Loading ...I’m totally opposed to Trump intevening in Venezuela’s internal affairs. They need to sort their own sh!t out, or how will they grow as a nation? Nobody knows how much oil they’ve got anyway, their reserves figures are all made up.
Except. China was clearly building a strong relationship with Maduro. Buying much oil, and using that oil to prop up Cuba. Maduro appears to have been facilitating narcotic supplies to the US, which is an infringement on US sovereignty by another country (on the basis that Maduro, as dictator, is Venezuela). And China is definitely more likely to be helping that than otherwise. So China is already interfering in Venezuelan affairs, propping up a regime actively opposed to America – so Trump had no choice. China is already stopping Venezuelans form sorting themselves out, and with improvements in missile technology having a communist military base in Venezuela now would be the same as one in Cuba 65 years ago (my word, I feel old typing that!).
