according to reporting from state dept officials, they thought the opposition wouldn't be able to command the respect and support of the generals in the chaos of a coup. Their plan is to bully the VP (now pres) to open up the country to trade and hold elections in a year. Basically a reverse of what was done in Iraq (de-Baathification). This could just be post-hoc rationalization, but it is sound in theory.

It's not a bad idea. Basically a recognition that Iraq went to shit when they disbanded the gov't and military. If you can keep nudging the country in the right direction you should be able to get something better. Note that I think the strikes and raid were completely unnecessary. But if you're going to do it, this strategy is the best way to go about it.

VZ isn't even in the top 10 for chinese oil imports. Want to disrupt chinese oil imports? Fuck up the ghost ships from their number one exporter (hint: it starts with R and ends in "ussia").

Russia is doing America a service by wrecking our enemies in Ukraine plus pissing off our enemies in the EU/NATO. they should at least get some credit for that.

but China had big plans for VZ, and now we can control the flow

it’s not everything, but it’s part of a global plan to be in a position to choke off China if the need arises (and it will)

Even the oil argument is weak. People point to chart of oil reserves with Venezuela holding trillions of barrels and assume it's prime to become the biggest producer. So much of it is expensive and hard to extract oil, like Canada's tar sands. When Trump invited the oil majors to jump into venezuela over the weekend they weren't enthusiastic at all.

they've been selling everything they've got to china and obviously china has an interest in supporting the communist regime and increasing that production.

The US exports about 8x as much oil to China as VZ. So obviously "taking oil off the table for China" is not a real concern.

Largely agree.

Tberes a confluence of factors and motives at play:

1. The symbolism of this happening hours after an official chinese visit should not be ignored. It doesnt have to be anout oil. Clearly china was seeking to increase its influence and involvement there. This sends a stark message regarding Trumps tolerance for that.

2. There could be horsetrading here with russia vis a vis ukraine. E.g., we will take maduro if you dont stop pushing in sumy. I dont know the details, and its a bit far fetched, but this didnt happen in a vacuum relative to ukraine. Russia has some involvement in VZ if nothing else through arms sales and wagner training. Maybe its as simple as a flex on putin. "Heres how to regime change w/o 5 years of war".

3. Certainly a flex on Cuba and the other banana republics in latam, including mexico. This will hurt them financially. Particularly cuba which seemed to be working its tendrils deeply here. Could be a prelude amd trial run for further kinetic action in Cuba.

4. It works as a declaration to china and russia to stay the fuck out of Trump's sphere. More important as small footprint drone deployment becomes a feasible means of exerting influence abroad. Need malleable workable relationships with evryone nearby. Cuba is next.

Unlocking oil development is more a bonus to be realized over the next decade.

We're at or near peak demand as far as oil. China is already transitioning to EV's and solar. The vast majority of that hard to extract oil is going to stay in the ground.

2 reasons:

1) Maduro was not a legitimate leader and we want to spread democracy

2) Maduro was committing narco terrorism and we just could no longer tolerate it

Shut up you lib. Biden pulled out of Afghanistan with a day’s notice, botched operation, people died, no plan, and no bad media coverage and libs stopped talking about it after one news cycle. Here, successful operation and libs are seething.
