That cuts both ways

You have to hand it to Trump. Under his leadership, we have had 2 of the most beautifully executed military actions in the history of the world.

Wait, are you siding with a regime that exports Fentanyl among other nasty drugs to our country and is responsible for tens of thousands American deaths?

Not to mention all of the ruthless things these thugs have did to their own people.

Pull your head out

Nasty things happen to hasty people

We just went and grabbed him!?

That is Old Testament level FAFO.

I doubt that this happened today, january 3rd, is a coincidence... noriega was captured on january 3rd 36 years ago and soleimani was killed on january 3rd.

Trump has helped stop 8 wars or so in the past year.

But in this case, Maduro is not a legitimate leader of Venezuela, and he refuses to leave. He lost a fair and free election with only 30% of the vote. This has been recognized by voting observers and countries worldwide.

Years ago he seized US physical assets and oil inside Venezuela, without compensation.

He has been running drugs into the US and elsewhere, contributing to the deaths of thousands of Americans.

Trump has been warning him for weeks, and putting an embargo on oil shipments and air movement, and striking drug-running boats. Maduro has refused to leave.

Maduro is now recognized as head of a cartel.

Fox reporting at least 7 explosions and multiple low-flying aircraft have been heard in Caracas.

The US is not the world’s police, it’s not our task to decide what leaders should and shouldn’t be in power.

If Trump is this passionate about stamping out drug cartels, why isn’t he going after cartels in Mexico and Colombia which statistically produce and supply the vast majority of drugs coming to the US.

No

Biden was a terrible president

Let me get this straight; you are big mad that Trump went in and got Maduro, yet at the same time you are trying to be big mad that Trump hasnt done this with Mexico and Columbia? You are talking out your ass because Trump has made you twist into a pretzel because your logic skills has been contorted by TDS.

Trump IS on Mexico and Columbia. And now they know how serious he is that they have to do what he tells them to do on drugs. Otherwise, they will get the same treatment.

Bwahahah! The idiots have another 80-20 hill to pearl clutch on.

Jonathan Turley basically torched them this morning. He said if Obama can order an operation that vaporized an american citizen, and Obama doesnt get a single criminal charge brought against him, then Trump has the authority to go in and pluck out Maduro and his wife.

Who has the guns? Well, the drug cartels have guns and so does the military.

As of right now , we will see how it goes....

"Like every dictatorship, Maduro’s had invested heavily in the myth of its own invincibility. And yet the regime is very much still in place, albeit in a weird, decapitated state. State TV is still running regime propaganda, Vice President (soon, one surmises, to shed the “vice”) Delcy Rodríguez is still fulminating on behalf of the Venezuelan government, the hardline interior minister Diosdado Cabello is still giving fire-breathing speeches condemning American aggression, Maduro’s notoriously repressive attorney general, Tarek William Saab, is still out mining the night’s events for propaganda points. The entire ghastly apparatus of state repression that Hugo Chávez built and Nicolás Maduro perfected appears, for now, to be fully in control of the country.

Maduro is gone. It’s tempting to think that, without him, the regime will implode. But Maduro’s was never the kind of personalist system that depends on a single leader. It was always more of a team effort, with a constellation of influential figures like Rodríguez and Cabello teaming up with Cuban intelligence to keep dissent at bay. In other words, the kind of regime that could very well survive decapitation. And if it does, Venezuelans will get the worst of it."

I have three brief comments after reading this thread:

1. Mexico and Mexican cartels will now lose sleep.

2. Cuba has been served notice, and in a wonderfully indirect way.

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.

Are you kidding? Maduro's own bodyguards were cuban. He wouldnt even allow Venezuelans to protect himself personally.

The utter stupid displayed by the board leftists never fails to be fascinating.

There's more american flags being waved in the streets of Caracas at the moment than there are in poopville San Francisco or NYC.

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?

another caveat in the land of 4d chess … look for intel to leak on dominion and smartmatic in the coming months…

That's because they are truly oppressed by the left, and are not wealthy corporate extreme leftists pushing dictators so they can exploit the relationship for profit, like Tuna Lady in San Fran with her Pacific Island work arounds, or the political hacks on foreign dole in NYC.

Trump confirms they were actually going to do a second wave, but didnt need to.

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!
