What’s your opinion of the operation in Venezuela?

a few...

- I'm glad it went as quick as it did... and it didn't lead to a nation-spread bloodshed

- and, yes, this was absolutely because of the oil and also to take the attention away from the E-files...

- yes... it was a clandestine act, but let's be honest, that's just the American way, that's what the USA does and it is illegal because the USA dictates the law... just like Obama did invade countries like Syria, and Pakistan... and neither time he bothered to tell nor to ask permission or approval from the Congress, he just did it through executive order, no different from what Trump did a couple days ago

- and finally... good riddance, Maduro should have been gone 25 years ago... it took too long but it finally happened, and the vast majority of Venezuela is better off without him, and that's why most of them are celebrating, sure, with caution.. today

- whatever happens next seems very unclear so, I guess we'll see...

- one thing I don't think we'll see though... is the E-files...

An even bigger blow to the war in Ukraine for the Europeans!
Venezuela was China's main oil supplier, which was supplied by both Venezuela and Russia.
With Venezuela blocked by the US now, China would have no choice but to buy more oil from Russia and at a higher price.
So whether willingly or not, China is further financing Russia's campaign in Ukraine and the upcoming attack on NATO, and China is currently put on hold regarding Taiwan.
For both Russia and China, 2026 becomes an "all or nothing" and "now or never" year.

Mixed feelings, after seeing Venezuelans celebrating. It seems the US did the right thing if only for the wrong reason.

The great thing about being a civilian is, you get to judge government actions in hindsight, so I will say whether it was good or not based on the results.

It was amazing. It was extremely well planned and flawlessly executed.
