First, we all know that both Russia and China have been trying to make inroads into the Western hemisphere. Second, Maduro was a brutal dictator who made daily life extremely difficult for the Venezuelan people, as well as being the man who would not relinquish power to the true winner of Venezuela's last election. Third, we know Maduro is indeed guilty of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking, no one can deny that, what with thousands of American deaths attributed to said trafficking. And fourth, and this is key, Nicolas Maduro (before capture) controlled 20% of the world's oil reserves...reserves whose prime buyer is China who accounts for approximately 80% of all of Venezuela's oil exports, with the other key buyers being both Russia and Cuba...communist nations all...nations surely not to be trusted,
Last night on FOX News, and again early this Sunday morning (1/4/26) as I write this, it was reported that according to President Trump, the U.S. and U.S. oil companies alone, will now be in control of Venezuela's oil, and thus to whom will and will not be privy to it. And with that said something just did not sit right and with me as to the timing of the drug operation that actually took Maduro down...the very operation that allowed the oil fields to rightfully become ripe for the taking. And while said operation was a total success what with the capture of Maduro and his wife who are now both jailed in Brooklyn, New York, and are awaiting federal trial in New York City based upon narco- terrorism and drug trafficking indictments handed down in 2020...know that said indictments will legally soon expire this March if not dealt with now.
So with this time frame now in place why not “ring the golden victory bell” four times...bringing Maduro to justice if you will; stopping his illicit drugs from killing more Americans (even though most, but obviously not all, knew the dangers of taking street drugs but willingly took them anyway); removing a ruthless dictator from power and hence his people from oppression; and lastly and seemingly what, to me, is really behind it all...garner Venezuela's oil reserves in time to help our Republican side win the 2026 midterm election, which will then hopefully carry over into a 2028 presidential win as well.
Simply, all of last weeks Maduro take-down events reek of a coordinated effort to beat 2020's time limitation on indictments, while at the same time scoring one for the “Trump team” in 2026. And while that is a good thing, I believe that taking control of Venezuela's oil fields and reserves was what was being kept from “We the People'” as being the prime target all along, Why so...because only if said operation was successful would it become an economy boosting plus to counter the current not so good midterm poll numbers...numbers showing that with waning “Independent” votes it is not guaranteed that we Republicans will keep the House in November, and hence control of America's purse strings.
Basically, only by Trump's removing Maduro from power by any means possible could the what I believe to be his prime and rightful oil garnering goal be accomplished. Timing and corresponding subterfuge...courtesy of Maduro's time limited drug trafficking take-down...hopefully will now serve we Republicans well come the midterm election. Remember, “bait and switch” operations...which I think this operation was...do tend to have positive results more times than not especially when the cause is just.
My opinion and I stand by it...case closed.
