Re: oil:

I saw a street interview with a celebrating Venezuelan yesterday who put it quite well. Translation paraphrased from rough memory:

of course the US is interested in oil! What did you think the Chinese and Russians were interested in, our recipe for [some dish I never heard of]?! Everyone wants oil, and I'd rather we work with the US and benefit than just get exploited by China and Russia.

In the real world, everyone wants shit.

Might as well be us who uses it. We're far kinder than the alternatives.

@Bozza

I'm sure that's a calculation, I can't recall any other times we arrested a dictator with out war so I'm seeing what happens without conjecture

And the Venezuelans seem happy. Seems to be no coup attempt as of yet

I'm waiting

@Vermillion-Rx You havent seen the half of this.

Many people say muh oil - maybe. As much as people think Trump is a retard, I think threes a serious geopolitical play here.

This is aimed strongly at Russia and China whilst amintains US interests.

@houseoftolstoy

I get what you are saying and I'm waiting for it to play out before commenting on whether it was good or bad

Shamelessly promoting and sharing my political twitter alt here, give it a follow (right wing)

@Vermillion-Rx It wouldn't surprise me if the real motive was to send a message to China and Russia. I've heard that this Administration has a fondness for the Monroe doctrine. The drug running excuse is pretty lame; if that were the concern, we'd be taking action against Mexico.

I don't care about this operation too much but am not a fan of bringing Maduro and his wife here for trial. Seems hypocritical and a waste of resources. I'd rather see them grab some of the British and EU officials who are haranguing our tech companies to censor views those officials don't like. Now that would send a message.
