      The First Gulf War was at least a legitimate and internationally sanctioned response to an unprovoked act of aggression by one power upon a sovereign nation.

      This is just… unilaterally fucking kidnapping a head of state we aren’t at war with because we don’t like him?

      Fuck, I have about the lowest opinion possible of Maduro, but this wasn’t the way to go about things, and God only knows how it’s going to end. I hope without massive casualties in Venezuela, but I suspect it will be something to that tune.

            By who and how?

            USA’s military command seems to follow the order (illegals AND stupid) of this insane person in power, and he’s insane enough to order a nuke attack (I’m sure he’s dreaming about it)

            you cannot expect any other sane country to take a risk of nuclear war. The solution has to come from inside the USA

          Yeah. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’re getting an international response of the same magnitude as Saddam got.

      False. Oil is like the only thing right now that is actually cheap as fuck.

      We are going to war over a need to distract from the Epstein Files.

      The entire Venezuela story is just a subsection of the Epstein Files story. You are still watching the Epstein Files story.
