Judicious thing that's ever been seen in history"

“So, judicious. A word I just invented by the way. Judicious.” “Many Venezuelans have come to me with tears in their eyes saying please sir make us judicious.”

and land on the deck of a aircraft carrier to make the announcement.



Mark my words, it's gonna be déjà-vu all over again.

Look like a tick about to burst if he could stuff his mass into one! And then he wouldn't be able to walk at all.

That they didn't, gave T💩p the go-ahead to do whateverthefuckhewants. Remember folks, IOKIYAR!

Old DUer PTSD.

trump is set to pilferage that country of its oil, precious stones, gold, silver, iron, etc.

These are points that bother me:

1. How easy it was to invade that country. No casualties from either side, even though Venezuela does have a big army, and they knew the USA was coming, zero retaliation.
2. trump during his speech today did not mention Edmundo Gonzalez and Maria Corina Machado (recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize), Gonzalez duly elected by the Venezuelan people by a huge margin. Why is he not mentioning them?
3. He also aid that he and Rubio will be the rulers of Venezuela. One has to give credit to trump, he would be the only man in modern history to be president of two countries at once. We all know he fails hugely as president of the USA, and like in the USA, he does not want to govern Venezuela, he just wants his hands on the riches of the country.
4. I venture to bet that Maduro will not serve time, it will be a big show in New York. I could be wrong, I hope I am wrong.
5. Sources tell me that people like Vladimir Padrino-Lopez who commands the army in Venezuela will continue to do so. Padrino-Lopez is a butcher, he has been responsible for torture, and countless deaths of innocent people, young and older that includes teens, women, he does not discriminate when feeling like enjoying a little torture.
6. trump said that he, and Marco Rubio, will rule Venezuela until they can assure a peaceful transition, and if I am not wrong, they intend to find the right person to run the country, and I have to assume he will be doing like Putin has done, to bring a puppet who can obey and execute orders.
7. Russia, China, Hezbolah, Iran, and others will remain in Venezuela and continue to pilfer as they have been doing for many years.
8. It is curious that in a military fort (Fort Tiuna), where Russians built some buildings, although the fort was bombed, none of the Russian assets were touched. I guess trump didn't want to upset Vladi?

Anyway, I really hope that I am wrong in many of those points, that Venezuelans are able to reconstruct their country, but when most of the thugs who destroyed and pilfered for many years stay in power, how is that possible?

He likes killing, similar to the Gilgo beach murderer, but with a get out of jail free card. He’s pretty sick.

Of the dictator we just arrested? That is the person he thinks should be in charge?

Yea, that makes sense.

And it doesn't look like he put up much if any resistance. He went quietly.

As soon as that's done, the new boss of Venezuela will start taking bribes from the drug cartels, as they continue with their worldwide marketing of cocaine and fentaynl. It'll be business as usual, with the only real difference being that US companies get a lot more money from their (now our) oil.

The people of Venezuela won't see any more freedom, or financial gain, than they have now.

Also some Meth, and Marijuana.
Apparently they're mostly a distribution hub.

They market drugs. Cocaine mostly to the US, fentanyl to Europe.

Yeah, that'll work out. Lol.

Next up: Canada or Mexico?

occasionally, but when Europe resists, he backs off.

Ugh. When does the revolution start, and how do I sign up?

Back when it was Noriega of Panama who was deposed, our government didn't go that far.
I expect being a colonial dependency will not sit well with Venezuelans, even those who hated and feared Maduro.

and extract all the fossil fuel out of it.

Dubya never tried installing a puppet government in Iraq.

Russia taking parts of Ukraine. HMM?

The essence of fascism.

Start an illegal war, establish a lawless occupation, falsely claim it was ‘justified.’

Trump just proclaimed that he owns Venezuela now, and somehow no one is questioning that. This isn't chess where you automatically win by taking your opponent's king.

Our entrenched minority rule had killed the USA.

would have been attempting to take down the helicopters.
Even if it was standing out with a pistol.
The Un United States met no resistance.
Will we be subjected to stories of chumps heroism in signing off on yet another illegal action?

Sorry to say I was hoping the helos would be shot down.
My country right or wrong my ass!

I would not be surprised if the new Venezuelan VP is the person collecting the $50 million bounty.

I wouldn't want to be her if there are Maduro supporters nearby. For safety reasons.

One aircraft was even hit, but managed to fly back. All threats were neutralized, and the aircraft proceeded to move in.

etc., are going to just say, "Yessir!"

And without an occupation force, kicking them out of their positions and putting in others isn't likely to be accepted mutely.

I noticed pedo Trump mentioned our troops not being dead....if you believe him....and the pedo mentioned all his war machines were hunky-dory. But what about the people who live in Venezuela????

How many of them died????? He did bomb Chavez's tomb but he was already dead.

Where is pedo Trump's buddy Machado? Why isn't she taking over?? Did she die in the bombing?

Why did they take the wife? She wasn't a threat.

Has there been any proof of life or death?

How long before the roadside bombs start exploding? Been there, done that, and it sucks.

We need to bring in the REAL elected officials, set them up in office with heavy security & then get the government running FOR the people for the first time in 20+ years. Co-opt the military & make sure they're paid & kept busy. Get services for the people going quickly. Food distribution to the people. Etc
There's SO MUCH to do now that the pottery has been broken.
But its what we MUST do unless we want to see VZ turn into a South American Somalia.

I guess maybe the Taliban will take over Venezuela as well in 20 years from now

We never learn to butt out!

and they were also overrun with religious zealots. Not an issue in VZ.
Regardless of the past, what's done is done. We HAVE to attempt to save VZ from the destruction of Chavez & Maduro because TRUMP broke it.

Look at past history. The US has a history of putting in puppet regimes in many countries. For example, they put the Shah in power after they overthrew Mossadegh in Iran for oil. Let's face it, if it was about drugs in Venezuela, how come there is no evidence of it? Also, I highly doubt that South American cartels would be going through Venezuela. I would think they usually would go through Central America first. Something feels fishy.

Seriously, thats what they're saying

and then nodding off when his hand picked general rants during a press conference, and to top it all off some little asshole speaker in the House is all in...........and so one has to ask how the Noble Peace Prize winner from Venezuela thinks of this ........would she accept being installed...........

Don't regime changes end up costing a lot of lives and treasure?

Or, this going to be different because there's a narcissistic 34- time felon, adjudicated rapist running the show?

Nixon's 'goodwill' trip to Caracas in 1958 after the overthrow of a dictator didn't go too well.

This should keep Epstein news on the back burner for a while. This is just unbelievable.

And caught ship to Antarctica.

All trump did was to "arrest" and remove Maduro. There was NO regime change. See https://democraticunderground.com/100220907148 and https://democraticunderground.com/100220907041 for Professor Vladeck's explanation. trump did not remove the current government and is NOT in control.

Trump claims the U.S. will run Venezuela. What's the plan?
The raid to nab Maduro was brilliantly executed. The aftermath could get extremely messy.

The extraction was done in less than 30’.

Past US governments have gone for regime change in foreign countries and didn't get much of a positive result.

Often walking out when the job of 'sorting them out' became impossible.

Obviously missing something in the process. Each and every time.

Slow learners!

But never fear, Trump is a bigly brained genius and this time it will go well. /sarcasm

this turns into an insurgency that lasts for years and is left for the next dem to fix, and to be blamed.

All in the name of 'restoring' democracy, peace and for the wellbeing of the people of course! /sarcasm

How many cemeteries of American soldiers are there around the world now?

"There are 26 permanent American military cemeteries and 30 federal memorials maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) located in 17 foreign countries around the world."

Don't really want one in Venezuela as well, really.

Trump will handball the running of Venezuela to some underlings, who will just make things worse through stuffing things up further.

Anyone remember what happened when the Shah of Persia was deposed in 1979, and what happened since?
And who runs Iran now?

thanks to OPEC, OPEC+ and U.S. fracking (where the U.S. is ALREADY the largest oil producer in the world - we have long-surpassed Saudi).

IOW, the oil companies will LOSE money (their profits).
