    @Salvy you of all people should know what happens when foreign powers attempt a regime change in a developing Hispanic country. You are almost certainly here because the US and the USSR fueled a civil war in your home country.

    The U.S did, but the freedom to chose who governs is also pretty important and The Venezuelans deserve that. It took El Salvador nearly 40 years if not more to recover but things are looking up. I wish that for Venezuela....

    You’re really going to jump all in on an Iraq 2.0?

    have these ****ers not bankrupted us enough?

    he doesn’t have the power to declare war or call for a land invasion.

    that power is reserved for Congress.

    it’s like the constitution doesn’t mean anything to neoconservatives

    Easy:

    Israel-Iran
    Israel-Hamas (started under Biden - no respect)
    Armenia-Azerbaijan
    India-Pak
    Cambodia-Thailand
    Serbia-Kosovo
    Congo-Rwanda
    Egypt-Ethiopia

    And soon Ukraine-Russia will be added to the tally. Another one that started under Biden, and in fact was sparked by Biden-Blinken's bellicose actions.

    Biden only had to finish the downstroke on the war in Afghanistan and he botched that in grand fashion... that's actually what made other countries no longer respect America under Biden. And deterrence as a foreign policy was off the table... Trump has restored it and brought peace to millions. Impossible to argue it.


    GOOD DAY

    -Israel Iran was a war that Trump started by bombing Iran without even accomplishing the goal of getting rid of their enrichment

    -India has said a million times Trump had nothing to do with stopping the war. Also this war started under Trump. If a democrat was in office this war would never have started (this is what you low iq cultists said about every conflict under Biden)

    - Cambodia Thailand peace deal was brokered by ASEAN mostly Malaysia

    - Serbia-Kosovo were never at war in 2025. Theyve been dealing with border clashes for decades

    -Egypt Ethiopia were never at war with one another. They had disputes regarding water rights

    Again you are one dumb son of a b****

    Take that L, amigo. Very poor job of trying to explain away Trump’s historic foreign policy successes. But the deeper question is why you are opposed to peace? Trump is busting his tail to bring about peace globally, saving millions of lives in the process. He doesn’t have to do that — he does it because he wants his legacy to be the greatest President of all time. Biden did nothing of the sort — in fact two wars started in his watch, one of which he provoked. Quite a contrast.

    GOOD DAY

    -Canada signed one of the largest trade agreements with China
    -Germany number 1 trading partner is china now instead of USA
    -Japan and both South Korea have pivoted away from USA
    - Modi for the first time in years has visited China promising closer relationship

    Its funny living in Europe that you cultists dont realize how much the entire world hates America bcz of Trump. Trumps legacy is ditching our allies and driving our friends to China. Congratulations

    At this point I'm about set to put the last of the right-wingers on ignore. They're bad for everything; this country, our planet, their fellow man, and my health.

    This is an imagined scenario, not a present truth, but one that becomes chillingly plausible if the executive destroys all existing constitutional protections.

    In this not-too-distant future, the executive will unilaterally declare who is a drug addict, effectively nullifying all constitutional safeguards. The very people who accept this destruction of rights today will eventually see their own family members killed by the state under this designation. At that point, regret will be too late.

    After our tremendous success in the wars against Communism (Korea, Vietnam) and Islamic Terror (Iraq, Afghanistan, and to a lesser extent Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia), we’re apparently gearing up for another huge victory - the war on Drug Cartels (Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and yes, Afghanistan again).

    One thing that’s consistent with all these grand missions is the sales pitch: We’re liberating the local community. Same story, same script.

    But there is a really big difference. The big difference this time is that the wars on Communism and Terror didn’t involve Americans using the “product.” Nobody here was trying to become a communist or an Islamic terrorist. But in the war on Drugs, Americans are the customers. Even if the U.S. manages to destroy every cartel abroad, countless new ones will rise as long as the demand at home stays strong.

    And former Filipino President Duterte was arrested in March of this year by the Philippine National Police and Interpol for crimes against humanity related to his drug war. Specifically, the charges concern killings carried out by the government without any legal process or trial during his tenure as mayor and president.

    Republican Senator Rand Paul also made this point. We all know that innocents will be killed, but if it’s anywhere near 25%, it’s absolutely horrific for the fishermen and their families. And, of course, we U.S. citizens are paying for this, which none of us should stand for.


    “If you go off the coast of Miami, the Coast Guard will be stopping boats today,” Paul told Morgan. “And about 25% of the boats that they stop that they’re suspicious of drugs, there won’t be any drugs on board. So 25% of the time, the suspicion is wrong.” “And that’s why we don’t shoot and just blow up boats off of Miami,” he continued. “But neither should we be blowing them up off the coast of Venezuela. "

    “It’s summary execution! Everyone gets a trial because sometimes, the system gets it wrong. Even the worst of the worst in our country get due process.”

    He continued, “The bottom line is that execution without process is not justice, and blowing up foreign ships is a recipe for chaos.”
