The fascists know they are building the framework to do strikes at home as much as they are building the infrastructure for transnational terrorism and they are salivating that they are building the systems needed to kill Americans who disagree with their fascist goals.

Imagine if 40 innocent people were to be killed in the arrest of each person involved in supplying cocaine, a drug that has been illegally used by more than 40 million Americans in their lifetimes.
At least 40 people were killed in the U.S. attack on Venezuela early Saturday, including military personnel and civilians, according to a senior Venezuelan official.
Venezuelan Official Says at Least 40 People Were Killed in U.S. Attack
The official said the dead included civilians and military personnel. At least one of the civilians was killed in a U.S. airstrike outside of Caracas, according to her family.

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

by Trump's own admission, Maduro seemed to have attempted massive overtures in the last few days and he simply wasn't interested. Likewise Iran by almost all accounts approached the issue of deescalating and discussing a new nuclear deal in good faith and Trump was simply not interested.

It’s literally hitlerite behavior from this administration. Stop appeasing the United States
For other countries it is unfortunately seriously worth thinking about how in two successive cases in a row the United States seemingly has used negotiations as a feint from the very beginning while preparing devastating and senseless bombing campaigns which they execute no matter what

President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

My bold prediction is that if Maduro goes to trial he is acquitted because those charges are crazy balls and whoever made this bet goes to jail for light treason
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

For nonlawyers, it’s worth noting that statements like this have—as a formal matter—important legal effects as a matter of international law. If such statements are *not* made, and in volume, future arguments that Trump’s invasion sets a legal precedent will stand on much firmer legal ground.

This is why it's also important for domestic elected officials to condemn it as "illegal" and not just gripe about consultation. This is the stuff upon which international law is built. The prohibition against piracy wasn't some entity declaring it illegal worldwide, it was a custom built over time.
