First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?

I'm as reflexively non-interventionist as anyone can possibly be, but Venezuela appears to be a resounding victory and one of the most brilliant military operations in American history. As an unapologetic American Chauvinist, I want America to rule over this hemisphere and exert its power for the good of our people. If some shitty little tinpot third world dictator is harming our country or interfering with our national interests, we should do exactly what Trump did to Maduro. Why not? "International law" is fake and gay. The only international law is that big and powerful countries get to do what they want. It has been that way since the dawn of civilization. It will always be that way. And we are the most powerful country on the planet. It's about time that we start acting like it.

I totally support turning other countries in our hemisphere into subordinate vassals of the United States. That's the very definition of an America First foreign policy.
“International law” is fake and gay.”
Is this from the fat kid on Southpark?
This was a military op. Not a bush/obama/ carter/clinton/bush idiocracy op
People don’t have to Trust Trump or our Military to keep within the laws and orders of the declaration, the Constitution or the Monroe Doctrine, but when They don’t, like whiny negative Walsh, here, they would be more credible if they would review those documents, laws and orders
Another Modest Proposal?
Trump/Monroe Doctrine FTW. This hemisphere is ours and we’re finally standing up for it after decades of neglect. Fortress America!
I’m down with this !
America First and always. Especially in our hemisphere!!
No apologies !!
Thank you Mr President!!!
The big cock rules the roost
“ Matt Walsh totally gets it”
Why? Because he’s cynical and doesn’t trust Trump and our military? Our military stays within the constitution. So does President Trump
This is an insult to our military.
This op was done like anything Trump has done, lawfully and necessarily
They are not going to tell Rachel Maddox or the editors of the NYT or Dana perino what the stakes were.
If that’s not good enough for pole too bad. People can review the declaration, the constitution and the Monroe doctrine and quit expecting to be spooned
They can figure out that our country is run by people who think nothing of fraudulently supplying $12 billion to another enemy country who killed our soldiers when we tried to help them
Sounds like right out of The Book of Limbaugh
El Rush-Bo: "Ours is a world governed by the aggressive use of force"
That force can be to ensure or restore safety and freedom.
There was another great quote about American soldiers. It was in response to the insane Left yelling about using military force for colonization, empire. "All we ask for is enough land to bury our dead." There are still small villages in Europe where the ancestors of the people alive during WWII, these ancestors still tend to the graves of the American soldiers who died.
Well said.
If that’s not good enough for people -too bad. People can review the declaration, the constitution and the Monroe doctrine and quit expecting to be spooned
They can figure out that our country is run by people who think nothing of fraudulently supplying $12 billion to another enemy country who killed our soldiers when we tried to help them
They can figure out that there is an enormous system at work here and it’s going to require considerable tactics to clean it out
Do people want President Trump to drain the swamp? Or not?
Hegseth deserves a lot of credit for the way this all went down. I hope the rest of the world takes notice.
Next, Saudi Arabia for providing funding of 9/11.
This has been the case since year dot.
Let's see now. A 90 minute helicopter ride with no American deaths and no loss of equipment, versus years and years of war and wasted treasure and American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I'm very old fashioned, but that looks like a win to me.
“The only international law is that big and powerful countries get to do what they want“
I read this as sarcastic Maybe I misread it.
Imagined if we were able to capture Saddam and his sons instead. Then we could have turned over the country to one of Saddam's Generals. We wouldn't have needed to fight a war with a drawn out insurgency.
Walsh is a never Trumper.
