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.

  • Just came across an interesting titbit from 2019. When Fiona Hill gave her testimony to the Trump impeachment enquiry, she mentioned that Putin had informally suggested a kind of swap: the Americans could have Venezuela if the Russians could have Ukraine.

    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...
