Regime change in Venezuela

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.

  • Last night my mother in law - a Trump supporter - texted my wife “Why does Trump want Greenland?” Then apologized because she meant to Google that.

    Even his followers have no idea why he is going for Greenland lol

  • Sadly, there is nothing new about American designs on Greenland. You can find something called the Technate Map online. It dates from the late 1930s and portrays an America in which the USA has absorbed Canada, Greenland, all the Caribbean islands, all of central America, and the northern fringes of South America including Venezuela. It was devised by a group of anti-democratic technocrats. So, I can imagine it being congenial to the likes of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk.
