Raynald:you clearly, and i mean this respectfully, have not been following developments closely let's unpack your comment trump kidnapped maduro and announced to the world that they've seized all of venezuela's oil and will run venezuela that is what he said he did not have a gun to his head you cannot reconcile seizing 300b barrels of oil and tweaking because of $3B worth of oil this is not a start and i'll tell you why because of this report https://apnews.com/article/trump-venezuela-maduro-exit-plan-1218510e67a90c136eba23a961597e55 the house of rodriguez had already floated to washington late last year that they could sell a deal to maduro where he steps down and the matriarch completes his term and she wouldn't seek reelection plus there'll be economic benefits like increasing us oil quota washington rejected the deal guess what the f*ck is happening right now you think the us has knives on the throats of venezuela's leaders you have it all wrong the us does not have the cards you think it does washington just exposed to the entire planet that they are incapable of deploying troops, propping up an unpopular puppet government, and facing off an insurgency in their own backyard they can kidnap maduro. they can even assassinate rodriguez. but they ain't getting 300b barrels and they sure as sh*t ain't running venezuela. and their card hand gets weaker with every kinetic action as venezuelans rally around the flag why this was venezuela yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymnu_B7kM0A now that the chavistas are consolidating power and know a clash with the us isn't imminent, they're allowing protests they're also carrying out a purge, which has been reported by western sources many domestic partners of washington are being disappeared as we speak everything washington is getting right now is sh*t maduro would have given to them but washington was greedy then let's get to your statement about the axis here's what the big 3 three axis powers each have significant interests in venezuela china needs its discounted oil russia needs venezuela as a buffer and lifeline for cuba where they have intelligence assets monitoring the us cuba is a sanctioned island country controlled by the axis because of venezuela's oil this is why with xi dropping the ball, putin is sending his navy to protect the tanker fleet russia cannot be blind on america's south flank and the panama canal iran needs venezuela as its HQ in south america but also because hezbollah has had a presence in south america since its founding and they have no intention of giving it up hez is involved in the drug trade and is a partner to the plethora of paramilitary groups operating in the region payment for their services and cargo is an economic lifeline for hez and lifts some burden off iran so it can have more to spare for other resistance groups and its own security needs iran also sees venezuela as an arms export destination for drones, patrol boats and the likes the axis however does understand that venezuela has major disadvantages the economy being the primary one, a problem that plague cuba, north korea, and even iran because of sanctions so any opportunity to lift sanctions is taken seriously so when you read statements from russia or china talking about resolving disputes through dialog this is exactly what they mean the axis is not opposed to the venezuelan government allowing chevron and other us companies to drill as long as it maintains control just as it is not opposed to iran entering another jcpoa deal to lift sanctions or russia selling uranium to the us or china selling goods worth billions every month to the us but there are red lines and no bagger is crossing them without welcoming body bags personally, i believe the axis would improve its leverage if xi would stop being pacifist but the emperor simply is not biting his own plans to erect an alternative financial system that would erase the hegemony's sanctions edge is proceeding at snail's pace all of this is to say that when you remark that venezuela is gone you have no idea what you are talking about the axis is a core group of less than a dozen countries, all of which are heavily sanctioned in some form, taking down an erstwhile unipolar hegemony down several pegs washington had what appeared to be bigger successes in iraq and afghanistan at the start how did those end it is now venezuela where there insurgent groups right now operating with maximum degree of freedom that the axis will lose https://theconversation.com/venezuelas-civil-military-alliance-is-being-stretched-if-it-breaks-numerous-armed-groups-may-be-drawn-into-messy-split-272670 read that to get a basic overview of just how much of a powder keg venezuela is the axis has held that together with ease for more than a decade in one hour that fuse can be lit and bodies will start dropping if the hegemony wants all of venezuelans oil or to run it they'll have to sacrifice their kids and youth for it and they'll still not get what they desire but whether they come or not, it serves axis' interests just fine would the axis prefer maduro be president right now absolutely but a pliant house of rodriguez that actually ran sh*t behind the scenes would do just fine as long as the discounted oil flows to china and cuba and iranian/hez agents/operatives still manage their south american operations from vz as i type that is what is happening not stories. not maybes. not projections. to gaslight una no dey hard na so e easy nai us never kidnap all african presidents and start running the continent and seizing everything in the continent how una dey reason sef -Lord |

Saladdin:it is possible but a deal will have to be made venezuela's future depends on how demented washington attempts to be this was president rodriguez out in the streets yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP9w54fQN3I she could be assassinated sh*t can go sideways fast if they don't, the axis still maintains its presence if they do, the axis increases its presence because warring factions will need the axis to take on their rivals bottom line is the axis has spent decades cultivating relationships with power brokers who will make any unilateral hegemonic sole administration of venezuela impossible to moi, much of this chaos is because of xi pacifism did i not say even before maduro kidnap that xi should send his navy ignorant folks were ranting now putin is sending his because xi head dey touch xi is making things more difficult than they should be even this deployment should have been a multi-country armada russia and china primarily. kim can spare a destroyer. when the war in the levant ends, iran will send a frigate obtain supplies from brazil and south africa and rotate the mission is to dare the hegemony to attack the fleet and start ww3 because of venezuela -Lord |

⚡Iranian Army Chief General Hatami: Protests are a normal and natural matter in any country, but what is abnormal and unconventional is the rapid transformation of protests into riots in a very short time. This is uncharacteristic of the cultured Iranian nation and is undoubtedly planned by enemies.

Obedience40:When you become an adult you’ll understand business is business, no friends just interest. China refused approval for the second power of Siberia until Russia gave them a good discount which is way less than what Russia sells to Europe. Russia was pivoting east and china took advantage of it. When the USA sanctions you, china comes and buys your oil at a discount. This is good because china has the economic might to disregard the sanctions, but it’s still bad business. Read my post again, I said Venezuela wanted this deal before the kidnapping, Maduro would have approved this deal. It’s nothing personal, it’s just business. China will still get discounted oil, the USA had the greatest share of Venezuela oil before Trump’s sanctions and they were not running Venezuela then. Please don’t reply with your long nonsense, let’s agree to disagree here. |

Alamkiir:Where's the armada? With over 10k u.s troops, battles ships, cruisers etc around Venezuela, how did a slow moving ship suddenly become an herculean task for the supposedly great military in the world to capture. Trump needed that ship for publicity stunt, with continuous regurgitation to the "greatest military tag" on the u.s military and then release it on Putin's call, but Putin is not buying it. |

Russia might need to create another navy fleet to patrol near Venezuela and ensure safe passages of all cargo ships. Knowing Russia, they're probably working on it as i type. |

WriteerNg:even before they create a new fleet, they'll pull vessels from the Northern and Pacific fleet for this armada interestingly, neither china nor russia considered it a priority to create a dedicated fleet for the atlantic until now this blockade gives them the perfect excuse to create one inviting your enemies to establish a permanent naval presence in your backyard when they did not before if this is what winning looks like, i shudder to imagine what losing looks like they entered an iraq that was iran's nemesis and afterwards it became iran's vassal afghanistan went from shunning both the axis and hegemony to needing the axis economic lifeline to stay afloat -Lord |

Taking a casual stroll at postage on this thread. One of the most popular phrases one will become acquainted with is the "Axis" or "Resistance" words while the Resistance is virtually dead and buried courtesy the IDf.. the empahsis will be on the Axis. The "Axis" are a group of autocratic states a few growing anti-Western bloc, which seeks to coordinate militarily, economically, and diplomatically to counter U.S. and Western influence in the world. One clown has been actively for months now, trying to "Spin a yarn" on us about the Axis!!. Iran a critical member of the Axis collective was on June 13 deliberately and unprovokedly attacked by the state of Israel, now this happened when both nations were in a state of peace, as there was no formal declaration of war from the Jewish state.. to sweeten it all was that Iran was actually negotiating with the US at that time. What was the Axis response to this attacks?? What was the response by the supposedly new powerful bloc of nations that was primed by our resident clown-in-chief to challenge the dominance of the US and her influence.. silence!!! Russia was silent, China was silent North Korea was silent.. while the US and her allies were busy moving military assets in anticipation to defend an ally from potential Iranian fire.. The Axis watched from a distance.. no power projection, no deployment of military assets, just mere official statements from respective foreign ministries.. the US up the tempo on June 22, and she herself entered the fray carrying out airstrikes on Iran..while the Axis look on. Is this how the axis is going to challenge the dominance of the US when an integra member of the collective is unilaterally attacked without any form of reprisal.. do the law of "lex talionis" not apply to the Axis collective?? I can't imagine a US ally being attacked without any form of response from the US. Syria.. december 8 rebel forces had entered damascus while President Bashar al-Assad had already left by air to Moscow, where he was granted asylum, sealing the fall of his regime To understand how critical the regime in Damascus was for Russia who is also another critical member of the Axis collective.. we need to understand the rationale behind putin intervention in Syria, Syria was Putin hail glory!! a testament that Russia had the power and the diplomatic tentacles to compete with the US. That the Russia military had the power to project force far from her borders During the early stages of the war, Russia had over 3,000 personnel, conducting strikes using from assets from both Air Force and Navy. The massive air campaign was estimated to cost between $2.3 and $4 million a day. by late autumn they had carried out 19,160 combat missions and delivered 71,000 strikes on targets inside Syria. While rebels raged on Damascus, Russia stood idle, Iran another critical member of the Axis collective and a major stakeholder in Syria also stood idle while a supposedly ally was decimated. The loss of Syria to the rebels signaled another expensive loss to the Axis.. another example of the indecisiveness and inability of the Axis to rally around an ally Venezuela, unlike Iran, this was no surprise attack by the US military. For weeks, Trump has built up rhetorics over invading Venezuela.. The Axis had time to prepare.. In fact, it was a daily phenomenon for our in-house chief of propaganda, Mr WriterNG, to show-off the numbers of Russian cargo planes landing in Caracas. Dude even had to bet his life😂😂 There was the case of numerous sightings of Iranian drones in Venezuela. The countless military readiness drills. Yet a siting president was taken like a common criminal under the "watchful" eyes of the Axis. Tankers ships sailing to China and Iran were being borded while the Axis stood watching, while the US navy regularly conduct freedom of navigation missions through the areas disputed by China, just to show solidarity with her allies in the Asia. China the top dog in the Axis collective with supposedly largest Navy in the world chose to cowardly watch from the safe distance of the South China sea. Anyone with any atom of reasoning knows that the Axis is nothing more than a bunch of wannabe super and regional powers Some months ago, it was the BRICS currency.. The one that was supposed to bring down the dominance of the US greenback..that has faded into obscurity!! Next, it was a new alternative payment system that was touted, one to rival that of the west, this too, like the fictional currency has fallen into pages of history Until the Axis can prove they can take of themselves first then they can take on the USA and the West, till then they will just be another nugget in LordAdamu propaganda buffet |

⚡UK officials have held talks with European allies about whether to intervene in the pursuit of a Russian oil tanker fleeing Venezuela. The UK fears support for a US operation to seize the Marinera oil tanker near UK waters could spark retaliation from Vladimir Putin. There are similar fears that inaction would widen a rift between Europe and Donald Trump. As the vessel sails towards European waters, it has the potential to spark a diplomatic headache in the West.

Putin is looking very weak and in the politics of international order the world only supports the strong. Little European nation has seized several Russia ships and nothing happened, you think Russia would bark if US sized it ships? Putin made himself weak and a laughing stock when he refused to take drastic action against Ukraine and European nation, A world power should never seek to be right or morally just. I support a Trump America any day any time over a Putin Russia, but I support a Putin Russia over a Democrat America. |
