Looks like Trumps launched a special military operation in Venezuela 

There’s something unreal about it, like it’s so completely bizarre that no one really knows what to say or do about it.

 

Have to say I know very little about Venezuela, Maduro or anything about it.

That Venezuela has a lot of oil is telling so they might be due some ‘freedom’ very soon.

Nutshell I reckon Mick.

America finding a reason to bomb Venezuela was predicted a good 10 years ago

Possibly just after a regime change to a more pliant government for their purposes.

Stole the election, ran insane amounts of drugs to the USA, ran the country into the ground, supported Russian actions in Ukraine. The Biden administration said as much prior to Trump being re elected. 
The rights and wrongs of it  and whats actually taken place, who knows yet  🤷‍♂️. TDS sufferers will be outraged to a point where all capacity for rational thought is lost, that’s a given.

Trump knows he can only win against a much weaker foe - hence his cowering stance against Russia and China. If China makes its move against Taiwan Trump can make the Taiwanese a deal every bit as good as the one for Ukraine.

It is all about the oil. Maduro has refused to bow down to Trump, so the peaceful president is getting pissy, and attacking.

 

 

Maduro is no better or no worse than many in the world, just he has a lot of oil that their sanctions mean cannot be sold to the US, regime change, lift sanctions, US gets a load of cheap oil which might save Trumps financial plans. He hasn't threatened the US.... so all about the oil

TDS and capacity for rational thought 🤔

Maduro is no better or worse 😂😂ok then I guess that makes it totally fine. Bit like those innocent fishermen with triple or quadruple 300hp outboards haring across the Caribbean with no nets or fishing gear, but boats loaded with bales of ???????

The US president says Maduro and his wife have been "flown out of the country", as Venezuela declares a national emergency.

Funny way to spell 'kidnapped'.
