The Stable Genius Report

• Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America.
• The Armada will only get bigger, and the shock to Venezuela will be unprecedented.
• Venezuela is accused of stealing oil, land, and other assets from the United States.
• The illegitimate Maduro Regime finances drug terrorism, human trafficking, murder, and kidnapping with stolen oil.
• The Venezuelan Regime has been designated a FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.
• A total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of Venezuela is ordered.
• The Maduro Regime sent illegal aliens and criminals into the United States during the Biden Administration.
• These illegal aliens and criminals are being returned to Venezuela rapidly.
• America will not tolerate robbery, threats, or harm from criminals, terrorists, or other countries.
• All stolen oil, land, and other assets must be returned to the United States immediately.

The direct order for a 'TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS going into, and out of, Venezuela,' coupled with the explicit mention of seizing 'Oil, Land, and other Assets' from Venezuela, indicates a severe disruption to global oil markets and heightened geopolitical risk. This would likely cause a significant spike in crude oil prices, increase investor uncertainty, and trigger a broad sell-off in risk assets, including the S&P 500, due to fears of economic instability and potential military conflict.

The post details a significant military deployment with an 'Armada ever assembled,' directly threatens a sovereign nation with 'shock... like nothing they have ever seen before,' orders a 'TOTAL AND COMPLETE BLOCKADE OF ALL SANCTIONED OIL TANKERS,' and labels the regime a 'FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.' These actions and rhetoric indicate a very high probability of international conflict escalation, potentially leading to direct military engagement or severe economic warfare.
