Regime change in Venezuela

TheCatWoman

Trump has bombed and captured Venezuela and taken it's president to America to stand trial for frug smuggling or terrorism or something like that. He says America is going to be running the country from now until a new government can be elected. One friendly to the USA no doubt.

I think this is all about oil personally and havving control of Venezuela's huge mineral resources, for someone who didn't want to have any more foreign adventures Trump seems to be pretty gung-ho about meddling in other countries. I wonder if Iran will be next? He's made threatening noises before and now that the Iranian people are protesting against their government I wonder if he'll be able to resist? 

Does the world need more conflict on another continent? I don't think so, I think this will destabilise the world even more, not that I support Maduro and his cronies, but I think an outright attack like this is dangerous, I wonder how the rest of South America is feeling about it, do they feel any safer or more in danger?

Both Venezuela and Iran are pally with Russia, could this all be a way of getting at Putin and what will his reaction be to some of his allies being taken over by the USA? Looks like 2026 has got off with the wrong sort of bangs.

    Anything to distract from the Epstein files I guess - can't have people thinking the Dementure Donnie is a kiddie fiddler after all.

    To think we have 3 more years of this ahead - oh dear!

    Might dash any 'hopes' as a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize too!

    I hope it does, although he'll probably be so disapointed he'll take pot shots at the Nobel Committee.

    I think Greenland would be a harder target than Venezuela, it would put him directly at loggerheads with Europe and NATO, I know he dosen't have much time for either organisation, but it would anger Russia and they could be a far bigger problem and I think it could push other nations more towards China.

    I agree that the Venezeulan VP is between a rock and a hard place, I think Trump is going to try and asset strip the country with his "panel" of people who he says is going to "help" run the country.

    The Americans will stay it has the highest amount of oil (proven) of anywhere on the planet.

    I don't think many in the USA are that happy about it either. They may be glad Maduro's gone, but what will end up in his place? It could turn into another blood bath with different cartels opperating.

    Iran has been a friend of Venezuela too, along I think with North Korea and Russia, this could have far greater consequenses than the Trump tea imagine. I can't see how they are going to run things without having boots on the ground which Trump promised he wouldn't do, he's not entirely popular with his MAGA base so they could give him all sorts of trouble.
