Donald Trump has been threatening a land strike on Venezuela for months and while the military build up off the coast continues, he shot in the face everyone who argued with me that it wasn't about oil by saying: 'They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. As you know they threw our companies out, and we want it back' which in my reckoning makes it all about oil, apology accepted warmongering right wing dingbats.
Removing Maduro and installing a much more USA friendly leader such as María Corina Machado who will get the oil pumping towards Washington seems to be the call then but if the US goes down the regime change road, it will not be for the first time.
In the last 80 years, Washington has overthrown many foreign regimes and found the removing part easy but not so much the getting the expected outcome they wanted and in recent memory we have had the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Removing them were easy but after two decades of insurgency they left Afghanistan with their tail between their legs and with the Taliban back in power and Iraq became a hotbed of terrorism and gave birth to ISIS as well as being a gift for Iran.
Military intervention in Libya in 2011 removed Muammar Gaddafi but it is yet to become a viable state as it is now controlled by the very people they were fighting against in Iraq and now we are waiting for the Venezuelan misadventure to begin and if the plan is for an invasion party happens, then that would require the US to prepare to pay a hefty price in American and Venezuelan blood.
How would a forced change of regime affect the character of Venezuela who it is unlikely will greet America as a liberator and more likely a murderous bully going to war to control their resources.
The buzz is that the much anticipated attack will come within days as a way to bury the bad news of the Epstein Files which are to be released imminently and will incriminate Trump even more than it already has so on we go onto the latest bout of American regime change in oil rich countries under the flimsiest of justifications.
