Trump thinks he already own Venezuela - Is this real or hallucination of a lunatic?

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump pressed top oil executives on Friday (Jan 9) to invest in Venezuela's vast reserves, but was met with a cautious reception - with one major CEO dismissing the country as "uninvestable" without sweeping reforms.

Trump told the industry leaders that his administration - not Caracas - would decide which firms are allowed to operate in Venezuela following the capture of president Nicolas Maduro.

"We're going to be making the decision as to which oil companies are going to go in ... (we're) going to cut a deal with the companies," Trump said at the White House, arguing that foreign firms had faced no meaningful protections under Maduro.

"But now you have total security. It's a whole different Venezuela," he added.... CNA

Trump is talking and acting as if he has already conquered Venezuela. He is now running Venezuela and dividing its assets like oil and natural resources. He has invited all the oil companies' CEOs to his circus and trying to make them happy with his offer of Venezuelan oil. If what Trump is doing is real, it means the Venezuelan military has already sold Venezuela to Trump. Only the military has such a power to do so. And the next step will be to put Delcy Rodriguez in jail, instal a general as the new dictator of Venezuela. If true, then all the military leaders are just pretending and putting on a show that they will defend Venezuela and support the interim President Rodriguez.

There is no other way for Trump to take over Venezuela other than by force, by the Venezuelan military or American boots in Venezuela. Then the next question, would the Venezuelans agree to become a colony of the American Empire? And surely not all the generals will want to betray their country and people. Some will stand up to resist, with the support of the Venezuelan people.

It is not easy for the Americans to take over an independent nation state like Venezuela. And the oil CEOs know this. Pumping hundreds of billions into Venezuela, a country taken over by invasion and without the approval of the people of Venezuela is a very risky and unstable venture. At any time a nationalist leader will rise to want everything back. If they cannot fight a conventional war with the American invaders, they can fight a guerilla war. The mountains and jungles will be their fortresses.

"If we look at the legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela - today, it's uninvestable." This is what ExxonMobil chief executive Darren Woods said in reply to Trump's proposal to move in to take over Venezuelan oil and assets. Trump may be a shallow thinking idiot, but the CEOs of oil companies are not. They know the risk and what they are getting into. They can only invest in Venezuela with the approval of a legitimate and legally elected govt by the Venezuelans. Lunatic Trump cannot think through this and think might is right. Only an oil executive who is more stupid than Trump will be convinced to go along with his hare brain scheme.

Venezuelans will have the whole world, the UN behind them to chase out the invaders. No intellect Trump is getting more silly when age is also catching up on him. Stupidity and old age is a potent combination for making silly plans, as good as brain dead. Trump will not have enough Imperial stormtroopers to control Venezuela and fight the resistance forces. Trump's stormtroopers are badly needed in American homeland to fight and kill Americans, and also needed in the north to fight Canada and NATO forces.

Slaughter the chicken to frighten the monkeys 杀鸡吓猴... Anyone frighten of the American terrorists?

This is a common phrase used by China to describe a situation when the use of a little force is necessary to stop the potential target from committing more serious acts. Trump has just put this into practice in his invasion and kidnapping of Maduro and his first lady and putting them on trial in his kangaroo court.

Trump is sending a warning to all Latin American countries and their heads of state that they will be next if they did not do as Trump ordered or to the liking of Trump. Lunatic Trump has the mentality and the military might and ability to repeat this over and over again. And yes, no one is going to stop him. The hillbillies and rednecks in Congress and the Senate are just like Trump, pretending to be civilised, to be law abiding, but always love a victory, love the use of American military might to show the world that they are powerful and can beat up anyone they liked. The American terrorists that were involved in this criminal attack in Venezuela will all be called heroes, and given medals for it.

Other than the fake pretences of arguing about the legality of the attack, how much it costs, about the safety of the American terrorists, Trump is getting bipartisan support from the bunch of clowns and rednecks in Washington. Can you imagine the outcry, the roof crashing down, if another country or China would to do the same to another country? All the western media and crony media will be splashing across their frontpage news about how evil, aggressive, irresponsible and savage behaviour and all the superlatives against China. But they are now having a very sober and cordial discussion, all smiling about how clever and professional the American terrorists were in executing this sneaky mission so successfully. Trump went to war without congressional approval! Trump is going to war again with Iran, without congressional approval! What rule of law?

Trump the lunatic and the Washington clowns, including all the senators and congressmen are delirious and telling the world to know who is the boss, who sets the law, who writes the law. Behave, or else.

The big and small monkeys are all shivering. Really? We will see. The elite Delta Force are so formidable, so good and meticulous in planning this assault? We will see, when they try the same trick in Iran or Colombia. When the victims are ready and waiting for them, unlike the Venezuelans that were told to stand down, not to fight back. Just watch and enjoy the Hollywood actors being filmed acting according to script. No one will be hurt, but Delta Force terrorists will be coming home in body bags.

Did the world get the message? Would the world just lie down and do nothing, or afraid to do anything and behave like the proverbial monkeys?

Trump is now hallucinating about Venezuela sending all its oil to America and he is going to run Venezuela for as long as it takes. Is this fact or fiction?

Brazil, Mexico, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Chile have all signed military pacts with China and Russia. Almost every country in Latin America is condemning the aggression against Venezuela. China, Russia and Iran are demanding the release of Maduro and the first lady immediately. UN is also condemning this aggression. Trump has made enemies with the whole world except the white countries in Europe that will support all his crimes.

Who is afraid of lunatic Trump and his Washington clowns?

Trump is contend with the Monroe Doctrine and abandoning the rest of the world

Trump has perhaps realized that the USA cannot stop China in any area, militarily and economically today. Neither can the USA's proxy war against Russia make headway in terms of victory for Ukraine or peace talks getting close, closer or closest whatever Trump wants to paint it. There is a perception that Trump is beginning to realize and be content with controlling South America under the Monroe Doctrine, while discreetly also realizing that a multi-polar world emerging is on the cards.

Russia controlling Europe as its sphere of influence, is the other polar power that may be allowed to emerge. The Europeans are, of course, extremely worried and holding high level pow-wows and carrying out shadow boxing to find ways to carry the bag themselves when the USA abandons Europe totally to concentrate on South America. Trump is serious about taking Greenland first of all for its resources, even gloating about bribing Greenlanders to join the USA, before it also falls to the Russians. Seizing Greenland will result in NATO in turmoil. It shows that Trump does not care about NATO's article 5 or NATO unity bullshit and just caring more about USA interests or USA first, if you believe that.

The third polar power emerging will be dominated by China in East, Central and South-East Asia. And this scenario that really scares the Taiwanese most of all, if in reality Trump is thinking about throwing Taiwan under the bus eventually. Takaichi's trip to Washington in April may be sounding out something, perhaps asking for or by Japan to carry the bag over Taiwan. China has now cut off dual use rare earth elements to cripple Japan's military ambitions, which will also cripple other sectors of Japan's industry. China must watch Japan like a hawk now, knowing what the sneaky Japs can do when desperate.

On other geopolitical issue, playing the India card to divide Russia and China is not working, with Palki Sharma now demonizing the USA big time after Trump's remark about Modi plea begging him with 'Sir, may I see you please', with intent to put Modi in a bad light. USA has lost the India card as well, so Asia is beyond the USA's control. The USA pushed Russia towards China. The USA pushed Iran towards China. The USA has now also pushed India closer to Russia than ever. China and Russia must send a 'thank you' note to Trump.

Venezuela - Clown Trump lying to cover up the traitors but ended up showing his foxy tail

Many analysts are now convinced that Maduro was sold out and given to the USA on a platter by whom is still unknown. That gloating of excellent planning by Trump before the attack was all baloney and his clowns. There was planning no doubt by the CIA to bribe the military to stand down during the attack and disclose where Maduro was, nothing more. And that took six months of planning?

Latest revelations make little sense of the gloating that it was an excellent operation by the special forces of the USA, when someone kept the door open, to just let them in and out within minutes, time to grab Maduro and that was it. Like taking candy from a kid. Remember about the most important point that USA planes were lobbing bombs all over the place and yet Maduro was waiting to be arrested instead of going into hiding. Even if they knew where he was, would he just do nothing to hide away or flee from his exposed position. The whole episode does not add up, and the explanation and gloating are full of holes.

Of course, the USA had to invent lies to cover its agenda, just as in Iraq. The drug trafficking charge was fabricated to justify the attack. The intention was all about seizing Venezuela's oil that everybody knows for a fact. Trump already said in no uncertain terms during his first term that the USA wants to steal Venezuela's oil. But they had to cook up an excuse, and the drug trafficking nonsense fits the agenda.

The UN sheep is sheepishness of the highest order

 For all the crimes the Americans and the Israelis are committing, including war crimes and genocides, the UN sheep are just like that, sheep. They can do nothing about it because the Americans or their accomplice cast a veto vote. And that's it. The obedient sheep led by a toothless ageing sheep dog will just put down their heads and turn away with resignation. We have done our best by crying out loud in the emergency meeting, in the General Assembly, but the Americans vetoed and that is the end.

This is the defeatist attitude of the sheeples. They stupidly believe in the system, in the process, in the rules and regulations that a veto vote would override whatever they want, no matter how serious and outrageous the crime is. They could not think, would not think, that the criminals, violators, are the ones that violated all the rules and not respecting the rules and laws. But the stupid sheep and the toothless out of wit sheep dog could not think of side stepping a silly rule that protects the criminals of genocide and violation of international laws.

Why, in the case of the genocide in Gaza and the illegal and immoral invasion of Venezuela, would the sheep not decide to take actions on their own to oppose the bullies and criminals and international terrorists? The Americans can veto, but the 190 nations can still protest or take actions on their own against the Americans and the Israelis. Not going to war of course. They would be beaten up. But there are many things that they can do as a bunch of sheep. They can jump over the fence, the sheep dog can open the gate, they can ram the fence....

The sheep of the world can simply sanction the Americans by stopping all trade relations with the Americans, ie by doing nothing. That cannot be too difficult. No one is asking them to go to war with the Americans. Just do nothing, not do nothing and continue to trade with the Americans like nothing had happened and life as normal. That is blind appeasement.

The new normal, stop trading with the Americans quietly. Squeeze the American economy, don't use the dollar, join BRICS' alternative banking and payment system. Isolate the Americans by doing nothing. The American economy will come under severe strain when the world stops trading with them, stop using the dollar, stop selling what the Americans need, stop buying what the Americans want to buy. And there are many other ways to deal with the American and Israeli terrorists.

Stop being unthinking and headless sheep. If the sheep cannot think, did not want to think, the sheep dog can think or work with a few thinking sheep to work out alternative plans to deal with the American terrorists. Stop resigning like sheep and wait to be led to the slaughter, one by one.

A veto is not the end of the world for the sheep.
