Caine is a warrior. No political games or woke bullshit.
How will Trump deal with the Venezuelan Guerrilla forces that control much of the Country and its mineral wealth.

I predict that soon boots on the ground will only be used after the battle has been settled. Our technology is moving so fast.

Beats the shit out of Nationalized Oil Companies run by despots favoring our competitors and engaged in narco-terrorism against US. Imperialism sounds great by comparison.

Substantiate your claim. Otherwise, your claim is specious.
Given that Trump does not want to do any of that, most amusing post today.Since Trump says the US will now run Venezuela, how will he deal with the Venezuelan insurgents who control much of its rare earth minerals and deposits.
Vast tracts of Venezuelan territory rich in critical and rare earth minerals are now controlled by Colombian guerrillas. “They have many armed people. They control everything, and nothing has changed. The only difference is that now most of the Indigenous people are there, with them,” said a young Indigenous Venezuelan we’ll call Carlos* for security reasons. He described how the National Liberation Army (ELN) seized areas rich in coltan, tin ore, and rare earth elements in the southwest of the country. The ELN now sits at the center of a new mining boom.
Most extraction occurs in the Venezuelan states of Amazonas and Bolívar. In Amazonas, mining is prohibited by decree. In Bolívar, it is concentrated in the government-declared Orinoco Mining Arc, established in 2016. While exact timelines are hard to confirm, there is general agreement that rudimentary extraction began around 15 years ago in Cedeño municipality, near a site called Morichalito, close to the Parguaza area….
By 2010, as the global race for critical minerals accelerated, buyers began to appear and local miners were displaced from their extraction sites. Carlos and Josué said that hundreds of armed ELN combatants began seizing the most productive mining sites in 2023, bringing new workers to the region.
When the guerrillas took control, Indigenous leaders were coerced, threatened, or bought off by irregular forces. Those unwilling to work under the guerrilla regime could only work at night, in hidden mining sites.
In Amazonas and northwestern Bolívar, where most critical mineral mines are located, the ELN’s José Daniel Pérez Carrero front and the Acacio Medina Segunda Marquetalia Front, a former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) dissident group, operated in alliance, dividing territory and mines while sharing drug-trafficking routes.

Invasion, Violence and Plunder in Southern Venezuela: The Price of Global Defense and 'Clean Technology' - Amazon Underworld
In the Colombian-Venezuelan borderlands — from the arid, rocky savanna areas near the Orinoco River to the dense, fertile stretches of the Amazon rainforest — lie some of the most coveted minerals on Earth. Their existence exposes a stark contradiction: the critical minerals essential for green...amazonunderworld.org

Trump admits his invasion was about controlling Venezuelan oil resources but it is also about rare earth minerals that are abundant in Venezuela.
The question is how will Trump access these resources. How many troops will Trump commit to gain access to these minerals.
Maduro could not control these resources, so how will the US.
Poop house came to the rescue.

Trump kicked back and enjoyed the genocide of tens of thousands of unarmed women and kids in Gaza. A person would have to be nuts to enjoy those ringside seats.
Boy I wonder ******* why?

There was no invasion. The Venezuelan military supported the arrest of Maduro who they hated. They will control the narco terrorists with the support of America. This was major blow against communism which was the main goal. To stop the spread of communism in South and Central AmericaSince Trump says the US will now run Venezuela, how will he deal with the Venezuelan insurgents who control much of its rare earth minerals and deposits.

Biden was also complicit. Any world leader (whether hard left or on the "right) who witnessed the genocide and did nothing is an accessory after the fact and complicit. But American Presidents who helped fund the mass murder and who supplied the deadly weapons used for that crime are especially culpable. Trump is NOT innocent.
