🇺🇲 The US is desperately trying to maintain its empire.

🇨🇳 It lost the trade war with China

🇷🇺 It lost the military war with Russia

🇮🇷 It can't win in a war with Iran

💸 It has over $30 trillion in debt from massive overspending and needs to offset this with some real collateral.

🇻🇪 Venezuela is extremely rich in natural resources - oil, gas, gold and strategic rare earth minerals to name a few.

The US wants these but is unwilling to pay.

Empires in steep decline resort to looting and theft.

🇺🇲 The Third Republic which began in 1945 is coming to an end.
