The Real Reason the U.S. Hit Venezuela Before Iran

TCC

Well-known

Trump hit Venezuela first. Then Iran. That order wasn't random — and almost nobody has explained why. On this week's episode of Off Air, federal criminal defense attorney Ron Chapman breaks down the full strategic picture.

The strikes on Iran dominated headlines. But the real story started months earlier in Caracas. Ron explains why securing Venezuelan oil was a prerequisite for taking action against Iran, what the Straits of Hormuz actually means for the U.S. economy, and why this conflict was never about oil in the first place.

This episode covers:
•Why Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela came before the Iran strikes
•How the Straits of Hormuz shapes every military and economic decision in this region
•What seizing Venezuelan oil infrastructure actually accomplished
•What China and Russia do now that their oil supply is under pressure
•The three scenarios for how this ends — and which is most likely
•Why Ron believes this conflict is about nuclear power, not energy prices

Ron served as a Marine Corps officer and trained specifically for Straits of Hormuz scenarios. This is the strategic context the news cycle skipped.

So I came across this channel recently. Yes this is merely an "opinion" piece, but it seems consistent with a wider ban of socio-political ideology the news never touches on. Like the 5% to 15% per oil barrel $ margin of financial benefit the risk of having Iran in the markets guaranteed for decades. Something this video does not touch upon but is very similar in species regarding its reporting bent.

What is helpful here I believe is that when we see news about Venezuela not being about drugs, and we have all seen (I believe) lots of reports of how this was not about drugs, it actually can be true that the Trump admin fudged on the reason why take over Venezuela. But what is typical of human nature is to presume that fudging on something equals deceit for private gain. We live in a day and age where "conflict of interest" instead of being grounds for recusal it is just the standard mode of business operations now. In our late great planet earth. But what is helpful about this 25 minute video, that caused me to think, is this:

* Yes the Trump Admin made this about drugs when it was not. Yes it would appear to be the globalist regime change agenda of gross personal gain syphoning off benefit from state actor like state sanctioned activity (like taking over Venezuela). And Yes, this would produce all manner of distrust and more reasons for American's to hate ourselves. HOWEVER, what this video helpfully points out is--fudging can be in the honest best interest of national security. Admitting that America is venerable because Venezuela is too close to be a threat reasonable is not wise admission. It gives away too much info. It sets one up for being a target. And that is helpful info to know. BECAUSE in this case we might sniff out Russia and China in the background concerning Venezuela. But I don't believe that is because we are taking a Venezuelan pulse. I think that is ancient royal's like knowledge. A no brainer. An oil is thicker than water "given."

And if a "given," then Venezuela was not about drugs AND the Trump admin lies. AND it also be for reasonable national security. EVEN THOUGH this view will be sold like smut in the back alley deals of black-market gossip. To such an extent portions of the church watcher world would be deceived into thinking this is a bad a corrupt thing. THEREFORE it is my new prophetic view point that the Venezuelan takeover and deception is the "strong delusion" that God sends the church so as to deceive her and test to see if she really belongs to Him.

PLEASE NOTE -- The "2nd Part" of the above paragraph is Parady. For the record, I do not believe the immediately above "2nd Part" stated paragraph. But it is a Lampoon of what seems to circulate like at times in the watcher world. I actually mean the opposite of what the immediate "2nd Part" of the above paragraph sounds like. And would encourage our forum to check out his 25 minute video. As a mere man's opinion, this channel will likely fail in seeing some of the big picture. I don't believe this person is even a believer. But what is awesome on this video is it makes a lot of sense that there WOULD BE FACTIONS over this issue. IN FACT it seems healthy there are. Not so the approved be recognized, but just that for any who wish to research below the surface we might have ideas of how something like this might proportionality relate to something else down the road. And having a pulse on that, would likely be most in the sober groove of meaning...most likely. Just saying. :)

Blessings.
