I am certainly sympathetic to views that Trump’s Venezuelan adventure should be condemned because it dovetails with his generally pro-Israel views. It relieves Israel of a staunch critic and offers opportunities for our oligarchic, heavily Jewish elite to exploit Venezuela. It does nothing to advance the interests of White America—unless some of Mayorkas’s Venezuelan illegals decide to repatriate themselves. And I feel betrayed by the years of Trump saying he was against regime-change actions only to attempt yet another one. Can Iran be far behind?
The good news is that—at least so far—there are no U.S. troops on the ground. The plan is to effect a bloodless decapitation by removing an evil dictator. If that happens, we can only regret that something similar didn’t happen in Iraq. What’s unacceptable is a forever war with American casualties.
The bloodless coup could only happen if Venezuelans were basically okay with it, and apparently they are or else there would be massive rioting in the streets of Caracas. If I were Venezuelan, I would be happy Maduro is gone no matter how it was accomplished. There are credible reports that his regime was engaged in oppressive behavior—killings, torture, sexual violence and arbitrary detention of his political opponents, and that he stole Venezuela’s presidential election in 2024. He destroyed the Venezuelan economy, including its oil industry to the point that Trump is asking American oil companies to invest hundreds of billions to rebuild it — unlikely to happen because companies like Exxon have had property expropriated in the past and lack confidence in the long-term stability of the government. Around eight million migrants left the country under Maduro. Many came to the U.S., and more would come if Maduro was allowed to continue his depredations and socialist incompetence.
So Maduro is a bad guy, but it was refreshing to hear that the reason for the decapitation was Venezuelan oil— but that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily bad for the Venezuelans despite the “might makes right” rhetoric. This is not about the democracy and freedom excuses given by the neocons while their real aim is to help their favorite country. Like Stephen Miller, I am unconcerned about the legality of the operation or whether it can pass muster with sanctimonious, Trump-hating liberals. As Miller said, it’s about the ability to exercise power. ““The United States is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We’re a superpower, and under President Trump, we are going to conduct ourselves as a superpower. … the post-World War II period of the West ‘apologizing and groveling and begging’ was over.” Miller has the mindset of his co-ethnics who are running Israel—it’s all about power. Morality be damned.
Now I suppose it’s possible that this will not turn out well for the Venezuelan people, but it’s hard to see how things could get any worse for them. So until it’s obvious they are worse off under the new arrangement, I will continue to believe that they could be far better off getting rid of socialism and an oppressive government, and getting an economy that works. Let’s face it, most of Latin America is unable to govern itself sensibly. As Ann Coulter wrote:
Back when the U.S. was constantly meddling in Latin America, removing and inserting leaders at will, I note that 100,000 Americans weren’t dying of drug overdoses every year. Cuba and Venezuela weren’t emptying their prisons and mental institutions into our country for fun. Third Worlders weren’t streaming across our border, killing, raping and robbing Americans. Instead of cocaine and Fentanyl, the region’s main exports were things like oil and sugar. Today, they can’t manage to extract natural resources there for the taking. …
With rare exceptions, brief periods of prosperity in Latin America are invariably followed by revolution, seizure of major industries, grandiose promises to “the people,” graft, corruption, gangsterism, violence and economic collapse. As historian Paul Johnson put it, “Everyone in [Latin America] talked revolution and practiced graft.”
Richard Lynn estimated Venezuelan IQ to be around 88, so it’s not surprising that they are not very good at governing themselves — like voting themselves into a socialist dictatorship. Some countries need managing for their own good. Haiti for example, but managing Haiti would be a crashing headache and there would be nothing for the U.S. in such a relationship, except maybe preventing Haitians from trying to get to the U.S.
There are also classic great power conflicts of interest here. Besides having access to Venezuelan resources, making Venezuela into a puppet of the U.S. would keep China at bay. And can anyone believe that China would treat Venezuelans better than the U.S.?
China is Venezuela’s largest creditor and, by far, its largest buyer of oil, accounting for more than 80 per cent of crude exports. China is also a major investor in mining and infrastructure under Mr Xi’s signature Belt and Road Initiative. In 2024, bilateral trade in goods reached US$6.4 billion (S$8.2 billion), a year-on-year increase of 52.5 per cent.
Chinese companies also dominate telecommunications in Venezuela.
Russia is also deeply involved in Venezuela. As much as I would like to see Russia as part of the West and with a strong alliance with the U.S., that is not going to happen until Trump simply overrides Zelensky and the Europeans who are in favor of forever war and forces an end to the war. That would be an excellent expression of U.S. power and confirm the reality that NATO is essentially dead. Western Europe is dying—ideologically castrated, impotent and likely to become a Muslim caliphate in the foreseeable future. Hence Trump’s threats on Greenland.
Keeping other major powers out of the Western hemisphere is certainly a legitimate American interest. It’s the same logic that motivated Putin to invade Ukraine after repeated encroachments by the West. Putin had long been patient as NATO crept closer and closer to its borders despite promises to the contrary, the last straw being Ukraine’s desire to join NATO, especially after the 2014 CIA-led anti-Russian coup.
Of course, much could go wrong with this operation. There may eventually be significant pushback from armed gangs loyal to Maduro that would destabilize the country and force a bloody boots-on-the-ground intervention that could end up like Iraq. So this is a huge gamble.
There is now a new international order dominated explicitly by power and force. And an even more powerful presidency. Congress is already impotent, and it’s unlikely they could end the operation now, nor could they have prevented the decapitation even if they wanted to. The president has become more like an emperor—which means that elections become even more important if they are even allowed to continue at all. In the late Roman Republic, civil wars raged to the point that most people were happy to see the end of the Republic and the beginning of Empire.
Given our irreconcilable differences and hyperpolarization, that may just happen here. The belief that the other side acceding to this kind of power is an unacceptable outcome is the sort of thing that can lead to civil war. Imagine a typical, very mainstream far-left Democrat obtaining power and imprisoning race realists, White advocates, and other dissenters. It’s already happening in much of Western Europe, especially in the U.K. with the Labour government in control. Freedom of speech is an increasingly distant memory.
We have entered a very dangerous period.

Apparently the Brazilians and Germans are getting in bed together. Mercosur and the EU are going to form a free trade area.
Currently in the UK, the ruling Labour Party has started on a mass campaign of ‘postponing’, (that is, cancelling indefinitely), local government elections, on the most spurious and opaque of grounds possible. Usually they babble on about some sort of ‘reorganisation’ which just happens to render the normal 5 year electoral cycle ‘impractical’.
Of course, the real reason is that the Labour Party is in dire fear of wipeout at the hands of the insurgent anti-immigration Reform Party. The irony is that Reform was merely the popular backlash against Labour’s policy of massive unrestricted uncontrolled immigration into the UK.
Outrageous polemic rant! How can you refer to the decapitated murder of over a hundred innocent people as “bloodless”? The truth is, Venezuelans protested against Trump’s criminal actions and supported Maduro, who is still recognized as the legitimate president of Venezuela, as confirmed by his current Vice President. The citizens and the military stood by their leaders then and continue to do so now. The abduction of Maduro did not alter the situation in any way. Additionally, Venezuela is under the control of a barbaric regime influenced by Satanic Jews, which resorts to violence as its main form of communication.
I believe you mean, the U.S. “is under the control of a barbaric regime influenced by Satanic Jews, which resorts to violence as its main form of communication.”
Imagine being this retarded. I recommend you kill yourself to avoid further humiliation.
Let’s face it, the US is unable to govern itself sensibly. Therefore, the Judeo-American empire is in no position to tell others how to govern themselves.
Then this is bad.
Benefits Israel and/or jews = BAD
Sad to see this coming from K Mac.
Is this AI Kevin writing here?
We do not have enough facts to sort out the current situation in Venezuela which looks like a gentle palace coup of sorts more than anything; in other words Maduro may have left voluntarily.
The USA gave Venezuela the cold shoulder (and vice-versa) after they tried to wean themselves off our firm guiding hand during Chavez’ era. 😉 The resulting Venezuelan expat community seems reminiscent of the rabid anti-Russian diaspora which enthusiastically backs the US drive to crush Putin’s Russia or cause WW3 trying.
While an IQ 88 crowd embracing socialist economic ideas is a bad recipe, it is not so easy to unravel the causes of Venezuela’s problems. Especially when we can safely assume the CIA and other dangerous parasites have been trying to undermine the Bolivarian economy to cause regime change continuously since, oh 1999.
Venezuela’s oil production was gradually recovering with China’s help.
I hope the people of Venezuela can turn this into an opportunity to get their economy somewhat more functional without losing their political and cultural sovereignty to the USA. Maybe things will work out if we just imagine the best of MAGA (click your heels, Toto) and hope they can move in that direction, not into the current hellstorm burning in the USA. They can get good jobs just before AI and robots make those obsolete.
Speaking of AI, it crossed my mind that one of the Tech Bros may have concluded that Vz has enough under-utilized natural gas that installation of 10 gigawatts of AI compute centers might go faster down there. Maybe little “Big Balls” told Trump to grab and Trump grabbed. This is a guess, perhaps we will know in time.
Speaking of wacky theories, what’s the latest on the voting machine story which seems at least partially based in reality?
Well, at least the Brazilians won’t destroy their gas pipelines.
I believe you mean, the U.S. “is under the control of a barbaric regime “owned” by Satanic Jews.”
In what way does American intoxication involve foreign nations? I’d be happy to see the number go from 100K to a million or more. Stupid people do stupid things and when we are unusually lucky, it kills them. And all with our own resources. South America and China have nothing on the CIA, so why this continuous fairy tale of foreign devils tempting Americans with death?
American drug deaths are dwarfed by the damage alcohol does — and not even Coulter is stupid enough to want Prohibition back. So why the constant lie about the comparatively few deaths from drugs every year? And most drug ODs, for those of us who’ve seen the readouts from evidence labs, are in fact “dope plus alcohol”. The toxicology report of George Floyd was typical.
The Venezuelan story is old news…the Trump bandwagon has moved on…Trump has warned all Americans to leave Iran immediately, if you can. I wonder what will happen next?
If I was Iran I would warn all Iranians to leave the U.S, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Israel immediately if you can.
By naming all these states it will give Trump a headache trying to workout which will be hit in retaliation to a U.S/Israel strike on Iran.
If I was Iran I would destroy the Gulf States oil industry, they will do the same to Iran and then the world will turn on the U.S for causing all the misery that all oil poor nations will experience with no oil being shipped in.
It’s time for the BRICS to start fighting, the U.S has declared war and will continue to strike out if there are no consequences for their actions.
You cannot turn the other cheek forever… otherwise you will have a face full of red swollen cheeks.
You’ve quoted out of context. The opening paragraph clearly opposes the attack on Venezuela inasmuch as it increases Jewish power.
Read in its entirety, though, the column helps the Establishment to justify the attack as
etc. The third paragraph regurgitates his demonization by the Establishment, the playbook used to propagandize people into sending their kids and/or mi$$ile$ off to two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Palestine, Ukraine, Syria, Iran …
The author also openly endorses militarized imperialism with supremacist rhetoric straight out of the 19th century
might makes right machismo
and to “keep China at bay.”
Why is taking up for Uncle Sam so pervasive among TUR’s race focused writers?
You’d have more of a leg to stand on about Venezuela being unable to govern themselves if Venezuela hadn’t been a republic for about as long as the US.
Try not sanctioning, killing and meddling in other countries and foreigners will take less of an interest in you.
Duh? It seems pretty obvious this is the case. I haven’t heard of China bombing and blockading Venezuela with essentially no pretext. Venezuela is under no sanctions from China, China hasn’t bombed Caracas and killed 100+ people… The choice is self evident.
Very low-brow article. You may as well go live among the low-iq Venezuelans you speak of. You’ll fit right in.
MacDonald was not harsh enough on Maduro, whose arbitrary detentions were not only of his political opponents, but in fact of random citizens who are in jail for no other reason than for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Venezuela is certainly no worse off without Maduro; anyway, so far the cost of this operation to the U.S. has been very small.
I can’t say what Kevin Mac or other commenters are motivated by. I can speculate a little myself, but I have no special knowledge.
Another Mac who I trust, Col. Doug MacGregor, has been saying that greater war is coming and I don’t recall him equivocating about it. Open war will soon be upon us whether we would have it or not. Taking first one source of fossil fuels away from China and then taking away another (see color revolution in Iran this week) would be a logical prelude to war. In fact, it’s pretty much what ignited the Pacific war in 1941, with Japan being the China of those days. Russia will then need to decide who to support, if anyone.
A lot of people think that the USA is on the verge of failure and breaking up. In that context, starting a world war out of desperation may be exactly what we’re seeing.
