trump wouldn’t have done it if it doesn’t somehow benefit Putin.

Those are the worst subtitles I have seen in my life. STs’ purpose is to be read and understood, not to make your video look different or “cool”, the 2-3 words per frame is horrible enough but adding color change/animation is the cherry on the excrement cake.
Bottom-line there’s no reason ruzzians wouldn’t use that for their propaganda, it was obviously going to be picked and rehashed until people have blood leaking out of their ears, there’s no need for wannabe tiktok specialist explanations.

trump probably engaged in this folly with putin having full knowledge. trump and putin are basically the same creatures.

ironically, putin may have asked Trump to do it to get back at the countriy who won’t “return the favour” in Russia’s time of need
maybe to act as an example , to get the others to help Russia
intriguingly , you don’t actually want to tell Trump what hurts or helps Putin.. he will avoid hurting Putin in future ..

The only thing that what happened in Venezuela does for Russia is to perfectly justify their actions in Ukraine. Nobody will ever be able to claim that Russia is the bad guy there by invoking international law and the sovereignty of Ukraine. The US just demonstrated that none of that matters: what matters is whether you want something and whether you can take it. Period.

Bullshit. Putin was in on it.
Operations started almost immediately after the Alaska meeting. Coincidence?
Russia had some embassy stuff going on that led people to believe they were closing it in Venezuela right before the invasion
The US just so happened to escort a Russian cargo vessel out of the Caribbean, claiming to be tracking it.
The VP of Venezuela just so happened to be chillin in Russia as he invasion went down. Waiting to see Venezuelan citizens reaction to the VPs rule, in order to avoid potential bloodshed and political violence.
And I’m pretty sure Maduro cut a deal. Because who tf else gets to bring their wife with them to a trial?
It was all negotiated and arranged. Now comes the soap box campaign of faff-offery.

The one thing about having Trump as your ally even when he likes you is, he is so incredibly god dam stupid he can fuck you over by just doing dumb stuff.
I think it’s the final proof of the dictator mind set. He will only operate in what he thinks is in his immediate self interest. (What gets him more money) All dictators eat each other eventually, they only have temporary alliances of convenience. Trump loves Putin and dictators world wide. But he saw an easy target in Venezuela to take the oil money and went for it. Even if it’s against Russias interests. This odd bromance will end one day, just don’t know when. In the mean time, Ukraine has the weight-of democracy on its shoulders.

This is a good analogy. Maybe Putin pissed Trump off. Maybe we are secretly pro Ukraine….these are only thoughts and I am sure there is more grift for the Trump family than we know about.

Trump successfully pulled off what Putin tried to in Ukraine and we’re supposed to celebrate this as a win for free societies?
This is bad for Ukraine, Venezuela, Taiwan, and any other nation struggling for self-determination against global hegemons.

I can’t help to believe Venezuelan oil production was driven down deliberately to support the Russian war effort.
For major oil exporters the global oil market is somewhat delicate. You can increase production, export more oil, but the additional supply will drive down prices. If you are a large enough supplier, you will then make less, not more money in the short to medium term. In the long run the lowered oil price might drive out some competition and increase demand so that effectively you can increase your market share, but that takes time and you lose money in the meanwhile. That is something Saudi Arabia did in the 90s btw.
In the short to medium term that is no solution. Rather you would want other producers to cut their production – but why would they do that? In the case of Maduro’s regime their production collapsed from 2016 onward to a level barely providing the domestic needs. The real GPD dropped by ~70%, which is totally crazy. Nothing of that can be in the interest of what-so-ever regime.
Except: if the regime is highly unpopular, if it struggles holding on to power, if it relies on foreign security personell (Cuba, Russia..), then you might priorize political- and arms support over the essential economic needs of your country. It seems that is what happened.

All this is true, but don’t forget it’s all backed by Israel. And isreal is the one that’s going to take control of everything, not the United States.

Unironicaly russian autoritarian block and some dedicated trump haters that will dislike anything over his signature on it are only ones against it. You know something is morally good when getting cheered by people who’s city you bombed despite the fact they can get punished for it.
And yes it was likely for oil but that’s small price to pay for not carrying bags of cash to buy groceries
For results:
– Trump got his oil
– after some time Ukraine will get lower oil prices when aka hit to russian economy
– Wenezuela got dictator running against popular vote out of rule
win for everyone

Here come the rearview mirror justifications for the orange dipshit’s actions to lie to Congress, violate international law, claim “we own it”, threaten Mexico and Greenland and basically turn back the clock to the ’70s and ’80s for foreign policy in Latin America. It’s a fucking farce and a total distraction from the failing-clown show known as the Trump Administration.

Let’s hope he doesn’t reopen the Escuela De Las Americas & all the carnage that ensued. This is a massive step backwards, cold war mentality. Would not be surprised if he had cut a deal with both China & Russia for a free hand in Latin America.
