That makes sense because there is a very good gprecurser , the reason Britain invaded China is very similar as economic causes are concerned. Ideological struggles are less dynamic , more of the result of such causes, not the other way around. Ideology may serve as a pretext.

Republican neoconservatives:
“If you’re against the military invasion of Venezuela and capture of its leaders you’re for communism.”
Venezuela isn’t communist, in fact there is a communist political party inside of Venezuela that has been against Maduro for decades. Venezuela is more of a national fascist political state, nonetheless, our military invasion of the nation along with kidnapping its leaders is morally incomprehensible. This idea that the United States has a divine exceptional right to play the role of global police is sheer idiocy.

It’s a sad pathetic exhausting trope by republican neoconservatives to call all of their adversaries or anybody that criticizes them communists and Marxists. It’s always their pathetic automatic fall position.
I am saying this as an actual communist and Marxist myself. For any republicans or neoconservatives watching this I always welcome a debate being the home grown American Marxist that I am. Be aware however that I am probably more understanding of your own politics than you are yourselves because I make it a habit of mine to study my opponents quite extensively.
Sure, but there is the purported problem with ideology and economy; both the old classical kind geared toward imbalances, and both the old world classical kind and the Freudian kind.and those beyond those two, let’s say the postmodern kind, that appears to utilize both to create the resurgence of synthetic materials like plastics .
Is it apples or oranges, or guns or butter serve as nearby similes.

The American financial oligarchy who are the real rulers of this nation are masters of human psychology, propaganda, and manipulation, I’ll give them that. I certainly don’t underestimate them anymore, it is very unwise to underestimate them and the power of influence that they control.
They’ve learned a lot from their transatlantic European masters.
Where did local the local science get its idea of ‘brain drain’? From top corporations betting against each other to get their hands on experience of thinking through complex math/physics experiments , that they put enormous resources into lest those European scientist return to the old country and create an unfillable vacuum behind them?

My hope is this means China will innovate better green energy solutions besides the usual expensive solar panel and windmill crap, in order to break free from being at the mercy of American oil tyrants.
China innovates while America stagnates.

Nobody including China has found a replacement for oil concerning energy infrastructure overall. Not even the smart Chinese are capable of that which is why military confrontation over oil is becoming a thing going forward. Those that control oil around the world controls the entire fate of the modern world.
There is methane energy and also aluminum energy. AI verified mathematically that aluminum energy is a viable option going forward and China has a lot of aluminum.

I have just one question, those photos of Maduro..
They look pretty grainy and realistic, it certainly looks like him, but, is it him? Is any of it real?

I treat what they broadcast exactly the same way as what they say, it’s worse than worthless, and it almost never reflects reality at all. As someone once said “I’d rather be uninformed than misinformed.” At least uninformed is a blank slate, the other can fill the mind with all kinds of nonsense..

Some of it is subtle hidden communications out in the open between themselves, so subtle they don’t even try to hide it because it is almost invisible to the average mental observer.

Absolutely. One of their tactics, although it isn’t often used, is to simply tell the truth. No one expects it, so it flies over their heads and gets mixed in with all the bullshit.
But spotting it requires rare talent, and an extremely effective filter.

Looking at it from a different perspective, if someone had gone into Germany and kidnapped Hitler then most likely WW11 would have been averted. The Nazis had no one to replace him. Blowing up countries is insane and achieves nothing. If Bush the butcher had simply had Saddam Hussein kidnapped WITHOUT blowing up the country as well then the world would be a very different place today. Saddam Hussein kept a tight rein on radical islam so the end result would most likely have been the same for Iraq–but without the millions of dead innocent Iraqis at the hands of America’s thuggish military, and a country in ruins.
Perhaps this is the start of a new world order without war, where unlikeable leaders simply disappear into the night never to be seen again

US courts and laws have zero jurisdiction over Maduro. This whole thing is a farce.
