What now? They are waiting for an elected government to take over. Then they will invest. But don't forget the positives: 1. Unelected leader is gone 2. Russia, China, Iran and Cuba lose their black market oil trade 3. Drug cartels are going to lose their home base 4. Venezuela has an opportunity to return to its former glory. If our oil companies don't get back in there, oh well. The other positives above are enough to call this a huge win. 1 Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?

That America will take down the shadow tanker fleet signaling that there is no safe harbor for oil produced outside of American approved trade. This is also for American national security interest as it forces oil to be traded in the petrol dollar. The implication is far reaching. Edited January 11 by paxamericana 1 Quote

This is because you believe your own BS. Trump did not "invade" and he did not "invade" for oil. This was a law enforcement action backed by the military to apprehend Maduro. That was it, we are gone, no more boots on the ground. We were there for like 7 minutes. You guys sit here acting like we sent half a million troops and still occupy the country or something. Quote
Radiorum Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 If anyone actually though Trump had a plan, they are living in delulu land. Trump just believed the posts he makes to his own social media Quote
