The real reason why trump is pumping up military action against Venezuela

[IM2]

And so we see the real reason why trump is pumping up military action against Venezuela.

It ain't about Fentanyl or drugs.

Trump's push for war with Venezuela is indeed about addiction — but not to drugs​

President Donald Trump’s saber-rattling about potential military action in Venezuela is indeed about drugs, but not cocaine. It is about a far more dangerous drug that former President George W. Bush admitted (in his 2006 State of the Union address) the US is addicted to.

Oil.

Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world — 300 billion barrels — even larger than reserves in Saudi Arabia.

Mr. Trump and his oil industry friends may imagine that by deposing President Nicolás Maduro and installing a friendly government there, the US would have unlimited access to this huge oil reserve, which is five times larger than the proven reserves in the US.

Never mind the fact that for any hope of future climate stability, most of this oil needs to stay right where it is: in the ground.

We’ve seen this tragic play before. The Bush administration justified its disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq with the pretext that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction which, as it turned out, it didn’t.

As US Central Command commander General John Abizaid admitted about the Iraq War at the time: “Of course it’s about oil, it’s very much about oil, and we can’t really deny that.”

The invasion killed tens of thousands of people, mostly civilians, and destabilized the broader Middle East region for years.

And now here we go again. A similar pretext — this time “drug interdiction” — is being used to justify a potential US invasion and regime change in Venezuela. But this is not about stopping the flow of dangerous drugs, it is about actually increasing the flow of the dangerous drug some pushers want to keep us all hooked on.

another quagmire for the U.S., it will a democrat to unfuck what this Epsilon Plus Semi-Moron will do.

 

[DGS49]

This is exactly what the Lefties were saying about Bush43 and Iraq. It was wrong then and it's wrong now.

The international oil market does not care where the oil comes from. The more oil goes into the market, the lower prices are. If you think that Trump is somehow "going after" Venezuelan oil, that's just silly.

the democrats have fucked up a lot of stuff too....dont get to cocky....

 

[Polishprince]

What a load of shit.

America has plenty of oil in Alaska, off shore, available through blessed fracking.

The main problems with Venezuela are their exportation of drugs and criminals to America.

Right now, Venezuela isn't actually producing much oil. They threw the oil concerns out of the country who were working the rigs, and being communists they don't have the ability to extract it themselves and market it.

Wait 2 weeks ago democrats were saying it was about the EPSTEIN FILES, which for some reason have dropped from discussion...

True.

It’s also an attempt to deflect from Epstein, a failing economy, and Trump’s lawless regime.

Wrong.

Nothing has dropped, and two things can be right at the same time. I know the limited MAGAT brain can't understand that concept, but it does happen.

this guy talking about a limited brain?...

It was right then, and it is right now.

I also never discount the fact that Trump is also a sociopath who, no doubt, likes killing people. It's hard to tell where his level of depravity will take his addled mind.

 

[Auld Phart]

Right up there with we are going to war with Iran from a few months ago.

Getting cheap oil from there which is much closer than the middle east is somehow a bad thing?

the people there are poor even though they should all be well off if they shared in the oil revenue and did not
give it away for 10 cents/gallon

they know they have a lot but they are wasting it like it will last forever and not taking advantage

they are the crown jewel as to why socialism is a HUGE failure

 

[JGalt]

The whole reason Trump is doing what he has to do, is to unfuck the country from the damage you incompetent Democrats did.

I voted for this.

Yes, it is a bad thing to wage war to take over someone else's resources. It doesn't matter what the people are there, that's none of our business. People are poor here and the money spent in war can be spent to help American poor people.

That is real America first.

Venezuela is no example of socialism.

They are the prime example, the people stay poor while they have a massive resource that could be shared by allowing people to flourish and get rich

what war? blowing up some drugs boats is hardly a war

NO, the CIA will do the war by installing somebody US friendly, you know it's been done many times, right?

Great! Now do Cuba next, CIA.

They're long overdue for a change of leadership.
