II haven't read the article so going by the headline, Chump may be doing democracy a favour? Optimistically wishful thinking, I know.

It's generally accepted that Maduro was every bit as bad as his reputation suggested and his demise is welcomed by most of the population. However, Trump is far more interested in getting his hands on Venezuela's oil than in restoring democracy. He will prop up whoever he thinks will facilitate access for American companies to get their hands on the oil reserves. Like Canada, Venezuela has the heavy crude that US refineries are set up to process. The US produces a lighter grade that doesn't suit their refineries and most of Venezuela's current limited output goes to China which is another reason he wants the oil.  His biggest problem will be that US companies will be very wary of pouring a lot of infrastructure development money into a country that is politically unstable. Even if they did, it would take years to get a significant increase in production because the existing infrastructure is in such bad shape.

Doming is a new concept. Did you mean dooming?

 

Anyway, donold has never before done anything that is in the interests of anyone other than himself. 'Tis but another interesting space to watch the unintended collateral damage unfold.

Sorry to post pics but these, if true, are very sobering. 

Not so much about 'What He has done now'. It's about war and what he has not done, at this point in time. We might really forget about the Epstein Files?

Have these idiots not seen Avatar one, two, or three?

Or Afghanistan, Vietnam, or Iraq?

 

Foreign invaders seldom get along well with the invaded.

 

Buy more popcorn folks! We all thought it was winding up, but the story has just begun.

The actions of the USA in South America have been empire building under the guise of protecting South American countries from becoming parts of the empires of European countries. It all stems back to what is caled the Munroe Doctrine of 1823.

 

I am short of time this morning to post about the Monroe Doctrine and history arising from it. I'll post something tonight (5/1/26).

What will Xi do now that Trump is taking the Venezuelan oil?

Hang onto your hat....

Trump has invaded Venezuela simply because Chavez nationalised multiple billions of U.S. oil companies assets when he was in control. These billionaires running the oil companies are Trumps main backers, and they want their oil assets back (and the oil output and revenues of course), and everything else is just incidental.

 

Trump and his lackeys will simply install a puppet who supports Trump and the U.S. oil companies, and the puppet will ensure the armed forces of Venezuela will keep the civil protests under control - because they're "the enemies of the countrys democracy".

 

We're right back to the "good ol' boys" 1950's style of world domination! And don't forget, we've got a World War going with all those Christian-hating Muzzies, too!

 

One can only hope Russia moves a heap of war materials and armed support to Venezuela, thus hampering their current efforts in the Ukraine. Zelinskyy supports the Trump move into Venezuela, now I know why.

Well, at least we know how Trump sees South America - simply as the southern part of North America with the Gulf of America in the middle.

Looks like he may have made the biggest mistake of his life. Bolt the doors and batten down the hatches....

The Express is extremely alarmist, and nothing sells news like saying WW3 is upon us. Putin is too smart to confront the U.S. directly, and he'll find a way to undermine the Americans efforts in Venezuela.
