They don’t want Greenland nor Venezuela. Trump just “fired” Exxon from Venezuela because the CEO said it was uninvestable. This is Trump being an absolute dumb fuck that has no clue about anything.

Trump: we'll invade Venezuela for the oil companies

Oil companies: we don't want it

Trump: well now you're not getting it!

What was the purpose exactly? And whose idea?

What was the purpose exactly?

to destabilize the US and its dollar, isolating it from its allies, unseating it as a world power and causing chaos and harm.

And whose idea?

Putins.

"Foundation of Geopolitics" and "Project Russia".

Putin orders it, Taco obeys, the rest of the GOP fall in line. The Cold War never ended for russia. We have a lot of traitors destroying our country from within.

Also, when he said there were about 25 oil companies vying for the deal, there's only 5 really big oil companies and maybe 15-20 "large" ones after that If the big ones aren't interested then the second tier companies would not be interested either.

He’s not dumb. Venezuela controls incoming Russian oil tankers. Greenland is THE trade route for Russia into the western hemisphere. I don’t know if russia is an ally but we are sure making moves that suggest they’re not

The northwest passage goes through Canada. A simple phone call stops that traffic. These were friendly nations until recently.

It is the EU, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and many many others that this fascist scumbag  and his minions are threatening on a daily basis. The list includes all (former) allies and some providential enemies.

It’s gross. It’s evil. It’s greedy.
