Also they bad mouthed Israel. There seems to be a pattern. They act out against Israel. Israel puts a hit on them. We get the oil rights as a reward for taking them out. The lesson is don't say anything negative about Israel while having oil. I don't see any signs of us invading Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia is selling oil cheaply in exchange for our sale of tanks and jet fighters/bombers to them. Some of the 9-11 Hijackers were on with Saudi Passports, and we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.
OPEC had raised prices during 1973 yom kippur war. Some say they did during war on terror. Not right now, are they ok with Gaza? Really Venezuela is just in trouble right now because they haven't been paying their debts to rothschild. That's what got saddam Hussein in trouble.
I don't know the answer to this, but I do know of these trends:
Trump does what he's told. He's no mastermind of anything. (Indeed many presidents have been puppets.)
The narrative the Executive Branch and Pentagon want us to believe is absolutely not informative of the answer (ie. this isn't about drugs and immigrants, which are traditionally addressed by the usual government agencies).
Maduro says this is about oil. We don't have to trust his opinion, but there is a long history of US aggression in central and south America for the control of resources.
Other sources say this is about minerals. I'd like to know more about that. The competition for mineral resources is extremely important at a time when China has control over most of the most important minerals for electronics. Russia invaded Ukraine for minerals. The US made a "deal" with Ukraine for their minerals.
Thare are links to Israel, and their interests, but I cannot now find those articles.
The US certainly wants regime change in Venezuela, but for what purpose? There is a long tradition of the US causing regime changes.
Maduro appropriately seeks the support of the UN. The US has committed war crimes by destroying boats.
Thanks for the reply. I agree the CIA is used to develop regime change worldwide.
Also, the CIA's purpose is to fight communism.
They gather and analyze intelligence and carry out covert actions and counterintelligence. In practical terms, there is no communism, anywhere. It exists in name only. The CIA has sold weapons to Iran to raise money for the Contras, they've kidnapped a lot of people worldwide and have tortured them in secret locations, they're murdered a lot of people internationally, they were in Russia before Trump revealed their names and had them killed during his first term, and there is so much more. There is also a book written by an ex-CIA couple, called 'Shadow Cell'.)
neoliberal woke imperialism
Oh man, I have absolutely no idea what that would look like
It doesn't matter what -ism there is, they are all mafia terrorists, and the CIA has 2 primary objectives: gain power and have plausible deniability. All the mafias may cooperate at times but they're also always at war.
All true, which also relates to the US bailouts and forgiven bankruptcies of big corporations and wealthy people, which in capitalist terms is a form of socialism or also communism for the ultra wealthy, if they aren't left alone, so that they can fail.
The egg headed moron on that Jewtube segment doesn’t understand that drugs are a type of chemical warfare. Chemical warfare is an attack and act of war. We can thank Trump for finally doing something about this.
Trump doesn't want war with Venezuela, he'd lose. The US military is a paper tiger. Trump is just hoping he can bluff the Venezuelans into giving up. He won't succeed.
So do the Venezuelans, they get them from Iran. Just US drones, against Iranian drones, in the Venezuelan jungles. I notice Trump isn't too keen on going there, he knows he'll probably lose. I notice both you, and Trump, prefer a war of words, to an actual war. That tells me something.
But that's not bloody enough for these people to feel like their wars are consequential. Both sides need to put some soft tissue chips on the table. Then the war can be interesting.
I'm not really sure Trump has "masters", probably less so than most politicians. He's very rich himself, and he's old, so, he doesn't really care too much.
Oh, yeah. Trump does as he likes, runs the country just the way he likes it.
Then he gets a hair clipping from his daughter in the mail.
The message doesn't get through? Fine, now it's a finger. An ear. A hand. His son's PENIS. At what point does he start OBEYING HIS MASTERS? Once he gets the video of one of his progeny getting immolated? No, I think he gets the message long before that.
Well, if it gets to the point that Ivanka is kidnapped, we'll see. However, I don't think we're quite at that stage. And, she probably has pretty good security herself, you know.
It just happened, in Venezuela. But Americans are SO SUPERIOR, amirite. And if you think you'd know about it, goddammit, I have to put you on "IGNORE FOR STUPIDITY" blocked list.
What are you talking about? What does Ivanka have to do with Maduro? What is wrong with your head, my friend? Please, feel free not to respond to me, I don't need your nonsense!

For the oil rights!

But I really don't know....
I think there are basically 3 competing spheres of power that are shoring up nations they believe are essential to their sphere.
Also, the CIA's purpose is to fight communism. Real communism, not neoliberal woke imperialism. That's what they push instead.

Agreed - it's really about power, and in this case, it seems it's about the control of access to oil reserves.
It looks like Hillary Clinton laughing like a psychopath about killing the Middle Easts rising socialist leader who tried to create a sovereign nation free of the global banking cartel, while promoting synthetic, "left-wing", bourgeoise products like transvestic fetishism.
Killery has suicided Epstein and others in order to hide her crimes.
Nah, the CIA's purpose is to make sure the USA does become communist and it's happening.
Yep - socialism for the super wealthy - that's the new USofA.
LMAO. Big, global capital is clearly in charge of the USA. The CIA works for corporations.
All true, which also relates to the US bailouts and forgiven bankruptcies of big corporations and wealthy people, which in capitalist terms is a form of socialism or also communism for the ultra wealthy, if they aren't left alone, so that they can fail.
As Lenin said, the highest form of capitalism is monopolistic imperialism.
Do you realize that globalism and communism are synonyms?
Globalism is the interests of Big Capital being imposed upon the world by capitulating governments.
Communism is an attempt to build a state that's firewalled off from that, hoping to spread to the rest of the world.
The egg headed moron on that Jewtube segment doesn’t understand that drugs are a type of chemical warfare. Chemical warfare is an attack and act of war. We can thank Trump for finally doing something about this.
Trump doesn't want war with Venezuela, he'd lose. The US military is a paper tiger. Trump is just hoping he can bluff the Venezuelans into giving up. He won't succeed.
Sure
We'll find out. But, I see an awful lot of bluster, and not nearly enough troops for an invasion.
We use drones now, remote controlled robots.
So do the Venezuelans, they get them from Iran. Just US drones, against Iranian drones, in the Venezuelan jungles. I notice Trump isn't too keen on going there, he knows he'll probably lose. I notice both you, and Trump, prefer a war of words, to an actual war. That tells me something.
But that's not bloody enough for these people to feel like their wars are consequential. Both sides need to put some soft tissue chips on the table. Then the war can be interesting.
Maybe. Although, both sides are afraid to lose, if they commit. It's a tricky psychological balance.
What Trump wants is irrelevant. He'll do as his masters dictate and nothing else.
I'm not really sure Trump has "masters", probably less so than most politicians. He's very rich himself, and he's old, so, he doesn't really care too much.
Oh, yeah. Trump does as he likes, runs the country just the way he likes it.

Security guards never look the other way even for $250,000,000.
If this happens, it happens. So far, it hasn't.
It just happened, in Venezuela. But Americans are SO SUPERIOR, amirite. And if you think you'd know about it, goddammit, I have to put you on "IGNORE FOR STUPIDITY" blocked list.
