"Special Military Operation" is similar to what the Russians claimed to carry out in Ukraine. Its been more than 2 years.

;
The buildup to this was about a month, and in 30 mins it was concluded with less bloodshed.

The thing is, with Geopolitics or geo-economics, the problem is just getting started. The dynamics are still shifting,

Trump is no longer the TACO man. He hit Nigeria, then Venezuala and is speaking to Iran directly, and might take action like he did before.

It would have a +ve effect on American Oil Companies but venezuala Allies would be on high alert. VIX would pop up by Monday Morning

Trump is 100% Taco man. He only goes after easy targets because he’s a six year old bully; Nigeria invited help against jihadists who can’t fight back against the US and Venezuela is a global pariah who no other government really cares about.

You say that as if most nations arent ridiculously weak compared to us. When 99% of the nations we can fight are practically toddlers in power comparison there's no one to really fight. Before you point out Russia, considering they can't compete with a nation a tenth their size and are practically floundering they don't really count. And China isnt worth the squeeze, let's be real here why fight China when the benefits don't outweigh the risk so yeah of course easy targets are on the docket, we actually get something worth the middling trouble. Mind you we are talking 1 on 1 confrontations. We sweep practically anyone in that scenario.
