As video of U.S. military operations inside Venezuela began to surface on social media, President Donald Trump has announced that overnight the U.S. military carried out a “large scale strike” against Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro.
The democrats will be very angry.
Yes they will.
rand paul hardest hit
Any word on casualties?
Nothing says free republic better than another freaking WAR! Let’s attack Iran next! Yea! And why not a good old fashion dirty war with Russia. MAGA has lost the plot, little more than a cult now.
Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves. It was selling oil in currencies outside the USD. A direct threat to the petrodollar
Another KGB-sponsored regime falls.
Grenada, Panama, Nicaragua. These are the precedents. Run your country as a base for thuggery to attack America and Americans and you’re on borrowed time.
Tired of winning?
Might be more CCP-sponsored in this case, but your point stands.
Who said it was a war?
It was a criminal apprehension.
Similar to Manuel Noriega’s ‘89 capture and removal to the US for trial.
It freed Panama from his thuggery and despotism.
This is a win-win for the US and Venezuela.

I hope the arresting officer said ‘Regards from President Trump,’ and kicked him squar’ in the ‘nads.”
That’s creezy, right?...I mean like, y’know, it’s like group think, y’know? /s
BUahahahahahahaha!
This is not war. This is the apprehension of international crime.And it will prevent the necessity for war.
And Yes, MAGA voted for this.
It is YOU who are a representative of cult.
Cuba is next. By prosperity deal, not by war.
“...Grenada, Panama, Nicaragua...”
There is a lot more on that list. Throw in Cuba and even Columbia. Would love to see Gustavo Petro in chains (he snapped his fingers to explain how he would eliminate Trump). Also would be great to see that scumbag Lula from Brazil in hand cuffs, along with his hack judges that imprisoned Jair Bolsonaro.
Over before it even began—Now to re-establish democracy and restore freedom. We can put the democratically elected and Nobel Peace prize winning President in power. Lets see how the people react to this change. I bet they will be cheering. Lets see what Trump has to say at 11:00 am. Trump used Teddy Roosevelt’s “Big Stick” in a good way. Next—Cuba.
I say, job well done. Special Ops performed exquisitely. Haul the fugitive back to the U.S. and prosecute his ass for drug terrorism - a capital violation. I’m through with listening to the head scratchers and nail biters. This is what is what I want in a decisive leader. The 11 o’clock news gaggle should be fun to watch.
Come on, you're smarter than that. This wasn't an act of war, it was a precise locating, capture and extraction of a known narcotics king pin.
Was the locating, and ultimate killing of Bin Laden an act of war against Pakistan?
Was the capture of El Chapo by agents of the Delta Force and US Marshals in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, an act of war against Mexico?
My issue is him being indicted in New York... WTF. He should be indicted and tried in Texas.
In NY he’ll probably get an ankle bracelet and a luxury hotel room till he’s tried in 4 or 5 years and a ticker tape parade under Mamdani.
