Wasn't it one of Charlie Kirks main platforms that Trump is the "no wars" president?

Makes sense why they offed him now

 

[SSSSSS]

Wtf is happening. They just straight up yoinked him.

I am pretty sure Bush had congress support for the Iraq war...

Nothing to do with international legality.

Domestic legality (whether POTUS had the internal authority to sanction this incursion) and international legality have been conflated by many posters in this thread.

Won't be surprised if this is seedlings for starting WW3.
Putin might be feeling a little nervous.

 

[Present Not Past]

Donald Trump knows nothing except quid pro quo.
María Corina Machado was the Venezuelan opposition leader in 2024
And guess what?
She won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
Donald Trump intervenes in Venezuelan politics.
Maybe, this leads to María Corina Machado becoming President of Venezuela.
Quid pro quo, Donny gets what he so desperately lacks and so urgently wants.
Respect, with the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

Jealous, more like it.

He did, overwhelmingly.
It just annoys me that some posters are allowed to just post lies here.

Just watched MSNBC, Fox News and CNN for 10 minutes each to gauge the propaganda.

All three the same. I heard "drug trafficking" about 20 times, a "new dawn for Venezuela" 10 times, and Trump praising the "good people" who ran the operation multiple times.

Nothing about oil or China.

The talking heads have their CIA and security agency talking points on the teleprompter.

I think the analogy is Cuba and a successful Bay of Pigs in an updated form. Instead of an actual invasion, a surgical op to take out a regional pebble in the shoe. He was not our sort of dictator, like Castro wasn't. I've seen reporting that Maduro is considered as too destabilizing for comfort for the powers that be.
I don't see Trump as a key part of this scheme, more the Deep State with Rubio as their pointman. Some pundit and someone upthread mentioned sphere of influence, the Monroe Doctrine. A Dem POTUS might not have wanted to green light this sort of op, and in Trump they found their guy. The drugs for sure, and probably the oil as its the dirty kind are fig leaves. The build up and sinkings, theater. We'll see how fast someone ascends the throne there. Done quickly and then there may have been plans for this for a long time.
Edit:I should add that the campaigner will probably get a bump in the polls for this.

She is also extremely pro Israel so a double win in US eyes

If Trump asked Congress they would likely still approve what he did, even Democrats, that Oil money fuels the US economy for generations

 

[Daka]

What makes the Trump bombing worse is that Chinese officials were there... what is going to happen next? tensions will rise.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

You're delusional if you think the Democrats will be demanding anything.

The Dems are gutless AF.

Nah, Democrats would never have approved it. They know the campaign against Venezuela is a vanity project of Trump.

 

[spinynorman]

Charged with possession of machine guns???

Why were the Chinese officials even there, except to convince Madura his time was up and that he'd lost their support.
The US just supplied the fireworks.

 

[Paul Kersey]

These campaigners are unreal.

 

[ams4crows]

Waiting for the EU to be like..... Well he technically was a dictator so we're fine with this.

 

[Daka]

Has Donald Trump stopped the Russian-Ukraine war yet? the war that he claimed he would stop! I would give him credit if he did but so far, I've yet to see it.

 

[Royces Hart]

Charged with possession of machine guns???

Cocaine importation? Isn’t he exporting it, not importing?

campaigner has become Art Vandelay.

 

[ams4crows]

This law they've seemingly invented that other countries can't have weapons if they intend to hurt US citizens with those said weapons seems like a bit of a stretch.

 

[Present Not Past]

Waiting for the EU to be like..... Well he technically was a dictator so we're fine with this.

The most funny response was from Putin, declaring it as an act of armed aggression.
Dude, that's your playbook, and you suck at it.
Just go away.

 

[WCErevival]

So can a country invade the US and arrest Trump?

 

[Present Not Past]

LOL.
He's charged with US laws, not Venezuelan laws.
That's the funniest thing I've read all night.

You've got any suggestions?

 

[Present Not Past]

Yes, that's called Putin's Law.
Putin invaded Ukraine because Ukraine had weapons that would hurt Russians.
