    The only part of this I find hilarious is the propagandists on this board celebrating and thumping their chest about Maduro being arrested and trumpeting the removal of a bad guy when his entire regime is being allowed to stay in place. His communist vice president is in charge lol.

    This was a pure resource grab, nothing less. Trump doesn't even hide it, despite his loyalists trying so hard to add any other spin.

    Good lord you guys at this point have PHD’s in whataboutism.

    The difference is… Nancy Pelosi does not have complete control of the United States government and not reshaping the world order around a corrupt kleptocracy.

    Yes… I know Nancy Pelosi sucks. That has nothing to do with anything here. Please stop doing the work of MAGA propaganda for them.

    Neither do the oil speculators.
    I said everyone does it.

    Me being called a MAGA propagandist today was not on my bingo card.

    No I don’t think you are but people need to be careful to not do their work for them with this whataboutism nonsense. Nancy Pelosi has no control of the the US government. Let’s stop acting as though they do and letting Trump off the hook.

    Furthermore, there's a huge difference between taking advantage of insider knowledge to invest and taking direct action that will influence one's investments.

    Word on The Street is that kidnapping is against the law in Venezuela. Venezuelan Delta Force is currently planning their MaL raid.

    This is an educational re-tweet ...


    Ed Martin, Trump’s weaponization czar at the Department of Justice, shared an X post by Sean Davis, chief executive of The Federalist, who wrote on Sunday: “It’s gonna be wild when Maduro tries to plead to lesser charges by proffering evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.”

    Trump was negotiating with Maduro for some sort of peaceful resolution (after the US started bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela).

    I would be very surprised if the entire negotiations were not centered entirely on OIL.

    Whatever was in those negotiations will likely be covered in detail during discovery. This can not end well for Trump or the DoJ's case against Maduro ... not unless Maduro was hiding drugs in the exported oil.

    Given this discovery and the general incompetence of Trump's DoJ, especially within the politically motivated prosecutions, Maduro will likely walk. Once again showing, Trump is exceptionally bad at getting things done.

    Won't matter in 4 or 5 years when this finally gets started, not to mention the judge in this case is like 90 years old with a history of doing his own thing.

    America Oil Billionaire Bros First


    Despite his earlier claim that the U.S. incursion there would cost nothing, a national security reporter for MS NOW on Tuesday argued that the entire project could cost U.S. taxpayers billions and last for decades.

    Over the weekend, the U.S. military conducted a strike on Caracas, Venezuela, leading to the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro, who will face "narco-terrorism" charges in New York City. Reports indicate that roughly 70 were killed in the attack, including around 40 Venezuelan civilians.

    Trump has stated bluntly in the aftermath of the operation that the plan is for the U.S. to take control of the country's vast oil fields and rebuild them. While Trump initially claimed that the operations in Venezuela would be entirely paid for by oil profits, he later said there might be a cost to US taxpayers.

    During a Tuesday appearance on Ana Cabrera Reports, MS Now national security reporter David Rhode confirmed that the project "to fix up the oil infrastructure in Venezuela" could cost $100 billion in taxpayer money.

    Oh noooo, were going to keep the oil... Well this ruins everything.... NOT

    Are you guys ever happy? Nope, it's a neverending cycle of crying and whining because the guy in office is not the candidate you wanted...

    I have never, ever said oil wasn't of importance or that Trump's intentions aren't mainly or specifically the oil. Of course it ****ing is part of this ordeal. Duh, the Venezuelans weren't seeing a single dime of that oil money anyways and neither were we. This is good for both Venezuelans and Americans...

    But nope, it's a bad thing in your eyes because emotionally you guys are unstable and that causes you to be wrong. Always wrong, wrong about everything... The election, immigration, Inflation, the debates, Palestine and now Venezuela... Y'all have a tremendous track record of not getting it right yet here you are humiliating yourself again...

    Its good for Venezuelans that ExxonMobil steals their natural resources? You think the people of Venezuela will benefit from stealing their oil? You actually came running into this thread claiming the regime has fallen and the people were liberated and now you look like a complete clown. The only thing Trump wanted was the oil. He dont give a **** about the people

    I literally sold my business last year and moved abroad cuz I knew Trump was going to win and my business would suffer from him ending Healthcare subsidies which is exactly what happened....I saved myself atleast half a million..

    Trump did destroy the economy so I'm not sure what point youre making...I didnt comment on any Palestine future so youre just blabbering nonsense

    I am constantly amazed with the lack of humor on this board.
