Pull back or trickery? US Venezuela military operation doubts
Assessing Doubts and Political Fallout of Potential US Military Action in Venezuela
Analyze why President Trump may be having second thoughts about military action in Venezuela and the political traps this decision creates with Congress and his administration's hardliners.
Short Summary
- [00:03:15]: Retreating from a mobilized operation risks massive loss of face for President Trump.
- [00:04:01]: Hardliners like Rubio and associated Neocons actively push for confrontation, creating internal administration tension.
- [00:25:27]: Key figures like Rubio wield immense power, potentially acting as Secretary of State and NSA simultaneously, controlling information flow.
- [00:11:58]: The US Senate has largely failed in its constitutional role, instead often pushing the President toward confrontation.
This discussion breaks down the conflicting signals—like the halting of the USS Gerald Ford—regarding a potential US intervention in Venezuela. The analysis stresses that Trump is trapped between appeasing his base (who dislike foreign intervention) and satisfying the Neocon establishment pushing for conflict. Ultimately, any decision risks significant political damage either way.

Most of the world are sick of American warmongering.
Trump bragged about providing javelin to Ukraine. Putin can return the favor by providing anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down Americans. These people don't think about the consequences of there actions.
It was a ploy, once Russia and China stepped in the US backed out.
The US is helping the Ukrainians. Why can't the Russians help the Venezuelans?
A reminder that US couldn't defeat Houthi, Taliban, or Iran. Taking on Venezuela and possibly Russia is problematic for the "Peace President".
Trump. will say, that He stopped a NEW War again... This time between USA-VENEZUELA. Give ME a peace prize. NOW.
One hypersonic missile would split the aircraft carier in half .
I think Xi was succesful in relaying that if you want rare earths then stop attacking China's trade partners.
Exactly and the Latin and Caribbean countries are coming together behind Venezuela, Colombia, cuba the UN, Bolivia, Brazil Mexico are strongly aligning against the US
