    In a daring night raid, the US attacked Venezuela, hit their military, then stormed Maduros hideaway and arrested him and his wife.

    Trump says there were no US casualties.

    Today it's exactly 35 years since the US captured Noriega in Panama.

    The US says it's over now. Do they have a plan for tomorrow?

    They never do, but one thing they will do is steal the oil.

    Perhaps a US presidential assignation is overdue.

    What the actual fuck! He is breaking international law! So the US will run the country until such time as a safe and proper transition can take place.
    Trump is a dangerous, dangerous fucking lunatic.
    We will see what the United Nations Security Council says.

    I wonder if putin will do likewise in Ukraine?! Trump wont be able to criticise him, even if he wanted to because he's set the precedent. So who's going to remove Trump?

    Just a rest stop on the road to taking over Canada, Greenland, and more.

    I doubt they had a plan at all. We're big and the rest of them aren't.

    Breaking international laws? HA! After all, the world is still the same as it was hundreds of years ago... the law of the jungle rules. The strongest is right. For the leftists, that was interference in another country's affairs. But... if everyone let Venezuelans handle their internal matters... it's clear that Maduro would be in office forever.

    The United States holds a permanent seat on the Security Council, with an unassailable veto.

    More details: First they blinded the Venezuelan radars that track missiles. Then they hit them with Tomahawks that took out their Russian S300 anti-missile systems.

    It's likely they hit military bases.

    They practiced storming Maduros residence with an exact mock up.

    But wait...did Maduros Russian SU-30s escape the attack?

    Funny thing is, Trump is lying about American oil companies wanting to go back there and invest billions. Oil prices are low already, demand is low, supply high.

    The rest of the world is transitioning away from fossil fuels. So this can only drop the price of oil, which is just at break even now for oil companies.

    Of course if the plan is to just steal another country's sovereign resource, there's lots of profit to be made.

    “The most obvious consequence is that China will take the opportunity to invade Taiwan. This is the most appropriate time for it to do so, bolstered by the precedent of Trump’s invasion of Venezuela and of course his appeasement of Russia in its invasion of Ukraine. In fact, I would say that Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is the crime of aggression, the same crime Putin has committed by invading Ukraine.”

    But...

    Venezuela owes both Russia and China billions. Up until now, they've been paying them back in oil.

    If the US expropriates it, it could deny those countries their due. Of course Venezuela nationalized their oil when it became socialist.

    Chinese envoys had met with Maduro hours before the attack. No doubt offering their support. They may still be in the country as the US military controls the air atm.

    Russia was just about to sign a major security pact with Maduro that likely would've guaranteed some form of military assistance.

    It should be noted, Maduro turned down Putins offer to put Russian military on the ground there as well as more advanced weapons to defend the country.

    Is Trump a complete fool, or is he just using his clown like pesona to fool us all.
    At the end of the day, what is his REAL master plan. Whatever it is, it is buried in countless distractions.
