Explain why when you make dumb statements

It isn't a dumb statement. Central and South American has generally had a good relationship with the U.S. due to trade and the Monroe policy, whereby they were protected from European colonizers. Stirring the pot like this will no only hinder trade and outsourced manufacturing. It will lead to the foreign policy to be more working against the U.S. rather than with the U.S.. Is it better that he is no longer president? Yes but the blowback is not worth the squeeze. The U.S. cannot just go around the world topple dictators, presidents, and countries for reasons unrelated to national security.

This was an act of war

I don't think the people of Venezuela view it as war, they are celebrating that their used car salesman in a cheap suit cartel aligned dictator was removed.

 

[RemyR]

Knowing Trump he kidnapped Maduro to accuse him of Narco-Terrorism just so he can pardon him like he did that Honduras ex-President Juan Orlando Hernandez.

M. Night Shyamalan approved

Americans are literally being told to shelter in place in Venezuela. You don't know this?

I don't hate the USA or Americans at all, but some of you... some of you are doing some pretty fucking stupid things right now. If you feel hated, that says more about you than me. You do know that America creates its own enemies, right?

I’m shocked Americans in a country where we just stole their leader are warned to be careful this is in a country that has had no US
embassy since 19 and strong advisement to not travel there and the Venezuelan government is very hesitant to give visas to Americans.

I don’t feel hated you said we are hated and don’t think anything catastrophic will happen as a consequence of this military action. As far as ordinary citizens traveling, no effect. I travel often and no one cares man, they just don’t. Didn’t care after Assad, Ghadaffi, all of Iraq. Maybe some college kid talked shit but no one cared.

I just don’t think the repercussions you maybe want to happen will. You seem like you’d enjoy reading Americans get assaulted in your country which is kind of morbid.

Edit you never said that, just being a dick there you can ignore that sherbro from another country.

Well I gotta say maybe you’re right… some African countries have banned US travel, Niger amongst them. So, that’s not nothing… maybe there will be more actions like that.

No wars they said

The fine print clearly states ‘if you don’t fuck with me….MAGA’

Chandler vs Maduro!

Maduro 49-46 via huge reach jabfest.

 

[idrankyourbeer]

Apparently there is some support for this action in Venezuela. Maduro could have stopped this entire thing by simply complying with the fentanyl stuff. He aligned himself with cartels, as well as other world dictators and the result is a visit from U.S. special forces.

you fell for it again

and what fentanyl stuff? wasn't it supposed to be cocaine? whoever is feeding you your talking poiints sure can't seem to get their propaganda straight.

 

[YourBoss]

Oh no!

A socialist dictator has been stripped of his ability to enslave millions of people and starve them to death. What terrible news. Leftist beta cucks are going crazy.

The Dems have been wanting this for YEARS tho but lacked the conviction to do anything about it. I’m predicting not much complaint from that side of the fence

That’s Venezuelans celebrating a soccer win from a couple years ago you gullible idiot

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

It has not even been 3 days into the new year and the president kidnapped a leader of another nation we are not formally at war with after ordering bombing runs. What in the actual fuck is going on?

The juice was never worth the squeeze. Now, it happened because Trump does like the news perpetually talking about how him and his friends are portrayed as child molesters in the Epstein FIles. It is pure wag the dog. Just like when Trump tried to start a war with Iran by killing a high ranking Iranian general. If it wasn't Venezuela, it would be something else to flood the news sources with something other than a slow leak of evidence of a super wealthy client child molestation ring.

 

[Tabarnakos]

This was an act of war

An act of war yes. I mean you cannot go more act of war than bombing the shit out of somebody. That is pretty clear.

But it's not a war in the sense that , unless some major plot twist happens, there won't be 2 militaries going at each other in an open conventional conflict like say Russia-Ukraine. This was a textbook decapitation strike

 

[Damien Karras]

And how long has the US been doing this?

This is the first time in USA history that a head of state has been arrested and deposed without international or Congressional approval. This is uncharted territory.

 

[HereticBD]

That’s Venezuelans celebrating a soccer win from a couple years ago you gullible idiot

Regardless, do you think a whole bunch of them aren't absolutely thrilled that this brutal dictator just his nuts cut off? I mean, come on. You guys aren't about to start simping for fucking Maduro, are ya?

 

[MusterX]

Its been fentanyl for a while. All Maduro had to do was not thumb his nose at the toughest guy in the bar. He's an idiot drug lord and dictator.

America hasn't openly declared war since World War 2. Doesn't mean they haven't been at war.

 

[Siver!]

President Red AKA War Hawk Donny doing what dumb Americans always do.

Depose foreign leaders with no plan, worsening everything for everyone.

But hey, at least they can now push for access to someone else's oil after they committed the "crime" of nationalising their interests.

An absolute crock of shit, luckily plenty if lobotomised MAGA morons will support it because Maduro Bad.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

I want to joke about how the Nobel Committee sure has egg on its face, but the fact is this piece of shit psychopath has destroyed our country.
He and his entire administration, as well as every GOP elected official who hasn't steadily stood up against this regime needs to be behind bars.

Special Military Operation..

Bombing military installations, sending in your military (a special ops operation) to arrest and depose their head of state, is an act of war.
