laptop has historically been synonymous with playing in 16:9 or, at most, in 4:3 in some more work-focused models. Play ultrawide It is something that, for the moment, is relegated to desktop monitors for a fairly simple issue: space. That, of course, is assuming that the panel cannot be rolled and unrolled, because if possible, concepts as curious and peculiar as the one that Lenovo has shown at CES 2026 could be achieved. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable (Concept). That is the name given to the laptop with a roll-up screen that Lenovo showed at CES in Las Vegas. It is, as its name indicates, a concept, that is, it is not for sale, but its proposal is striking. Lenovo is betting big on this technology with folding laptops and the roll-up concept we tested a few weeks agobut with this device the firm goes a little further. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable | Image: Lenovo How it works. The laptop features a Lenovo PureSight OLED panel that, by default, has a size of 16 inches. Lenovo calls this size the “Focus mode.” Under the panel is a dual voltage-based motor that allows the screen to expand and contract “with minimal vibration and noise,” according to the firm. Lenovo also claims to have used low-friction materials and that the system maintains constant tension throughout the panel, which should translate into less abrasion during the winding cycle. From 16 to 24. The panel can be expanded in two sizes: from 16 to 21.5 inches (“Tactic mode”) and from 21.5 to 24 inches in a more panoramic format that Lenovo has dubbed “Arena mode.” This, depending on the player profile, may make all the sense in the world since it allows you to have an ultrawide monitor available at all times. Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable | Image: Lenovo Develop. If we take them seriously, competitive games win a whole lot if we play on a 16:9 monitor. Titles like ‘Counter Strike’, ‘Valorant’ or ‘League of Legends’ are played in 16:9 because this format allows you to see the entire screen without having to move your head. In some shooters, like ‘Battlefield 6‘, an ultrawide monitor moves the minimap, game and weapon information away from the center, forcing us to take our eyes off the reticle even more. That is to say, in games in which everything happens in the center and surrounding areas, a 16:9 monitor is the most suitable, at least on paper. However, simulation games, open exploration worlds or more cinematic games (think of a ‘Clair Obscure: Expedition 33‘, a ‘Cyberpunk 2077‘ or a ‘god of war‘) appreciate the panoramic format and the immersion they provide. The same with editing and productivity apps, which win in ultrawide. This laptop offers us, in theory, the best of both worlds: a 16:9 panel for shooters and competitive games; and an ultrawide panel for when we want to relax and enjoy a good story. But that, in theory, because the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable is a concept and, as such, has yet to prove itself. And inside? Lenovo hasn’t left anything out. The laptop is based on the Legion Pro 7i, so it has a New generation Intel Core Ultraa NVIDIA RTX 5090 and the Lenovo AI Engine+. This uses Lenovo LA1+LA3 cores to optimize resources based on the gaming scenario, which, on paper, should conceptually keep the FPS up to par.

It is less than 7 millimeters thick, but its screen measures 6.8 inches, making it a fairly large mobile phone and its weight reaches 186 grams. Speaking of screen, it is a 6.8 inch AMOLED with a peak brightness of 6,200 nits and a refresh rate that exceeds the usual ones, standing at 165Hz. Regarding resistance, the panel is covered by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 glass and the frame of the mobile phone is made of aircraft-grade aluminum, important in such a thin terminal. The back is finished with a texture that imitates linen and comes in olive green and black, but what stands out most is its camera module. Motorola is committed to a system of triple camera which combines main, ultra-wide angle and periscopic telephoto with 3x optical and digital zoom up to 100x, all of them with 50 megapixel sensors. For the front camera we have another 50 megapixel sensor. Performance and autonomy The Motorola Signature marks the brand’s return to the premium segment, something that is clear with its processor, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. It is accompanied by 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. For the battery, Motorola is once again betting on the silicon-carbon how good results it gave us in the review of the Motorola Edge 70, but this time it is even bigger: 5,200 mAh. According to Motorola, the autonomy is 52 hours, with up to 28 hours of video playback. As for the software, it comes standard with Android 16 and comes with the Qira AI platform, that understands the context and works between the mobile phone, the tablet and the computer continuously. Versions and prices of the Motorola Signature The Motorola Signature comes to the market in olive green or black. Regarding the versions, in other markets there will be a 16GB RAM version, but in Spain we will only have the 12GB version with 512GB of storage. It will cost 999 euros and it can now be reserved on the Motorola website.

that it would not have happened to North Korea for a very simple reason

by

When we talk about isolated and sanctioned states, an enclave usually emerges in the conversation at some point. North Korea has every chance to join that list of nations with dubious qualifications. And yet, after the attack from Washington to Caracasone idea is repeated insistently: this would not have happened to Pyongyang. That uncomfortable idea. Yes, after the attack, a phrase is repeating in the analyzesgatherings and networks:“This would not have happened to North Korea”. It is not an ideological slogan or a gratuitous provocation, but an almost empirical verification that points to the heart of the real international system, not the one taught in manuals. The reason: Venezuela lacks nuclear weapons, and North Korea has intercontinental ballistic missiles armed with nuclear warheads capable of reaching US territory. That difference, alone, explains much more than decades of resolutions, treaties and solemn declarations on sovereignty, legality and world order. International legality as a story. It happens that the operation against Venezuela has been described by jurists and international organizations as a flagrant violation of international law. However, that sentence has not had (nor does it seem that it will have) practical consequences. It has not stopped the operation, nor reversed its effects nor imposed real costs on the actor who carried it out. From that perspective, it is not an anomaly of the system, it is, rather, its normal functioning. International legality has never been an independent coercive mechanism, but a regulatory framework whose effectiveness ultimately depends on the balance of power. When this balance does not exist, the law is reduced to a moral language that accompanies the facts, but does not condition them. Nuclear deterrence: the frontier. The contrast with North Korea is revealing. We are talking about a nation capable of launching missiles simply because the “neighbor” visits China. Pyongyang is an isolated, sanctioned State, with a violation history of human rights and UN resolutions against them much more extensive than the Venezuelan one. And yet, no one is seriously considering a direct military operation to capture their leader or impose regime change by force. The reason is starkly simple: North Korea may respond with what we call nuclear escalation. In that sense, deterrence does not guarantee peace or justice, of course, but it does guarantee survival. In the real international system, the nuclear weapon functions as the only fully recognized life insurance. Iran and Venezuela. The Iran situation fits the same logic. Tehran has been getting closer for years to the nuclear thresholdaware that Libya, Iraq or Venezuela show the fate of States that renounce (or do not arrive in time) to this type of deterrence. Until Iran definitively crosses that line, it remains exposed to limited attacks, sabotage, targeted assassinations and indirect military pressure. Venezuela, without a nuclear program or credible deterrence umbrella, has proven to be even more vulnerable: not only to sanctions or pressure, but to a direct intervention designed to “extirpate” the political leadership, just as it has happened. The Non-Proliferation Treaty. He Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty It was born with an implicit promise: States that renounced nuclear weapons would obtain collective security and respect for their sovereignty. What’s happening? that the reality has denied that promise over and over again. At least until now, no non-nuclear state has been defended militarily by the international system against a great power determined to act. On the contrary, states that have managed to equip themselves with nuclear deterrents (from North Korea to Pakistan) have ensured their practical inviolability, regardless of their internal or external behavior. The message that other countries draw seems obvious and deeply destabilizing: following the rules does not protect you, but having the damn bomb does. USA and the royal hierarchy. If you also want, the Venezuelan operation It does not inaugurate this logic, but it makes it visible in an almost pedagogical way. The United States has not acted outside the international system, but from its top. It has shown that the global hierarchy remains asymmetrical and that sovereignty is conditional for those who cannot impose an intolerable cost on an aggressor. Seen this way, the comparison with North Korea is not an anti-Western provocation, but rather an a priori, realistic reading of the facts: the law is applied where there is balance, and where there is none, force rules. What we don’t want to say. This being the case, the lesson left by the attack on Venezuela is uncomfortable because it dismantles decades of rhetoric, or almost so. International legality has not disappeared now, perhaps because it has never existed as an autonomous shield. It has always been a reflection of power. and North Korea is not untouchable because he is right, but because he can just destroy. Venezuela was not attacked because it is more illegitimate, of course, but because in that sense it is weaker. That is why Iran is moving towards the nuclear thresholdbecause he has learned that lesson by observing others. That the international system does not reward compliance, but rather the ability to deter. Everything else is story.
