War Trump says Venezuela's Maduro captured after strikes - The U.S. has accused Maduro of running a "narco-state" and rigging an election.

WASHINGTON, Jan 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. has struck Venezuela and captured its President Nicolas Maduro, who has been taken out of the country, President Donald Trump said on Saturday.

The U.S. has not made such a direct intervention in Latin America since the invasion of Panama in 1989 to depose military leader Manuel Noriega.

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country," Trump said in a Truth Social post.

There was no immediate confirmation from the Venezuelan government.

The U.S. has accused Maduro of running a "narco-state" and rigging an election. The Venezuelan leader, who succeeded Hugo Chavez to take power in 2013, has said Washington wants to take control of its oil reserves, the largest in the world.

it seems extreme, but the again I dont particularly pay attention to Venezuelan happenings. what did they do to warrant this? other than maduro being a faggot who sings Lennon, I mean.

We've always been at war with Venezuela. Don't concern yourself too much, comrade. Now, join me in the bread line. I've heard it's only $7 a loaf, today.

For me it's the fact that there are people who support this for no other reason than it's happening under Trump. If the same thing was happening under Biden they'd be screaming bloody murder and (rightly) calling him a warmonger. It's as if something becomes right and moral for them by virtue of Trump doing it, like divine command theory except instead of God it's a former reality TV star.

The Democrats would have droned striked him and the media would have ignored it.

This is a good think as it's people the world not to fuck with America. When America is gay like you the world is a far less safe place. Everyone cries about the neo-con Bush era but if you asked me if I would rather time travel back and live back then or to continue in this failing neo-liberal hellscape I'd tell you to fire up the time machine.

Remind Europeans of this when they forget that America is capable of just striking Iran with gigantic bombs, and exfiltrating foreign presidents with absolutely zero retaliation.
We literally rule the world.

The same thing would never happen under Biden because Biden would never do it.

it's a former reality TV star.

If you are going to label him you have to label him for something bigger than that. Imagine labeling Ozzy Osbourne as a ‘former reality TV star’. That’s just lying.

I hope this drives the point home for Europe and the whole rest of the damned world - America is just another rogue imperialist state like Russia or North Korea and it should be treated as such. This unprovoked war of conquest is just the beginning. America will continue to wage war against South America. The remedy is a strong chain of alliances, first among South American countries and then in the EU - South America - China chain. America can be isolated, the oceans work both ways. This is to be coupled by immense military buildup and coordination. The future, paradoxically, revolves not around concerns about China but about America. It is a criminal state. Nothing more, nothing less.

I hope the rest of the South understands this and starts arming themselves with Chinese and European weaponry and forms a military alliance, single states won't be able to fight efficiently. They need their own NATO with the direct purpose of fighting America. Canada and Greenland are also on the chopping block, so Canada needs to get its military in order. My guess is the deranged American beast will set its eyes on Cuba next.

Wait, so explain to me why Trump supporters were insisting he was a pro-peace candidate who wouldn't entangle America in foreign conflicts? Was that a lie? Because I'm starting to suspect it might be.

 

[Sans Floyd]

Damn I wonder how many are actually dead in this situation. I seen there were multiple strikes but what was the full extent? What's the line of power for them? Now that we fucking kidnapped there president?

0 (American) Deaths my nigga

Because they are retards who treat politics like a team sport and no better than rabid blue haired Dem voters from an intellectual standpoint?

If it takes a personality cult to stop American from being a shoe gazing floppy haired fag and go out and kick some arse then I am all for it.

Peace through strength, maybe. Anybody who thought Trump wasn't capable of this wasn't paying attention when he took out Soleimani.

 

[“Token” the Neigermiester]

I hope to God that picture of Maduro's capture is real. It's unconfirmed at the moment.

 

[sodomy lifestyle]

Perhaps not the pro-peace ticket Trump marketed himself as, but destruction of communism is always a humanitarian act. It's still unclear to me whether Trump aims to flip the Venezuelan government, or just intimidate the current administration into concessions. I just hope he does the same to Cuba, that shithole is just a chink listening post these days anyway.

More like, they need to capture every single Fabianite, and completely dismantle them.

It's open heart surgery for the UK if they want to turn things around.

Imagine telling someone 15 years ago that the host of “The Apprentice” would eventually be in his second presidential term at the age of 79, would be involved in a sudden bombing and kidnapping of a foreign leader, and would have tens of millions of cult followers who completely reverse their opinion on everything because “Trump did it so it is great”.
