The military was told to stand down. Not quite a startling accomplishment.
“The military was told to stand down. Not quite a startling accomplishment.”
Perhaps in a limited “how-good-are-the-defense-radars” sense. In a “do-we-win” sense, maybe the best tactical victory of all?
“The military was told to stand down.”
How else to explain that the Venezuelans got their teeth kicked in.
Hypothesis #1: We have, by far, the greatest military in the world.
1a. From halfway around the world, we bombed Iran’s nuclear industry in Operation Midnight Hammer.
1b. In 2003, we invaded Iraq and within a couple weeks overthrew Saddam Hussein.
1c. In 2001, a fleet of our B-52s obliterated the Taliban army.
1d. In 1991, we expelled Iraq from Kuwait in 100 hours.
Hypothesis #2. All this talk of how powerful is our military is all fake. We actually are as pathetic as Russia which cannot, after three years, defeat Ukraine. The only reason we seem to destroy the other side militarily is because it’s all prearranged.
2a. The appearance of U.S. prowess in Venezuela was fake. The person we arrested isn’t really Nicolas Maduro. He’s an actor. The Cuban bodyguards that we mowed down were dead bodies we brought to Venezuela to make it appear there was resistance. The Chinese air defense radars aren’t temu, they actually work. The photos of bombed military installations are all photo-shopped. What further proof is necessary?
