Venezuela

Soooooo....Is this Iraq 2, WWIII Boogaloo? Even with the buildup I was still shocked we went in and did this.

Does Russia have a decreased pressure for peace in Ukraine?

Does China just say Fuck It on Taiwan?

In my understanding, this is blatant violation of international law and sets a modern precedent for states going after each other. This is not a good development. I hate the Trump Administration.

 

Can you imagine the reaction from Verruckterfuhrer Trump if China did the same to some to someone he likes?

 

Raygun wanted a "war" and wound up with Granada. NPD Trump wanted a "war" and now has Venezuela.

If you're going to start a "fight" make sure you choose an opponent (victim) who can't fight back.


The Trump Clown Circus is now saying they're working with the Venezuelan VP acting as Pres. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

 

Even for Trump, this seems like stupid strategy. Does polling indicate enough support in Hispanic communities to make it make sense?

Is it just another money grab through oil and petrodollar?

Is it just narcissism?

Is the American public this stupid?

 

Yes.
But what I've read & heard indicates oil in Venezuela is difficult to extraxt, & requires extra processing. Also it's possible Russia & China were players in Venezuela.

Yes.
NPD Trump desperately wants to be seen a powerful leader. He craves admiration & respect, he demands them because he can't command them (remember his intense envy of John McCain?). I think his public indifference to criticism is much different from his private reactions.

Yes.
Absolutely yes. Stupidity mixed with disinterest. People want to know if NPD Trump boinked underage girls, but generally accept his actions as long as they don't affect them directly.
