Donald Trump has reportedly ended all diplomatic outreach to Venezuela, instructing envoy Richard Grenell to cease all efforts as he grows frustrated with authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro’s reluctance to relinquish power.
Trump is also frustrated that Maduro keeps rejecting any ties with drug cartels, The New York Times reported. Officials told the outlet that the administration has drawn up multiple military plans for an eventual escalation.
Of course all of this was orchestrated since the beginning. It was just a show for the people. The administration was already decided on military intervention.
Now, for the reasons. I can think of some, though I can be wrong of course:
A way to increase Trump’s popularity ratings. A strong leader defending the US that are threatened by drugs.
Oil. Venezuela is well know for its oil deposits. And the oil extraction is nationalized there.
Trump’s opinion of Putin has been falling. Attacking one of Russia’s ally might be a way to attack him.
I can agree with everything but the last point. There is no rift between Trump and Putin unless you are talking about some clown show WWE antics good cop bad cop garbage propaganda.
War… if we are “at war” elections cant happen. See Ukraine.
How can you possibly say we should have elections but not Ukraine?
See no elections in 26 or 28. And if you disagree it is wrong thought you commie trans DEI illegal immigrant pronoun liberal. You are aligned with our enemy and have been awarded a fun fishing trip on this boat. Please ignore the drones with missles above they are for your safety.
No, we have a different constitution. The Ukrainian constitution suspends election during war, but ours does not. There are no provisions for suspending elections in our constitution at all. Do not spread the lies of the fascists.
Of course, delaying elections. How could I have forgotten? This is likely the main reason for Trump.
