If Putin didn't invade Ukraine over "lands" which clearly you don't know is a "natural resources" what did he invade Ukraine for??
What index do you then assume that the US wants to invade Venezuela over oil??


Why annexating "lands" if that's not the reason for the invasion!!

The Trump administration has always publicly talked about the drugs coming from Venezuela.. Not a single official linked to the US government has said anything about Venezuela oil. But here you are scribbling rubbish about the US wa🤡nting Venezuela oil.

Go and sit down jooor
The 🤡 was even unable to comprehend that land is the biggest natural resource where all other resource come from.

The reason the U.S. is preparing to attack Venezuela is the influence of Iran and Russia in that country. The Iranians are exploring the possibility of building drone manufacturing plants in Venezuela."


👆
The above statement was never made by the distinguish secretary of state, The well articulated Marco Rubio.

The only time Marco Rubio referenced Iran and its drone manufacturing potential in Venezuela was during his Senate confirmation hearings early this year, dude wasn't even secretary of state then🤣🤣🤣

Here below is the link to the quotes by the secretary of state

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/miami/news/rubio-warns-of-growing-iranian-influence-in-venezuela-drone-threats-in-hemisphere/

Also the impressive Rubio the US Secretary of has also dismissed media reports claiming President Donald Trump authorized military strikes against Venezuelan targets

Even president Trump denied given such directives

https://euromaidanpress.com/2025/10/31/rubio-called-reports-of-us-strikes-on-targets-in-venezuela-fake-news/

https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/homenews/administration/5584001-rubio-trump-deny-impending-venezuela-strikes/amp/


While the President of the United States and the Secretary of state has not given the military green light to attack Venezuela.. our in-house "seasoned military experts" and "Presidents" of fictional countries seems to know more!! And they have already given the nod for a US military to strikes against Venezuela

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When the US has tried over time to broker a ceasefire!!

One thing I know for sure be say Iran go use this as an avenue for revenge against US attacks on their country.

I'm hearing that Venezuela have many Iranian long range kamikaze drones. Enough to hit the mainland.

⚡Trump's former National Security Advisor calls on Putin to 'help' in Venezuela.

'C'mon President Putin, tell Maduro to get out now while there is still time' — General Flynn writes on X.

Flynn claims Maduro 'stole' Venezuela from Maria Machado — who never ran for the presidency.
Their dream scenario is that Maduro gets on a Russian or Chinese jet like Assad and Ghani without putting up a fight.

Maduro should make sure that his first response to an attack is to send drones to the US mainland.

⚡Ukraine Battles Encirclement in Donetsk.

Street fighting in Pokrovsk intensifies as Russian forces, backed by drones and heavy artillery, push to seize the strategic Donetsk hub while Ukraine struggles to hold its defensive line.

The battle’s outcome could determine control of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk front.

You should dull this narrative

First of all, far more Muslims get killed by the same elements killing Christians. The Gulf, ratio and disparity is as wide as 70:30, with Muslims getting it worse

Secondly, the main bandit hotspots are in Muslim dominated areas. For example, in Kaduna, despite all the media noise on Southern Kaduna, the headquarters of banditry in the State is Birnin Gwari. Nothing in Southern Kaduna comes close to Birnin Gwari which is Muslim dominated. The same is true for other spots in Kaduna like Giwa etc. There's just lopsided media coverage in favour of Southern Kaduna, usually to create a false narrative of Christian persecution

Thirdly, aside Benue, the other hotspots are Zamfara, Katsina, parts of Sokoto and recently Kwara. All these locations are Muslim dominated. Now in Benue, beside bandit killings, there are ethnic militias that operate there which media hasn't sufficiently covered. Though it doesn't change the fact that many have been killed by bandits

Fourthly, bandit hotspots are notoriously known for being in areas close to illegal mining sites. Politicians as well as foreign interests have fueled unrest in those areas for exploitation purposes and now with Trump's obsession with rare earth minerals, it's no surprise they're interested in Northern Nigeria

Fifthly, if you notice, there's been a collective surge in this Christian genocide narrative from the same people who promoted israeli genocide in Gaza. These are the same people promoting the false claim of white genocide in South Africa. It seems like a targeted campaign against those who were vocal in opposition to Gaza's genocide like Nigeria and South Africa. In South Africa for example, evidence has emerged that racist whites are being funded and armed to eventually carve out a separate state...Elon musk has been providing free starlink support to individuals known to advocate for a separate white State in South Africa

Sixthly, the picture of Tinubu you posted is a classic case of irresponsibility by Nigerian politicians who use whatever means to achieve their aims. Tinubu said that to vilify Jonathan's government in APC's quest to achieve power. The same thing was done with subsidy with occupy Nigeria protests and many examples

Calling it a genocide is claiming Christians are specifically targeted for their faith and in a Muslim dominated Northern Nigeria, makes it appear Muslims have a collective agenda against the Christians. That would have been okay had the Muslims not been more of the victims way more than the Christians. The problem is a failure of security

All that's going on is evidence of a weak State which Nigeria is. The problem is that we have people like you who are buying into the plans of foreign actors who have nefarious agendas, which if they succeed, will birth problems for everyone in the Country including you

Venezuela won't be a walk in the park for the biggest oil thief of all time. The citizens are very well prepared and armed. Some might not like Maduro but they know the intention of the oil thief is to install a puppet and control Venezuela's vast oil reserve so they will fight like Simon Bolivar to defend the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela.

You are wrong.
There have been killings in Plateau, Nasarawa, Taraba.
Virtually all states in the North have been targeted.
We cannot keep playing semantics while more than a hundred thousand Nigerians have died with no end in sight.
If action is taken to stop the killings, it is going to stop both the killings of Christians and Muslims.

And no one here or anywhere on the planet can say these murderous elements have NEVER targeted a Christian settlement because of its religion.
Two things can be correct.

It is true that the US is drawing attention to this for nefarious reasons.
But you do not throw the baby with the bath water.
Condemnation of killings, some of which have had religious and ethnic undertones, is necessary by everyone with a pulse.

I won't deny there have been killings, I stated such

My point is simple. The places that have it the worst regarding killings are : Zamfara, Niger, Katsina, Benue, Kaduna, parts of Sokoto and now parts of Kwara. These are the main hotbeds of the violence

All except Benue have majority Muslim deaths and victims. Taraba is more affected by intra ethnic violence than banditry, Nassarawa's is more of a spillover from neighbouring areas than it being an epicenter

Religious violence isn't new to the North, but the current pervasive insecurity isn't a religiously motivated one. That's why calling it a genocide against a particular group, implying the specific targeting of that group is simply false

The reality is that the continuous promotion of this narrative will only serve to create resentment between the Christians and Muslims of the North, especially from the Muslims, because they suffer it more

What is happening is as a result of the bastardization of governance at all levels
