US invasion of Venezuela 2026

Dirty bomb isn't a proper nuke just releases lot of radiation, Iran will send radioactive pataki just to get nuked in return by the joos.
now it will be more urgent for them to test a bomb or accept a take over.

Not necessary, there is some thing called dirty bomb. Nuke is all about threat and the damage it may cause, that is the deterrent.
 
Wherever there's oil, democracy arrives on an aircraft carrier 🤣
Have to say the way you cunning and treacherous lot played the "democracy " and kept bin Laden and other Al Qaeda donkeys while "democracy" was in Afghanistan was something indeed although now the cost of hosting those subhuman mass murderers now has birthed a problem in your western border 😂. Never feed a dog which bites the same hand!
 
I'll just drop this here and then quickly leave before some geniuses try to tell me how a 3 hour operation to remove a narco-terrorist and human rights abuser is the same as spending 4 years (and counting) annexing a democracy, stealing its children and resources and flattening every inhabited area you pass through... and then somehow drags the British Empire into the conversation before temp-banning me for suggesting that they might not be geniuses.

National drug policies are bound by commitments to international law. The three key treaties shaping international law on drugs are:

  • The 1961 UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs
  • The 1971 UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances
  • The 1988 UN Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances
The UN drug control conventions are binding agreements that require countries to ban the supply of controlled drugs for non-medical or scientific use. This is a primary barrier to drug policy reform at the national level. However, an increasing number of countries (e.g. Canada) are deviating from these restrictions by legalising cannabis.

Venezuela: UN investigators accuse authorities of crimes against humanity

United Nations (UN) investigators say Venezuela's government has "committed egregious violations" amounting to crimes against humanity.

Cases of killings, torture, violence and disappearances were investigated in a fact-finding mission for the UN Human Rights Council.

The UN team said President Nicolás Maduro and other top officials were implicated.

Venezuela’s National Guard linked to killings, torture and repression, UN probe finds

Venezuela’s Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) has been implicated in a decade-long pattern of killings, arbitrary detentions, torture and sexual violence targeting protesters and opponents of President Nicolás Maduro, according to a new report from UN-appointed investigators on Thursday.

Maduro helped manage and ultimately lead the Cartel of the Suns, a Venezuelan drug-trafficking organization comprised of high-ranking Venezuelan officials. As he gained power in Venezuela, Maduro participated in a corrupt and violent narco-terrorism conspiracy with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. Maduro negotiated multi-ton shipments of FARC-produced cocaine; directed the Cartel of the Suns to provide military-grade weapons to the FARC; coordinated with narcotics traffickers in Honduras and other countries to facilitate large-scale drug trafficking; and solicited assistance from FARC leadership in training an unsanctioned militia group that functioned, in essence, as an armed forces unit for the Cartel of the Suns.
In March 2020, Maduro was charged in the Southern District of New York for narco-terrorism, conspiracy to import cocaine, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.

“Today we announce criminal charges against Nicolás Maduro Moros for running, together with his top lieutenants, a narco-terrorism partnership with the FARC for the past 20 years,” said U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman. “The scope and magnitude of the drug trafficking alleged was made possible only because Maduro and others corrupted the institutions of Venezuela and provided political and military protection for the rampant narco-terrorism crimes described in our charges. As alleged, Maduro and the other defendants expressly intended to flood the United States with cocaine in order to undermine the health and wellbeing of our nation. Maduro very deliberately deployed cocaine as a weapon. While Maduro and other cartel members held lofty titles in Venezuela’s political and military leadership, the conduct described in the Indictment wasn’t statecraft or service to the Venezuelan people. As alleged, the defendants betrayed the Venezuelan people and corrupted Venezuelan institutions to line their pockets with drug money.”
 
One thing that is certain is that there's nothing for people of Venezuela,
Who will be running the country nobody knows, will the US companies gonna negotiate with Venezuela for favourable deal nobody knows, will the Venezuela have control over the natural resources nobody can tell that,
The current US adminstrations see's Venezuela as colonial State whose national resources are us properties, and the companies will don't give a damn about the Venezuela public,
Nobody knows who's going to run the country, but we do know it's not Machado, Will the people gonna support the new puppet leader?

The current adminstration have started declaring Venezuela has 51 state, it can turn into a better State it can turn into worse, there's both possibilities,

The oil cartels of gluf are going to start to loose the money, once the oil get's drilled out, it's only the USA who will be going to decide the market prices, the biggest producer,
The Russians already started have showing concerns,

Correct assessment!
US energy and economic security interest will be unlocking the natural resources which were kept untouched past century. The whole of Latin america and Caribbean basically is US economic zone. I am more concerned about will there be shift of major share from Saudi Arab oil industry to Latin America?

The US refineries we're purposely bulit for the Venezuela oil, before chavez nationalize the oil sector and screwed the US, now USA getting them back, they can easily refine the Venezuela oils, and they can pump as much They want,
US companies can sweep most of the majority markets, they will offer oil in less price than what the gulf cartel offers or the Russians, EU Will buy form USA, so do india & others,

Venezuela was previously been sanctioned, so there oil was off market for most of the customer and the Venezuela didn't had the infrastructure to drill oil which to satisfy the need of global market, now there's no such problem & Venezuela being the country with largest oil reserves, indeed the USA will dominate the oil market,

The gulfs are gonna get hurt, but the oil producers like Canada, Malaysia, Nigeria, also ambani too will lose money

We don't buy refined oils, only crude oil. If they can sell crude oil at lower price, then yeas we should buy it.
 
Basically, if you're a scumbag narco-terrorist dictator, with multiple human rights abuses, then you need to be sure that at least one of the following is true:

a) You are not a friend of Russia or China; or

b) You live in a worthless sh1t-hole.

This is clearly better than the adversaries' approach of, we'll remove you anyway and impose a sock-puppet dictator regardless of democratic status and absence of crimes if it's convenient to us, or inconvenient to our opponents.

Those are your two choices, pick one.

That said, I'm yet to be convinced there has been a regime change in Venezuela. What Trump says and what actually is, often bear no correlation.

It should be criminal to be rich in natural resources and not have nuclear bomb and missiles to deliver it. I hope great minds in ottawa are reading it right.

What does this have to do with the U.K? It was American forces that conducted the operation. Even a child can tell that this was not about Narcotics. Yes, clearly it was not done to change the leadership over there. They simply wanted to improve the living standard of those poor lads living in Venezuela.

Welcome back Paddy . How was your tour of duty in the international regiment fighting for Ukraine? Came to the same conclusion as the rest of the world that Russia's bleeding the EU economies dry by indulging in a war of attrition which the Russians can afford but not the EU member states ?

As far as the rest of your tripe goes , we've seen how al Shar'a was wined & dined , hosted & feted in the US & Europe . How was yesterday's terrorist leader rehabilitated ? How was he suddenly beatified ?

Let me add to the list . There's KSA who've been indulging in similar repression since ages. Then there's Egypt . Then there's your favourite DPRK & China. How come your conscience wasn't troubled by all their deeds Paddy ?

Lots of it . And the Islamic groups there have been literally genociding the Xtians & other non Muslim religious groups there since long.

The list is a long one. How come your conscience wasn't troubled by all their deeds Paddy ?

Thanks for the candidness Paddy. Finally you're seeing geo politics the way it is meant to be seen . As realpolitik .

Wonder if you're part of the experiment Musk's running with neural networks . I mean if they're proven on Paddys they can work on any other ethnicity around the world.

For this is the most intelligent post I've seen from you in all the 10 years I've had the misfortune of reading your posts.

I mean AI coupled with neural networks are meant to benefit the underprivileged in society. There's hope for all those afflicted with the disease now having already assumed the shape of a pandemic in the west namely the Paddyfication of the west.

Returning to the points you've raised , wonder if you've considered the repercussions of this and previous moves by the US & its vassals in Europe or across the world.

For one the USD is on the decline. Countries are gradually moving away from US bond markets to invest in bullion. That's the theme for the rest of this century where precious metals will stage a comeback after a brief period of being overshadowed by the petro dollar.

This is the direct outcome of the west seizing close to 300 billion USD in Russian assets in the west to pay for the war in Ukraine. The rest of the world has taken note & are gradually diversifying their investments.

Now comes this move of taking a head of state as prisoner. Short term it puts all those opposed to the US on guard . Long term the west's rules based order has been flushed down the commode.

If the CCP didn't have a bee in its bonnet about taking Taiwan by the end of this decade , this would truly be China's century.

Fortunately for the world that's not going to be the case & like in WW-2 where peer nations clashed giving rise to a new world order where the previous super powers UK & Little Britain were replaced by the USSR & the US , with the allies winning a Pyrrhic victory , something similar is in store this time around.

The Chinese are betting on the decline of the US & the US led west. They're right . Just not in the way the Chinese think this is going to unfold for they will be to precipitate the end the west led existing world order with them going down in the bargain.

The EU would face the same fate with the Russians in war in Ukraine once the current instalment ends & war is joined in a few years around the same time the Chinese move in on Taiwan , DPRK unleashes hell on RoK , Iran initiates war in the ME or an over confident Israel does so.

The upshot is no Marshal Plan to bail out the allies with the US economy & the USD being in free fall. Long term the US doesn't remain United but that's a long way off.

In the meanwhile Europe is pauperised & what's more there are all those lovely lovely set of Muslims you've imported wholesale to add colour to your rather dull existence. Add falling native TFR while their's is exploding & you're in for real Rock n Roll times Paddy.

I'd be cautious if I were you . Unlike Germany , the UK has always been prosperous pimping on its Empire . With that gone there's the UK's been in a state of slow decline.

And with the collapse of the existing rules based global order Little Britain would be tempted to resurrect the empire beginning with Paddyland.

Let's see how many of these predictions come true in a decade or a decade and a half.

Alhamdulillah !

PS - since we go back a long way & what the hell , you've been a great pal , may I recommend moving to Australia . That's the only western country with a bright future .

Alternatively if you choose to stay back in Little Britain , may I suggest classes in Arabic for better understanding of the Koran .

It's a virile man's religion . And that's exactly what Europe especially Little Britain needs to rejuvenate their society much like what Constantine 1700 years ago when he got the Roman Empire to adopt Xtianity.

Alhamdulillah once again.
