500 on nothing will happen
toribash's most nationalistic venezuelan here
Nothing will happen, the militaristic move towards invasion is an attempt to flex military might to frighten a strong dictatorship into giving up power
I also think that it was a part of Trump's campaign towards the nobel peace prize (to have another box to tick in the checklist of good deeds he'd been doing like pacifying the middle east and the like) but in the end the nobel went to Maria Corina who has done jackshit for Venezuela
The warship presence also has to do with Guyana having the biggest oil reserves discovered within the last few decades and thus they need some sort of stability over there to not have the albeit super weak Venezuelan military trying something because we already did a national poll on the ownership of the Esequibo region
This is not that much about oil as united statesians always think is to do with everything, if anything this could more so have to do with geopolitical facewashing to try to silver line the republican latino vote
My personal opinion though is that nothing will happen and I prefer it that way. I am against the Maduro regime as every single other Venezuelan but I am more against the idea of a filthy Thatcherian neocon like Maria Corina and her puppet Edmundo Gonzalez taking power after a series of fascistic moves by the absolutely uncalled for US
I give no fucks about Maduro, Maria Corina, the dictator Bukele who's torturing thousands of latinos and taking in Venezuelan prisoners in what can only be described as human trafficking, Trump and his regime are murderers, even believing the narrative that it's drug traffickers in those boats it's still a crime against humanity to not have a trial on them and just kill them; Hegseth and his dreams of being john bolton or dick cheney or kissinger, marco rubio and his complete lack of self awareness on that he's Trump's barking latino token lap boy, fuck all politicians honestly.
This is just another attempt of implementing the Monroe doctrine and furthering the operating years of Operation Condor, nothing new. Nothing ever happens.
The fentanyl talking points are absolutely ridiculous attempts at scapegoating and blaming Venezuela and the mythical-within-the-US Tren de Aragua for not only the migratory crisis but also the economy by blaming the drug war? insanely stupid argument to make considering the amount of fentanyl that Venezuela has anything to do with is below 2% as we all know it's manufactured in China and distributed through Mexico, which has for decades been not only one of the diplomatic allies in the Venezuelan COCAINE money laundering but also has state of the art manufacturing of specialty drug peddling vehicles like submarines that absolutely beat whatever sort of lead that Venezuela could dream of having with... fishing boats? Get out
I prefer my national sovereignty under a dictatorship over being fucked over by US interests and become a subservient vassal state after being subdued by force by a mafia. Wild take to make but it's what I find most rational. The devil you know type beat
Nothing ever happens though. From my beach apartment I've seen national warships doing operations, I hear and see fighter jets flying around, yet I truly believe nothing will happen tbh
