  • I'm sure they paid off some collaborators on the ground but probably not anyone of consequence.

  • They aren't stupid they are just ideologues. They are the richest and most powerful people on earth and they got there because of their adherence to their nihilistic anti-morality. In their mind it is the only way anyone gains power.

    They thought they could topple Putin because they believed their own bullshit about him being a ruthless assassin. They never considered that he actually cared about Russians. trump thought he could bribe Kim Jong Un into giving up his nukes because they believed their own lies that he was a sadistic monarch who tortures and starves people for fun (like they do).

    They do have a lot of ways the can flex and most of them kill lots of people and their ability to throw money around is waning. They don't have a third move because diplomacy requires looking at the other party as equal.

  • "This is your brain on Great Man theory." Trump and co are all ayn rand style fascists. They have convinced themselves they are uber men who make the "hard decisions," and that rules and law are made for untermench.

    They think that Maduro is one of the uber men who thinks just like they do and if they bully him he'll crack like they all would. They see a strong man and think if they take him out everything around him will devolve into a feeding frenzy because that is what they would do.

    What they don't understand is that they aren't special. Maduro is strong because he helps his people be strong. trump and co are weak because they are all only looking out for themselves. Maduro has only one enemy, imperialism. trump and his kind have billions of enemies because in their mind everyone is waiting to stab them in the back and use their corpse to stand a few inches higher.

  • "I put the biggest armada ever in the Caribbean and all I got was a man in a blue sweatshirt"

  • It is kinda nice to have such a blatant and current example of the hypocrisy. Its one thing to point at the bombing of Yugoslavia or even Iraq 2 as an example of eu leaders hypocrisy. We are dealing with the very same individuals supporting what is quite undoubtedly unprovoked aggression in one instance and condemning what they say is unprovoked aggression in another instance.

  • directly kidnap a president is actually pretty novel, isn’t it?

    no not really. They did the same thing to Noriega in Panama right down to charging him with drug offenses. They also kidnapped Aristide from Haiti in 2004.

  • How did isisrael disable Iran's air defenses and kill dozens of nuclear scientists?

    Spies, Collaborators, Bribes, and a sneak attack.

    They smuggled in and/or bought enough men to assault Maduro's residence and kidnap him. They launched enough missiles and set up enough jammers to knock out the air defense installations so the helicopters could come in and pick him up.

  • Wait till you find out how detailed and organized the plan for the Bosnian genocide was. It was the 90s and before they even started they had lists not just of Muslims but of all the people who talked to Muslims. They knew how many washing machines and refrigerators there were and how many trucks they needed to haul them out of each village as they looted them.

  • Are you sure they aren't just AI trolls? There's a gussano in a small Facebook group I am in if there is a human behind it they are 100% working in a astroturfing factory and using canned lines.

  • The ethical thing to do is teach your parents to be pirates and cancel their subscription.

  • This is such a pathetic and weak post. The us navy is so scared they have to shackle and blindfold him. What do they think, Maduro is gonna turn into Harrison Ford and "Airforce One" their fucking boat? They better keep him shackled if they know what is good for them.

  • Mexico just put tariffs on china to suck up to usa. Sheinbaum is nice and all but she is a dem-suc and will do exactly what Kautsky did, she'll side with imperialists to protect the fatherland.

  • I hope usa becomes a graveyard for US soldiers. In my dream Russia gave Venezuela an oreshnik and they have targeted the Reddit astroturfing base in Florida.

  • Not likely. Russia and China can't project power on the other side of the world and certainly not right next to usa.

  • And Iran's nuclear program was "obliterated."

  • An invasion is done en mass and in the open with the intention of holding territory. This was a raid or an incursion.

  • I don't read/hear a statement from Kallas every day but every time I do, it is in the running for the stupidest thing I have read/heard that day. The only thing she is good for is reminding me that my brain is not yet cured of the habit of thinking sexist slurs.

  • They didn't "invade." They did an infiltration over time to to kidnap Maduro and then blew stuff up as cover for the extraction.

  • You could just say "years of ass kissing the imperial core."
