That 12 days war was really a necessary experience Iran needed to gain more insight on the power and strategic of its enemy. From the surprise attack, to inside sabotage and more. I don't think isreal and US have any more tricks up their sleeves. Iran should be better prepared now more than ever

BTW, just so it is absolutely clear

the Chinese ship that the US just seized is not under any US sanctions

i no 1 even wait 24 hours for any potential response
that they had the nerve to seize a chinese vessel without any legal encumbrance in international waters shows how little they think of xi

when i say there are consequences for being milquetoast in geopolitics, some will think i am overreacting

they are testing the waters
when the pacific war happens, they will seize china's trillions of dollars and seize ships carrying oil to china
xi's passivity is becoming a liability for china and the axis

-Lord
Na the reason I put up that long post about two pages back.

Na only Russia and Iran go fit help Venezuela break the embargo.

If na Russia ship them seize like this, be rest assured the response would have been immediate. Russia don set the example on the Baltic and black seas. Xi dey dull big time.

⚔France publicly stayed silent but privately undermined Germany, then sided with other skeptics at the last moment, killing Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s flagship plan to use frozen Russian assets for Ukraine and denying him a summit win.

The move shocked Berlin and confirmed a sharp break in trust at the core of the Franco-German alliance.

As one senior EU diplomat said bluntly:

ā€œMacron betrayed Merz, and he knows that there will be a price to pay for that.ā€

If Venezuelans are unhappy with his governance, let them boot him out the Nepal way.

Many countries have done it, even those with dictators in power.

There is no fair benchmark with which you can judge Maduro and Chavez. Their countries are under serious sanctions.

And unlike other sanctioned countries, Venezuela and Cuba are in the United States backyard. Cuba is even worse off because it's an island.

So asking whether their presidents have "been good to the people" is always going to lead to unnecessary and avoidable arguments.

it's also a sh*t argument
china and vietnam have prospered with communism
levy the same sanctions that have hobbled venezuela and cuba for decades on germany and even they will struggle

i've shared some of the numbers on this thread
it is evil what the us has done to cuba (an island nation) and venezuela because they dared to adopt a different system of governance

You don't know the history of Venezuela and its politics right from the days of Simon Bolivar down to Maduro. Let me ask you is, it a crime for a country to take back its natural resources and give it back to its people? Must every country allow US companies to have a stake in their natural resources? That is the crime of Venezuela and Cuba. Go back and educate yourself.

Venezuela is one of the world's largest oil deposit holders. When they had the western companies exploiting their oil their living standards were better. Chavez like every good socialist nationalizes the companies .Then his henchmen ran the facilities down and steal the money. If you think Chavez and Maduro win elections fairly I have a bridge to sell you.

Did the President of your country win the last election fairly?

Are your oil companies not privatized? So why is your country still stinkingly poor?

Are the standards of living in your country higher than that of rats?

You have a big log in your eye that might take your life but you're concerned about Venezuelans?

You are a liar. This is the usual narrative US usually uses. Ask yourself why US always place sanctions immediately a country chooses to place its destiny in its hand. You don't allow us to exploit your wealth then we would destroy your economy that's how America has been doing it since.

Nobody stole or ran Venezuela facilities down under Chavez. I am very sure you didn't know CIA toppled Chavez in the early 2000 but the military and all Venezuelans restored him within 48hrs cause he was widely loved.

"The oil is for the people not for outsiders" - Hugo Chavez

CIA tried to distabilize Venezuela under Hugo Chavez by sponsoring uprising, protests. On one occasion CIA sponsored a protest and it was the same CIA that placed snipers around the corner to shoot those protesters and still blamed it on Chavez I am very sure you don't know this.

Go and watch this documentary on Venezuela The War on Democracy by the late investigative journalist John Pilger you will get all the truths I just shared in it so you won't think I made them up myself. And if you want me to upload the documentary to my cloud and share the link I can do that. Educate yourself and stop the lies the evil empire is selling to you ignoramuses.

One clown said Venezuela should start seizing US flagged tankers!!.. with which navyšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Like I said before them never born the country may go challenge this naval blockage.. You wan tango with the most powerful navy in the world for her backyard? Trust me no country his ready to dance with the US navy!!

Las las all these clowns don turn on XišŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Trump should intensify the blockage, the blockage should cover all cargo going in and out of Venezuela, the blockage shouldn't be peculiar to just sanctioned oil and sanctioned vessels.. all vessels should be impounded.. a humanitarian crisis is a small price the Venezuelans should pay for the greater good of their country

The US should tighten the screw on Venezuela and that dictator Maduro,, The US should ride on this wave of opportunity and enforce a regime change..Having a significant stake in the future of Venezuela vast oil riches will be amonumental win for american diplomacy.

Plus dermmy.
Oil is a curse to many nations. I have ever floated this idea to nations when it comes to mineral wealth.

Nationalize the natural resource. Then since the countrymen wil just loot , hire expatriates with strict performance targets. In the case of oil there are so many retired western executives who successfully ran huge oil companies. Very many. Hire them on a salary and performance targets..
Get international auditors to audit the oil companies. Either
Deloitte
PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers)
EY (Ernst & Young)
KPMG
These companies cannot risk their reputation,they will do a good job.

Hire the McKinseys and Bain to lay down the strategic organization of these govt owned companies

Sit back and let the guys earn the country money .
They will make more money than having your fellow corrupt countrymen with their parochial interests.
