So, how exactly is the US controlling Venezuela without a ground presence? Smart phones? Video conference?
What did Trump mean by stating that if Delcy Rodriguez (old vice president - now president) does not follow his orders, her fate will be worse than Maduro's? Is he going to have her killed?
What American oil company personnel is planning to go to Venezuela when they would most likely be killed or kidnapped?
The US needs to have a contingent of American military and civilian personnel on the ground in Caracas and other locations.
How does Trump plan to enforce any new rules? I'm thinking this US presence will stay for years. A lot of money to be made from Venezuelan oil.
I guess Putin's invasion of Ukraine does not look so bad now, and he has only taken 20% of the country.
Many masked men on video around the palace where the current leader is at in Venezuela, also apparent fighter jets being scrambled and black outs in Caracas. Your guess is as good as mine, but it isn't good.
Yeah, it was likely his VP and Generals. I mean, the US has already claimed to have been in contact with her, where she agreed to "do what they want her to". If she wasn't in on it, she'd be dead or captured all the same. All of her chest thumping right now, is just theater for the base.
Miller saying this on TV, he must be pretty confident. This type of statement also seems to imply they have at least one insider turncoat,
Makes sense also with what Trump said in the original press conference, basically run things via turn coats as they set up some type of election or interim government to implement an election
White men proud boys time to put your boots on and go to war!!! It's what you voted for time to get your f'king asses out there to fight fight fight. Don't be a coward like draft dodging bone spurs. Unless you're from a family of billionaires. No DEI no blacks, Asian, Hispanic men. It's what you voted for now get to it body bags don't fill themselves.
Depends on the countries involved. I don't give a shit about Venezuela. I take pleasure in anything that hurts Russia or China. Call me back when Trump fucks over a country that actually matters.
Some nations are more powerful than others, and will use their strength to take what they want by force. It's been that way since one tribe of Neanderthals slaughtered another and stole their women and food.
Might makes right. It always has and it always will. Anyone who tells you different is selling something.
China just lost an ally in Murado. Russia murders people with chemical and radiological weapons in in the UK; they don't give a fuck about justification.
Soft power only works when it's backed up by a very big stick, as your GOAT POTUS pointed out.
You'll cry about anything the Bad Orange Man does, I guess.

Just embrace that you're a neocon after all and were just full of shit the past ten years
You clearly don't even understand what softpower is lol , softpower is how you and your ilk dragged the rest of the world into Iraq and Afghanistan based on absolute bullshit, not dissimilar to the bullshit used to try and excuse this cluster fuck
This is about rich people getting richer,they aren't even hiding it this time (they're to inept to even do that ) they count on dupes like you to run cover for them .
He doesn't even seem to know the basics about American history. He didn't know France actually funded and fought a whole war to literally create America.
But disregard all that because multiple predators on lists told him "libs & French bad."
Now add a right wing grifter that openly advocated for young boys to get sexually abused by grown men.
"BuT dA FrEncH r baD"
What an unhinged weirdo with no concept or barometer of good & evil.
Lol no thanks. I dont get my foriegn policy from the cowardly kid who eats paste & shoves crayons up his nose. Lol at you censoring yourself, perfectly beta of you. Very on brand.
Sheesh, you gotta be French to get so offended over Milo and my mockery over their gay president bitching about not being significant enough to be informed about something that doesn't involve him.
Yet another example of why no one respects the French.
Pathetic leadership.
I'll guess it might be +18 months..
I mean we need them nice oil companies to get in there first and do their thing.

"– We have to fix the country first. There is no way to have elections. There is not even a way for people to vote, he says.
He adds that the United States may subsidize an attempt by oil companies to build the country's energy infrastructure, which he estimates can be done within 18 months.
Furthermore, the president says that the United States is not at war with Venezuela, but with "people who sell drugs and empty their prisons, addicts and mental hospitals in our countries".
Trump's inner circle – Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller – direct the US involvement in Venezuela, but ultimately it is Trump himself who decides, he says."
Hmmm. Reading is not your strength.
You sound upset or jealous that you dont have one.
Your cope has devolved into weird trans fantasies, randomly accusing Americans of being French, & pushing propaganda from advocates of unspeakable crimes against children.
That will for sure own the libs through crashing out.
No there won’t be another Teddy. If there were another Teddy today, the right would label him a soy boy communist and ask him what his name was before he transitioned
TR was already castigated as a socialist by Republicans in his own era, scorned as a "wild-eyed revolutionist" by the bankers on Wall Street, and dubbed a traitor to his class by the railroad tycoon E.H Harriman. That's what happens when you get into office and order the Department of Justice to launch over three dozen anti-trust lawsuits that break up monopolies controlled by the likes of J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller; when you enact the first consumer protection and campaign finance laws in American history; when you flip federal policy on its head from land disposal to retention, from wanton exploitation of natural resources to conservationist stewardship, from private control to public ownership.
When you double the number of national parks, declare the first 18 national monuments, create the first 55 national wildlife refuges, establish and/or enlarge 150 national forests in the form of over 230 million acres (!!!) as a gift to the American people. We still have them today. He received hundreds of thousands of letters from ordinary US citizens pleading him to protect their favorite landscapes. And that's only half the story: TR was the founder of the world's first conservation organization (Boone and Crockett Club) in 1887, nearly 15 years before he even became POTUS. It was the driving force working behind the scenes to establish the laws and federal statutes giving the President unilateral power to declare forest reserves and national monuments; that established legal definitions for what a national park is and provided for their law enforcement; that brought an end to the commercial market hunting decimating wildlife to the brink of extinction.
His father had been a major backer for the northern cause in the Civil War and charter member of the Union League Club, bankrolled multiple hospitals and children's aid societies across New York, was a principal co-founder and director for two of the world's most venerable cultural institutions: the Metropolitan Museum of Art and American Museum of Natural History. The charter for AMNH was literally signed inside TR's childhood home. For all the talk about corporate and political elites, the wars they start and sacrifices they don't have to make: Who do people figure is the only President in U.S. history to have a son (Quentin) killed in combat? Yup. The other three also all served, in both World Wars. One of them (Ted) was the oldest man and only general to take part in the first wave on D-Day (TR's grandson was there too). Another (Archie) had his knee blown out in World War I, only to re-enlist for World War II and take another grenade to his legs. Kermit -- who had accompanied him on major scientific expeditions to East Africa and Brazil (@LeonardoBjj) for the Smithsonian and AMNH -- committed suicide on a US Army base in 1943.
True Story. Talk about contributions, service, and sacrifice. It's genuinely fucking mind-boggling. All that to say if this man and his family don't constitute the greatest credit to the history of our nation, they are god damn close. When @Takes Two To Tango invariably starts up a poll later this year on the Greatest Americans of All-Time as 250 approaches, somebody please @ tag me to go to War.

All your posts are :
1st - Meaningless insults based off your imagination of those who disagree with you.
2nd - Bizarre shit completely unrelated to my post or the thread. Pathetic attempt to derail the thread because you know you have nothing related to facts and logic to your arguments.
Go ahead, post again and prove me correct... Or incorrect for the first time in your entire history in the WR.
Violence/Genocide: Do not condone violence or genocide on a person or group of people. You are free to attack a person or groups ideas but you are crossing the line when calling for violence. This will be heavily enforced in threads with breaking news involving victims.
