Brazil is mobilizing for war against Venezuela. This is not just them securing their borders.
Brazil is a much larger, much richer country but it is ill equipped for a fight. The Brazilian air force is tiny compared to the modern, well-equipped Venezuelan air force and its army is relatively weak as well - and lacks the capacity to project power in this region at all (there are few roads and there is no rail infrastructure). If the Venezuelans decide to invade Guyana, the United States is the only force that can stop them. Of course Guyana is an ally of the Chinese so maybe the Chinese will beat us to it.

In related news, Ukraine just blew up the Russian warehouse storing all their Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones, and blew up a strategically important rail tunnel in Siberia that connects Russia to China.

Russian soldiers are reporting 1000 casualties a day in Avdiivka. Incredible. Worse than they ever suffered at Bakhmut. Not sure how long the country can sustain this level of loss.
Avdiivka is an inner suburb of Donetsk, the capital of Russian-occupied Ukraine since 2014. For all the Russian bluster, they have failed to secure a viable toe-hold in Ukraine after a decade of slaughter.if in February 2022 anybody had suggested that nearly two years later the Russians would still be battling for inches in freaking Avdiivka they’d have laughed.
