Dude, they're called opinions, lighten up. Remember how you were so sure, without evidence, that Trump did Netanyahu's bidding by bombing Iran? There were other possible scenarios and I"m wondering how that assertion of yours is so different than what you take issue with me about this.
There is also some talk about some billionaires like Lauder, apparently pals with both Putin and Trump, pushing for regime change there since Trump's first term.
And, of course, the amoral hedge fund bros:
"Which is not to say that nobody has profited from the abduction of Maduro. A few months ago Trumpist billionaire Paul Singer bought Citgo, the former U.S.-based arm of Venezuela’s state-run oil company. Citgo owns three Gulf Coast refineries custom-built to process Venezuelan crude, refineries that have suffered from the U.S. embargo on imports of that crude. If Trump lifts that embargo, Singer will receive a huge windfall." - Krugman Substack, 01.07
