Why Now? Venezuela and the U.S. Playbook [II Bathroom #20]
The us government wants to do more than just provide a nice safe home for your crypto and rules of the road to keep the industry nice and tucked in (albeit with a uzi under the pillow). They also want to liberate and bring freedom to Venezuela and its president who is threatening not to recognize the results of the election.....by a US president who totally has never done that.
With the News on Jan 3rd that the US has made decisive military action we pivot from digital rules to America's favorite industrial complex as we unpack why the U.S. suddenly seems very interested in Venezuela again. Spoiler: it’s not because we missed the arepas.In this episode, we break down the strategy and logic behind U.S. involvement in Venezuela—from energy security and geopolitical positioning to why failing states become irresistible chess pieces the moment global supply chains get shaky. We talk oil (obviously) and why Venezuela maps to stabilization, extraction, and the present moment in US politics.
Along the way, we ask:
Why now?
Who actually benefits?
And how many times can the U.S. claim it’s “helping” before everyone stops believing it?
As always, this is a tangent filled cacophony of slightly unhinged conversation about empire maintenance, moral gray zones, and why Venezuela’s fate says more about America than it does about Venezuela.
No conspiracy boards. No flag-waving. Just geopolitics, incentives, and the uncomfortable reality that power hates a vacuum—and America really hates when someone else fills it first.

From who ways to DDOS your way into following less laws to what counts as a "Dog coin"
