i know this is the kind of thing people say you post for clout but i honestly think this makes the planning for the iraq war seem like a model of professionalism and responsibility.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

So does Trump think this is like Crusader Kings where if you capture the enemy leader you get to press all your war goals or something?

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.
Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.
Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”
