Our demented president just invaded Venezuela, captured its president, Maduro, and promised a Kangaroo Court conviction as a narco-terrorist. Damn.
I have been "praying for" the Venezuelans to overthrow the Maduro murderous tyranny. But not by America becoming Russia and invading the country.
Why? The cover story is drugs, but for Trump it's just about the oil. What the hell do I care, or why should the people in Boise or Peoria care, if American oil companies make money in Venezuela? Trump thinks seizing the oil for his oil company billionaires is a wonderful thing. Who gives a shit? The Venezuelan oil company PDVSA, Petroleos de Venezuela, is the major oil company now. And they are incompetent bumblers who are run by the autocrat's inexperienced cronies, so the output has fallen dramatically. Also in Venezuela are the American Chevron and the French Total. Who cares?
I guess the Corruption in Chief cares. It makes him feel like a powerful warlord rather than a cringing, fearful pedophile trying to escape prosecution. And I guess he gets a few billion dollars in thanks from Chevron. Yippee... We are all so happy for him...
So, America takes another step into becoming like Russia. Just invade a country for their resources. But again, I don't see how America benefits by Chevron or Exxon taking over the Venezuelan oil. Chevron benefits. And Trump gets his bribe money.
So... Trump benefits. And the only issue that ever is of any importance in a Trump presidency is how does Trump benefit?
Also, I guess we are supposed to stop focusing on Epstein Epstein Epstein. But that is really not going to go away.
So now, isn't this a green flag to China to invade Taiwan? Isn't this a formal approval of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and then the Balkan countries, and then the eastern European countries?
The Trump transition of America from the inspiration and defender of democracies around the world takes another nauseating step into its new role as a Russia-China like imperialist expansionist greed state.
Damn.
