Ok_Zombie_8354@reddit

Calm down no one is going to war... Geez, lol

It’s part of a counter-narcotics mission after cartels like Tren de Aragua were labeled terrorist groups.

It also ties into the $50M bounty the U.S. put on Maduro, accusing him of running a narco-state.

It’s about stopping fentanyl and drug trafficking.

[-]

You say that but where are the cartel arrests that ICE is supposedly conducting in the states? Big drug busts? The resounding majority of people being locked up by ICE have never committed a crime or committed a misdemeanor crime (that they are quick to call 'results').

Also remember the Monroe Doctrine is still technically in effect to this day and is the cornerstone reminder of American Imperialism in Latin America but here we are sending the military into latin american countries again.... Remember, the Spanish-American War was actually a 'good ol' war' that a populist president waged.

It's not a war. It's an invasion for Venezuelas oil resources. So he can lie about his no war bs

[-]

Venezuela doesn’t have good oil IIRC, its not “sweet oil”

Ahh, yes. Oil Liberation. Makes sense.

Operation Independent Liberation. Or OIL, for short.

Yeah, no one actually believes that. It was a scam to keep liberals from voting. Theyre fine with child rape, they don't care about banal hypocrisy

[-]

Far_Eye6555@reddit

Yes blame liberals for conservatives for voting for Trump. Brilliant

[-]

Malcolm_Morin@reddit

Liberals keep trying to go high, while Conservatives have dug below bedrock and are actively making their way to the core.

They're treating politics like it's fair on both sides. The reality is that one side is trying to play by rules that no longer exist, and the other side is trying to kill them at the same time.

Liberals, at least those in government, need to stop trying to be friends with the people that want them dead.

[-]

Big_Fortune_4574@reddit

The issue is more that liberals don’t go high enough. The bad guys will always call out the slightest hypocrisy in the “good” guys and use it to turn everyone against them. So either you are squeaky clean or the people who’ve dug their way down to hell will always beat you. Goodness doesnt do halfsies.

Big_Fortune_4574@reddit

Your set of possible views is very constrained and you are trying to fit me into a box I don’t fit in. I was merely pointing out that the democrats are weak and corrupt. Fascist movements easily steamroll over weak democracies.

Your set of possible views is very constrained and you are trying to fit me into a box I don’t fit in.

Do you believe in and support the use of a democratic government? Then you're a liberal. It's an incredibly large box that you absolutely fit into. But give off you unique little flower.

[-]

Big_Fortune_4574@reddit

You’re displaying your own lack of understanding. Liberalism is about way more than democracy. The Greeks weren’t liberals. And unless you’re the most hard liner socialist then the Democratic Socialists aren’t liberals.

[-]

Old-Cheesecake-9277@reddit

And yet, Democracies, as we know them (post the Enlightenment era "Liberal Democracies") are characterized by a focus on individual rights protected by the government. That came from liberalism. Conservative to Social Democrats as a spectrum fall under this classification.

[-]

Big_Fortune_4574@reddit

I’m not entirely sure what your point is—you’re trying to redefine a word to suit your views that already has a clear meaning. We’re arguing about a word for some reason, but your reason for using the word “liberal” like a swear word in the first place remains unclear. I assume you are some flavor of socialist because only socialists and conservatives use it that way, but hell if I know what your deal is. If you want I know what I believe, I believe in ignoring people who fight about stupid stuff because they’re angry. So I’m gonna do that.

[-]

Old-Cheesecake-9277@reddit

Look, we both know there's a wide spectrum of political beliefs. But your Aaron Sorkin level comment is squarely in the liberal spectrum of thought. I don't care how you identify or what your pronouns are, your comment was liberal brainrot.

[-]

Ricky_Ventura@reddit

Better than supporting a child rapist honestly.

[-]

Old-Cheesecake-9277@reddit

Couldn't agree more. But if your solution is "the opposition party has to be perfect" then what are we even talking about? How bout we start discussing how Republicans are worse and more corrupt than their Democrat counterparts, in every ethical situation? Rather than expecting something unattainable within the current structure of our government?

When they have enough, they will start to bully smaller countries (likely by false flag, a classic) to create puppet states.

Maduro Calls Netanyahu “21st Century Hitler,” Condemns Israeli Strikes on Iran

https://iranpress.com/content/306522/maduro-calls-netanyahu-%E2%80%9C21st-century-hitler%E2%80%9D-condemns-israeli-strikes-iran

Venezuela’s president on Wednesday called on the Jewish people to move to stop Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid the escalating conflict sparked by Israel's attacks on Iran.

In an address on state broadcaster VTV, Nicolas Maduro appealed directly to Jewish communities worldwide, including those in the occupied Palestinian territories and within Israel, urging them to take action against what he described as Netanyahu’s destructive policies.

Evoking his Sephardic Jewish background, he said: "In the name of the heritage that flows through my veins, I call upon the noble Jewish people around the world, in the occupied Palestinian territories, and within the borders of the State of Israel: You must stop this war. You must stop Netanyahu and put an end to this hellish war madness with neighboring countries – the madness of trying to conquer and colonize all of the Middle East and Western Asia.”

On Sunday, Maduro had condemned Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank, saying: "A massacre was allowed to take place against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, and the world remained silent. They were armed, given money, planes, and missiles – so they could kill thousands of children, women, men, and the elderly."

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/venezuelan-president-urges-jewish-people-to-stop-netanyahu/3604079

His predecessor was quite outspoken about Israel too. I have to assume that played a role in why the US messed with their economy so much.

WTF. We don’t need another war.. oh suddenly gets it. In a war the midterms can be canceled. Here come the war!! How much money is this costing Ug and how many life’s. After we blow them up and leave they go back to being Venezuelans just slightly damaged. And the republicans hold the house! Like a bad video game I wouldn’t buy.
