OK, will snatching Little Nicky result in a nice quick takeover and theft of Vz oil?

"US oil companies will fix Venezuela's "broken infrastructure" and "start making money for the country", Trump added""[/color]

Will other countries simply stand by and accept it?  I mean really, he could  do the same thing to any country in South America.  Or the Canadians.

How about China?  Good time to invade Taiwan.

Will the UN show any backbone?

Duck & Cover!

Venezuela's participatory democracy and the struggle against imperialism: A Conversation with Alison Bodine

Venezuela is a society where people are incredibly engaged in political life—far more than in the United States or Canada. Democracy is embedded in the revolution and is an ongoing process. It's not just about going to the polls every few years, it's a continuous exercise in education and participation to advance the Bolivarian project.

The disinformation campaign on Venezuela

The disturbances created by the wealthy are part of the imperialists' intervention plan in Venezuela. The disinformation campaign carried out by the mainstream media is a key component of that effort. So, no one should be surprised by the profusion of Orwellian statements and the incessant vilification of President Maduro in mainstream coverage of Venezuela.

By Kidnapping the 'leader' Trump thinks the Bolivarian Revolution will suddenly crumble.

Trump is an idiot.  For one guy Trump lets the entire world know he is a dictator without any principles.  The amount of political capital spent on his pointless stunt far outweighs any benefit.  It will only distract from the pedophile files for a few days.

Benefit, hell there isn't any.  One guy and his wife equals an entire country.  Not.  This is a comparison which makes no sense.  Trumpthink is what it is.  Two meat packages and a country, are not the same thing unless you think you are what you 'own'.

It is interesting how Trump's narcissistic addled demented brain thought kidnapping could be a good idea.  In Trump's world most people are irrelevant, and without any value whatever.  But with Maduro Trump made an exception.  Gold on the man's desk don't you know.  Like to himself Trump assigned a value to Maduro that was unreasonable.  A value that simply was not there.  And now Trump has to deal with a very angry Venezuela.  All Trump has done is hasten his own demise because no, owning the body of a man does not own the country he is president of.

Trump often thinks that America now belongs to him,  he assumed the same must be true for Maduro.  If I own you, I own Venezuela goes Trump's fake logic.

The truth is all this has happened because Trump is deluded and has no working brain.  Trump is a trip without a destination.

Trump says US to run Venezuela after 'capture' of Maduro

[RE]

#1 Venezuela, as well as Cuba and Nicaragua, are viewed by the Trump administration as key actors of the "axis of socialism" — with Colombia also under scrutiny. Trump warned last month that Colombian President Gustavo Petro needs to "watch his ass" over cocaine flowing to the U.S.

I'm really curious to see how they think they can now "run" Vz without parking a whole LOT of BOTG around all the Oil facilities, shipping facilities and Goobermint offices?  WTF is going to do all the clerical jobs and physical labor?  I hardly think the workers will welcome their new overlords, and there are lots of people with gunz very accustumed to shoooting people.  No shortage of RPGs or C-4 either.

Clearly, he's counting on this as a distraction from the Pedo Files (sic) and the Health insurance boondoggle.

I also caan't see the Chinese or Russians not responding.  At the very least they'll supply arms to any resistance.  The only question is how long it takes for this to develop into a total quagmire at best, or spiral into WWIII.

Why the U.S. went after Maduro

If you think about these six reasons, the actual factual reality of them, and their complexity.  You will see the American White House is as deluded as if Trump were hatched on Mars before his orange ass fell to earth.  There is no benefit to the American people in Trump's action.  This is another Trump distraction.  A fatal distraction.  One where people have died.  Sadly to cover the Epstein murder, many others must die.

Doesn't sound like Trumpolini is going to stop with Vz.  Mexico, Colombia and of course Cuba are all in the Crosshairs.  He's also reinforced his rhetoric about Greenland.  So far the Chinese & Ruskies are playing wait and see, but how many Dominoes do they let fall here?  Since he's not getting much more than a Perp Walk for Little Nicky, he's going to need more action to keep distracting from the PedoFiles.

"The documentary The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, directed by Irish filmmakers Kim Bartley and Donnacha Ó Briain, provides a firsthand account of the April 2002 coup in Venezuela that temporarily ousted President Hugo Chávez. It critically analyzes the decisive role played by Venezuela's private media in shaping events—from the protest march and violent clashes that triggered the coup, to the swift rise and fall of the interim government under business leader Pedro Carmona. The film ultimately chronicles the collapse of that government and the dramatic restoration of Chávez to power."

This is my answer to the disgusting requirement that all Americans on the up, the down, the right, the left are required to say "Maduro was a bad man" <- rinse and repeat, before they talk about things in Venezuela which they know nothing about.  Ignorance blossoms.
