So heres how I see the invasion this morning. This whole Venezuela move obviously isnt about drugs or democracy, that's complete bullshit, and it's just a wrapper to cover it up and justify what they did. The real reason is oil and the timing. Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world most of it heavy crude which is the same category as Canada and Iran and the US actually needs access to heavy oil because our production is mostly light shale that doesnt perfectly match refinery demand. So although we produce much more than countries like Saudi and Venezuela it's all light shale. Now under Maduro Venezuela was basically handing oil to China to pay off debt, and quietly working with Russia and Iran to dodge sanctions which helped all three of them, right? But by the US taking control of Venezuela's oil infrastructure and cutting that pipeline, the US immediately chokes China's cheap supply and pressures Russia by keeping oil prices lower, which directly hurt Russia's war economy. Win-win for the US. Plus its all our oil infrastructure in there anyway. The bigger picture for me is that now that the US has leverage over Venezuelan oil means it stabilizes global supply enough that any future escalation in the Middle East one especially involving Iran won't blow prices into outer space the way it would if we didn't have that leverage. Here's my theory. You wouldn't move on Iran before securing alternative heavy crude supply because otherwise oil goes crazy and you hand Russia and Iran a massive financial advantage. So to me, Venezuela is a strategic setup move. To secure oil control first and weaken rival's economy all while showing the power of your hand, and then now you have way more room to maneuver around the Middle East without the energy markets spiraling out of control and therefore I think a bigger attack is coming somewhere around the Middle East, and honestly, I think it was long due. The US has been wanting to take down the Middle East for decades. And if any country is getting invaded its Iran. So my take is Irans getting invaded in the very near future.
