So far, he doesn't have the oil. And the "Maduro regime" still has control of country. I'm sure there's infighting about who sits in the big boy chair now, but nobody at the Table is considering it to be Trump. He's got a long way to go before reaching that point.

So be warned if you buy something from Japan and the seller says "no tariff fee" and you look it up and agree... The shipping company might charge you anyway just to cover their butts if something changes. Nobody has any idea what is and isn't from minute to minute.

You shouldnt have to deal with this with Amazon, since at the worst the factor it into price. But if you're the importer thru FedEx, UPS or DHL... You pay tariff + admin fees. I already done it twice. Once from Germany and the other Japan and there's not supposed to be a tariff from Japan.
Everything is diversion. Perhaps the timing of this illegal attack on Venezuela is to direct people away from Tariff bills they are now receiving. Here is mine. If you ordered online and the company used FEDEX, UPS, or Amazon to send to you, get ready for your tariff charge.

She's going to fuck this up. Drop the "terrorism" crap and just go for trafficking. And "possession of machine guns?" I mean, the guy was in possession of F-16s and cruise missiles. She fucks it up and he walks.

A president (any president) has HUGE amounts of authority to decide what and who is and isn't a threat to national security, pertaining to any foreign entity. Killing the Iranian general in Iraq was a war crime. I think Congress gives him authorization here and moves on.

There "might" be a loose argument here for China because technically Taiwan is a breakaway with the ROC. But Putin still doesn't have a leg to stand on because Zelensky is the legitimate President of Ukraine and Russia did sign an agreement that decided their borders in the 90s.

Why Trump is so hooked on Putin, but hates Putin's friends (Maduro, Iranian Regime) is a very strange dynamic. Maduro also fits his strongman persona. He'll salute a dictator in North Korea, yet topple one in South America.
It's really fucking weird. But he's right about Venezuela/Iran.

I don't get the lying. Just be straight with People. Say... Maduro lost the election. That's the legitimate president over there. They've asked for our help to restore democracy and we're going to give it, in return our oil companies are going to work together.... A little honesty goes a long way.
Not long ago, they denied this was about regime change. IT. WAS. ABOUT. REGIME. CHANGE.

People have to remember, Maduro lost the election. He had the support of senior military leadership because he turned his head as they were committing crimes. They tolerated each other, so he stole the election and they were happy about it. He's the first half of this. They're the second.
I am sure. It's a military action, period. Clinton even used it a half dozen times (I remember, because I was involved). They also didn't kidnap the president of a sovereign nation. They kidnapped a squatter living in the house of the president of a sovereign nation.

That said, UN may see it differently if it didn't have the authorization of the UN Security Council. But there is a difference in international law and domestic law. Per domestic law, the operation is legal. But wont be if we stay longer than 60 days without additional authorization from Congress.

The War Powers Act (1973) gives POTUS authorization to use the US military in hostilities as long as Congress is notified within 48 hours and doesn't extend longer than 60-days. So, it already has the full approval of Congress. I wore a uniform for a very long time.

If our military planners are smart... they're pulling back right now. They've got Maduro, now take a step back and don't give anyone a target to shoot at -- win the people.
🇻🇪 Venezuelan Minister of Interior Diosdado Cabello:
Trust the leadership and remain calm. Do not fall into despair or aid the enemy. This is not our first struggle—we have faced attacks before and endured.
Beyond any individual, there is an organized people who know what must be done.

I think that this was done with the blessing of the legitimate election winner and that "no civs" was the deal. It would be VERY difficult to ever gain the trust of the People if someone who won an election authorized a foreign military to target anything near civilians.

As interesting as it is, Trump just defeated the very situation that he wants to become. Let him steal the next election and turn the USA into a giant crime spree and take away the rights of the People and then you'll understand why do it all.

We amazingly didn't even crash a helicopter (that's huge). There doesn't appear to be any US or civilian casualties, at least not yet reported that I'm aware of. Maduro is out. I don't know why we couldn't have done this in the first place instead of blowing up little boats and killing civs.

I think Cuba, Bolivia, Russia, Iran, North Korea and China the only countries that recognized him as the legitimate President. So, if the US Government had an agreement with the legitimate President to get a squatter out; it probably won't have "serious" consequences. Maybe some stern words...

Interesting photo because that has to be the airport in Caracas. That plane isn't sitting on a carrier deck.

I think Maduro didn't have full control over "his" military. I think they tolerated each other. There are a few who are no doubt involved in some very bad things and he overlooked it and because he did, they decided he could remain El Presidente. He's gone and they still have ambitions.

Sources in the Venezuela opposition tell Sky News that tonight’s operation to “capture” Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, was part of a “negotiated exit” between Maduro and the United States.
