US wants resources like oil and is making strategic moves

Of course the US is after resources like oil. If the Middle East doesn't play nice, they'll just look for alternatives. Trump had his eyes on Ukrainian resources too, as he mentioned to Zelensky. Now they’re looking at Venezuela, and next up could be Nigeria. The US is pretty sharp about this they expand like a snowball, picking on weaker countries and draining their power. They go after easier targets, then tackle the bigger ones later. I think it’s pretty obvious now that the US aims to take out the weaker countries militarily. The best way to win is by going after the ones that can’t fight back. Fighting on equal or stronger grounds? Not smart, and the US knows it.

Did Trump say to Zelenzky that he as the president of the United states of America wants the Russian oil, can you prove he did said this to Zelenzky. Trump has use excessive power on some nation since he became president but you should prove your suspicions before making it look like it’s fact.

Russia now too strong trump need to wait when war with ukraine making russia weaker then usa can attack not before.

Hot take congrats I guess. But what does "smart" mean here? The operation Absolute Resolve cost the US however many billions. Captured Maduro. Trump now says that American businesses will be allowed to re-establish the Venezuelan oil industry. Meanwhile Venezuela is sitting on the largest oil reserves on Earth yet they could not get them efficiently due to corruption and mismanagement that ruined their infrastructure decades ago. So who wins? Not the American taxpayers that financed the invasion. Not Venezuelans who have just been bombed. The oil companies win. They receive access to reserves without having to deal with Maduro's government or negotiate with OPC's quota or any of that clumsy diplomatic nonsense. Same pattern with Ukraine. They were provided with preposterous tonnes of military assistance and the deal is that we will take their critical minerals out of a joint fund where our military expenditure is seen as our contribution. It is a business transaction that can be rebranded later. And calling this smashing weaker ones later, who? China? Russia? Since at the time the last time I checked those nations possess actual nuclear arsenals and this very reason we are doing this proxy resource grabbing thing is because direct confrontation is not an option.

OP didn't say this. He said that USA wants resources from Ukraine. This was the main subject of negotiation between Zelensky and Trump as USA plays the role of peacful intermediary as pretended. The nogatiation was about to stop the war in exchange of Russia keeps the territory that has invaded and the USA takes half of mineral resources as a compensation for american support. Zelensky already accept the agreement with Trump but not with Putin.

Thats right.  There has been much discussion among policymakers and national media about "Ukraines mineral resources" being one of the main reasons for the US interest in Ukraine, not just as some conspiracy theory.  The US is working very hard to decrease reliance on China for rare minerals, so controlling Ukraines mineral resources will provide America with a reliable supply chain that bypass Beijing.

Won't it be better for the US to come take Nigeria and make it their second country. At least that will be far better than what is currently being seen in the country after many decades of gaining independence. However I don't know were you are getting your informations from that US is coming to take Nigeria. But how I wish what you are saying is true, a country that can't provide security and protect it's citizens is a failed state already.

Maybe this wasn't America first goal from supporting Ukraine. The battle was against Russia to fight all Europe and lose all its powers as a result of military costs and economic sanctions. Later the USA discovered that Russia isn't that weak to fight in a longrun war and that Europe becomes the biggest loser. Of course Ukraine is just the battle land and has no powers to defeat the Russian bear. Trump realised this from day one in the White House, so he started negotiating possible benefits for his country despite whatever the cost the Ukraine would bear. After all, Russia is the first winner after ocuppying many big regions in Ukraine, the USA is the second winner. Zelensky was first put as president to lead a proxy war that won't never benefit his country anything even if defeating Russia because the cost of war is huge and he has to pay all supporters.

You ignore a whole context which has been going on by summarizing everything into USA fighting weak countries for resources and power. Actually, the power abuse relation is happening in the world on a macro level, but also on micro relations of power. The first to be crushed is the citizen of the country by the own government through taxes, which don't return quality services in counterpart, besides being diverted for corruption purposes. The government uses its strength and power to abuse the citizen, until he becomes almost a slave of the system in order to maintain the luxuries of the ones at the high command. I'm curious to see what Trump is going to do next and how USA is going to behave towards Venezuela. After all, are they there to save Venezuela and even US from a narco-dictatorship, or are they there to take advantage of the local people's suffering and despair for personal gains?

Even if Russia were weakened by the war with Ukraine, the US would never dare launch a military attack against it. That would be tantamount to suicide. They are only good at bullying weaker nations, those nations that are virtually incapable of resisting. They wouldn't even dare touch North Korea, let alone Russia, the country with the world's largest nuclear arsenal. The US is not intelligent, on the contrary, they are cunning and petty, only knowing how to bully smaller nation

I think you missed Trump's latest statements after they completed Maduro's arrest and extradition to the US. Trump has publicly stated that the US would utilize Venezuela's oil reserves and sell large quantities to other countries. He even threatened that he would not rule out the possibility of deploying US troops to protect the oil fields if the situation became more tense. He did not mention drugs at all, he only talked about oil and Venezuela oil since they invaded the country. https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2007520406199251070

Almost all countries want oil because of how profitable it is. To their country and since it’s in demand, they would be able to distribute over to many countries. Even without explicit admission, it’s assuming that Trump wants oil from any country that has it.

I do not know exactly what is going on there and why you want the US to take over Nigeria. But I want to say that the US has never intervened in or invaded a country if they didn't see any benefit in it. I mean, if your country is rich in mineral resources, they will appear under familiar reasons like protecting peace, bringing democracy and freedom. But in reality, the main goal is to exploit and seize mineral resources to enrich their nation and its people. They had no regard for the lives or fates of the people in the countries they occupied. For Africa, it is no coincidence that the continent has the highest poverty rate and faces countless challenges, despite possessing some of the world's richest mineral resources. In my opinion, this is a consequence of exploitation, interference, and manipulation from external forces over the past hundreds of years. They will not let things change until all the mineral resources there have been fully exploited

With the way Trump is going about it I am tempted to tow your school of thought that, Trump wants the resources of nations especially the rich nations that are weak in terms of military might. Because there is no way to describe what trump just did in Venezuela he will not try that with China or Russia this is because, these nations can march trump with military might and power. It now clear to the world that what trump is after is just about resources control of countries.

This is actually making sense, Trump is making some strategic moves that seems unusual he's definitely towing towards  conquering the oil rich country to himself to gain more power why they become weak and vulnerable to the US government. One thing I try to figure out during trump reign is that whatever he wants he gets and that's another kind of repulsive power domination I've seen in years. So the reason for the support to those countries it's for the interest of achieving a resourceful oil state.

How about learning to use some punctuation first? I couldn't understand anything you wrote, but I know from the title that you are referring to the case of the USA and its actions regarding Venezuela. Do you think Trump cares about what other countries would think about his actions? He has repeatedly violated international law, and now he claims to want to run the country as well. What the fuck? He is now setting an example for other countries to follow suit. He is already gambling with World War III. What if Putin attacks Ukraine tomorrow and captures their president? Would it be justified? Trump wants the oil of Venezuela. It was never about the drugs.

What the US want in Ukraine is not oil but rare earth metals which was why they required that deal in the first place. Ukraine have a nice deposit of rare earth metals which America proposed to extract at the exchange of security guarantee from Russia. I don't know if such deal is now moribund as we are not seeing any significant progress made and the open protection of Ukraine by the US. In the Middle East, I don't know what the interest of the US will be but it should not just be oil since they have abundance of it from Saudi Arabia and UAE and gas from Qatar. In Nigeria, it is not clear what the interest of the US will be but they will definitely have interest because they don't invest where there will be no profits.

I tell you the fact that majority of oil produced by Venezuela flew to China. So it makes sense by disrupting producer of oil aka Venezuela. It will give US more power in threatening other big countries who were also relying upon the supply from the damaged countries. Apart from that controlling Venezuela oil also means US will be able selling oil to their western allies. Other than it, what you said after Venezuela, then US would be going to Nigeria is absolutely non sense thing. I'm wondering what's your basis by said it.

It's unlikely to be soon. As far as it is clear from Trump's speeches, he is now very interested in Greenland. Perhaps soon the Danish king will be accused of something and taken to the States, where he will sign an act of gratuitous transfer of Greenland. And only then can Trump become interested in Africa. Although he also said something about Cuba and Mexico...

Your statement is very speculative. Trump did not just capture Maduro because they want Venezuela's oil. The two countries' relationship became strained when Chavez assumed the presidency in 1999 because he was criticizing the US on the Afghanistan and Iraq invasions, and Maduro happens to be close to Chavez. The US never supported Maduro because they think he is an illegitimate president . Why has the US captured Venezuela’s president and what happens next? After Trump assumed office, he targeted Maduro, claiming these crimes against the US So it's not that they want Venezuela's oil, but they looked at Maduro as an illegitimate president and a threat to the Americans.
