You act that that is unexpected or something.

@SuddenCringe nice

I'll take my good news were I can get it these days.

And Iran has been really trying to tell everyone that they are trying to do some shit, and they would like the old agreement again.

But no one seems to care.

And I think they acutally backed down, they say they will negotiate again if Trump drops the sanctions.

And UK acutally grabbed an Iranian tanker, because they were doing business with Syria, and that's a no no.

Eh, honestly wouldn't suprise me if Iran got win of the fact that they were dealing with people who actually would pull the trigger if they didn't take the fucking hint and walk it back, and did in fact back the hell down.

Hell,

it would be one of the more sensable things they could do.

They problably are thinking the last time shit got started with someone with an R in front of there name, there neighbor got there shit kicked in and are STILL a mess to this day.

What is the current situation in Venezuela, still starving? Or has any aid actually been let in

The opposition is talking with Maduro again, in Norway, or they are going to soon.

But it's not all good news.

Apparently a Political prisoner died just a few days ago, and Guaido's body guard got arrested.

It's not going to be an even remotely peaceful change of power

I don't really know what to think about the old Iranian deal, it certanly left something to be desired.
The whole thing would have expired in 2030, it was in the deal.

But it was still a deal.

Yeah, figures that couldn't just be smooth sailing on venezuala. I dunno. The more I think about it, the more I like Styxxhexxenhammer's idea.

Airdrop clean water and containers, toiletry's, basic med kits with supply's, feild guides for training, MER's to get enough calories in them to work with the next couple of items and to fight, and then lot's and lot's of guns, sights, magazines, bullets, grenades and knives into the country. Large and steady supplys of them, like, daily or at least weekly, and maybe copy's of the constiution and of the US and some patriotic sounding stuff on cheap paper.

Maybe get them thinking for next time and geared up to kick BOTH party's out.

Do it enough and spread out enough.

And there are Chinese soldiers present in Venezuela, I don't know why.

...

Yeah.

I trust that as far as I can throw a tank with my bare hands.

They were spotted just today.

Still.

IF there there, nothing good can come of it.

That's puts them in striking distance of at least 2 noted US allies, Columbia and Brazil. Theoritically it could be a lauching point for long range missles or air strikes at the US.

That's not going to sit well with people like Bolton.

My guess, they are there to help run some technical shit.

I'm not trusting it's that straight forward.

@Metahuman1 China may be trying to pull what they did in Africa, come in and build a new infrastructure and hold the debt over the new govs head

Lots of Chinese roads in Africa

Another reason to try Styxx's plan and then be ready to build roads in Venizuala as soon as they have a none communist government.

Venezuela owes a lot of money to China

Oof. And China will come to collect, I bet. Can you say invasion and colonization?

They are there to protect their investment

If the US materializes hard force that would be China's bluff

You mean if we put boots on the ground?
