old man emu Posted Saturday at 10:08 AM Posted Saturday at 10:08 AM Trump has invaded Venezuala! Now we know that we can't trust the American Military to act lawfully! 1 2
onetrack Posted Saturday at 10:16 AM Posted Saturday at 10:16 AM Well, there goes the Trump Nobel Peace Prize, out the window!! But I'll wager Putin is grinning like a Cheshire Cat. 2
rgmwa Posted Saturday at 10:46 AM Posted Saturday at 10:46 AM (edited) No real surprise. He's been talking about it for weeks. Apparently they've captured Maduro and his wife and flown them out of the country. I wonder if that's legal? Edited Saturday at 10:49 AM by rgmwa 2

onetrack Posted Saturday at 11:08 AM Posted Saturday at 11:08 AM There's nothing like a good war-move distraction to reduce the heat level being applied to one arse. 3
rgmwa Posted Saturday at 11:13 AM Posted Saturday at 11:13 AM (edited) I'm not sure this will go down all that well with the MAGA crowd, even if the only aim was to get Maduro (oh.. and all that oil of course). They thought they'd voted for a Nobel prize-winning Peace President. Edited Saturday at 11:13 AM by rgmwa 1 1
onetrack Posted Saturday at 11:42 AM Posted Saturday at 11:42 AM I'm sure that Trump will be able to quickly and blithely explain to the MAGA doting adherents, that he had no choice but to bomb the crap out of Venezuela and capture Maduro, because Venezuela had declared war on America, due to all those Venezuelan drugs bombarding the U.S. - and the MAGA doting adherents will lap it up, and cheer him on. 1 1 1
old man emu Posted Saturday at 10:01 PM Author Posted Saturday at 10:01 PM Given the mentality of MAGA people, one has to wonder how many of them supported the importation of Venezualian drugs. 1 1
nomadpete Posted Saturday at 10:05 PM Posted Saturday at 10:05 PM I just tuned in. I think all this talk about a war is misguided. Or maybe lefty propaganda. Mr trump promised 'no more wars'. It is not a war. Recent events in Venezuela are simply a Military Operation carried out purely to save the lovely people of that fine country. How could anyone believe that oil has anything to do with it? PS, can anyone please post a list of South American goverment changes where USA played an active part? 2 1

red750 Posted Saturday at 10:34 PM Posted Saturday at 10:34 PM Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of drug trafficking, was pardoned by President Donald Trump on December 1, 2025. Hernández had been sentenced to 45 years in prison for his role in a scheme that imported over 400 tonnes of cocaine into the United States. 2 2 1

rgmwa Posted yesterday at 01:41 AM Posted yesterday at 01:41 AM Very few people would be sorry to see Maduro go, but what happens now? Trump said the US is going to ‘run the country’ until they get a suitable government installed. They are also going to manage the oil production. Sounds like a recipe for chaos, especially if fighting breaks out between rival political factions. 2
Litespeed Posted yesterday at 02:52 AM Posted yesterday at 02:52 AM Putanna and Xi would be very happy. Justifys anything they do if the US can do it, so can they. 1 2
old man emu Posted yesterday at 03:09 AM Author Posted yesterday at 03:09 AM At the start of this video, Trump confesses that war crimes were committed at his say-so. 1 1
rgmwa Posted yesterday at 04:51 AM Posted yesterday at 04:51 AM His prospects for a Nobel Peace prize are starting to look a bit bleak, but on the positive side his prospects for a referral to the International Criminal Court are looking much better. 1 2

onetrack Posted yesterday at 07:39 AM Posted yesterday at 07:39 AM Yep, what a great move. A special military operation to remove a threat to stable Govt - which Govt, only the invader can provide. Straight out of his best mates playbook. The only thing missing is the Nazis that were threatening the countrys democratic stability. 1 2
nomadpete Posted yesterday at 08:08 AM Posted yesterday at 08:08 AM Nothing new here. The USofA take what they want, as usual. Please please do not let them save our country. It never ends well for the inhabitants. 2
old man emu Posted yesterday at 09:46 AM Author Posted yesterday at 09:46 AM The ironic thing about what Trump has done is that the majority of Venezualians are celebrating the arrest of Maduro. But remember that a lot of Sudeten Germans celebrated when Hitler annexed the Sudatenland. 1 2 1
Jerry_Atrick Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago I have to admit, I haven't been following this closely so really can't comment too much. But I did note a headline on The Age's website yesterday that the Aussie Vebeuelan population were cheering Chump on. I haven't read the article so going by the headline, Chump may be doming demoicracy a favour? Optimistically wishful thinking, I know. 1
rgmwa Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago They are, but a lot are celebrating very quietly because Maduro's regime is still in control and nobody knows what's coming next, least of all Trump. 1 1
