I would like to live in a kind world without evil leaders. Without the cruelty of war, the killing of children, because of One Fascist Leader who believes only in himself and no others.

As a justification for war, Trump claims Venezuela "stole" US oil and infrastructure. That is, of course, a lie.

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

MEXICO CARTELS.
Sinaloa Cartel: the world's most powerful

Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG):

Los Zetas (and remnants)

Juárez Cartel & Tijuana Cartel (Arellano Félix)

La Familia Michoacana & Knights Templar: Evolved into smaller, regional factions.

Mexico has dozens of active drug cartels with a few major players like the Sinaloa Cartel & CJNG dominating, alongside numerous smaller, local factions (e.g., Gulf Cartel, Tijuana, Juárez, La Familia, Los Zetas remnants) constantly fighting for territory.

Something’s going to have to be done with Mexico -Trump

💭 T: It wouldn’t cost us anything - the money coming out of the ground is substantial

Fact of the Day: US analysts say Fentanyl is almost entirely produced in Mexico, where cartels such as the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation synthesize it using precursor chemicals imported from China. Mexico is the primary exporter of the drug to the US.

It’s not about drugs folks.

yeah the DSA IC doesn’t look so batshit insane now that Venezuela has been couped and we’re watching the president debate how he will pillage the corpse while openly vocalizing Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico as next
I remember at that DSA convention that was held virtually, I voted against various resolutions calling for greater support for Cuba & Venezuela, bc at the time, their own leaders seemed like greater threats to their respective populaces than the US did. My calculus on this issue has since changed.

A key question is ‘whether Trump’s appetite for military adventurism will continue to spread. He has advertised designs on Canada, Panama, Greenland and the Gaza Strip. On Saturday, he implied Mexico was also in his sights’

when trump inevitably begins to target mexico, remember this:

-it's literally just for oil and natural resources
-his cartel excuse is a sham, they'll happily arm and fund any organization that will keep mexico unstable just so they can pretend to care and extend their power

👇This one statement tells you everything you need to know about Starmer, absolutely disgusting from a British PM. We need to make a stand against Trump, because where will he attack next; Canada, Mexico or Greenland?

Where is the proof of drugs? Trump will take the drugs.
He went to Fort Knox, we heard nothing about that.
Trump steals children with Epstein, he loves sex with girls.
Creepy Republicans are so afraid of Trump and his way of getting rid of them with guns, he is President we have not REMOVED

Canada’s response to today’s events was astonishingly mealy-mouthed for a country recently threatened with annexation; definitely so when compared with Mexico’s or France’s.

The trump regime released in early Dec, the NSS (which no one is talking about). Trump wants to take over the western hemisphere, including Latin America, so it’s not surprising that he wants the US to run Venezuela & threaten Colombia, Cuba, & Mexico. Congress get off your butt and do something!
