Business extends to the limit of your power and willingness to use it.

I like that

They have a vacation home there

Oil

Washington makes it their business because Venezuela is too big, too close, and too rich in oil to be allowed to play for the other team.

This

💯🫂

Being the worlds assassin, doesn’t matter.

Plus, probably oil.

Venezuela isn’t just a foreign policy issue; it’s a U.S. domestic issue. The 8+ million migrants and the flow of narcotics (allegedly sanctioned by the "Cartel of the Suns") directly impact city budgets and voter sentiment in the U.S. Removing Maduro is Washington’s way of "fixing" a domestic problem at its source.

This will not fix a fucking thing on the domestic front. Tight immigration controls are the only way. Venezuela is none of DC’s business

I agree 💯

That's the official US propaganda. Try a little harder.

Risk Reward Ratio

When he ran he said he wanted to take back the Panama Canal. What’s next door? It’s related to tariffs.

Is this an articulation of why Venezuela is any of DC’s business?

It’s a theory based off of the Monroe Doctrine, Venezuela’s oil reserves, and maritime access points. He wants it and is willing to take it by force. Showing others they could be next if they don’t comply is the scare tactic.

The Monroe Doctrine establishes authority of DC over all of Latin America?

Was that a voluntary agreement?

Does Anyone In Latin American Even Know What The “Monroe Doctrine” even is???

Think more Western Hemisphere, less Latin America. Invoking it tells China, Russia, and Iran to stay out. My guess is this move is big picture and does not consider the innocent bystanders.

Energy & Market Control

Geopolitical Signaling (Hegemony Maintenance)

Dollar System Protection

Domestic Politics & Optics

Venezuela is Washington’s business because it threatens U.S. control over energy flows, regional dominance, and the dollar-based global order...and empires don’t ignore challenges, especially in their own backyard

Backyard? Isn't Mexico more our backyard and more of an issue when it comes to drug trafficking.

That's our backyard.

South America isn't IMO.

Trump: They took our oil and stuffs and we wanted it back.

Because we can apparently ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is it not simply oil and control? On the surface they blame narcotics. Feels abit like the WMD pretext for the Iraq war. It's non of DCs business but they take what they want. I feel bad for the people because they are the ones who will get hurt the most.

It isn’t.

Venezuela is not Washington DC’s business.

Foreign meddling dressed up as “concern” is still control.

If freedom is the principle it must apply everywhere…or it’s just „power.“

“It’s for the children!”

„We need to protect them“ 🤡

heavy think crude - main reason

BC the West is now US and the East is China, and Venezuela is in the US backyard selling a strategic asset (oil) to China. Same with the Panama canal, same with Greenland, strategic things in US territory.

This could also be America securing oil access for America so that Israel can go full out and destroy Iran. Destroying Iran will mean Iran shutting down shipping lanes in the region.

Monroe Doctrine 2.0

Easy: It's not any of our business. What we're doing is distracting from the real enemies, the Jesuit Order, who called for Venezuela to be hit. Is it likely that Maduro isn't willing to let the Rothschild family run their central bank?

Begins with an O

Ends in an L

Think there’s an I

It is a government run by Floridians for their personal grievances about South and Central American Governments.

It’s about big business.

Energy, construction & destruction.

Iran, China, & Russia were using Venezuela resources. We don’t like those companies, I mean countries.

If Venezuela falls, it also weakens Cuba as they have ties there.

That’s how I see it. Still don’t think it’s our business, but our business is everyone else’s apparently.

I fully understand the realpolitik. There is never legitimate reason for such actions

It ain't snyy of DC's business.

Chevron et el. Are butt hurt. The USA has enough oil, after all fracking opened up supply tenfold. So oil is actually not it.

Most likely Chinese and Russian influence, base building and presence.

Controlling that area too (Panama etc. )

It's just imperialism.

"If Russia can do it so can we"

However control ties into OPEC supply.

Currently there is an oversupply, oil is priced relatively cheaply with lots of supply.

So it ain't about the oil. It's about sending a message to China.

Venezuela matters to Washington because it sits in a strategically critical region close to the U.S., holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves, and its collapse drives migration that eventually impacts U.S. domestic politics. At the same time, the growing influence of Russia, China, and Iran there is seen as a direct challenge to U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere. In short, it is about power, stability, and credibility, not just ideology or democracy.

Latin America is DC’s business exactly like the Baltics and Poland were Stalin’s business post 1945

i think its about installing their puppet to direct the oil and narcotics flows

Can you imagine the money laundering NY Banks can do now!?!?!

business is good and they will be working overtime 😉

let's not forget the 'rare earths'

also mike cuckabee saying this is good for the middle east makes me think our best buds were supportive

FIAT

Easy target. Blame the war on drugs as an excuse to invade the country with the highest oil reserves. Remove a hated Dictator and immediately Drill Baby Drill

It’s none of Washington’s business. It’s blatant theft of oil.

This ^^^

It may very likely be for Israel, with Hamas and Iran setting up shop there.

Playing devil's advocate:

The unstable society of Venezuela, mostly caused by fiat currency, poses a threat to the interests of the United States (the biggest issuer of fiat currency).

The US is going to make the Federal Reserve note the money of Venezuela, or at least have it tied to a new colonial currency like with the African CFA, and closely "ally" themselves with the state they ultimately will fully control.

The US has entered the Empire stage of fiat states, it is forcibly overthrowing the current fiat Mafia in order to replace it with subservience to ours. The US is speed running the collapse of empire, and Bitcoin is here to pickup the pieces.

Bravo. Great analysis

- Easy target militarily -> look strong in an election year

- T loves the "Air Force One" movie. Same premise

- Steal the oil to pay for the "drugs they sent to our country"

- Message to China: we own this hemisphere

- Offload worthless bonds "in exchange for" oil

- Bonus: piss of the libs

Too many good things to pass...

Spoiler alert. Nobody is getting tje 10000 sats 😛

Umm umm umm, the drug? 😆

Pedos like you deserve to scream in pain. They’ll find you eventually.

El petrodollar.

🤗

I'm good with this

Washingtons just tries to help

Oil

เงิน

Just the same reasons, Ukrainian ground is any of Russians busines. To gain access to the resources of the country.

And #trump did not fail to point out that they did this first and formost for US intrests.
