Donnie doesn't play 3D chess, he cheats at Chutes and Ladders knocking the board over if he doesn't get his way. That said there is a good chance that some of his Den of Thieves advisors have told him he might be able to capture some of all of the Venezuela oil reserves, and he is trying to provide a way to keep the spoils.

Uh huh. Sure. Another "whatifism"

A good Sunday morning read.

Lots of different perspectives across a wide range of political views.

While we (meaning the US) doesn't know all that much yet, it appears that the majority of oil reserves in Venezuela are quite heavy, dense, underground oil fields, as oppose to those in the Middle East, which are lighter, less "dense" crude.  

It doesn't sound to me like Venezuela possesses the infrastructure to refine that heavy crude, at least to the extent that would make it a rather profitable expenditure of State funds.  So, what is the US going to do with the Venezuelan oilfields?  A certain someone hates to wait for his gratification, like most infants, he wants it now, and even he knows he won't live much longer. 

So what's the point of all this mess?  Yes, there are drug-runners in Venezuela, just like there are drug-runners in numerous countries in this hemisphere.  However, as any high school level economics student knows, shutting down one country's drug-running efforts just moves the action so some other country.  I wonder just how crucial to this folly the issue of "drug-running" really is.  The issue of taking a country-full of heavy crude, still in the ground seems unworthy of all this sturm und drang,  The issue of shutting down a source of illegal drugs coming into the US seems equally questionable.  

It's also possible that dividing the globe up into hemispherical "spheres of interest" could be the crux of the issue, in which case the Greenlanders (as well as the Taiwanese) need to figure out other sources of support, at least potential sources.

That is a major issue with his economic policy in general. He sees economics as a zero sum game, he understands extracting wealth by extracting mineral wealth, but has never had a clue how to create wealth be converting natural resources into utile commodities, products and sefvices. The only part he understands economically is the extraction.

I don't think economics matter.  It it I think to distract us from his Epstein enterprise.  I suspect Donnie was actually the ringleader.

His drug supply excuses do fall short when he has recently PARDONED a cartel head who was convicted & sentenced to 40yrs. It would appear that he is just a "Nasty little boy pissed off that he didn't receive the most expensive Christmas present". It just gauls me that Trump, Netanyahu & Putin are still running around, being allowed to cause chaos & NOBODY has yet even tried to "kidnap" any of them. Kidnapping might be a too soft solution 😂😂😂😂.
