Grand Theft Venezuela. Yes. Think about it! Spin out the possibilities. Four hundred enemy helicopters and fighter jets and drones, each play a random number distribution set but totaling four hundred, your gamer perspective is one of Maduro's palace guards. Stop the Huns from capture of your prize, while staying alive while doing it, all by adroit use of your gaming interrface - keyboard control of one Kalishnikov 47, some body armor, and the ability to jump ten feet at a time.
It could be a big winner. You fight off adversary attack, and need to exit the palace alive with Maduro protected, or game over, tote up your score if your Maduro is killed or captured.
You'd always loose, but think of the point competition before losing. "I got 756,411 points, before my Maduro got captured and a bonus 75 points for holding off further for the spouse. 756,486 total, and that's so far the Internet post of most points." Woo woo!
It could be a massive appeal, right and left politics aside, what's good for Exxon is good for the invading Huns, and you need to fight off the Huns and Exxon. You against the massive fighting force the evil Hun leader has amassed for a land, sea and air capture of your Maduro.
Another possibility - Grand Hunt Osama, where you are a Pakistani Intelligence agent protecting a borderland compound with a target individual under house arrest etc, etc. and where your nearby military academy agents can or cannot be invoked, set binary random each play. Tote scores in each binary category.
One game for the Dems, one for the Repubs as the invading evil force.
A game like that might play in the third world better than in North America. Big question in design of Grand Theft Venezuela - how to work Simon Bolivar into a game script role. As a force on your side. A force of some kind, some measure, but how exactly?
TOI offers ideas for visuals in the game, but it would need faster action frames too if selling a video game.. Among other TOI items -
THIS = Spin the win example? So the question is, who'll win the spin?

Spin! Crabgrass' view? I agree with my friends. An unclear thing, stuff was bombed in the extraction of Maduro with an aim being for a show trial. Oil facilities bombed? You think? Internally sabot used, perhaps. But if so, do you think it's major mayhem, or subject to quick repair and resume pumping away?
And what about our grocery prices and healthcare prices spiraling? Stealing other peoples' natural resources might affect pump prices, but what about, say, food? What of Chinese soybean purchases? Brazil grows soybeans and Cargill is there as well as in Minnetonka headquarters.
Iran next, but who has a safe labor based income with AI arguably poised? What moves the US people is the situation in the US, and the question of theft or attempted theft of oil under non-US ground is related, i.e., their oil factored into our economy/supply chains, over time; it's a big guess.
Yet more spin, a sampling, here, here and here. Enough already. Remember, grocery prices, and watch the spin. And MTG's trying to grab the news, grabbing it by the Epstein.
UPDATE: Marco does say Iran, Hezbollah. What's that all about? And that Marco link, for me, segued into MTG critiquing what "America First" means. So if for you too, keep watching. Epstein still hot?
"My friends will get hurt" means what to you? And do you think for one minute Epstein hanged himself, or that this Maduro thing is about anything but oil and Marco and Trump's Florida having in residence there a mob of Venezuelan pissed off former bosses from there, collaborators then, since displaced making noise and promising to go back and retake their comforts? Things seem clear, including a big military and the building of a big federal Gestapo like force in our nation, the U.S. of A. And corporate oil interests get served while Americans are paying more to live. Like Obama bailing out the banks while Americans ate shit while being foreclosed, with nobody going to jail. MTG saying what she's saying is interesting, but is she sincere, or just another opportunist? She's now engaged to an ultra-rightwing media figure, the guy who jumped Zylinskyy over no suit.Go figure that one.
Was that "we're going to run that nation and its oil" press conference the functional equivalent of the little Bush's "Mission Acomplished" carrier landing? Seems so, but time must pass to see for sure.
