The United States military operation in Venezuela is primarily motivated by a desire to seize strategic resources like oil and minerals.

“So, this is about the United States seizing oil. By the way, that's why the United States attacked Nigeria also because Nigeria has huge oil deposits and huge lithium deposits. That's what all this is about. That's what it's about.”

The recent US military strike against Venezuela serves to dismantle the established international order and aligns the United States with Russia's geopolitical objectives.

“What the United States just did is it said, "We're tossing overboard the rules that have kept the world from another world war since the 1940s and instead believing that we want to have our own sphere of influence."”

Trump's imposition of sanctions on Venezuela significantly damaged the country's economy and accelerated migration from Venezuela.

“Donald Trump greatly increased the pressure on Venezuela by adding additional sanctions to Venezuela sanctions that actually crippled the Venezuelan economy”

The United States needs to secure Venezuela to prevent Russia and China from using the country as a strategic base for hostile actions.

“Venezuela is to the United States what Ukraine is to Russia. Venezuela is strategic/tactical white space for Russia, China to come over to this hemisphere, violate the Monroe Doctrine, and use Venezuela's ports, use its air facilities to stage four possible strikes on the United States.”

President Trump's current actions regarding Venezuela are illegal because they lack congressional approval.

“Trump is a lot of what he's doing right now is illegal. He doesn't have any kind of congressional approval to do anything like invade another country with our military.”

The Trump administration's justification for CIA intervention in Venezuela based on drug trafficking is disingenuous compared to the actual interest in oil.

“Venezuela is not really like the primary drug trafficker that's getting drugs from their country into the United States. So, that alone is a little bit disingenuous. On top of that, it's really I I I believe it comes down more so to the oil.”

US regime change efforts in Venezuela are motivated by an interest in oil reserves rather than combatting drug trafficking.

“Obviously trying to get the largest oil reserves in the world and access to it in Venezuela, but the means by which Trump is going about it just remind the rest of the world like this is what America does.”
