Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [294]

Where did it go? Lol.

Expertise and skill is lost quickly and easily....

The first inkling the interested observer got at the direct beginning....Putin didn't brag for fun "Kiev in three days", he surely meant it and seemingly thought the same of his forces as you do still by now!

Bobko....that was 1979 and 1996!!! And yes, the Wehrmacht was once also widely feared and admired....now the world mocks the Bundeswehr..... its all long gone now!

The Ukraine war is the widely observed benchmark now.....so njet, I doubt he can!

How could Putin truly withstand the seduction of presenting Selensky in Moscow to the awed world press? Of course he would have done it by now, if he only could.

I think it's obvious that it can.

Proof? :)

.....and no, poisoning some opposition politician or throwing some nay-sayer out of a window is just not the same....

America is capable of shutting down communication networks at will

True....what reminds me of a former post of mine....the absolute dependency of the WORLD on the Silicon Valley and its tech firms!

That will become a bigger weapon in the future wars by the year...

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [431]

It seems that the primary crime Venezuela had committed was having the world's largest oil reserves.

That and drugs....its his drug dealing he gets charged with now in jail in the US.....reminds me about Pablo Escobar, the US back then also led a kind of inofficial but very brutal war to end that huge smuggling ring of his...

Bennett said the Russian president repeated: "I won't kill Zelensky."

Where is the sense in that? Not to mention that opinions and temperament change....with such leaders as Putin maybe daily!

Selensky is still alive and Kiev still standing because Moscow just lacks the means...yes, sometimes its that easy! If Putin could pull off such a "Delta Operation" he absolutely would have already...twice!

To the other topic before....neither Russia, India or, heaven forbid, China is a suitable boss option for vassal Europeans! IMHO stay with what you know, and that is the US....its still our kin! And it worked for decades...

I think it's plausible, but not likely.

Yeah.....that makes sense!

People probably expect to many birds killed at once with that special stone-operation...

Thanks for the interesting discussions, I have to bow out here for the day!*waves*

@Bobko

I tried to write out the many differences between the Ukraine war and the Maduro operation...

But how would you estimate my post with the analysis of longer term consequences for Russia and its war effort in Ukraine?

Interesting analysis:

Berlin/Moscow - The successful US military strike in Venezuela, which led to the immediate overthrow of dictator Nicolás Maduro, is causing panic in Russia. The concern is not only about the loss of a key political ally in South America, but also about the country's untouched oil reserves.

Leading Russian energy analysts and even an oligarch fear that US President Donald Trump's oil plans could bankrupt their country. If Trump implements his proposals, this could have massive consequences for Russia's economy, the war in Ukraine, and even Vladimir Putin's rule.

This is because Venezuela possesses the world's largest oil reserves, yet exports very little oil compared to Arab states or Russia. The state-owned oil company PDVSA is considered dilapidated and incompetent. Furthermore, US sanctions have made exports even more difficult.

bild.de/politik/ausland-und-internationales/venezuela-nach-us-schlag-gegen-maduro-hat-russland-riesige-oel-sorgen-695a0ba1f6fc544dba9bbcf1

I wonder if Trump and his advisors had really even more in mind than only removing a troublesome druglord and dictator....a real big show off to Moscow!

...Russia's Budget Can Only Be Financed with Oil Revenue

This development is of paramount importance to Russia, as oil exports are the state's primary source of revenue, and the price of oil determines whether the Russian state has sufficient funds for pensions, civil servant salaries, or war. For example, the Russian Finance Ministry based its 2026 budget planning on a price of $59 per barrel of Urals oil; the price recently fell to $50. If it falls further, the financing of the Russian budget will collapse permanently.

On the Russian financial portal "finance.mail.ru," Igor Yushkov, an expert at the Moscow Foundation for National Energy Security, stated before the US attack on Venezuela's dictator: "For us, it is economically and politically crucial that Maduro remains steadfast."...

That's just a question of armed forces' efficiency.

Nah....Russia is there for territory gains....for getting land back/stealing land (depending on your viewpoint)....that is a whole different level of war goal!

Right now, we should just record it all in writing since that data may be useful in the future.

Definitely!

.....and looking for similiarities...differences in these experiences....for some rules, regularities...anything which might help us to get a grip on this.

then on what basis do we deny Russia the same right to deploy her armed forces whenever and wherever she considers it necessary?

Really???

Ukraine....invaded, destroyed land and infrastructure, killed civilians, women and children by Russia for 3 years now!

Venezuela....one US Delta Unit = removed leader from his fortress in Caracas in 3 hours!

What was there before he did?

All good questions....and showing how deeply we are shaped by our historical religious teachings....but the answers might very well be very different!

I personally don't think there is only one allmighty entity, nor something like eternal heaven or hell....but for us humans it was a working explanation...and worshipping/fearing something we don't understand was somewhat logical for millennia...thats all!

Just "alien" and "other dimensions" might be another, more modern ways of explanation....but both stand for something otherwordly that made itself known to humans since our beginning, and seemingly is a fact to accept (and to study).

or perhaps a master.

A master....this tiny country a master of the mighty USofA...and you call ME confused? ;)

Being an ally means obligations should go both ways; in this case, it looks like a one-way street.

Na ja....Germany at least profits mightily....not only with getting modern weapons but especially through secret informations. Several planned massacres had been stopped, avoided in time only because the Mossad helped, with that they saved lotsa german lives (the BND is truly useless)....

Where did you hear that nonsense?

Key Aspects of the Alliance:

United States: The US has been Israel's most crucial ally, recognizing it in 1948 and providing significant military aid, making Israel a "major non-NATO ally" and a strategic partner in the Middle East.

Shared Values: Both Israel and Western nations emphasize democracy, economic prosperity, and regional security as foundational principles.

Military & Intelligence: Israel offers advanced defense technology and intelligence sharing, helping the US and others counter threats, secure borders, and protect troops.

NATO/Europe: Israel joined the Paris Club and the Western European & Others Group within the UN, integrating it into Western-aligned international bodies.

Abraham Accords: Normalization with Arab states (UAE, Bahrain, Morocco) further integrated Israel regionally, aligning with Western interests in Middle East stability.

Nonsense, huh?

Change has to come from inside. When it is forced from the outside,

Usually I would agree with you....but there are those cases....those handful of leaders....sometimes only one....having a whole country under their thumb, using and abusing its people....

Cutting them off from their power, maybe even ending them, can mean peace! Without war and masses of death and destruction...it's worth a shot, I say!

Please no references to the Nazis or Imperial Japan.

Verdammt!

Also - in what universe is bombing Iran and bombing Venezuela a "peaceful" move?

Ending a cruel dictatorship is definitely a peaceful move....at least in my eyes!

Or any other revolution or freedom fight would be equally bad because of "disrupting" the graveyard peace...you know what I mean....

Hint to the people of the world: STOP VOTING FOR SOCIALISTS!

...at least in all economical matters! The left is generally economically hopeless....the moment all money has been "taken from the rich" and has run out any economy goes tanking and the country and its people impoverish....that pattern has been by now proven countless times!

I have no confidence in the ability of the US to manage a recovery of the Venezuelan economic and political system....

...and that is not their job...making room for the opposition (maybe under Machado) being able to take back their country is a most important first step...but only a first step, the rest should be up to the V-people!

Neither russia nor china can protect their client states....

I would like to know what Putin truly thought as this Delta-Unit so flawlessly and fast just removed some enemy leader from office, heh:)

There is no such thing as international law because there is no body that is able to enforce it.

...only sanctions and some kind of isolation, I think....

No, there is no Heaven, Hell, God, Satan, or angels.

Agreed, as these are totally human tries for explanations! Nothing more, nothing less...

The real thing will be most probably not even understandable with our small brains we got with these bodies...

Imagine being a little fish in some aquarium in some room....even if the fishies in that aquarium looking out to the other side of the glass will somehow get that there is something else outside, will they ever comprehend that their little aquarium-world is confined to that room? That there are so many other rooms outside, apartements, skyscraper, cities, countries populated with even more strange beings?
No...they won't....they are not made for that to comprehend!

....doesn't mean the whole other world outside doesn't exist!

And we are only fishis looking out of our world, trying to make sense of the happenings outside of our aquarium, Novi....to declare our world is the only one ever and always is not smart! :)

Very strange linguistic development in a nation that never had any friends!

....but you asked for something to change, didn't you? 🤓

And I'm totally on your side, you know that...Gerpolia and all that.....Germany needs to open itself more up to Poland, and Poland needs to stop expecting only the worst from Germany and searching for every true or just percieved slight from Berlin...the rest will develop in time!

and such humiliations as listed in #48 are the best indication of that.

...are they? Or not a reason for it?

With such continous "bitching" (sorry but thats what it is) Poland doesn't make themselves any friends....and sometimes you just need friends! Or at least neighbours you are in good standing with, who are sympathetic to your plight, and not only roll their eyes: "Not these Poles again!"

Tough hard talking, I know....but is it so hard to understand?

But yes....we need better, more skilled politicians in Berlin....and Poles should start to look over these annoying small things and keep the real big and important thing in mind, that we need both of us together, on the same side, to guarantee our common security!

(That doesn't mean a polish official can't kick a german official's arse when he thinks some mistreatment happened, but he should do it quietly, from behind, not always riling up the whole people again and making a state affair out of it!)

However, it's difficult to be an optimist when German Chancellor blocks Poland's participation in a meeting

I just googled that.....Scholz was a dumb, and his gov got kicked out prematurely for many good reasons....can we go over that now please?

Or will that become a thing like some outstanding reparations?

Because....then....there will be no changes for the better for our future at all and everything will go the same dreaded way as always in hour history!

Something has to change if we want to avoid being betrayed by our dear friends and allies once again.

...imagine this time a real alliance between Germany and Poland!!! And even not the usual hostility and split into different blocs, huh? (Or, in Polands case, this time NOT relying on far away govs)

A totally new idea!!! 😀

all those wars in that region are the US being a knife for Israel.

.....and they are our allies!

Every islamist massacre in our towns and cities and beaches leads back to Teheran!

They are hating and fighting us as much as they are hating and fighting Israel. After they are "done" with Israel their plan to islamize the whole West will go on.
