| Venezuela under attack (n/t) on 07:33 - Jan 3 with 4056 views | Axeldalai_lama | I don't know much at all about the country or politics of Venezuela, so should probably stop there but... Didn't the opposition leader win the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting a dodgy rigged election against a corrupt regime? I obviously realise that Trump is complete scum and it's nothing to do with that necessarily, but is there any tiny bit of this having some vague positive? Probably not and it's just another sh1t show attempt to pseudo colonise the place and/ or just have a war to show America is big and tough. Just a thought. |  | |  |

It’s about oil and Trump needing a distraction from being a paedophile. |  | |  |

If it has any positive consequences it'll be a complete fluke. If there was no oil Trump wouldn't give a flying eff. |  | |  |

Let's not kid ourselves this has anything to do with 'democracy.' It's clearly part of the ongoing resource wars. |  |

It’s also about building a legacy of Empire and re-drafting the map of the world. Spheres of influence, control of resources. The world sawn up between America, China and Russia. The old order is dead. It’s about time the likes of Starmer realised it. |  | |  |

And why he was not given the real Nobel peace prize. But it is okay because he is stopping the drugs, or is regime change again? |  | |  |

We shouldn’t underestimate how much this decision last week on use of Troops in the USA plays here too. This administration needs chaos and distraction |  | |  |

And that could be closer than we hoped too. He appointed another sycophant to a made up position for Greenland earlier this week |  | |  |

Someone probably smoked some weed there once. Any excuse for Trump to Nu'uk the place, eh? |  |

Looks like the Chinese arrived yesterday to meet with Maduro on oil. Sure it’s all a coincidence and not Trump effectively shouting “No, my oil” |  | |  |

The "New Monroe Doctrine". Trump's advisors are very much into the 19th century colonial view of spheres of influence. That means political dominance as much as control of resources. The strategy document put out by the USA recently spelled all that out pretty clearly. Trump himself doesn't care so long as he's on the front page of the papers. |  |
