Nah, but USA will have to overthrow their evil ruthless dictator to free the shit out of the people and deliver some American-Style Democracy™.

I could see the US pushing the Invasion of Venezuela above everything else. They would only get some iron and lead for invading North Korea. Absolute worst spoils ever, which is really working to North Koreas advantage right now.

If you wanted to cull your own military, North Korea would be far more effective as a means of meatgrinding, but then again - its just as easy to throw someone overboard in the middle of the ocean if you want to get rid of them.

Venezuela : even more of a mess.

They are going to back the sovereign with oil and cryptocurrencies. Ok, now that's a plan.

This will piss off our financial overlords ..... the Americans (until the Chinese take over)

Supposedly they raised wages to $30 per month.

I dunno. Seems too capitalist. Since they don't use nickels down there (they use Gold) the gold to wages ratio is off bigtime.

That is a staggering jump from the $2 per month previously.

Don't bet on the Chinese for now.

They may have a debt crisis on their hand that potentially worse than Japan's lost decades.

Looking at a 5 year SSE Composite Index, is not very inspiring. I had no idea this was the case - a slow speed crash.
