Honestly it just looks like someone is just Wagging The Dog[1] in anticipation of the DOJ deadline to release more Epstein information.

Good move. Venezuela shipping oil to Cuba violates NO international law and America is committing an act of terrorism with their "blockade" (an act of war according to the UN). America can never win a war with Venezuela, seeing their humiliating defeats in Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam against much smaller and less developed nations. Godspeed to all Venezuelans resisting the ongoing American aggression.

US really is intent on starting a shooting war by the looks of it. Perhaps even some light special military operation'ing...

If its not in the middle east it's just a sparkling police action.

This is the dumbest timeline.

The dumbest timeline is the one with nuclear war. This might not be it.

If we're optimistic and assume that Trump, Xi and Putin have some kind of deal for a new world order where the US is no longer a world police, and the US gets to have its oligarchs just like Russia has.

Maybe that part of the deal is that Trump gets the Americas. It sure sucks for the new vassal states, but it beats having a nuclear war.
