Bit rich of the Americans trying to prosecute foreign presidents when they can't even hold their own to account

So much for playing poker in the back shed and coming home to hear this

I knew there was some possible events but didnt expect a kidnapping

Anyone who says this is a just arrest is in la la land. Its a kidnapping of a Head of State - no matter your belief in their corruption or criminality - its just not on

I hope - forlornly - that payback is coming

If you agree with this action then you agree ANY HOS is an open legitimate target

Venezuela will hit the US with savage tariffs.
How many more years do we have to put up with a Trump Presidency?

Who in Germany held Hitler to account?

I endorse any nation that wanna do an espionage mission on the white house to take out the orange campaigner tbh

People voted for him because he was "anti-war" btw

Trump just traded away Taiwan for Venezuaela

Trump just traded away Venezuela for Taiwan with China.
That's the Art of the Deal.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Of course it matters.
Unless you agree that it's okay to go to a beach in Sydney and kill innocent people?

so let me get this straight, and remind you this is the dump trump thread not the bondi thread
trump has gone and greenlit a military operation to abduct the Venezuelan leader and his wife
I have then in response stated that I would find it fair and reasonable (leaving out the practicalities due to the assymmetric balance of power) for Venezuela to have special forces abduct Trump and his wife/ family
TO me this seems a reasonable tit for tat

You have then chimed in with a statement that doesn't seem to make much logical sense about "I don't think this US invasion of Venezuela is on the scale of the Israeli invasion of Gaza."
I don't get how this is relevant so am dismissive of your statement

then you have doubled down about a statement which now seems in the opposite direction

And to clarify I am also being internally consistent. I have condemned the Russian army and leader for invading Ukraine
Therefore it is also logical to do the same condemnation of the USA leader and military
I did not say go kill US civilians in response. Though the US military no doubt will have killed Venezuelan civilians in these strikes, so I really don't give much of a **** about US civilians right this minute

Saying that this then applies to me supporting action against Australian citizens of a specific foreign background (Israeli, US, Russian) is an illogical step as I have not stated this anywhere. I have not called for reprisals against any Australian citizens

Time to stop co-operating with Pax Americana. The US military need to get the f*ck out of this nation. Tear up AUKUS. Take the financial hit. Tear it the f*ck up. Withdraw diplomatic recognition of Israel. Close their embassies and consulates and withdraw our staff from there.

Australia must join the non-aligned movement.

Any chance of getting an unbiased viewpoint on this?

The right claiming one thing and Reddit’s echo chamber claiming another.

Legitimately asking if someone could explain whether this is a good thing or a bad thing and why.

He’s a crazy thought, form your own opinion.

You just know Albo's response will be as gutless as Starmer's

Unfortunately I think you will be proven right.

Explains why the mission was more successful than something like Mogadishu. Doubt there would even have been any backlash from maga if there were american casualties but not sure cowards like trump and kegsbreath would have risked it

legit taking the piss. **** these guys and everyone who enables them

That would NOT surrpise me in the least.

So because Delta force was able to cut through poorly trained Venezuelan guards and capture the president, that's proof that Trump Putin and Xi all made a world changing deal?

Right...

I mean they're probably better trained than insurgents and child soldiers and would have more modern military equipment. And no secret trump and vlad are fond of each other

 

[nut]

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

Is that international law?

 

[nut]

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

So providing Putin gets approval from his own team … war is legal.

Show me where the UN approved the Iraq war.

 

[James_]

Neither.
This is a Trump thing.
This is up there with his tariffs.
Trump, as US President, is doing only what benefits him.
Targeting Venezuela appealed to him. So he did it.

Cheers, mate. I think that’s the part I can’t get my head around.

For the most part, leaders do what they think it best for their country. The part I’m struggling with is that it seems the whole thing was just for Trump.

Like, what’s the benefit?

 

[James_]

He’s a crazy thought, form your own opinion.

Thanks for that but in your desire to type out a smug response so quickly, maybe you didn’t actually read what I asked.

I was just curious for an unbiased opinion about what was occurring so I can form my own judgement.
