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.

    That wouldn't surprise me, I think Trump likes the idea of him, Putin and Xi basically running the world, it makes him look like the Russian asset so many have claimed him to be.

    I wish our government would speak out, although I understand the tightrope they're walking, what with Ukraine and all.

    It doesn’t surprise me as Russia’s outdated technology couldn’t prevent Venezuela crude oils production declining so it could be good for Putin. I don’t think there is evidence that a deal was struck but goodness knows what Trump thinks about it now. 

    Europe is stuck between these two depraved leaders and their military operations.

    Putin had informally suggested a kind of swap: the Americans could have Venezuela if the Russians could have Ukraine.

    When you look at the precedent this is now setting - wait for China to make moves on Taiwan and Korea and sieze lots of the islands in the hundreds of miles from their coast.

    Who is going to stop them? They can claim America needs to be held accountable before them and that is never going to happen.

    Imagine what would happen if someone would do to the US what the US did to Venezuela.

    We were discussing this at home, that it's very bad for the world. It probably does mean the deal you speak of, and then he'll occupy Greenland in much the same way. And that could end Nato, which in turn opens up Russia doing a grab of other countries around them further. 

    This is hypothetical of course, don't quote me! I looked up about Russia grabbing chunks of Norway previously which spurred them joing Nato, but if Nato doesn't mean anything anymore...
