Are we at war with Venezuela yet?

Recommended Posts

Doing my research on the history of Venezuela and what happened to this country, reads a lot like what trump is doing or plans to do to the US...

Chávez rewrote the constitution in 1999 to increase presidential power. He packed the Supreme Court with loyalists and gradually dismantled the "checks and balances" that keep a leader in line. 

In 2003, he fired 18,000 experienced employees from the state oil company (PDVSA) and replaced them with political loyalists.

In 2018, Nicolás Maduro launched the Petro (PTR), claiming it was the world’s first state-backed cryptocurrency, supposedly pegged to the value of a barrel of Venezuelan oil.

Just to cut off some of the narratives.  Yes Maduro was a disaster for Venezuela, but we're not good at nation building and it shouldn't be our goal.  We don't know who replaces him and if it will be better.

This looks pretty much like pure oil theft to benefit trump and his people.

How many military aged men from Venezuela invaded our country during the illegitimate Biden Regime?

Narco terrorism conspiracy?  Is that even a charge?

It funny though because we just pardoned the former president of Honduras on similar charges.  Makes sense.

It's not. It's much wider and goes much deeper than oil. We have plenty.

Now letting illegal Venesuelans into the country, purposely, is cut and dry. It was about votes and control. Let that sink in.

Whatever you think is going on for whatever reasons you think, it's not. Just sit with that reality a bit and see if you change your tune.

I told you liberals you're going to give yourselves a mental breakdown if you try to apply liberal logic to what Trump does. Part of his strategy is to break your little liberal brains.

Fight it if you want, but it is not going to be an easy ride for you. It's also for your benefit, but I don't expect you to realize this for a while.

He was striking drug boats. It has to do with drugs. That's not all of it, but it's part of the equation.

Weird how when a drug boat is blown up you can't figure out that drugs are part of the reason it was struck.

As soon as I saw the story this morning and the statement, I thought the same thing.

Interfering in South American governments has always gone so well for the U.S. - I’m sure this will be just as amazing as every other time.

If Trump had been in office when the US killed osama bin Laden liberals would have been outraged. What a miserable bunch. 

Stop it.  Madura never attacked America.

Trump still lying, saying this is about drugs, 300k people die per year, total BS.

Compares Maduro to Biden for rigging elections.

What a POS.

Trump on foxnews is saying this is payback for Maduro emptying his prisons and asylums into the US, which is a complete lie.

Maybe Maduro shouldn't have done that.

It’s worked out ok for Panama. Oh I forgot, you guys like the Bush clan now. Don’t bring it up that he did the same exact thing. Trump!

You keep believing that

I believe in evidence.  There is no evidence at all that Maduro did this.  None.

You believe in a man that has a proven record of lying about everything.  You're a cult member.

This guy was indicted in 2020.  Unbelievable that the libs are trying to defend a terrorist, drug cartel dictator who has been indicted.
