  1. > In the two-day Reuters/Ipsos survey that concluded Monday, 72 percent of Americans say they are concerned the U.S. might get too involved in Venezuela, while 25 percent say they don’t share that concern.

    > Across the ideological spectrum, majorities express concern about the potential of the U.S. to get overly involved in the Latin America country, but Republicans are far more divided than Democrats.

    “Republicans are far more divided,” is a very polite way of saying many are in a cult and won’t dare disagree with Dear Leader. Still, I’m glad to see the average American is not in favor of this horrible decision to violate international law and kidnap a foreign head of state so we can illegally extract oil

  2. Ever notice every nation intervention by neocons ends up costing us billions and your healthcare never gets better?

    If the US ever puts boots on the ground, it’ll quickly learn that proud Venezuelans won’t roll over and that any intervention would be long and painfully costly. Fingers crossed, goddammit.

    Involved? lol, to extract oil from that place, the US military will have to have a permanent presence and be attacked by revolutionaries on a daily basis.

  5. It was supposed to be about drugs. It never was. It’s now about protecting U.S. oil companies in Venezuela. There’s only the one: Chevron. Will we nuke someone to protect Exxon or Shell in the near future?

  6. This is gotta be the single most bipartisan hated thing he has done so far and nothing will happen.

    And almost 100% will suffer when our empire will inevitably collapse. There will be a lot of pain, but the world will be a better place without the US empire someday.

    If you voted for this administration, you are a top-shelf, S-tier, sub-zero IQ wielding regard.

    72% of Americans freaking out about deep involvement isn’t some fringe view, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows a majority are actually worried the U.S will get too wrapped up in this mess. People see the cost and the risk now, not just rhetoric.

  10. Not worried enough MAGA and fox are now beating the drums to overthrow Columbia, Cuba and Mexico. Its going to get far worse

    What inbreds think we won’t become too involved? It is not even a “worry”. It is going to happen. And it will fail.

  12. We shouldn’t be involved at all, and it’s a terrifying precedent. Now he’s threatening Mexico and Greenland? All that bluster about Harris starting WW3 and he’s speedrunning it.

  13. We have already crossed that line. Even if you think that Maduro is guilty of the things he’s accused of, literally kidnapping a leader of a government, even one we don’t recognize, out of his bed must be a step too far. Its not like Iraq where there was a new government in place before we found Saddam. Maduro’s government still says he’s the rightful leader. Because where does it stop? Do we grab the Prime Minster of Denmark until she agrees to turn over Greenland? Mexico’s President until she agrees to let us carpet bomb the northern states to go after the cartels? And conversely, then you would have to be okay with a foreign country hitting Mar-a-Lago and killing USSS agents to try to grab Trump to try him for any crimes they feel have been committed against them.

  14. Going to be? We just kidnapped the head of state through a military action which killed a lot of people.

    72 percent of US show their whole ass and how stupid ignorant they are thinking this isn’t already too involved.

    Raise your hand if you think the US is already too involved in Venezuela (and Donald Trump is a knob)?

    Cage fight in front of the White House. Maduro vs. Trump. Winner goes free loser goes to the clink.

  18. That’s huge negatively and no where near the support for the run up to the Iraq war in 2003. They deploy US troops and we start to take casualties & it dips even further.

    Trump can spout whatever nonsensical drivel and lies he wants but that doesn’t remotely make it so. It’s also useless to pay attention to Hegseth too.

    Rubio is leading policy on this issue and the person to actually give some merit to what is going on.

    This whole thing reminds of the sycophants and liars around Putin prior to the invasion of Ukraine. He assumed the decapitation special forces strike in Kiev would crush Ukraine’s leadership and they wouldn’t encounter serious and sustained resistance. Why they didn’t mass large formations and strategically focus.

    Trump just seems to magically think that things will happen because he decrees it. Like it won’t take hundreds of billions and years and years to begin to get oil production back to former levels in the 90s, transport it, and refine in the U.S. Nevermind about security and personnel to do it.

    It’s been that way his entire life and whatever he actually runs ends in disaster. This will be no different.
