“It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs,” she claimed in a social media publication.
I’m not some tankie or anything, but with Russia being allowed to take Crimea in 2014, and give it a few weeks, but I suspect the world will do fuck all about the US invading and annexing Venezuela. What is stopping China from taking Taiwan? The biggest players on the world stage has shown time and time again, that you can just take land because you want it, so why shouldn’t China just take Taiwan? What would make an invasion of Taiwan worse than an invasion of Venezuela, Ukraine or Afghanistan?
Just to make sure everyone understands, I don’t think any of them should be allowed to take any other country’s land, but the world has shown it’s completely acceptable for any reason, including wanting more oil, wanting natural ressources and farmable land, or wanting to blow up brown people.
USA isn’t annexing Venezuela and China won’t take Taiwan because all they will take is a burning rock. Taiwan may not stop the invasion like Ukraine did but they are willing to die trying like Ukrainians are, and their factories are rigged with explosives.
Trump has said that USA will be controlling Venezuela. If that isn’t annexation, i don’t know what is. Venezuela will now be under control of Trump, and be tossed aside and ignored like Puerto Rico the moment it isn’t profitable anymore. Sure, they may install a puppet in Venezuela, but make no mistake, Trump has shown that the puppet can and will be removed tge second USA doesn’t get its oil. Venezuela no longer decides anything, Trump does. That’s annexation.
Absolutely, it will at most be a couple of stern letters.
Nobody supports Venezuela, nobody likes Maduro, and although we know it’s wrong, nobody wants to risk souring relations over something that doesn’t really relate to us.
This is what China wants, because if USA is allowed to do it, China will just make a similar claim, and expect to be allowed military action too.
china doesnt want to risk destroying those tsmc/chip factories they desperately want.
They don’t want them because they’re still produced by ASML, they want to make the machines themselves. They probably don’t want to destroy them simply because they don’t want to destroy taiwan
Taiwan is significantly more well armed and trained than Venezuela.
