I simply said you are talking about a subject you are completely unqualified to, and should stick to domestic civil litigation.
I'm quite educated on international politics, though
But it doesn't take a genius IQ or an education to see the MAGA hypocrisy-policy reversal on neocon international philosophy.
Trump fans are doing their best to try to distinguish it, though.

Royce is generally against US intervention in another country's business but he believes this 100% about the US removing CCP influence from South America..
His hypocrisy is noted and expected.
Normally I wouldn't respond to SlowMoFo but there is no hypocrisy with Royce White in this matter.
Royce White loathes the CCP and the Federal Reserve so he is right in line with his beliefs. Anyone who has been following Venezuela politics for the past several years understands they are nearly a satellite state of the CCP.

Is there a war? Damn I hope the millions of Venezuelans celebrating in the streets find out about the war in time to save themselves.

Xi made a News Year's Eve speech where he said Taiwan will be reunited with the Mainland.
That's a yearly speech no?
Certainly not the first time Xi has made this known.

Iraq (#2) was the primary exercise of neocon action.
It was a (not the), but it was not the type that distinguishes the neocons from traditional interventionists. THE primary neocon intervention was Ukraine. That was the most audacious one, imo.

Neoconservative philosophy isn't that difficult
Exerting force to a non-threat nation for regime change (specifically to remove authoritarians to spread democracy) is right within the definition of that philosophy.

Imagine thinking that a war would come of us surgically extracting a Venezuelan president. What are they going to do about it? Bomb us with their drug boats
Excuse me - "Military Operation", "Spreading Democracy", "Stabilizing the region"
No shite Venezuela cannot protect itself so it will not be a "War" but it is what President Trump campaigned against since 2016 while his loyalists defend him from one hypocrisy to the next

Does China have a significant presence in Venezuela?
quote:
Yes, China has a very significant and deep presence in Venezuela, acting as a major creditor (over $60 billion in loans), the largest buyer of Venezuelan oil, a key provider of technology/infrastructure, and a crucial geopolitical ally, especially in challenging U.S. influence. This partnership involves vast oil-backed financing, military cooperation, and development projects, making China vital to Venezuela's economy and political survival.

Sometimes the American public is not privy to all the pertinent information and facts with these types of operations. Sometimes that’s good, sometimes bad. I don’t pretend to know where this one falls. I tend to trust Trump, but who knows where, how and who is feeding him information.

Hey, don't question him. Didn't you hear him tell you be is well educated in geopolitical matters?

=/= Satellite state.
Words have meanings. Making shite up to justify being a neocon is the new PoliBoard rage.
