WW3 just started overnight

The real reason the United States moved on Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs, terrorism, or democracy.

Before you convince yourself that Trump wants to truly see Venezuela made great again, you need to really understand that it’s about the survival of the US dollar.

Venezuela holds 303 billion barrels of oil. It’s the largest proven reserves on earth, more than Saudi Arabia, and roughly 20% of global supply.

The real issue is that Venezuela stopped selling oil in US dollars. They began accepting the Chinese Yuan, Euros, and Rubles. They announced that they were freeing themselves from the dollar.

That’s essentially a decree or declaration of economic war against the United States.

They built payment channels with China that totally bypassed SWIFT entirely. A country with that much oil abandoning the dollar isn’t symbolic. It is a threat.

And that is why the United States decided to eliminate that threat.
