On the surface of the Venezuela conflict, we seem to have a case of the irresistible force facing off against the immovable object. Who is going to win? Will it be the United States or will it be the combined forces of Russian, China and Cuba? I think the answer is neither. This article will discuss why the most likely outcome is a joint venture that controls enezuelVa much to the chagrin of the Rothschild bankers.
A few months ago, the Rothschilds seemed to have the world’s powers where they wanted them. On one hand, we had the BRICS who are dedicated to not being under the influence of the American petrodollar and following gold backed purchases of oil from nations like Iran. On the other hand, the US would presumably want to promote the status quo and maintain the dollar as the world’s reserve currency as manifested in all oil purchases. It would also seem that the world is moving towards WW III among these two divergent groups. However, there has been a sea change and the Rothschilds central banking cartel is now being threatened.
The Venezuelan Crisis
Tyler Durden from Zero Hedge is reporting the following as it has much bearing on the outcome of the Venezuela crisis:
Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev told Argumenty i Fakty that the US is deploying military assets to Puerto Rico and Colombia for a future military intervention in Venezuela to remove President Nicolás Maduro from power.
“Showing sarcasm and arrogance towards the Venezuelan people, the United States is preparing a military invasion of an independent state,” Patrushev told the Russian newspaper.
According to his statements, Washington is transferring “American special operations forces to Puerto Rico, the landing of US forces in Colombia,” which “clearly indicates that the Pentagon is reinforcing the grouping of troops in the region.”
As he explained, Venezuela rejected humanitarian aid imposed on it by the US because it recognizes that Washington uses aid as a precursor to military intervention.
“And the Venezuelan people understand this well. Hence, such a reaction, the refusal to accept cargo from the aggressor country and the support of their president,” Patrushev added.
The Russian security official said that Washington recommended holding several talks on Venezuela, and Moscow accepted. However, Trump administration officials started using far-fetched pretexts to circumvent these discussions, Patrushev added.,,
Last week, president Putin said that Russia is militarily ready for a “Cuban Missile-style crisis”, commenting on nuclear first strike capability amidst growing tensions with the US. The remarks were given to Russian media following a prior speech wherein he warned Moscow will match any attempt by the US to station intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe in the wake of the now collapsing INF treaty.
Putin specifically threatened deployment of hypersonic missiles on ships and submarines which could enter US territorial waters without detection if American intermediate-range missiles move into Europe….
While it remains unclear just how far Russia’s commitment to protecting the Maduro regime would stretch…
This is where the Durden article makes a lot of sense. I have a State Department source that tells me that these talks are already taking place. One of the possibilities is that Russia and the US will divide the economic boot in Venezuela into zones of influence with each country, including China, will divide up the vast oil and gold assets in VZ. The same source also said that this is being discussed, in secret, between Trump officials and the Chinese in their ongoing bilateral trade talks. I asked the obvious question as to why the Russians are threatening to nuke American targets like Camp David and the Pentagon. I was told that this is more than likely rhetoric designed to provide a smokescreen for what is really being discussed between the planet’s super-powers.
I have spoken to several economic experts that I rely on for accurate information and to a person, they do not believe that Putin will risk WW III over Venezuela. They feel that this is typical “art of the deal stuff” being employed by Trump and that the super-powers are going to carve up Venezuela like the proverbial Thanksgiving turkey that it has become. I asked my State Department source what that would look like and they said Berlin, following World War II. I think it is likely that the Russia will turn on Venezuela, if it can find a way to harness some of their wealth. China, on the other hand, is in such dire economic straits, that they will accept any financial deal that keeps them a step or two ahead of the proverbial burning bridge. Has anyone noticed that the Trump administration is strangely silent about the Chinese military and their role in the confiscation of white farmers’ land in South Africa in which China is sharing in this tyranny by the South African government? It leads one to believe that the Trump administration has reached an understanding on China’s role in Africa in exchange for future considerations in Venezuela. That view is shared by some experts I have spoken with.
Maduro’s Options
Maduro has no options as it relates to his autonomy of a leader of a country that has drawn the attention of the world’s super-powers. If Russia, China and Cuba keep Maduro in play as a leader, he will only operate as a puppet leader. His resources will be plundered by these BRICS nations and his people’s labor will be in support of propping up the economies of Russia, China and Cuba. And as I am predicting, America can have its name added to this list of imperial nations as well if all the players join forces and turn Maduro into a puppet.
Pompeo and Bolton, both extreme NEOCONS, are poised to go to war. However, the Colombian exercise is posturing. Neither side wants war because it would defeat the purpose of controlling Venezuela’s vast resources. Half a loaf is better than no loaf.
