"After Trump’s Venezuela Invasion, Mexico Could Be Next"
Administration officials tell Zeteo that Trump remains ‘very interested’ in the idea of sending US Special Forces into Mexico, as the president threatens Colombia and Cuba, too.

Donald Trump is threatening to murder the new President of Venezuela if she does not give the USA unrestricted access to Venezuela's oil.
All the disgraceful politicians refusing to comment on this blatant criminality are disgusting.

Let’s be clear: When it comes to Venezuela’s giant oil reserves, America’s oil companies will be making money for themselves. During the 2024 campaign they made a deal with Trump on which they’re still cashing in.

I will remind politicians that sucking up to Trump and ignoring anything he does wrong doesn't make him respect you.
It makes him think you are weak and can be pushed around and bullied as much as he likes.
You are painting a target on your head.

Trump Threatens Venezuela’s New Leader With a Fate Worse Than Maduro’s.
The felon demands obedience, control of mineral wealth.
He said: “We do need Greenland, absolutely”, and the US needs to maintain control over the Western Hemisphere.

Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling Nicolás Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves.

With Greenland as with Venezuela, Trump doesn't give a toss about running the countries.
All he is cares about is strip mining out all the minerals and drilling out all the oil.
He will takeover Greenland and he will completely destroy it, to take what he wants.

There doesn’t seem to be the decisiveness and leadership that is required.
Starmer says "I want to get all the material facts together” before deciding if Trump broke international law. I wonder which additional ‘facts’ he needs? When Russia attacked Ukraine he wasn’t so reticent.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."
