I guess technically nothing has changed for Venezuelans, just the name of who is going to be stealing their oil.
Trying to look for any remote possibility of something positive, I think someone like Rubio at least may care about the optics because he may have presidential aspirations so he may push for the regime to at least release the political prisoners, close the torture centers and just generally lower the repression, if nothing else to try and save face with his US Latino political base that may not be too happy if they just remove Maduro but otherwise just leave Chavismo completely in control but now enriching Trump.
Probably a hopelessly optimistic idea, but what else is left at this point?

Trump will never move on from poisoning us and the planet with more and more oil.

This continues to show how out of touch Trump and Republican leaders are with everyone but their MAGA base. This is NOT good news, this means we are literally becoming Russia, *openly* using military force to steal resources from other countries.
Like usually they pretend it’s something else. Fox News is pretending, along with many others, but Trump literally won’t stfu about the oil, every chance he gets he brings up how the US is going to get their oil

Do they plan on charging Maduro in a regular court? Seems like his lawyers can use Trump’s own words and actions as the basis of his defense. All the oil talk is enough to establish more than a little reasonable doubt about being arrested as some drug kingpin. And of course pardoning an actual convicted drug trafficker just a few weeks ago. Any defense lawyers out there to comment? Seems like he’d be at least acquitted pretty easily in an actual trial… and all thanks to Trump’s own comments and actions.

I had plans to retire early and move overseas in 3 years. Now I have a feeling the people from the US won’t be accepted in many places by then.

Isn’t Venezuelan oil fully sanctioned by the US? I’m thinking our spineless Congress may have a say in this.

I bet Maduro will be acquitted and returned to Venezuela as an ally under Trump. Which could benefit them. Idk anymore. I think it’s time to just turn off the news and let the narrative play out. I’m just a irl NPC.

Trump spews random rambling baby talk nonsense 24 hours a day, he’s CLEARLY deeply immature and mentally unwell and for some reason people STILL report on it and even, God knows why, pretend it’s actually a real serious thing a real serious adult is saying when he just babbles random nonsense constantly.
Tomorrow, he will ramble incoherent baby talk that means nothing and yet again we’ll go through this whole idiotic song and dance yet again, then again and again and again.

The only ones gaining because of this are the super wealthy oil companies and their investors (Trump and his allies). This shit is so corrupt and they’re not even pretending that it’s anything else. The MAGA peasantry is a bunch braindead robots who will go along with anything as long as Democrats oppose it.

I think in the peak of the 1970’s the USA got 3.5 million barrels of oil per day from Venezuela. There’s no oil crisis today. So, I don’t know what we’re supposed to do with the abundance.
SingularityCentral on
50m barrels in a year is a joke. Venezuela peaked at 3m a day back in the 70’s.
Regardless, obsessing over the crucial resource of the 20th century (oil) while giving away the crucial resource of the 21st century (advanced chips) is very on brand for Trump.
What a fucking moron.
