My prediction has officially been blown up. Trump says we are going to “run” Venezuela. Exactly how that is going to happen, he didn’t really say, probably because he has no idea.
We will have to send a large force to occupy the country. Assuming, for purposes of argument, that the remainder of the regime simply surrenders and doesn’t start a guerrilla war, it will take years to fix Venezuela’s oil facilities. If and when that occurs, the benefits will flow to multinational oil companies, not to average Americans. And that’s the best case scenario; the worst case is Iraq.
Sounds great, doesn’t it?
