So, having partially won support from the MAGA crowd with his rhetoric about America First and promising an isolationist stance of not getting them involved in foreign wars, the US has ramped up its operations and launched a heavy attack on Venezuela with Trump boasting that they have captured its president with more to come in a statement later.

I'm not doubting the allegations of corruption or of degrees of complicity in either drug trafficking or shady oil deals by the ruling regime in Venezuela but this is surely far more about Trump exaggerating such claims in order to justify his actions because he wants a regime change in the country more friendly to himself so that he can get his hands on their oil and gold. Naturally, he will sell this to his supporters as all benefiting US interests but you can bet anything that the grifter in chief will make sure he gets his own grubby little hands in on any deals.

If there is any truth at all in talk of a New World Order, it seems to now mean that Trump will forget Europe and elsewhere and primarily concentrate on his allowed sphere of influence which will be those countries closer at hand - those of South America and Greenland for example. Whether he ditches Taiwan and allows China their wishes there (as he has so far enabled Putin over Ukraine) remains to be seen.
