Mikasaobi:
There is no strategic thinking in the Trump administration, they take action and then hope for an outcome like they did in Venezuela. Everyone knows the protests won’t change the regime, ditto military action.

The low oil price is keeping inflation down in the USA. Oil prices will go up if USA strikes Iran, Netanyahu can’t be reasoned with but Trump is a business man he should know better.
that oil price bottleneck is why they acted on venezuela first
and are doing their utmost to create the narrative that they control all 300b barrels and they can invest the $100B to increase output pronto
so that if their plans go sideways in iran, they'll have the narrative to prevent a run up in price




at this point
it is a feature and not a bug

what was the plan of the biden administration in provoking the ukraine war?
did you not see the glee with which the hegemony and vassals announced the economic sanctions that their operatives had assured them will turn the ruble to rubble; cause mass economic chaos; lead to protests, regime change, and balkanization of russia
did we not have lindsey graham under the biden administration make a plea to someone in the kremlin or elsewhere to assassinate zeus

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoRojyazmQc

did they not still try three years later to assassinate zeus




the axis is against forces of evil
and we should expect more braindead decisions from this administration and the next and the next until someone puts them through the wall
then they'll take a breather and try again
the ukraine war started shortly after they ran away from afghanistan in ignominy

when they fail in iran
they'll try again in 2/3 years

Appleyard:
That's good to hear on VP Rodriguez doing inside purge.

But, the reported oil deal recently agreed with Washington is a direct slap on common sense. It makes the ongoing purge look suspicious and her stance against Maduro's kidnap a ruse show.

Whatever, time is still on everyone's side. We will know the whole truth this year.


On the other hand, China will definitely have to come up with something. But, I still believe whatever actions they'd take from now onward would be limited to happenings in the Indo-pacific region.

If the Americans can chose to do whatever it pleases in the western hemisphere, targeting the interest of other peer powers, China MUST as a matter of precedent and strategic security challenge vehemently the US so-called freedom of navigation in the Indo-pacific region. Two can play the game. Otherwise, China should expect severe cutbacks on its energy supply chains because, with each Xi's pacifism, the morons in Washington will keep daring and pushing to the limits on the escalatory ladder.

That's why this new year would make or mar the global order on peace and tolerance.
everything the us is doing against cuba, north korea, venezuela, iran, and russia, it will do to china
it will not act aggressively against all of china's allies and let china operate willy nilly

lest we forget
the us imposed tariffs of 145% on china
last year
they essentially stopped all trade with china
they had to walk that back because panda retaliated with the rare earths

if panda's predecessors had not created the foundations of that leverage
that is how the us would have started dictating more or more punitive terms to china
while threatening to tighten the noose more
they'll start with buy more of our sh*t and then proceed to
stop buying oil from russia
stop buying oil from iran
you'd only buy oil from venezuela that we permit you to
stop expanding your navy
stop expanding your nuclear arsenal




this is why everyone trying to cheer xi's pacifism are myopic
the hegemony is setting the precedence of what they'll do to china
and they're setting the precedence with china's core allies as a message to the rest of the world
that when they eventually move on china again, anyone who doesn't do exactly what they're told will get the maduro, iran, cuba treatment

they will unilaterally seize the international assets of china and its companies
trillions of dollars
it'll be the biggest heist in history
they'll seize ships with goods going to or coming from china
$3T in exports and $2T in imports and set conditions that china and its trading partners must obey before allowing them to sail
and china will be barely able to respond because by then they expect to eliminate the leverage that china currently has from rare earth metals to chips to being the world's factory (near shoring is all about fixing this)
sure, china will have a great military that can dominate the pacific like iran has a great military that can raze anything in the levant
but soldiers have to eat and the first party that the chinese will blame are the ccp for letting the situation devolve that badly when the signs were obvious for years
and the trigger they'd use is some crazed nationalist in taiwan, south korea, japan, or the philippines to kick things off
$10m and green cards for the family will do that




in fact, last year's tariff war was a probing attack
what are china's leverages. how would it respond.
and then they proceed with plans to blunt them.
those plans are underway

that tariff war by the way did not end
there's only a brief one year truce that is extended on expiry
when they like their odds again, they'll just unilaterally escalate without fanfare
heck they attempted to escalate during the truce by expanding sanctions and seizing nexperia

the hegemony is psychotic




see in our personal lives
if you have a foe that acts this way against you directly and your support network
you'd go ballistic
but some are like, panda should hold hands and sing kumbaya

As though you haven't seen it even in Nigeria where mosques are razed down even with worshipers right in it, and yes done by Muslim terrorists. In your bid to defend rubbish you always end up looking s****d. This is why you've often been advised to stick to your propaganda peddling and avoid discussions.
So Iranians will deliberately throw Molotov cocktail into a mosque with children inside the mosque?

Everything Venezuela purchase with the money they earn from oil will be bought from America.

That includes everything from equipment for the oil industry to food, to medicine, and everything in between.



And this is the new regime the Venezuelans came out to the street to support?
No free market or their own decision to buy what they want and from they want at the price they want.
Just only US over inflated products just like the weapons they sell to Ukraine thereby keeping 90% of the money in US economy instead of Venezuela.
Welcome to a new season of shege

emmaodet:
China will not overtake US by doing nothing.
The US is sabotaging their efforts to grow.
There is a limit you get to in life, if you want to go further you will have to fight because no one will allow you to pass them without putting on a fight.
I believe China will become poorer by 2050 if they keep doing nothing till then while their allies are gradually been chopped off.
A tree never makes a bush.
China alone can not fight the demons when their allies are down or boogled down
china's exports this year will be $4T
they think $4 TRILLION is just pixels on a computer screen

when the hegemony can unilaterally decide to sanction ships carrying goods from or to a country and seize them in international waters
they're setting the stage for what they'll use to threaten china in the future to bend to their will
do what we want or no ships carrying your goods will berth in all of africa, all of europe, all of the americas
more than 50% of that $4T will wipe off overnight
and while they're thinking about how to respond
they'll just expropriate their foreign assets

they're betting that
folks that cannot send an armada to open up a blockade on one country are not going to send carrier battle groups to open up access to an entire continent
and even if china tells us then not to worry that they're coming
we ain't believing them

everything the hegemony is doing right now is to eliminate china's ability to effectively retaliate like they did last year
everything
from funding new rare earth projects to attempting to seize venezuela's oil and regime change iran
when they think they're sufficiently protected and china's leverages are fewer and weaker, they'll resume the overt aggression

You see.
Venezuela is gradually becoming US vassal that will start barking at China and Russia.
If they like, they shouldn't help Iran.
If Iran falls, they will install a vassal that will start barking at them too and that is a game over

👏👏👏👊👊. A faction in the USA are on a scorched earth mission, they want to burn everything down if the USA is going down. Another faction is ready to accept a multi polar system.

China is saying am not falling for that trap, you’ll burn alone. While Russia is saying do you really want to die on this hill, do you want Zeus to come knocking, think twice.
Well said
Exactly
You see the bigger picture

Mikasaobi:
What taco doesn’t know is the USA is already the top oil producer. Shale oil is light crude which is profitable for refining gasoline. It has low diesel yields so refineries don’t use it for diesel.

Shale oil is sufficient for all local needs of gasoline. They just need Venezuela heavy oil for ONLY diesel fuel. It’s not very profitable to use heavy oil for gasoline production, all Venezuela reserves are heavy oil.

Taco just killed innocent civilians for nothing, I blame the 🤡🤡 cheering him on.
It goes beyond oil.
It is to cover their flanks in the hemisphere, checkmate Russia and China and also send strong messages to those who are supporting them on what is to befall them if they don't back off

They are sending a bad psychological messages to their allies that they are not dependable.
If am a president of a country, I won't take them. Serious.

You don't understand how things work

Even those who accommodate USA now and say they are USA friends will be eating with long spoon while they dine with USA

If some one that have killed ten people openly comes to you to eat in your house you know how you will feel even if they act like they are your friends lol

⚡Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson:

The U.S. military attack on Venezuela has led to President Maduro now facing trial. He was no legitimate leader of his country, and very few will miss him in power.

But it still violates international law and risks encouraging more countries to act the same way, and to view the world in the same manner.
