I understand the Chinese have huge investments in Venezuela and they are backing Madura as the new guy has indicated that debt will not be paid back.

A few Venezuelan Government leaders will end up billionaires from all the aid and the rest of the country will starve. Why should Venezuela be any different than any of the other third world holes other countries have tried to help out.

Oil

He has plenty of that in his own country. it's about once again attempting to establish a satellite state in South America. It's more about influence but oil can help in fulfilling that objective.

The Chinese are making huge investments in resource-rich countries, especially in Africa. That complicates the equation immensely.

In the long run either China or Russia will win the who gets to take over the Earth game. As far as the US goes we are our own worst enemy. I doubt the US will even exist in a hundred years.
