There was another post a few days ago that suggested a connection between the American invasion of Venezuela and the BGP anomaly: https://loworbitsecurity.com/radar/radar16/

Combine that with the news of Trump publicly admitting that the US is willing to take military action to bring other countries in line, even against their own allies: https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/06/politics/us-options-green...

Personally, I don't think the Americans would bother hide their attack and make it look like an accident under the current regime. Trump would announce the CIA/NSA/FBI/whatever did the Greatest Attack, and Amazing Attack, to Completely Control and break the Weak Government of Venezuela to Rescue Their Oil. I'll believe the "it was just a misconfiguration" explanation for now.

I think it only makes sense that people start fearing the influence of American companies given the current developments. When America is in the news, it's either threatening someone, pulling out of cooperative efforts, or delivering on a previous threat. That's bound to derail discussions whenever American companies are involved and it'll only get worse with the way things are developing.
