3. Crazy hearing someone is actually claiming power over the entire world.

I would have expected to hear something this extreme from the _Bush presidency.

Guess they are willing to go all out, put it all on the line on this one situation.

We all know Venezuela can surely expect to quickly fill in the gap, find the needed compensation with other countries who'd be glad to buy Venezuelan oil. That, of course, is where the US would threaten to bring negative pressure against them, and then we'd have another layer of conflict, but the rest of the world has seen that happening already.

At some point, that threat against the whole world is going to fail.
