The most prominent case for such a future would be china moving against Taiwan, which now got easier with two of the 3 big world powers making their move.

Taiwan is stronger than Venezuela.
China is much weaker than the Golden Empire.

Taiwan is a different story. There are quite detailed war simulations built for defending the country. I guess you might mean that russia is one of the “3 big world” powers and their move is the special operations to capture kiev. I stop here

Yes, I meant China, Russia and the US with the "3 big world" powers and yes, I was referring to the war Ukraine. I am aware that the situation in Taiwan, Ukraine and Venezuela cannot be compared one-to-one. My categorization was not intended to suggest that these 'moves' are the same, nor to make any evaluation regarding good or bad. From the respective perspectives of the 3 world powers, they have been motivated by different interests.

What frustrates me is the justification I hear for this from those opposed to the kidnapping of Maduro, an illegitimate president.
Somehow it's not ok for the USA to violently meddle in the internal affairs of another country, but it is for the PRC because... Taiwan is nearby? Because the people speak the same language? Because the ghosts of the CPC's past are here on the island? It's frustrating.
