I see that whole "running Venezuela" thing is going super well

If US service members choose to obey clearly illegal orders, they only have themselves to blame when they end up getting murdered by a gang of teenagers and a rogue ex-cop in Hawkins, Indiana.

Malignant narcissism is a trip.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Within the past year he has also threatened to attack Canada. Evil and insane.
Trump just issued threats to attack Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Iran, Venezuela (again), and Greenland (which would be an attack on all of NATO).

Something that seems to be missing from mainstream news coverage just lately is the simple truth that attacking people and stealing their shit is wrong.

It's not a feather in your cap, or a jewel in the crown or whatever. It's immoral, and a crime. Say it.

Me sneaking upstairs at Wyrm's Rock during Gortash's inauguration to quietly disable his personal security: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me getting spotted and suddenly having to fight four Steel Watchers simultaneously: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Geopolitics as extortion racket. Crooks gonna crook.
Here’s a gift link to the New York Times’ story, which is refreshingly frank.
Rubio Stresses U.S. Plan to Coerce Venezuela Rather Than Govern It

Translation: "Nice regime ya got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it."
Marco Rubio: "It had to be done. And it's been done. And I assure you the people left behind in Venezuela now that are in charge of the police and everything else, I assure you they are gonna probably be a lot more compliant than Maduro was as a result of this."

Maduro was “dancing in front of Venezuelan students… and mimicking Trump’s double-fist pumping dance move. Trump was reportedly not amused, and the dancing is said to have contributed to the decision to remove him from power.”

Suddenly it all makes sense!

I think it's a shame kids aren't exposed to boring old black and white films on TV at Christmas any more. If you're younger than me (an ancient man of the hills) BBC iPlayer currently has Bringing Up Baby, Some Like It Hot, Double Indemnity, The Third Man & Suspicion. All bangers!

"We're going to run the country..."

Welp, looks like the US just bought itself a whole new quagmire. Good luck trying to protect thousands of miles of exposed oil pipelines from insurgents.

Good morning. If you're just joining us, Trump just kidnapped the President of Venezuela.

“They took all of our oil not that long ago. And we want it back." -- Donald Trump, December 2025

But sure, let's pretend it's about democracy or drug smuggling or whatever the story is this week.

Looks like a targeted operation to grab Maduro. #Venezuela

I did not know about the Cuba connection. #Venezuela
Good Morning and welcome to another episode of regime change by the USA. The US seems to be militarily trying to get rid of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro right now. There are reports of US ground forces in action. However, watch the Cubans too. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

In James Cameron’s Avatar, the hero and villain are both veterans of America’s resource wars in #Nigeria and #Venezuela.

Pure fantasy, right…?
