It’s darkly humorous he can’t even muster the ability to give some lip service to democracy or allowing the Venezuelan people to choose their leader.
FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?
TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision

The great isolationist ‘America First’ GOP President Donald Trump has in less than a year in office declared himself the ‘owner’ of Gaza and the ‘ruler’ of Venezuela.

Hey folks: if you are represented by Democrats in Congress, now is the time to ask your representative if they support impeachment.
If the answer is anything but "yes", the next step is to consider voting against them in the upcoming Democratic primary.

I remember the lead up to the Iraq war and being frustrated with people conflating Saddam and 9/11. But at least thought that after 20 years of that we’d at least not do it again.
And yet here we are with again with Fentanyl deaths used to justify a war with Venezuela which doesn’t make fentanyl.

rubio pretty much believes in a reverse domino theory for latin america and since he is effectively running foreign policy in the region i would expect him to see cuba as his next target
And I don’t want to sound conspiratorial, but if they feel like they can do this in Venezuela without any serious consequences, they’re absolutely going to try it in Cuba too.

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.
This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

“Trump's Venezuela Attack: It’s All About the Oil, Stupid!”
Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling Nicolás Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves.

There would appear to be very little difference in the manor, execution and legality between Putin's "Special Military Operation" against Ukraine and Trump's attack on Venezuela.
Could Trump's appearance of supporting Putin against Ukraine, be about to be rewarded at the expense of Ukraine?

I’m thinking this morning about all the people I spoke to last year who were absolutely convinced, and tried to convince me, that Trump would be antiwar compared to Biden and Harris.
In the past week alone he has attacked Nigeria and then Venezuela and also threatened to attack Iran (again).

He's literally set himself up as Ruler of Venezuela.
George Bush at least got a congressional resolution and an attempt at a UN resolution before invading and occupying Iraq.
Trump didn't even consult with the Gang of 8 in Congress and now declares himself the ruler. Sheesh.

Trump has just announced he is going to RUN another country (with or without boots on the ground) to ensure oil flows for US companies.
Yes, there’s still people - including in Latin America - pretending this is about Maduro winning elections or not.
How is a Trump occupation any more legitimate?
