I have three brief comments after reading this thread:
1. Mexico and Mexican cartels will now lose sleep. [I predict we’ll see some new WLF “investments” with laundered money, probably through vehicles in the ME that’ll secure peace and prosperity for Mexican cartels]
2. Cuba has been served notice, and in a wonderfully indirect way. [you consider this indirect? It’s about as subtle as a sock on the door]
3. Now the board knows why its leftist are tolerated. Mild delusional thought actually inoculates against Extreme delusional thought. Our leftists act like a vaccine against the hard left of reddit and the mainstream media. Idiocy reveals true delusion more clearly and completely than reason. [lol there is certainly delusion on this board. Reddit too, a lot of the same personality types with different ideologies though]
are you agreeing? or did you hit the submit button before the hive-mind gave you your talking points?
lol hive mind taking points:
MAGA:
No more foreign wars! America first! Kamala Harris will start wars! We’re not world police! Biden started wars because he was weak and couldn’t negotiate!
Trump starts a war:
Wars are great! Regime change is good! Trump is strong for starting wars! We should be world police!
1. It is an enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine.
2. It is a police effort to curtail narcotics trafficking in the U.S.
3. Since the fall of the Soviet Union the Marxist in and around the Americas have used drug trafficking to further their incursions and to destabilize our society.
All are valid reasons to take these actions and the fact that they haven't been taken before was a dereliction of duty by former presidents.

JRsec,

RE: Breaking: US hits Caracas
My concern is why would the trial be in the Leftist capital of the world...New York? It should have been in Texas or Florida, preferable Florida where I imagine there are more Venezolanos than in Texas. I think it's a bad call on it being NY.
...and Russia doesn't have ANY room to talk. It is laughable that they would even say anything.
As for the Leftists on this forum...ho hum, same ol', same ol'.

A part of this operation is about sending a message to Iran, China, and internal enemies like Mamdani. It makes sense to have the trial in the vipers nest NYC. Might even need to call national guard in for security.

RE: Breaking: US hits Caracas
Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado Poised to Take Control of Venezuela after Communist Dictator Is Removed
Quote:On Saturday morning, January 3, 2026, a series of explosions in Caracas and other cities in Venezuela signal the start of the US campaign against the socialist regime of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Low-flying aircraft could be heard, as well as air raid sirens.
Bright flashes could be seen in at least six locations, including Fort Tiuna army base and La Carlota Air Base, where power outages hit some neighborhoods.
Paul Serran reported earlier: At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela’s capital, Caracas.
TGP’s Jordan Conradson reported that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife have been indicted in the Southern District of New York following his capture during a US military operation in the middle of the night.
“Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
Explosions were reported across Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, early this morning.
And, now it is widely expected that Nobel Peace Prize Winner Maria Corina Machado will take control of Venezuela following the removal of its communist dictatar.
The New York Post reported that Corina Machado and fellow Nobel Prize winner Edmundo González could lead a transitional government in the South American country, according to an expert on Caracas.
Maria Corina Machado had to flee the communist regime in December by speedboat to attend her Nobel Prize ceremony.

The more I read about the justification of the extradition, the more comfortable I am with it. One aspect others here have mentioned is a message to China that the Monroe Doctrine, under Trump, is alive and well.
