The Real timschochet 7,543 Posted 13 hours ago Trump is addressing the nation tonight and it may be on this topic.  Forget about what is or what is not âwarâ. Itâs a dumb debate. The real question is this: whatâs the goal here? Per the interview with Suzie Wiles (which she has not refuted, only argued that it was selectively edited) the goal is to remove Maduro from power. OK in itself thatâs not an unreasonable goal; we can all agree heâs a bad guy. But how far are we willing to go to make this happen? And if it does happen, what then? It was fairly easy to remove Saddam Hussein when we finally decided to do it. But we had no plan for afterwards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itâs been less than a year. Inflation is up, unemployment is up, health insurance costs are doubling (or more), and now weâre going to be at war. MAGA voters, youâve been had.

Ron_Artest 2,428 Posted 10 hours ago Taking over Venezuela will not do anything to help keep Oil pegged to the dollar. It will in fact hurt it, as with everything Trump has done so far from tariffs to running up the debt and soon dropping interest rates to nothing. This will continue to devalue the dollar. I also mention this a lot, but low oil does not help us, it hurts us. Below $60/barrel, it's not profitable to drill new wells. Same with US Shale. We're currently at $55. Our current rig count is lower than it was a year ago. By taking over Venezuela and bringing in US companies, the govt would get a cut, and in turn Trump personally would get a huge cut.
