“It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs,” she claimed in a social media publication.



Yep, I been saying the same thing. I’ve been predicting a war with Venezuela for months. He is friends with the Saudis, and he wants what they have - billions in oil flowing in every single day.
Venezuela has the largest oil reserves on the planet, so of course he wants it, at any cost.
And just like he said in this morning’s announcement, he thinks he has the Monroe Doctrine to lean on, even if he doesn’t know what it is, or even who Monroe is. Somebody told him enough to make him think that it extends to the entire Western Hemisphere.
The plan is is for Trump to control the Western Hemisphere, Putin to control Europe and West Asia, and China to control the rest of Asia, and everybody to exploit the shit out of Africa.
The alternate take I’ve heard is to take Venezuela out of the oil market entierly thus driving up the price and propping up Russias economy for a bit longer.
No, Trump wants that money. He’ll be glad to sell it to Russia, perhaps even at a reduced rate, to help Russia’s economy, but he will not simply let it shut down.
The bigger issue is that apparently the infrastructure is old and decrepit, and needs major rehabilitation, but Trump is already inviting deals from American oil companies, so 2 or 3 of them will pay for the repairs, in exchange for exclusive rights.
But make no mistake, the bulk of the profits will go the Trump. He’s friends with the Saudis, and he wants the same lifestyle they have, and Venezuelan oil will give that to him.
We have to make sure he doesn’t get it.
Same here, Cadet Bone Spurs wanted to attack Venezuela in 2017 and your last paragraph is correct too.
