I saw where Krasnov spoke with Maduro. Could Krasnov have his fossil fuel pals pony up wheelbarrows full of money and provide Maduro with comfortable lodging at a tropical island?
The only thing that Maduro has to do is see that he is replaced by a Krasnov crony.

(1,767 posts)This the only reason it's so urgent that Trump goes after Maduro now because a Democrat in office later would just tell the greedy billionaires to take a hike. Any deal now will definitely make sure the billionaires get paid as point number one. This is the same rationale for their Ukraine peace plan, where Trump cronies were literally making concessions on behalf of Ukraine (without Ukraine's permission) in return for personal business deals with Russia.

Because the Epstein event horizon is rapidly approaching.
Even if the DOJ (Defenders of Jeffrey) lock up all they have in an ion trap, evidence will come out condemning TSF's complicity in the greatest sex and extortion scandal in history.

He is beyond desperate. This is his Ethiopia (If he didn't fail history, he sure didn't learn from it)
So, like the movie, what if he molested a troop of brownie scouts? Make a war.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/385521-trump-we-dont-want-to-be-the-policemen-of-the-world/President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the policemen of the world.
We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world, Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
Were spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldnt be the priority, he said.
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.
UNTIL THEY WERE NEEDED TO TRY TO COVER UP HIS UTTER DEPRAVITY.
Which, when exposed will take down his entire empire and entourage, kings, heads of state, (ahem) judges, and others.

(59,528 posts)Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
