This admin have enabled China to takeover Taiwan and a few over territories. Don't make the mistake of blaming it all on Trump. Here's an small take from Michael Palin a couple months back https://www.themichaelpalin.com/palins-posts/venezuela-chasing-the-story/ Sunday, November 2, 2025 I’ve completed most of the dates on my Venezuela book tour which took me from Tynemouth in Northumberland to Yeovil in Somerset. That’s the dual satisfaction of these series – by going abroad I get to see more of my own country. Thank you to all those who turned out to see the show and join me in my ramblings. What added a touch of excitement and immediacy to this particular tour was that Venezuela, which we chose to go to because so little was known about it, is suddenly back in the headlines. As ever, Donald Trump and his administration are at the centre of it. American airborne rockets have sunk a number of boats off the coast of Venezuela, claiming nearly fifty lives without providing any clear evidence for what these boats were carrying and where they were going to. We just have to assume what we are told. That these were bad people attempting to destroy America with drugs, who deserved not just to be disabled, or even arrested and put on trial, but blown apart and sent to the bottom of the sea. Things are moving fast. Trump has authorised a covert CIA operation in Venezuela. The US navy has moved its biggest aircraft carrier into the region. A force of 10,000 has been assembled. President Maduro, with the Americans in his gunsights, is ramping up his own defences, tightening his grip on the country. The Venezuelan people are stuck in the middle of this stand-off, threatened from the inside and the outside. The people of this stunningly beautiful country have put up with a lot over these last years. They deserve a break, not a war.
Wow. This is 100% all about ... OIL. The US Big Oil are the winners here. The United Fruit Company is back baby. South and Central America only exist to support the interests of large US companies.
I did not say this was about anything but primarily about oil. My point was (silver lining regardless of which way you look at it) expelling china and russia influence in our hemisphere is a net positive.
“History shows that forced regime change rarely stabilises oil supply quickly, with Libya and Iraq offering clear and sobering precedents," said Jorge Leon, head of geopolitical analysis at Rystad Energy. VZs oil infrastructure is a disaster right now. It will take massive capital investment to get it back to normal and take advantage of their massive reserves. That investment depends on what the long-term political situation looks like, which is completely of course up in the air.
This is the commie thuggish regime that glynch and most of the woke losers in here have admired and supported. You losers with a serious case of TDS better shut the F up from now on. Trump can snatch your leftist ass out of bed at 2 am in the morning. You’d better believe it, Trump is that powerful and magical. Lol
Obama went through the UN Security Council wrt Libya. I'm not looking up Biden and the rest, but you can.
Like the millions of Americans would celebrate Trump's arrest. That doesn't prove anything Venezuela is a sovereign country, but I guess that doesn't mean anything anymore.
You did mention the indirect impact on cartels ... using some sketch logic. This is a massive net negative for South and Central America. Trump in no uncertain terms is saying to the World and those particular countries that The Americas are our political realm. We are their masters, whose orders they must obey. This is a massive negative also for the US. Trump appears to have acted unilaterally here. He did not inform the Gang of Eight in Congress. Trump just started a war even though the US Constitution gives that power to Congress. Trump really has not shown cause for this act of war ... or at least cause that would stand up to minimum scrutiny.
