to be clear, this is the plan devised by the kakistocracy in the WH:
1) War on Venezuela, arrest its president
2) allow Venezuela's marxist revolutionary vice president to take over the presidency.
3) wholly expect this marxist revolutionary to work hand in hand with trump and exxon to rape the country.
4) If that doesn't work, then we either invade or just walk away and shrug.
I think that's the plan.
ok rubio this morning explained more of the plan.
We will continue to try to stop Venezuelan oil from leaving the country until they cry uncle and let the US take over.
this is classic trump, thinking that everyone is driven only by money and not at all driven by pride, humiliation, doctrine, laws, etc. Hint: humiliation is the strongest force in national actions. This Venezuelan government will not give us their oil without force, because that would humiliate them.
Sure, if we support a coup and some right wing nutjob general takes the crown, he would work with our rogue nation.
So we will embargo Venezuela until the country gives us the oil. That's the plan. Could take a while.
