What’s the goal in Venezuela?

[Hawkeye10]

Over optimism has been my biggest failing over this life.

I hope to do better with the next one.

#1 goal" Not even Trump knows

You really are fucking stupid, it's to deny Russia and China access to Venezuelan oil so what's wrong with that?

As kids we went to Starved Rock to fish the Illinois River with cane poles. I caught a few gar but nothing else. None of us knew what to do with it.

This is a gar. We know what you like to do with it - but please - mind the teeth!

I can at least see that a weak argument for murdering the boat people due to drug trade…

What is the basis for taking their oil?

Is the goal regime change?

There is no significant oil to take. Only reserves of a really shitty grade oil, no infrastructure to pump it and nobody willing to invest in that infrastructure.

A muscle flex against a weak “foe”, pure and simple. It’s like the dog catching the car. Now what are you going to do with it?
