Going to bed now. But I'm going to wake up to news that the US struck an oil deal with other Venezuelan politicians. they gift-wrapped Maduro and his wife for the SEALS to pick up, and now Trump's sons, the CIA and CBP have full control over the cocaine trafficking routes all the way into US cities.

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

While the Senate is asking Trump why they started a war to kidnap a foreign leader perhaps they might also ask why Trump freed a former foreign leader convicted of the same kind of crimes.

A good reminder of how major media outlets inflated and outright lied about the famous toppling of the Saddam statue in Firdos Square in 2004, which was a carefully stage-managed propaganda operation conducted by the U.S. military.

He says we should have toppled Venezuela and taken the oil, which is terrible, terrible oil and will pollute the hell out of us.

The US struck Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro, who was taken out of the country, President Trump said. It is the first such direct intervention by the US in Latin America since the invasion of Panama in 1989 reut.rs/4qsMC72

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

Im seeing discussions about consultations with congress, authorizations of force etc. I have to say this transcends any of what I would call sub constitutional technicalities. The president has gone to war with a foreign power and, it seems, kidnapped a foreign head of state on the basis of nothing.

I don't want to be yelled at today because I've already been yelled at this week on here so I'll just ignore all of the 'that's unconstitutional' remarks and go to bed. Solidarity with the people of Venezuela against US imperialism.

I think the rapid capture of Maduro bodes very poorly for American democracy and the world. All questions of legality will be swept aside, and it will be treated as vindication for further military adventures
If this was as quick and bloodless as it seems, why not solve all their problems this way?

"Venezuela has become the Trump regime’s comfort atrocity. Any time Donald doesn’t like what’s on the TV, he blows up another boat filled with civilians. And it’s only a matter of time before it gets even worse. Possibly far worse. Possibly very fast."
This is interesting. Watched the CEO of Chevron, the one US oil company still in Venezuela, talk last month about how Venezuela has more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia.
I know several oil barons, I’ve had the oil and gas industry as clients in a past life: none of them want the Venezuelan oil, it’s dog shit quality and getting the PDVSA fields up to modern standards would take 20 years! It’s just trump being stuck in 1987
