In plain language US is at war with Venezuela without Congressional authorization. With no plans for tomorrow. But cabinet, Congressional Republicans and media will all give Trump tongue bath.

My father came to this country from Venezuela. I still have family there. Venezuela has a long and proud history of being the leader of democracy in all of South America. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth. I hope this is about restoring democracy there and not just an oil grab.

Do you trust Trump to have democracy in mind, and not the oil reserves?

This will take over the news spin from Jeffery Epstein....I saw it coming! Congress apparently has been castrated by the authoritarians and the executive branch.

But we all know its about the oil.

And power.

Um. Cool? The "peace president" bringing back world war... Awesome...

 

[UncleCliffy'sDaddy]

Am I literally the only one who remembers a certain politician promisinfg that the US would involve themselves in NO foreign wars if that individual was elected to the presidency? But then this is the same asshole who promised full transparency on the Epstein files, stated repeatedly he had NO knowledge of Project 2025, yada, yada, yada. Every person who voted for this obvious con man should have their voting privileges revoked for the rest of their lives, as they have proven beyond all reasonable doubt they are far too stupid to be allowed to make any decisions beyond breathing. And even that should be subject lengthy debate before a final decision is made......un fucking believable that the base that bought every ounce of his bullshit is staying silent on this (except for MTG....shudder). As a country, America is beyond stupid and embarrassing.

 

[riverman]

Mexico and Brazil have expressed outrage in Trump crossing the line by this action. Trump continues to threaten to do the same in Mexico.

Is that bad?
And if so - why?

Well, at least you know Venezuela’s future is in the hands of a stable genius who always acts from a principled position based on what is truly best for the world[‘s richest .0001% of the population.

Old fashioned imperialism. Invade a country, take over national resources. It is bad because the oil doesn't belong to the US. Do you honestly think it's OK for a powerful country to invade a smaller country in order to take over its resources?
And @UncleCliffy'sDaddy no you are not the only one.
Dear lord, when Marjorie Taylor Greene is voice of reason...

 

[RR7]

Is it bad to kidnap another country's leader so that we can invade and exploit THEIR natural resources? Are you fucking joking?

 

[crandc]

A month ago the Senate voted on a resolution to block US invasion of Venezuela. It failed 49-51 with so called moderate Susan Collins casting deciding no vote. She is up for re-election this year.

 

[riverman]

What ever happened to the good old days when we'd arm the locals and support them in toppling their own dictator?

 

[riverman]

I honestly think death threats gave her her come to Jesus rebirth concerning Trump. She's impressionable. She also is a bit paranoid.

Ideologically speaking, I am not for Imperialism. However, the world is not pink. So I rather have USA as strongest power in the world, over other countries that are seeking power these days.
Living in the US and enoying its privilges is not a bad thing at all, and promoting ties (power) with other regions of the world that can share values and interests that allign is a win-win IMO.

Venezuela under Maduro is not a country leading towards global peace and quiet for all mankind..

Edit - following futher thinking, I amend my inital take - I think Imperalism is Fact. Humanity trait. Historically speaking the minute Humans led socializing lives - Imperialism became a constant fact. So Ideologically speaking - I am not for or against it - it is just intrinsic to being human in societies. (Power=Empire)

He will do the same to Cuba, Mexico and Colombia

international law is dead

Why is that funny? A lot of people around the world think exactly like me..
So my view is just to be easily cancelled?
Or can you comment as to what is wrong with my logic. Or why you disagree.

So basically, might makes right.

We're stronger militarily than other sovereign nations, so that gives us the right to take their stuff? That's a fucked up world view, and short sighted.
