Ah so this would mean the VP wasn’t the American pick to run the country?
Who did they expect would take charge when the president is gone, that’s literally a VPs job

“Give us your oil or else”

I have a theory there was a deal with the other Chavista leaders for them to become his puppets and removing Maduro was just for an easy political win and perhaps because he was seen as too unreliable or close to the Cuban forces in the country, who knows?
But honestly, who knows at all? this fucker says something different every single day. Its a geopolitical thriller written by an amnesiac ape high on amphetamines.

I agree with the other poster that next it will be Mexico, Greenland, and Canada, in that order because he can use drugs as an excuse for Mexico. Nigeria and Iran have been mentioned but they don’t have oil and minerals he wants. His promises about Ukraine are forgotten by Trump and his MAGA faithful.
As a Canadian I’m angry that Congress isn’t doing anything to stop him. In school I was told about the checks and balances that made the US government the best in the world. My teacher was a fan. Now it’s needed, of course, those checks and balances don’t work in the real world.

Hmm what could he possibly mean by “fate worse than Maduro’s”?
Imagine if someone online made the exact same threat to POTUS.

Just when I get hope he’s 80 and time is running out, there’s more, worse people behind him. Pandora’s Box might as well be fully open now. *sigh*

“Trump threatens Venezuela’s new leader with a fate worse than Maduro’s”
So…. a position as Trump’s lawyer?

Imagine just as an example that a random country like ireland decided to do the same thing that the trump did to Venezuela.
The double standard of the US being allowed to do whatever they want in other countries has to end. They’re no better than Russia invading Ukraine or China going into Taiwan

Its like the whole civilian population of the us has just suddenly and all at once forgotten what the world looked like in the lead up to ww2. This has literaly been our “Germany takes Poland and the world writes a strongly worded letter against hitler” moment, and it’s gonna keep progressing from here.

People focus on Trump and his immediate circle but this is a complete systemic failure of every institution meant to provide checks and the rule of law.

So then the arrest of Maduro wasn’t for the reasons Trump says. Because for a greater punishment there would need to be a greater crime. So what crime did this other person commit?

>Trump said it was up to others to decide what U.S.-military action in Venezuela means for Greenland. “They are going to have to view it themselves. I really don’t know.
One more time for people in the back: “I REALLY DON’T KNOW”
How many times have you heard him say that? For myself, just about every day.
I bet if you asked him to point to Greenland on a map he couldn’t do it.
He has no clue what is going on. They pull his strings and his mouth moves. The US does not have a president, it has an incompetent cabinet and group of nut bag advisors that actually runs things and feed him bullshit flattery, cheeseburgers, Coke, and policy re: what will happen next.
When they talk about DEEP STATE, it’s a confession, not an accusation.

Dear fellow Americans: the solution to a malignancy of this magnitude on the body politic is excision, not tolerance. We have laws in this country (like the founding documents) that provide for exactly such surgical intervention. Let’s enforce them before the orange cancer spreads any further.

Epstein files, anyone?
AstroPedastro on
If America can invade and kidnap a president in any country just because they deem it necessary, then so can China or any other country. And it is not just kidnapping.
40 people died when trying to capture Maduro. People’s houses got bombed.
So I guess any country can now just randomly kill people because they deem it necessary for some random goal.
Good to know.. because that means international law is moot and it is back to who has the biggest gun.
And the most beautiful thing of this all.. is because it was asked by ExxonMobil… Guess big corporations rule the world and if you stand in their way of making money you are gone.

Kinda crazy that the most powerful country on earth’s institutions and processes just fall apart if a guy in trumps position just refuses to go along with it. No actual safety mechanisms.

Damn, that’s crazy. Where are the epstein files?
francis2559 on
So they didn’t invade because Venezuela is still running itself. No wait, Rubio is running it.
I think they are trying to make it so they get as much of a payout for as little work as possible. That is, intimidate the country into giving over oil rights, without needing boots on the ground.

The intentions are so blatant it’s unreal. The dictator was removed from the country, not to enforce democracy, but to make the dictator’s second in command more open to letting American oil companies take and sell Venezuela’s oil for themselves.
Anyone, from Venezuela or not, that thinks this was a move of benevolence from the U.S., and not a form of hostile negotiation for the sake of profits, is misinformed, deluding themselves, or actively promoting American imperialism.
PepperMill_NA on
Don’t forget the Epstein files, the shit economy, and Jack Smith’s recent testimony. Trump will light his own farts to distract the people in the US.
I’m not downplaying the Republican party’s imperial ambitions, suggesting one way to counter them.

So he just made it clear that the “charges” are BS and it was just an invasion. He is now demanding an acting head of state that they will be punished if they do not surrender their country.
