  1. Why the fk did Congress declare war on Venezuela?

    Oh, wait…

  2. Yeah, Venezuela made a serious mistake in geopolitics.

    They have the world’s largest reserves of oil… but not nukes.

    So it’s just a matter of time, for them.

  3. Paying argentina and going to war with Venezuela.

    Republicans are not the party of small government, since Gingrich, the republicans have fallen so far. Maybe even before.

  6. Well on the plus side, we Americans have no food or health care.

  7. And Trump DIDN’T win the Nobel Peace prize, you say?

    I wonder why? Total mystery.

  8. “sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald”. This is some wild information security incompetence, if true.

    Coming from Trump, such a leak would be almost expected, but it’s not the case (this time)

  11. When the dictator in chief so badly wants to copy his idol Putin

  13. Just what we need another Afghanistan or how to keep the military busy for the next 20 years.

  14. The “no new wars” Republicans just starting more wars to blame on Democrats.

  15. He wasn’t allowed to invade Canada or Greenland, so he picked somewhere that can’t fight back.

  16. Ideological wars on their way on behalf of the oligarchs running our country – because sanctioning wasn’t enough for them; with loyalist idiots in charge to ensure we lose or it gets sloppy. Let’s look the other way about Trump’s “friends” in Saudi Arabia, Qatr, UAE, and even Trump’s clear authoritarian actions, – Venezuela is the “real” dictator.

  17. „US to strike military targets“ sounds so much more harmless than „US is starting a war“. Have US citizens normalized that badly that it is okay to drop bombs on other countries?

  18. Anything to distract from RELEASING THE UN-REDACTED EPSTEIN FILES, including but not limited to starting a fabricated war.

  20. I’m Venezuelan-American (and a liberal, not MAGA before you @ me).

    It’s pressuring Maduro to accept last year’s elections. He lost to Edmundo/Maria Corina 70% to 30% and because he’s a narco terrorist him and his cronies went “nope” and used violence to suppress protests and keep a chokehold on the country.

    Fellow Americans don’t understand that Maduro and his cronies are a mix of Narco Cartels + ISIS. They use violence to suppress ANY protest or riot, and when I mean violence I mean they shoot to kill hundreds and those wounded are sent to the biggest torture dungeon in our hemisphere (Helicoide) that makes Guantanamo look like Disneyland where they and their families are tortured.

    American media calls it “regime change” when Edmundo has been democratically elected, American media makes it sound like we want American help to install another dictator and that’s not the case.

    “But but Maria Corina sucked up to Trump!!!” Yes. The same way Zelensky also sucked up to Trump. We need American help and we all know we have to suck it up to the orange child.

    “But there’ll be dead Venezuelans!! Turn Venezuela into Irak or Afghanistan!!!!” Today Maduro has been killing Venezuelans by the thousands AND 9 million of us have sought refugee all over the world in the biggest refugee crisis of the modern age. Bigger than Syria or Ukraine. Oh and Venezuela was the most stable democracy in Latin America in the XX century so no we are not Irak or Afghanistan. Look at Panama and Noriega for a better perspective.

    “But we don’t want an American invasion!!” There won’t. You’re thinking of invasions of old. In this modern age Venezuelans want the USA to pull a Soleimani on the heads of the cartel with precision strikes. No American boots on the ground are needed.

    “But but it’s all to steal your oil!!!” What oil? We are barely producing any and the little we do is sent to Cuba for free and to China to pay for weapons and surveillance of equipment. At least the Americans paid market price with hard currency. Currency we used to pay for infrastructure and the like.

    “But Trump isn’t doing this out of the goodness of his heart!” Yeah we know. He wants a war to increase his popularity and to shut down the while Epstein and the economy fiasco. At least this’ll do some good.

    Feel free to ask me any Qs

  22. It’s unbelievable the USA as a whole has learned precisely fuckall from the GWOT.

  23. Meanwhile, Maduro has been keeping his head down as much as his dictatorial ass can specifically to avoid giving Trump a reason. Unfortunately, Trump’s all-in on the whole “provoke a war to consolidate power” plan.

  24. At least we’re not talking about the Epstein files right?

  26. The Trump regime is attacking the Maduro regime in Venezuela

  27. Americans will be like “I disagree with Trump’s method but I still support invading this country to do regime change”

  28. So do they just skip past the lying about weapons of mass destruction part? USA can just start a war with anyone based on unqualified Hegseth’s gut feeling? WTF is going on in the US military.

  29. Stop the wag the dog shit and release the un-redacted Epstein files.

  30. Of course Trump is dying to start his own war ….especially since he lost out on a Nobel Peace prize….the peace accord in the Middle East is going so well for him time for a new distraction

  31. Oh look, the peace president is at it again. Such tremendous peace. Peace like no one has ever seen before.

  32. “Regime” is generally the CIAs word for “democratically elected but not a puppet of the US” and it’s poven yet again here.

    Couping didn’t work, so now it will escalate to war, same as US has always done.

  33. Wait so we’re just doing this now? We’re just straight up going to ~~war~~ uhhhh “conflict” with Venezuela for no apparent reason and with no particular declaration from Congress or anything? Mmmkay.

  35. here we go again another military intervention that definitely wont have any long term consequences or blowback

  36. The last 4 major wars the US started cost the US TRILLIONS that have never been paid back. This will be no different except the debt is starting it’s exponential climb. Up $2T just this year alone.

    The empire collapse is within view.

  37. Not that Maduro doesn’t suck but why do we have such a hard on for Venezuela?

  38. Check out the amount of oil Venezuela has. And think back to Iraq. He’s trying to instigate reason to steal oil.

  39. Not a surprise at all. You don’t move a carrier group over to kill a couple of drug dealers lol.

    Orange Diddler’s fascist regime is very dangerous. Trump will invade and have many thousands killed just to avoid the embarrassement of his involvement with the child sex trafficking ring, and to curtail Americans’ rights further. It will be a perpetual emergency state of war.

  40. Alright Gen Z male meme lords that voted him in for lolz, enjoy your free ticket to the jungles of Venezuela

  42. The president of peace is going to declare war in a few years. Then he doesn’t have to have an election…

  43. As an American, I have a question. Fucking why? No one wants this.

  45. Step 1: Destabilize S. American country
    Step 2: Complain about immigration from those countries after destroying local government and economy
    Step 3: Destabilize S. American country

  47. And congress is sitting on its collective hands and brains…

  48. So the US is priming to wage another war. Wonder how the industrial media is going to portray the US’s moral superiority to sell this. Oh wait…
