If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

guys i'm not gonna lie but it will be so absurdly funny if the outcome of this is that the exact same regime, now lacking only the guy in charge, now has american support against the opposition
There is…so much going on here, but an all time “raises questions” is what stands out the most.

(Bloomberg) -- Delcy Rodríguez, vice president of
Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro before his capture by US forces Saturday, has been sworn in as president and will work with the US to transition to a democratically elected government, President Donald Trump said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio had a lengthy conversation with Rodríguez and she has agreed to help, Trump said in a news conference in Palm Beach, Florida. "She's essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again, very simple," he said.
The choice of Rodríguez as a partner would help the US ease a transition by maintaining the current institutions in Venezuela. But her long allegiance to Maduro, who is widely viewed as having stolen last year's election, is likely to raise questions about whether the US is seriously committed to regime change in the South American nation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreiauhh73nuzd7bamli3yvfjdtne4fxg5bv5bmru6krfwbluzpskyye@jpeg)

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.

It doesn’t matter whether or not it will succeed in the House. They should be doing it. They should do it and they should keep doing it over and over. It’s right and necessary to clearly say “this is what should be happening and if this was a functioning rational country it would be”
The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.
Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

This is a good statement -- bc it gets you where you need to be wrt the OTHER constitutional issues (not least bc THIS SCOTUS would not rule against Trump but Gorsuch IS on recent record that Congress can't hand off its war-declaring power to POTUS.
Statement from Cato VP Clark Neily: Courts probably won't rule against the rendition. Yet Trump has chosen to bypass the constitutional provisions designed to cabin the president's powers in using force against other countries. And an indictment does not supply him with those powers.

Allow me to connect some dots for you:
Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more.
Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
