Venezuela Update

Economic boost for some, surely. The "reconstruction" of Iraq made some very wealthy. They got an economic "boost". Cui bono?

True. Who's whispering in Trump's ear?

So just about any conflict is destabilization, and any destabilization = every destabilization?

Venezuela is already a failed state under sanctions and, even worse, communism.
Nothing really would destabilize anything there. Nor would anyone feel anything.
There'll be more capital flowing on polymarket bets than what's risked here.

Markets don't like war but they also don't like incompetent man-children cosplayers running things they can't handle.

Worst case it hurts its biggest buyer - China.

You miss the point.

You miss the point.

Then what is the economic harm here?
What is destabilized and who gets hurt and why?
