Looks like Trump is looking for a regime change, exactly what is really needed right now in Nigeria, for those who are talking about U.S coming to take oil from Venezuela, I'm not ruling that out, but I don't think that's the interest here, ask yourself a country with the largest oil reserves in the world is so poor and also if the oil was so profitable for them, why are the youths more into drug sales than oil?

Here it is:

1. The sulfur content in Venezuelan oil is one of the highest in the world making it harder and more costly to refine, so it is not attractive for buyers in the world like the Nigerian crude oil and some others, you see why it may not really make sense for the U.S to invade them for something that is not rushed after like others.

2. If a government is seen to be complicit in support of terror or drugs that is affecting the U.S directly then that could be another point, I saw some people mentioning Mexico in the other thread, but Mexico has recently improved their crackdown on drug cartels, though a lot of work still needs to be done and also have been partnering with U.S to take down cartels, I don't think it is the same with Venezuelan government.

3. Cartels know that these drugs come with addiction to the users and there are cases where they lure people with samples for free and the addiction starts which causes them to start stealing and wrecking their lives for the supply.

My question to those seeking Maduro to stay in power, I mean what exactly is the benefit of him staying in power while the country keeps sinking and getting poorer, their inflation was so bad at some point, they stopped counting money in supermarkets, they just bring a scale and weigh your money and give you the item you purchase, price of goods were now sold by weight of the money and not the value.

I even watched a prison documentary and if you think Nigerian prison is bad then you need to visit Venezuela, the prisoners carry guns inside the prison, they have their own police, they have their president and even court, prisoners sentence prisoners inside the prison, some prisoners don't want to leave the prison because it is safer for them due to cartel members looking for them to kill outside.

I notice a lot of people not supporting Trump are Tinubu supporters because they don't want same happening in Nigeria to Tinubu who is doing damage to Nigeria.
Don't mind them. Very ignorant people with warped brai.ns come online because they can access small and cheap data.

Russia, China and the rest can't match the military strength of America. Including the military of the zoo republic called Nigeria. Well, I understand that you guys hate Donald Trump because he has been dealing mercilessly with Ebola Tinumgbu the scammer.

More than 10 US warships, including the country’s largest carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, are bearing down on the Caribbean amid escalating tensions between President Trump and Venezuela.

Listen to how the fake news report their propaganda news: amid escalating tensions between President Trump and Venezuela

Notice how they say between Trump and Venezuela instead of between the US and Venezuela? This is a clever way of demonising president Trump even when Trump is far more popular in the US then moduro is in Venezuela.

See how Ukraine caged the almighty Russia and made them to look ordinary and incapable of helping their allies. The West deliberately used the Ukrainian war to keep Russia busy. You hardly see or hear Russia getting involved in any other external matters except their current war with Ukraine. Russia would have issued a rebuke to US in this confrontation with one of their dependable allies, Venezuela, if not because of their current military campaign against Ukraine.

But seriously, 15000 troops is beyond just Drugs related.


There should be far more that must have warranted this scale of tension.

Can you just explain in one sentence why you are taking paracetamol for another man's headache?
