#1 Russia and China have played a major role in keeping the dictatorial Maduro regime in Venezuela afloat.

Afloat? Yes, and other examples might include; North Korea, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique, and Cuba just to name of few.

#3 It's all in the interest of White Nationalism, I'm sure. And Maduro is just a Brown Aryan.

#5 Who cares what happens to Venezuela? The only ones who care are the banks who are furious that there's a country they don't control.

Let Venezuela stew in their own juices. They'll collapse of their own accord. Why we have any kind of interest there is a mystery to me.

#6 In short, shut up and let China/Russia take ownership of the oil there. Blah blah blah.

The Bankers, The Capitalists, the Juice, it's all the same...

They're implementing 14th century mercantilism worldwide with the US as the designated mark/patsy, all the while saying (depending on who they think the audience is) they're fighting the Bankers, the 1%, the Globalists... (while they're instituting a globalist system, no less!) and pretending they're nationalists at the same time.

Here's a reminder of what they've done in Venezuela in the past...

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wikileaks-china-reselling-chavezs-cheap-oil/

President Hugo Chavez's government has sold China oil for as little as $5 a barrel and was upset that China apparently profited by selling fuel to other countries, according to a classified U.S. document released by WikiLeaks.
The report about Chinese companies diverting oil was one of several newly released documents that also describe falling crude output in Venezuela caused by a host of problems within the national oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA, or PDVSA.

The documents, posted online Monday by the Spanish newspaper El Pais, also showed that American officials have managed to cultivate sources within the state oil company in spite of Chavez's antagonism toward Washington.

The confidential memo from the U.S. Embassy in Caracas on Feb. 26 said a PDVSA director revealed that the state company "had analyzed its crude sales to China and determined that China had only paid $5/barrel of crude on a couple of deals" - a small fraction of the market price.


Hate to take up the bandwidth, but since y'all are either the platonic ideal of Short Attention Span Theatre or trolls or both, well, there it is. Go to the link for more details.

#8 So wet need to get involved and overthrow maduro so that the commies dont get their hands on that shitty crude Venezuela produces? Eh?

Yes, in fact, Venezuela is one of the few countries not under control of the bankers and this makes them rage. For America it's not in our interest to spend any blood and treasure doing anything there. Let them rot.
