I hope Venezuelans are looking forward to oil being sold on the cheap to Americans.
Sold? You mean stolen. Venezuela is about to become a vassal state of the US so we can have all their oil and rare earth minerals. If only we could have our dictator kidnapped or assassinated in the middle of the night.

As much as I like to shit on Trump, this is in credit is probably the most transparent example of forced regime change for American interests since the second world war. This is no different to the shit pulled in Chile, Iran and Iraq.

Like that other guy, you too need to review the definition of words you are attempting to use. Then you might be able to join the adults in discussing this.
 
I'm translating it for you pal, no worries:

"I'm sorry, guys. I know I'm breaking the rules writing this in Spanish, but I can't find the words in English to express the enormous feelings of worry and despair I feel at this moment (And Google Translate doesn't help either)

It is obvious that the objective of Trump is not to free Venezuela from the dictator Nicolas Maduro (Because yes, he was a dictator) and "restore democracy", because if that was the case, he wouldn't have resorted to the bombardment of the city of Caracas as the first option. That is only an excuse to put his hand over the resources of Venezuela, like oil.

This type of interventionism is nothing new on Latin America. You just gotta remember the Plan Condor that condemned Latin America to live under dictatorships, violating human rights, assassinating innocent people for their thoughts and forcing them to migrate to other countries

It is obvious this is just another attack against Latin America. Chances are, he will then go for the natural resources of other Latin American countries o trust that his yes man on power will allow him to without thinking twice"
Yep, it´s close to my original idea, but i feel you used Google Translator a bit.
Anyway my fear is basically Trump starts a war against LatinAmerica countries to steal his resources.
 
And it sounds like the pedo stroked out again or something:

How about you go learn about reading comprehension? Maybe that way, you'll be able to read something and not make bullshit whataboutery assumptions.

We are this close to finding common ground on "dictators bad", but obviously we can't examine the question of Putin too closely since Trump likes him.

If this was actually about democracy, why is Trump yelling about oil? I can be glad Maduro isn't in charge and also criticise an extremely stupid way of doing it. This is only going to make things worse, with the side effect that maybe the US will have more oil. Hooray.

Bro do you people even think before posting???
 
Removal of Maduro from power may be positive news but it is not known about what happen next, so civil war could break out any time from now and there are millions of Chavez/Maduro supporters.

If civil war break outs, it can get very ugly quickly as escalate into regional level conflict, so if US want to get involved, so it is just another Vietnam style war that occurs in the jungle.

I have to wait and see about what happens with Venezuela.

Venezuela has very major problem with corruption for many, many decades and it was major factor for Chavez took a power in 1999, also Venezuela had several coups in the past.
 
So, Trump plans on ruling this country until a peaceful transtion of power is done, eh?!,

LOL.

Well two scenarios come to head...

1. I don't know in details how Murican law works but they might as well make Venezuela a 51st State by force (even though that is illegal by International Law, but we all know how effective their interventions are)

OR

2. They help in electing a puppet in order to facilitate their economic needs (i.e oil).

And they have the perfect person for the job: María Corina Machado

Nothing good can come from destabilization of the country and the region, that much is certain. Any new president installed by the US will be a far-right puppet who makes life much worse for Venezuelans solely for the profit of our oil and tech corporations.

Yeah, I think that far right wing president that installed by US would be extremely likely to be assassinated by rebel groups, so whole Venezuela is not safe and US will get very overwhelmed as more Americans demand to US government to stay out of Venezuela.

Are you trying to claim Trump isn't working with Putin? He literally rolled out the red carpet for him, another dictator. You're right in that there is a contradiction here, I'm curious what your answer to it is. It'll be fun to see you try to take an actual position.

Here's mine: Putin will have another call with Trump and all of a sudden Trump will be back in lockstep with the Kremlin talking points.

Please try to claim that Trump doesn't like Putin, it's just such an easily disproven claim that I can only assume you worked backwards from whatever opinion you actually want to be true. I guess it's a little inconvienient if your version of events is that Trump is doing this because Maduro is a dictator.
