The Chinese representative to the United Nations gave a long and impassioned speech to the General Assembly. In this presentation, he strongly condemned the action taken and the abduction of President Maduro and his wife. He referenced the rule of law and the UN Charter, and the unlawful acts taken in Venezuela. And he demanded the immediate release of Maduro and his wife.

It seems that the Trump administration had not done its homework regarding Venezuela. Some are saying that China has invested heavily there, to the tune of perhaps 10 billion dollars, and that this invasion would turn over all the natural resources to the USA when China was hoping for its share of this natural wealth.

With China being a world power and a key trading partner with the USA, it seems more and more like a dumb decision to invade.

While condemnation is worldwide, it must still be noted that Maduro was not a democratic leader and had mismanaged Venezuela’s economy and its vast oil and mineral assets.

With the bluster of a high school yard bully, Trump talked about Iran, Mexico, Greenland, Cuba, and other countries where he might invade.

The people of Taiwan have lived under the threat of a China invasion for years. And now the USA has opened this door for China to do just that. Putin now must feel more emboldened to invade other countries while maintaining its current war. And what is to stop North Korea, with the help of Russia, from attacking South Korea?

We are now in a political dark whirlpool that could push us into the horrific tsunami of a third world war.

And this has happened because of the wrong-headed advice by a non-seasoned, uneducated administration that has brought us to the brink of political and economic collapse.

Also, it places in danger embassy staff, business personnel, and tourists who might become victims as a result of the actions of our government.

Some say that the Trump invasion of Venezuela was to distract from the damaging photos and reports of Trump within the Epstein files. Also, with the economic problems at home, in particular the cost of health care, they were trying to get the media’s focus elsewhere.

Whatever the reason, it was the wrong action, and it is creating the possibility of some god-awful reactions.

Some suggest that a third party (government) assist the USA in getting out of this mess, although others think that the administration will not listen to anyone’s advice.

But something must be done to diminish the chaos and violence.
