Of course. USA has only taken out Maduro, who even EU and many other countries do not regard as a legitimate ruler. That is all.

Where the country goes next is clearly the right of the Venezuelan people.

Venezuelan people who still wish to keep Maduro as their country’s ruler have got no right to do so. That is all. - @VCheng the genius

That would make sense only if Trump hadn't shown already just how much he supports Putin.

I would prefer someone who acts like me to deal with even if I don't agree with them on everything instead of someone totally unknown or of a different mindset group.

Not exactly - the shale situation is pretty fragile and drilling is more frequent(which adds overall costs even if it helps subcontractors) and take it from someone who has been to Midland, Delaware and my home state north of Greeley.

The costs simply cannot match Venezuelan crude even with subsidies.

Venezuelan crude is itself pretty bad in quality, actually, being primarily ultraheavy and dense, and with a high sulfur content on top. There are only a few refineries in the world capable of refining it to make it usable at all, and that is not cheap to do.

Yep. They're like waving a tactical flash light at space asking God 'Hey God, let's see what you're made of'

Yes, but you are far more rational than the Great Orange Shitstain in the White House these days, for sure.

If they wished to keep him then why did his own loyalists hide in a mall and no people were out in the streets?
The actions done by the US would be much much more difficult if Maduro was actually a truly populist leader.

The mission wasn't accomplished in his time but it was accomplished in the Mesopotamian region eventually. The US-led forces overran Iraq in 21 days during the conventional phase of the war (blitzkrieg). So there's that. However, Bush admin decided to dismantle Iraqi institutions including Iraqi Army and create a new Iraqi political system, this reset compelled many Iraqi soldiers to join Iraqi rebels and other countries such as Syria and Iran supported them. The Iraqi insurgency expanded and claimed many lives but the US did not give up on Iraq under successive governments and the US have managed to reshape Iraqi political landscape in the end. The war also expanded to Syria leading to collapse of the Assad regime there in time and now Iran is exposed. The once dominant Ba'athist political reality of the region is history.

American playbook for Venezuela seems to be different. Saddam wasn't taken out early on but Maduro is taken out early on. Maduro regime is in shock and the strategic calculus have shifted overnight in the region. The US went straight for the head of the snake and removed it in this case. This is a new style of war. There are other chess pieces in this playbook. The CIA is active in Venzuela and Venzuelan opposition is making its move. Let's see what happens.

But my point is that the US have changed the playbook.

What about it? The Bush family has been in the oil business forever, and then there is the history with Saudi Arabia since the Roosevelt days. And that is just one country. Many other countries are in the same business.

We can but wait and see. US domestic supplies have been made pretty robust, and that is the basic foundation for any further energy strategies on a global basis.

FFS Cheng you been waiting and seeing for over a decade since I been reading your posts on here.

you have little to say or add to meaningful discussion I am surprised that a doctor would have so much time to come on here and talk nonsense. Are you really a doctor? Which school gave you a degree?

The theory of flooding the market. Keywords “in much larger doses”, “large amounts of oil”. That will surely tank the prices.

There is what eschatology(in all its adulterated forms) makes you believe and what at least from pure metrics and history shows.

No, I'm telling you foreal if the Jews **** around they're gonna find out. You don't know anything about how Arabs are. There's a reason the dirty Jews and US are intervening in region every time something little happens. Even when Syrians went after the Druze terrorist militia the whole world began intervening and threatening them. They can finish Kurdish and Druze terrorist militias in one week it's the US and Israel that will start bombing the Middle East as a result.

The rest of middle eastern population aren't ready for such a war but when they are we will make the moves to take region back.
