Jesus Christ. So much for a limited strike.
Impeach and remove. Right fucking now. Enough forever oil wars.
And release the rest of those damn Epstein files!

I’m all for Maduro’s regime to fall, but how is the US going to “run” Venezuela? The military still exists.
canada_mountains on
How is the US going to run it without troops on the ground? There is a power vacuum now.

If you needed any more proof that we are now deep in the “weeks where decades happen” phase, this is it.
The world’s policeman has gone rogue. Russia and China are now incentivised even further.

I wonder how Venezuelans will feel now, after hearing that statement.

It’s actually scarily funny how much a piece of shit Trump is.

He does know that you need boots on the ground for that?
Like lots of them, right?

The whole speech is so wildly surreal that I don’t even know whether he means it for real.

Announcing an occupation before actually occupying a country. Sounds like this was thoroughly thought through.

Can’t even govern the US.

He can barely run his own ffs.

Can we hear from some of the MAGA people who voted for him because of “no new wars” and “not the world police?” How are you feeling at this moment in time?

Trump needs to be Impeached and removed asap. He is unilaterally toppling governments now. Republicans are fucking cowards, enough is enough, he needs to go.

When China invades Taiwan, China will point to this moment as justification or precedent.

Thanks Trump voters! Higher Prices; A destroyed environment; continual erosion in public trust of science; and now a war!

This is exactly what Russia wanted to do to Ukraine. To the MAGA defending this, didn’t you guys vote for Trump because you wanted “America First” and that “we weren’t the world police?”

He also said it was an attack on sovereignty like never seen before 😂😂 you can’t make this shit up.
Btw I’ve never listened to one of his full speeches but that shit was terrible. That would get you a D in High school speech class. All I can say is he at least wrote or dictated what to write because he used words like gigantic 20 times.
malakon on
Trump just said we will run Venezuela until a legitimate government can be found. He also said all previous US oil installations will be retaken and US oil companies will resume control and oil production. How does that work unless we occupy the country.
He just said what we did was enforce an arrest warrant – so not war – a limited raid. We attacked, and left.
But the implication is we now control Venezuela.

Jesus fucking Christ, it’s probably Greenland next. How is this not being pushed back on by the military? It’s blatantly illegal.

Where the FUCK is Congress?
How is this not worthy of an emergency session and how does this not IMMEDIATELY trigger impeachment proceedings?
He didn’t get authorization from Congress, he didn’t inform the public.

LMAO.
The GOP can’t run America.
This is like having another kid when family services is about to take your other kids due to neglect.

So between this and the Argentina bailout, Americans could have totally afforded some American first benefits like healthcare and infrastructure but just didn’t. MAGA is a bunch of gullible idiots.

Right. So how about them Epstein files?

Russia attacked Ukraine to eradicate Nazi. Same shit different bs excuse by our orange man. He is following Putin playbook and we all know drugs is lie. It is about oil and always was and maybe world domination who the hell knows. These GOP extremist are slowly tearing America apart and without resistance really.

This is the most revolting human since Hitler. Change my fucking mind.
Americans have elected this turd and continue to support him.
Sickening.

For the 4th time in my lifetime, I have woken up to my country invading another, essentially declaring war without proper legal channels. Every time has been under a Republican president in the service of the oil companies.
This timeline blows.
