Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US?

This is the thing, regarding Venezuela it’s become a bit of a hot topic worldwide now, in that it’s created a controversy not in the way you would expect. See currently a lot of Venezuelans hated that guy and are happy he’s been taken. So it’s a bit hard on how to play that,
Don’t get me wrong, how trump did this and the reasons he did it are entirely greedy but at the same time a lot of terrorized individuals are now seeing him as a hero but still very oblivious to his end game on how he’s going to destroy their home for his gain yet.
From the frying pan into the fire.
he didn’t do it for them. They don’t know that yet.
Everything this guy has ever done is transactional in nature, and he’s openly admitted the agenda for Venezuela. It’s wild how many Venezuelans haven’t come to this realization yet.
A lot of Americans hate DJT but if a foreign power abducted him and his wife, superseded the line of succession to assume control, and expressed interest to harvest natural resources, I don’t think it’d go over so well.
It’s also wild how much of Taiwan don’t see the problem with trump either. Once upon a time he noted they are their own country now they feel he can do no wrong. I’ve even had to tell a relative from there he’s a kiddy diddler and they still went on about how they are finding some benefits here.
These people are like when a beaten girlfriend goes from a physical abuser and jump right into a manipulative emotional abuser relationship and say “at least he doesn’t hit me”
once your standards are that low in a country your life isn’t as great as you think it is. “At least I’m alive”…mmm ok so that’s your standard. Like maybe you want to live past your next meal before celebrating.
We haven’t been dealing with Trump for as long as Venezuela has been dealing with Maduro (and Chavez before him). Give us a couple more decades and I’m sure you’d see more people happy to see him “arrested” by a foreign power. Fwiw, I’d be happy to see it tomorrow, but I know a lot of my fellow USians wouldn’t take so kindly. Not because they actually like Trump, but because it’d be a sobering reminder that we’re no longer top of the food chain
Anything’s possible when you make shit up
At the moment, it looks less like a regime change, and more like puppetting the same regime. It looks like the Maduro opposition in Venezuela doesn’t have support of the generals, so we’re just bribing/coercing the rest of the Maduro regime.
