US invasion of Venezuela 2026

My commiserations with le francais. Yours & the EU's entire narrative against Russia now lies blown apart . Time to sue for peace unlike what your policy has been till date of bleeding Russia dry while your economy goes down the drain.

L'industrie européenne démarre l'année 2026 en plein marasme à l'exception de… la France


European industry is starting 2026 in a deep slump, with the exception of… France.

Surveys of European manufacturers last month showed a marked deterioration in the situation, particularly in Germany. France, surprisingly, experienced a significant rebound.

Won't this invasion by USA allow China to justify any kind of taiwan invasion in the future. If USA can just kidnap a president of sovereign country what is stopping China from doing that?

China would have annexed Taiwan YESTERDAY, ie IF they could do with Minimal casualties

Mainland HANS are not prepared for the thousands of Casualties that would emerge from China Taiwan war

Just Google about Taiwan Military strength

Secondly US Naval Build up in West Pacific is a Big Deterrent

US does NOT HAVE any treaty with Taiwan unlike The one with Japan

But it has always maintained a presence near Taiwan to Deter China from invading Taiwan

 
Looks like a backdoor deal between Maduro and Trump. This is too peaceful of an invasion. Like this shouldn't be this easy. Also Chinese delegation was visiting Maduro. Perhaps Chinese and Russian are involved in some kind of backdoor negotiation with Americans to provide a safe haven to Maduro family.
 
Iranian hardware is literally Chinese hardware but worse. What were they expecting. Could have just bought the s-350 from the russkis but Venezuela was not a serious country under Maduro.
Credit to trump he has done regime changes way faster than any other President in history. First Pakistan n Bangladesh then Syria now we have Venezuela. I wonder who's next.
Any small country is at mercy of the Americans. With Russia distracted in Ukraine no serious counter remains against American imperialism.
Dividing the spheres. Russia and China will have to give up Iran too if they want to secure their sphere's.

Iran is not a player here. It's being played.
There are no spheres. Its all America. Let's be real China is only developed because of American money and tech. The Chinese are too cowardly to face the Americans in combat unlike the Russians.

That would mean US giving up on atleast one from Pakistan, Korea, Japan.

Why would US give up nuclear pak for Iran? Korea & Japan have its own issues.

And India? With this, the bloc fantasizing about intervention of foreign power will get up on the threat perception ladder of our National Security apparatus.
 
Yes yes. I was just joking. Would be nice to see Chinese taking the moral high ground against west. Usually it's the wests playbook.


And yup. Totally agree on resources point. The fight for resources is gonna increase only. It was middle East oil in 20th century. The pool will only widen now. Especially with China as a far more deadly competition to USA. India needs to shed the moral constraints it has shackled itself with due to preachings of west and brown sepoy syndrome. We need a harder, pro-indian state
Tbh more than moral (moral constraints are shown for PR) our constraints are logistical and economical. We still are a developing Nation. Although our geopolitical leverage has increased allowing us to do military operations like Op Sindoor, we are still far from carrying out a full scale war without major consequences. We have to accept that unfortunately. What we need is a pragmatic pro indian govt that tries to resolve these issues for within next 2 decades. Although we are strong enough to not be susceptible to overt military interference from any superpower out there for now.

US isn't giving up on anything. This was in the making since 2020-2021 when their media started highlighting Maduro and the state of Venezuela.
Pak will always remain an Anglo Saxon proxy.

Thats just GOI. I am talking about the state. That will include judiciary, media, society and state level administration too. We have got some real problem makers. The state as a whole is not a hard state. Just look at US or China.. wether it's venezuela, Taiwan. US Siding with Russia or Pakistan. Their institutions and their population will never have self sabotaging narrative propelled by insiders as India saw Post Op Sindoor. That has nothing to do with Logistics. It's far more deadlier and consequential in the times we are gearing up for.

And it also applies to being unapologetic over cleaning of terrorist sympathisers and the ones shielding them. That requires a hard state which is pro-India. Current ambiguity leaves the state machinery vulnerable to narratives and inefficient on deciding the threshold of enforcement intensity.

Yea, China has concrete lone influence in Pakistan North Korea Laos, while US has it in Japan, Korea, Taiwan not to mention most of Europe. The contrast is stark. US allies are the most advanced countries in the world while China's allies are either some near failed states or dying old powers.

In half a decade we can do similar ops with medium to low blowback as our economy and industry will be substantially stronger. In 10 years we can do anything we want.
