What percentage of Dems do you think would be upset if a foreign nation had a spec on mission to arrest trump?


Probably very few because they have no principles, what's your point?


That whether or not someone cheers should be irrelevant. We got rid of a narco terrorist that negatively impacts our people.

Someone else posted that he has charges against him in Argentina so we could dump him there if he somehow got acquitted. Or just turn him back to the Venezuelan people and let them handle it Mussolini style.

I think we should work cooperatively with Argentina. We supply the helicopter, and they provide the sea and the altitude. Milei and Trump get along delightfully well; I think the two countries can work together and make it happen. SI SE PUEDE!!!

I don't believe for a minute that either one of these propaganda organizations would do the right thing if they could embarrass Trump somehow instead. More likely they just couldn't get their contacts to answer the phone after midnight on a holiday weekend.

This is who is putting on the protest in NYC. Its totally astroturf, done by an activist organization who will fund and protest for any leftist cause.

That's why they already printed up signs and whatnot

I just think it's hilarious that after all of Maduro's bluster about raising 3 million men to fight for him, just about no one stood up for him when it came down to it.

They don't have the death penalty there per google search, Of course, accidents can happen anywhere no matter how careful you try to be...

It's pretty fair to be cautious and critical of bombing campaigns. Hell we are still in Syria after a decade with zero real reasons. No objectives. No off ramps etc.

It's also very clear what took place last night is not the endless bombing campaigns weve seen in tbe past.

Not all military action is the same. So Tucker could be right and this operation still be a positive.

It's sad to me seemingly most people can only think in binary terms.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Lara Trump's show

Quote:
Lara: Expand on your thought process there, and any people out there who might be critical of Operation Absolute Resolve.

Dan: Look no further than the reaction of just about every Venezuelan around the world. I know many…..there are so many Venezuelans in the Houston area, and I can't, I've never ever met one who doesn't immediately tell us that we need to do more to get rid of Maduro so they can go back home.

And I would say this to my Democrat colleagues…..you can't have these two thoughts in your head at the same time:
You can't be angry if say President Trump wanted to get rid of the temporary protected status for Venezuelan immigrants, and you can't say oh well we want to take care of the root problems that cause illegal immigration…… and then be also mad when you take care of the root problems of illegal immigration like a communist dictator that destroyed his country and made everyone flee.

You know they can't have both of those thoughts in their head, but then again they don't have a lot of thoughts in their head to begin with.

If we do call this "a new war" would it mean that trump won the quickest war in history?

I think he would be okay with that if he could add it to his resume.

If true, I give the media props, not something I've done much the last 10 years. Seems like they did the right thing this time.

As for the leakers, they should be found out and dealt with.

Grok says the DOD estimate is 110-115k post-1945, with about 95k of those in Korea and Vietnam.

  • Korean War (19501953): ~36,574 total deaths
  • Vietnam War (19551975): ~58,220 total deaths
  • Post-Vietnam Interventions (e.g., Beirut 19821984, Grenada 1983, Panama 1989, Somalia 19921993, etc.): ~5001,000 combined.
  • Gulf War (19901991): ~382 total deaths
  • Post-9/11 Wars (Afghanistan/Operation Enduring Freedom/Freedom's Sentinel, Iraq/Operation Iraqi Freedom/New Dawn/Inherent Resolve, and related): ~7,0007,100 total deaths (as of early 2026).

    This was absolutely an act of war. And it was a GOOD thing. The only reason people are fighting this obvious claim is Trump idiotically ran on the "no new wars" promise. That was a dumb promise for him to make. It's like promising "no new natural disasters".

    And even if Maduro was duly elected, it wouldn't matter. He could have 100% of the vote, but by actively working to kill millions of Americans, he deserved to die. If he had more support among his people, then it's likely that more Venezuelan's would have had to die for us to achieve the goal of protecting America. The fact that almost nobody supported him made our job easier and saved many Venzuelan lives.

    That being said, I'm against his trial. He should be a smoking hole in the ground. There is now a chance that he gets acquitted. We should have made sure that would have never been a possibility.

    Where did he say no new wars?

    And this is hardly a war. There was a $50 million bounty on Maduro's head.





    (And again.. I'm SUPPORT HIM HERE. Just stop with the "it's not an act of war" nonsense.)

    It may not be what we all want the US to continue being, but it's also not necessarily wrong.



    "The America we know exists as the world superpower - the police of the world. Everything we know exists because of the international order established by the US. If the US loses that status, it won't revert back to Europe, with its similar culture and ethics and morals. The international order will be shaped by China and Russia. That's not a world anyone wants to live in."

    • That's what I get for trusting Google. But in my defence, 110k is "over" 72k.
