    Makes it even more clear to me that this doesn’t have anything to do with the drugs.

    A couple theories I’ve been mulling over is about it specifically being about Venezuela and an attack on a significant income stream of the individuals running the show over there.

    And maybe also some relation to a move against people in the CIA or maybe MI6 or others that maybe are supplying their black budgets like what USAID was doing? I mean… we know CIA is a major player in the cocaine drug game in central and south america. That has been documented for decades.

    My personal impression is that this is far too optimistic, but maybe explains some things. If Trump has the military on his side (or enough of it) then it could be a maybe. Hard to imagine that he wouldn’t have been assassinated already, though, if he really is trying to take out the CIA and more importantly, the MI6 connection as well.

    Of course the enemy of my enemy doesn’t need to be my friend… and this is probably a way too optimistic theory.

    What do ya’ll think?

      I think it’s a lot simpler than that. Venezuela has oil.

        Yea… but the drug markets are underground and include massive money laundering systems. It has often been claimed that the CIA and other black operations get funded this way.

        But aside from that… the financial machinery is down there. My understanding is that that is what the Panama Papers was largely about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers

        Like how you can pay the local newspaper to print something for you. They got the equipment and system already.

    Words are cheap, China can do more without having to take any costly action. Increasing oil imports from Venezuela is one way.

      Yeah, China did this with Iran as well, didn’t do shit. But I guess it gets more people to like china, and view it as the next superpower which actually helps weaker countries, unlike America which just bullies Ukraine.

          Unlike the US which provides weapons and surveillance for Ukraine to kill Russians.

            Russians are dying because Putin places his own vanity and desire for future “glory” over the lives of the Russian people. The was ends the second he calls off the invasion.

              Do you really think the Russo-Ukrainian war is about “glory” and “vanity?” Russia has the upper-hand, they aren’t going to pack their bags and leave before their demands are met, namely the oblasts, NATO neutrality, and for Kiev to stop oppressing ethnic Russians living in Ukraine.

                  Exactly, lmao!

                  Like, I can empathize with the anti-war crowd. Why on Earth do they keep saying Russia can turn around and stop? That doesn’t make any sense, they have the means to continue and their goals still haven’t been met, so the war is going to continue until they are. Shouldn’t the anti-war crowd desire a swift surrender from Ukraine to minimize further bloodshed?
