Deze inval in Venezuela heeft een opmerkelijk precedent. Het is wat Saddam Hoessein deed in 1990 in Koeweit. Dit leidde tot de operatie Desert Storm en de bevrijding van het bezette en geplunderde land en uiteindelijk tot de invasie in 2003 en de val van het regime in Bagdad.

Q: You said that Maduro is responsible for drug trafficking. You recently pardoned the former president of Honduras who was convicted of drug trafficking. How are these situations different?
TRUMP: This was a man who was persecuted very unfairly by Biden. Obviously the people liked what I did

Trump is weer terug in de Poetin-groef. Het is de schuld van Biden en ook Kyiw deugt niet.
Trump on Russia-Ukraine: "They both have done some pretty bad things. Look, that's Biden's war. That's not my war."

Weer geen Vance in de buurt. Dit begint nogal op te vallen.
Trump ignores a question about his conversations with JD Vance (if there were any) as he walks away

Q: Is it possible that the US ends up administering Venezuela for years?
TRUMP: Well, you know, it won't cost us anything because the money coming out of the ground is very substantial

Trump: "They came from mental institutions and insane asylums. They came from prisons and jails. The reason I say both, they sound similar -- actually 'prisons' a little bit more, a little bit more hostile. A little bit tougher. A mental institution isn't as tough as an insane asylum."

Trump brain flits to Washington DC: "We haven't had a killing. We had the terrorist attack a few weeks ago. Uhhh. A little bit of a different kind of a threat. But we haven't had a killing in a long period of time. Six, seven months." (This is a lie.)

He's literally set himself up as Ruler of Venezuela.
George Bush at least got a congressional resolution and an attempt at a UN resolution before invading and occupying Iraq.
Trump didn't even consult with the Gang of 8 in Congress and now declares himself the ruler. Sheesh.
