The man who promised to put America first and to stop foreign interventionism is pushing a regime change and oil snatch in Venezuela. From Leo Hohmann at leohohmann.substack.com:
Shortsighted, arrogant and desperate for a ‘win’, Trump seems ready to risk fracturing his base and exposing America to another failed nationbuilding adventure while ignoring problems here at home.
If the reports we’re getting are true, the Trump administration is reportedly getting close to launching another costly U.S. regime-change adventure in a foreign country. Costly for us, that is, but lucrative for the oligarchs.
At a time when America has no shortage of deeply rooted problems that are in desperate need of attention, Trump continues to focus its eyes on gobbling up foreign resource wealth and settling old scores with foreign leaders he doesn’t like.
A Reuters poll released this week shows only 21 percent of Americans support the removal from power of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro by the U.S. military. Just 29 percent support the attacks on alleged narco-terrorist speedboats in international waters.
That doesn’t mean Americans like Maduro or that they’re against stopping drugs from coming into the country. It’s more complicated than that. Please hang with me.
Die-hard Trumpsters are quick to inform me that Venezuela won’t be any problem. The government will fall within days or weeks of being pounded by the mighty U.S, military and this will amount to more of a police action than an actual military conflict.
The same thing was said about 404.
Here we are three years later.
Partitions and kicking around oil rich countries are on the map im das bunker.
