This is another major point from today.

If you claim is the usa has nothing to stand on because of a violation of international laws and cannot do what's necessary because of said laws, you are handicapping the "good" forces to deal with the "evil" ones.

China, russia, Venezuela, iran etal dont care two ****s about international law and will do whatever they please. The only enforcer of international law is based on primarily how the usa chooses to respond. We are its guarantor, no one else.

Yeah Maduro refused to step down after he lost the election, so the UN can kindly step aside.
The left cannot kill the Spirit of Charlie Kirk.

I think they probably would like to, if the chavez/Maduro regime is actually ended. Venezuela, prior to those clowns, was incredibly wealthy and prosperous.

This moment might be absolutely huge if whatever new leader there absolutely bypass leftism.

Happy that he's gone and that there is now hope for the future, but cautious about the long-term unintended consequences that can come from this sort of thing.

this is such tripe.

really?

what "possible long term consequences"

are WORSE than having a literal communist military dictator who is allied with Russia, Hizbullah, Iran and Cuba running drugs into the USA?!?!

Yes it was. And have to wonder how much Chavez interfered with elections? Until he just ignored them?

Like the old Saddam days when polls closed and the result with Saddam winning 97% of the vote being reported within 90 minutes after.

Remember the last time we invaded a country because of its evil leader and attempted to take control of the region and its oil? How well did that end up for us?


This time won't be as hard. Hopefully we learned our lesson. Instead of firing all the men and pissing them, keep everybody employed and keep paying them. In Iraq we dismantled the government, and gave it to the opposition in a country full of opposing factions. Venezuela doesn't have that.


Won't be as hard? What makes you think that? He has not stopped a single war. Isreal is still bombing Gaza and Russia is still attacking Ukraine.

We are not in control of the country like we were in Iraq. Our money belongs here in America.

Rossticus said:
Le Pen turned out to be sort of a wet weenie. Continues to surprise me how many on the right cite the sovereignty of an illegitimate government opposed by its people.



"There were a thousand reasons to condemn the regime of Nicols Maduro: communist, oligarchic, and authoritarian, it had imposed on its people, for far too many years, a suffocating yoke that plunged millions of Venezuelans into miserywhen it did not force them into exile.

But there is one fundamental reason to oppose the regime change that the United States has just brought about in Venezuela. The sovereignty of states is never negotiable, regardless of their size, their power, or their continent. It is inviolable and sacred.

To renounce this principle today for Venezuela, for any state, would be to accept our own enslavement tomorrow. It would thus be a mortal peril, at a time when the 21st century is already the stage for major geopolitical upheavals that cast over humanity the constant threat of war and chaos.

All that remains for us is to hope, in the face of this situation, that a voice be given as soon as possible to the Venezuelan people. It is for them to reclaim the power to define, sovereignly and freely, the future they wish to forge as a Nation."




Hmm. France and England striking a foreign, sovereign nation.

Have they declared war?

Jesus, dude. I am thrilled that he is gone and that they will have the opportunity that they otherwise would not have had to take back their country. His removal is completely justified. There was no hope as long as his regime was in power. But many in Venezuela today are thinking "awesome! But what's next..." and I feel the same way. Happy, but with an eye on "how is this going to turn out?" Maybe it returns to a well-functioning democracy. Maybe it descends into absolute chaos that is somehow worse (for the people there) than before. Could be many possibilities. This isn't an apples to apples comparison, but an example was the capture of El Chapo. Terrible dude. Needed to be captured. Have to get rid of these people. He gets captured...and then the cartel violence was 100x worse. Good intentions, but maybe not the outcome we hoped for.

Chavez generally had enough support to get him by because he was much better at being a socialist than Maduro. Their country was declining but tons more citizens were getting govt money and aid. He also knew how to speak to the hearts of the people.

Maduro possesses none of those skills. Don't get me wrong, Chavez was bad and started the downward trajectory but **** hit the fan truly after Maduro took over.

I don't know if people in the west truly understand how bad the crisis in Venezuela was and is. We cannot comprehend 120+M people closing up and leaving here forever, taking what they can and saying goodbye to what and who they couldn't. This would include your family members, friends, colleagues, everyone.

And then those of us who stay basically deal with limited electricity, food, commerce, and just get by day to day while the elite on the govt's teat parties in the capital. But hey, you get cheap beer every once in a while to keep you happy.

That's the reality over there.

It's a shame we don't have a national oil company like Aramco where your math makes sense. Instead Chevron, Exxon, and Shell will make those trillions.

My coworker is here on an asylum visa from Venezuela. Him, his wife, and son were all born there.

He's ecstatic about it. His only concern is the impending humanitarian crisis if this results in killings and starvation, but his words were "I guess that's the price we need to pay to be free after 25 years."

So I'll take the feelings and words of a person directly impacted by Maduro and his regime, over the bleeding-heart, hypocritical, virtue-signaling libs with TDS.

Congress pulling their bull**** about it being unconstitutional. He didn't tell the Democrats because they would've warned Venezuela and Madero and endangered our troops. They're that ****ing evil.


They have progressed to party/team/resist-Donald-Trump-at-all-costs over country.

They would applaud China invading America if they could gloat over Donald Trump.

They are hive-mind/Borg now.

They cannot be saved.

Let me get this straight...do you think there are men named Mr. Exxon and Mr. Chevron walking around with eye pieces and top hats?

We own Exxon. We own Chevron. Your neighbors, Your co workers, your retirement plans, etc.

honestly the most baffling part of the venezuela saga is that the actual reason we did it (removing an ally of russia/iran/china from the americas) is both the most obvious and palatable reason, and yet the one the administration least wanted to admit.

instead we got months of "idk… drugs? vengeance for exxon?"


I grant you they haven't leaned on the real reasoning in public comments as much as they should, but it's right there in our DOW Strategic Doctrine that was released several months ago. Anyone looking beyond surface level one liners knows why we did this.
