China already has Iran and Russia mainlining their black gold into the veins of its economy and receiving payment via Chinas trade payment protocol alternatives to SWIFT and USD hegemony .
Venezuela is routing its heavy crude to China via Iran.
This is too much for Trump who in the face of China humiliating him and his bluster hopes to retain at least regional hegemony over the Americas.
Russia has joined China is saying 'Fuck you Uncle Sam...you are a spent force.'
The bottom line is that USA cannot now fight a war of any scale without China resuming the supply of rare earths which are essential to modern warfare.
But Venezuela is surely a scenario where the near crippled US military industrial complex can still assert it power projection and hegemony over strategic resources - or can it?
If it cannot, the petrodollar and the US empire it supports, is one more step closer to redundancy.
