How will Trump deal with the Venezuelan Guerrilla forces that control much of the Country and its mineral wealth.

[JLW]

<~~~~~~~~~~>​

AI say's:
Trump stated that the U.S. will facilitate the extraction and sale of Venezuelan oil through the following methods:

• Direct Corporate Investment: Major U.S. oil companies will be sent into Venezuela to invest billions of dollars to "fix" and rebuild the country's "badly broken" oil infrastructure.
• U.S. Administrative Control: Trump stated a group of U.S. officials—including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—will oversee the country's administration and oil production until a "proper transition" occurs.
• Military Presence: U.S. forces will remain in the country to provide security for oil companies and their operations, with Trump noting he is "not afraid of boots on the ground".
• Reimbursement Model: Trump specified that U.S. companies will be "reimbursed" for their upfront investments through the subsequent flow of oil.

Maduro could not control these resources, so how will the US.

Maduro isnt Exon, who can afford to bring in teams of ex SEALs to protect their oil pumps.

The President took a criminal.

The rest of your post is irrelevant bullshit.

How does Maduro's alleged criminality compare to that of convicted criminal Juan Orlando Hernando?

What was Honduras ex-president convicted of and why has Trump pardoned him?

Most likely so he would talk.

I don’t think Trump will ever be satisfied and will keep control of the oil

I am not worried about the oil

But we must be careful not to get too involved in Venezuela

I think are plenty of communists who are ready for war

That is not a war we should get involved in

Democrats here still haven't figured out that this President isn't going to fight wars like the previous presidents have.

He'll be even worse, more reckless, less willing to listen to advice, and he will lecture his generals that he knows more than they do.

You remember that other guy who did the same thing?

Yea, I didn't think you did.

You're an idiot in full bloom. Go back to your seat in the McDonald's children's play area.

Good lord, you are way up Trump's ass.

Nah, I’m just not a reflexive douche like you

How do you even breathe in there?

You are not thinking about the "war" I'm picturing.

I'm picturing drones and mercs, not jungle warfare.

Trump trusts "Raising Caine". Dan Caine knows his business.

Sounds like good work for some unemployed mercenaries.

There were at least 4 occasions in his first term where he said he knew more than the generals.

Now he is even dumber, more reckless, and twice as dangerous.

Obviously, none of us wants any kind of long engagement/ground war/no withdrawal date disaster. We've had our fill of those.
My thinking is that Trump isn't George W. Bush. Or Barack Obama or Joe Biden and that he's learned lessons from them and their utterly failed policies.
That's because he is so much smarter than any Democrat or Leftist gives him credit for, light years beyond the cartoon caricature image of Trump in their lizard brains.

The cartoon version of Trump in your mind is.
But that doesn't match up with reality.

Reality is something Trump has always had trouble grasping. I could literally give you hundreds of examples if I cared to.

Relevance to anything?

True. None of the generals said that they could defeat ISIS in 2-weeks except Caine, Trump gave him his shot and he came thru, Trump-47 made him Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and he's never failed since. Trump trusts his judgment.
