No.I previously commented on the U.S. withdrawal of Patriot missile batteries and navy resources from the Persian Gulf, and the acceptance by Iran of a new essentially pro-U.S. Iraqi Prime Minister.

The Empire has heavy sanctions on Venezuela. This prevents them from selling their oil. It causes terrible hardships for the Venezuelan people, (then you idiots claim socialism doesn’t work) but the US MSM refuses to reports this.

Iran is trying to help Venezuela, in defiance of the Empire. I would expect Dumb Don to do something stupid and deadly. Then you dumb bastards will cheer the killing.

They can't sell their oil to Cuba? Nicaragua? China?
It causes terrible hardships for the Venezuelan people,
When Chavez (and Maduro) loot the oil sector, causing production to drop by 2/3rds, does that
cause hardships for the Venezuelan people?
