Bad news for the sane Venezuelans...

Rubio cleared it up that Trump's current plan is to keep Maduro's VP as the leader (you know, a guy who also stole the election and was a "narco-terrorist"), and basically keep our navy off of the coast to extort him into letting us take over their oil production.

Sorry guys, democracy can wait, and if you don't like it the crackdowns will probably be worse than ever.

---

It's a women, numbnuts. Her name is Delcy Rodriguez.

---

Ah, I'd only heard the name "Rodriguez" thrown around over the last couple days. Ok, so does her being a woman make her less of an election stealing narco-terrorist that Venezuelans hate just as much?

---

It's clear you don't know what you're talking about. Have a good day.

---

Uh huh. Well I'm glad we can stop pretending you believe any of your bullsh** tweets about why we snatched Maduro. We're clearly planning to keep his regime intact. And hilariously, Trump is now saying that he wants Venezuelan oil exports to China to grow. So I guess you can retire your China talking points, too.

---

In their constitution they must have elections in 30 days. Definitely sounds like you know what you're talking about

---

Lol, wow, they have an article in their constitution on what to do if your president is abducted by a foreign power who wants to create a puppet state? I had no idea you were such an expert on Venezuelan law.

Rubio was literally just talking about how they debated putting Machado in power since she was democratically elected, but decided to stick with Rodriguez since SHE would be easier to control. There's a ZERO percent chance that they're planning elections in 30 days.

I got a feeling if this was about a natural resource, it's not oil but silver, the oil of the 21st century. I read that China was concluding an agreement with Maduro to lock up 121 million ounces of silver.

That and put troops in the country to make it more difficult to move on them.

I don't know any President that would allow 5,000 (plus advisors) Chinese troops in South America?

Actually, I take that back. Just looked at Venezuela's known silver reserves….they're insignificant compared to some of their neighbors, so that can't be right.

The Trump Doctrine needs to read just like this:

The Monroe Doctrine, announced by President James Monroe in 1823, was a U.S. foreign policy declaring the Western Hemisphere closed to future European colonization, warning against interference in the Americas, and pledging U.S. non-interference in European affairs, establishing separate spheres of influence and asserting American dominance in its hemisphere, becoming a cornerstone of U.S. policy, though initially enforced by British naval power

This is where all our trade agreements should exist. This is where we should set up shop and help all other Countries get to a stabilized society! I'd support this type of thinking 100%!

It takes 30 minutes for a next gen ballistic nuclear missile to reach the continental US from South America. China AND Russia were in talks to put military bases with this capability in the country as late as the day of the snatch and grab of Maduro.

Oil is one thing. We can continue selling it to China, don't really care there. But, having a military base with that capability on our doorstep is not happening and ANY president of the US should be willing to do whatever is necessary to stop it.

Agree with Trump or not, taking out the opportunity to install such an installation in South America with a narco terrorist dictator leading the charge was the right move.

---

Lol, the list of things China was "in talks" to do with Venezuela just keeps growing and growing. What'll be "reported" next?

"OMG 5000 TROOPS!!! BALLISTIC MISSLE BASES!!!"

Yes, China was investing some money into Venezuela's shi**y oil infrastructure, but our biggest concern in the region is a Chinese port in Peru that could conceivably be retooled for military purposes. Are we invading Peru next?

Exploitation doesn't require a large #, it just requires the taking of all u desire. The Venezuelan population was enslaved and clearly all resources are for exploitation. Black gold and silver.......even their women and their children...........all of it..........take whatever you want. That was the CCP relationship with Maduro.

Just back in town and watched the press conference from yesterday. It was awesome and I know the libs' heads are exploding.

In the press conference, Rubio said that they couldn't notify Congress because it could have been leaked. I saw a report a little while ago(I will try to find it) that said Hakeem Jeffries tried to warn Maduro through back channels, but it was too late they already had captured him.

I have to send out major kudos to the U. S. Military, All Branches, as they executed things perfectly and with no casualties or equipment losses. Just remarkable the power the weapons we have to us.

Last night I was visiting my best friend in Jacksonville and we had dinner with one of his friends, who I know also, but served in the Air Force for 27 years. He flew F-16's and also was on the staff of General Hoerner during Desert Storm. Hoerner was the Air Commander for Swartzkopf. He couldn't go into details of course, but as we were talking about what happened in Venezuela, he assured me that the U. S. military advantage is still way ahead of everyone else. He said and I am quoting that "we're(the USA) still ok" compared to the rest of the world. That made me even more proud of the men and women who serve! The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Space Force are FREAKING AWESOME!!!

Here is the press conference if nobody posted it. You have to fast forward for the about the first 25 minutes or more before Trump comes out.

Then someone has kept a lot of secrets from the Obama-Bidenites over the years. A good thing if true since Biden was willing to loot the store and give the stash to the highest bidder.

I used to do some contract work that led to lots of interaction with commercial air line pilots. Many who were ex military. Somewhere around 2008, I was talking with one who was in the Air Force reserve. He told me that he had been at Nellis not too long ago and they were doing dog fights and it was 8 F-15's going against 1 F-22. He said that on the 3rd day, the F-15's were able to celebrate a kill. So yes they are some bad ass jets. And that was almost 20 years ago, so the technology is absolutely superior to anything the Venezuelan Air Force could possibly have.

Must be a sad existence to hate your country like that.
