When isn’t the US at war with someone? War = money. These politicians don’t care about the people, all they care about is money and how to help themselves to some of it. As for being at war with Venezuela perhaps someone could explain to me why the USA is sending $40 million a week to the Taliban?
Trump is putting himself into a corner. My guess is that he wants to use the assault on Venezuela as a distraction from his gross mismanagement of the economy and his support of Netanyahu.
This is a powerful read — and it reinforces everything I argued in my piece, “Venezuela: Oil, Gold and Why US-led Regime Change is Unlikely to Succeed.” Washington’s aggressive posture toward Venezuela isn’t just about controlling its natural wealth. It’s fundamentally about undermining an increasingly strategic outpost aligned with Russia and Iran. Maduro’s positioning is intolerable to a US establishment facing a shifting global order. Every military maneuver, every bombed ship, every extrajudicial strike is an acknowledgment that Venezuela has become more than an energy vector. It’s a geopolitical fulcrum.
When the US flexes toward regime change, it underestimates the internal dynamics that favor the status quo that include the massively mobilized militia, the domestic legitimacy in key sectors, and the strong geopolitical backers. Such interventions rarely succeed especially in today’s multipolar context.
Using the reputation of a British TV magician and his assistant to illustrate Trump's desire for Venezuelan oil is inappropriate as well as ineffective as a comparison. Furthermore, it sounds somewhat libellous. It dumbs down the article which otherwise is informative and insightful.
Same old same old. The criminal states of the West murdering, destroying lives, and destabilising every part of the globe. When will the rest of the world, and their own citizens, have had enough?
A madman, at war with his internalized father. Sociopathy is contagious if one accepts that both Nature & Nurture are at work on all the peas in a pod.
Stop this madness before the recipients of his projected hate fights back against our whole country.
Maybe we should just annex Venezula that would save the USA the $1.9 Billion it’s been giving in Aid to Venezuela since 2017 !!! so help me that’s 7 yrs x $1.9 Billion = ???? Come on!!!
I just googled how much aid does the US give Venezuela have no idea if the AI that answered is correct really. That’s part of the problem way too much info for anyone to have accurate data also because as you say there is corruption …. I just think it is so weird that we give aid at all when we have all kinds of problems here in the US to fix first right? I mean I live in Fort Worth and the homeless problem is horrible
The total actually is 2.8 billion since 2017. Not per year but in total. Alot of which goes to neighbouring countries to support Venezuelan refugees. That said Venezuela is also under US sanctions hurting the most vulnerable. I also wonder how much of that "aid" is funneled into opposition groups and regime change advocates. The US never gives without expecting a return on it's "investment".

It’s not just oil in Venezuela. Which country has the largest un exploited cache of rare earth minerals?

Death to the Cartels and their Democrat supporters.

Seems to me that of all the criminals in the world it’s war criminals that go unpunished most often.

Thank you, Ricky!

I am so f**king tired of the USA.
Well said. There's no "war"--only a try at stealing Venezuela's oil reserves. Trump and his kind are all too transparent in their motivations.
