American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [298]
an empire or China as an empire. If this is the case, and it seems it may be, then maybe Trump is getting it right.
Do you realize that the Biden administration marks the end of the U.S. as a dominant global power? The Cold War weakened both the Soviet Union and the U.S., while China, despite some challenges, has emerged as a strong nation, possibly capable of winning a conflict with the U.S.
They are present in Venezuela, but they also have a strong presence in Cuba with spy installations that monitor military bases and activities in Florida. Additionally, they maintain good relations with Brazil and have significant operations in Africa. In short, they have risen to be a major player on a global scale.
I believe they are waiting for the U.S. to attack Iran, as they depend on Iranian oil. They would definitely support Iran, hoping for a major defeat for the Americans. When it comes to Iran, you need to have boots on the ground to gain control of the country. Airstrikes and limited special forces operations won't be sufficient. It is a country with a very difficult terrain, nothing like Iraq.

You can do it as the EU currently.
The potential of the EU is greater than that of Russia and is significant enough to be on par with the US. The problem lies in the stubbornness and liberal elites in Germany and France, who have vested interests that hold us back. The extreme green policies are stifling economic growth while benefiting a select few. Additionally, permitting illegal immigration from outside Europe in large numbers is another mistake and a disservice to the indigenous European population. This, coupled with an inefficient bureaucratic system in Brussels, exacerbates the situation.
If anything, we should build a new transparent and efficient organization, perhaps a Confederation of European States, and countries should develop their own nuclear capabilities.
