3 layers of bad policy about recent USA action in Venezuela

The recent actions of the USA against Venezuela have several layers of bad news in them, depending on which layer of control in the USA that you want to examine.

1) Power: This top layer is Trump alone. This is the wannabe strongman who craves attention. This is the carving of the world into regions of influence under supreme leaders. This is the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, although Trump himself would know little to nothing about such historical precedent.

This facet of the problem was very well explained by that historian that I keep harping about. This link (YouTube) is timed at the part of her Saturday video where she explains the importance of the rule of international law in the world, thanks to the horrors of World War with the possibilities of nuclear weapons in the mix. Trump has ended that rule of international law and order. Countries and factions may now (thanks to leadership by example) do whatever they think they can get away with, using any method (nuclear, biological, assassination, kidnapping) that they wish. See Russia->Ukraine (and others prior) and China->Taiwan (and others prior, like Tibet). They get a stronger position for their military takeovers of other nations too, despite any weak protests they might make about the USA actions in Venezuela.

2) Plutocracy: This layer is all about resources and capitalism. The billionaires will appreciate this move, since it continues the USA economy in a status quo mode for a while longer. There will be no religious opposition from the so-called moral majority to this use of military power without congressional approval beforehand. USA religion has been overtaken by prosperity gospel during the last few decades.

Why did God put USA resources under under the ground of other sovereign nations? It's very inconvenient. Now, we have to bother with going there to take it. Might makes right, since it's obvious that God wants us to have these things. They're right there! See: USA in Venezuela (oil), Panama (shipping lane), Greenland (rare earth minerals and oil), and Canada (minerals and tar sands).

3) Dollars: This layer belongs to whoever is handling Trump, steering him through well timed grift and praise to choose particular actions at particular times. This is the bad stuff.

This facet of the problem was very well explained by some random old guy that I'm unable to identify on YouTube. His channel is about a month old, and it's all about global economics. It might be AI generated, for all I know. This link (YouTube) is timed to the section where he explains that other countries were already moving to abandon the dollar as their international currency, and Venezuela was moving that direction.

I NEVER UNDERSTOOD why the USA was so friendly with Saudi Arabia after 9/11 and the fall of the Twin Towers. President Bush let them flee, no questions asked. It turns out that they agreed 50 years ago (in 1974) to sell all of their oil using only USA dollars, around the time that the USA abandoned the gold standard. We couldn't dare annoy them, because they helped stabilize the dollar. Saudi Arabia finally started leaving the dollar behind, and Project mBridge confirmed the transition away from the dollar. Russia moved to several currencies to trade oil. BRICS nations are using Indian rupee for oil.

Venezuela currently has the largest proven reserves of oil on the planet. There are rumors that I cannot even source properly that Venezuela was about to start selling oil in yuan. They couldn't be allowed to stop selling their oil in USA dollars. There's little left to prop up the value. We had to seize their oil to continue the dollar for a little while longer. That's the deepest layer of this terrible onion.

I mentioned this particular issue back in 2009. Yay, me. So much winning. *sigh* Not to worry, though. Trump's $2,000 paycheck will save me from the USA economy's collapse.
