Venezuela

[Meekly_Anna]

This reads less like analysis and more like someone feverishly typing every geopolitical cliché they’ve ever heard. You stitched together January 6th, China, Venezuela, and a doomsday currency dump like a conspiracy quilting party.

This is economic fan-fiction. The dollar didn’t lose global dominance under Trump, and China dumping its reserves would nuke its own economy long before it dented ours, but keep pretending Beijing is waiting to commit financial suicide just to prove your slogan about a BS "Reign of Error."

Your wishful thinking is noted.
But it's only that.

I.e. - the other guys did shit I hate so that makes this ok

The fact is, the right of the President to act alone in the national security interest of the United States goes back as far a Thomas Jefferson and the doctrine of doing so in this hemisphere goes back to Monroe.

Take the lesson and be thankful for the instruction. You could sneak off with at least a small portion of an ass cheek intact.

Think about the ovarian outrage these two would have had to endure, if having had to live through all of this:

• Dominican Republic Intervention (1965) – Johnson
• Cambodia & Laos Bombing (1964–1973) – Johnson/Nixon
• Iran Hostage Rescue Attempt (1980) – Carter
• Grenada Invasion (1983) – Reagan
• Lebanon Peacekeeping / Beirut deployment (1982–1984) – Reagan
• Libya Airstrikes (1986) – Reagan
• Panama Invasion (1989) – George H.W. Bush
• Gulf War (1991) – George H.W. Bush (Congressional authorization, but no declaration of war)
• Somalia Intervention (1992–1994) – George H.W. Bush / Clinton
• Bosnia Operations (1995) – Clinton
• Kosovo Air Campaign (1999) – Clinton
• Afghanistan War (2001–) – Bush (authorization, but no declaration of war)
• Iraq War (2003–) – Bush (authorization, but no declaration of war)
• Pakistan Drone Strikes (2004–) – Bush/Obama/Trump
• Libya Intervention (2011) – Obama
• Syria Airstrikes (2014–) – Obama/Trump
• Yemen Operations (various) – Obama/Trump/Biden
• Counter-ISIS Operations worldwide (2014–) – Obama/Trump/Biden
• Targeted Strike on Qassem Soleimani (2020) – Trump
• Red Sea / Houthi Strikes (2023–) – Biden
• Caribbean maritime strikes on drug-trafficking vessels (2025) – Trump (as reported)

Reichguide comparing what DonOld is doing with Venezuela to previous strikes on those who had ACTUALLY attacked America, our allies, or our interests is like comparing cherries to watermelons.

The Venezuelan boats could have been interdicted and searched by the Navy, providing proof for DonOld’s claims if any proof existed.

And the closing of Venezuelan airspace in anticipation of…something??? WTAF?!?!?

This is unprecedented; full stop.



Hope that ^ helps.

Lol...fuck off

War is war. We send our kids to die for things that are imprtant to us.

 

[Rebel5soul]

Only Congress has the power to declare war. Trump’s attacks on Venezuela exceed his authority as Commander-in-Chief.

What attacks? Be specific.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

What attacks? Be specific.

The destruction of alleged drug-running boats in the Caribbean.

 

[Rebel5soul]

The destruction of alleged drug-running boats in the Caribbean.

Has Venezuela lodged a formal complaint? Why not? Could it be that to do so would be a confirmation that those boats were official registered Venezuelan boats thereby confirming that they are a narco-state? And they are not 'alleged.' We dispatch boats to the scene to clean up the flotsam and jetsam.

They are drug traffickers operating in international waters.

 

[briancamdudetenger2018]

why didnt petey hedgehog sent a 1980s action movie style speical forces to find the boats with drugs on it and blow them up themselves

 

[MajorRewrite]

Where have all the “anti-war” MAGAs gone? Did ICE deport them?

So much hate & violence from the MAGAts…

Simple, boots on the ground mean potential lost lives on our side no matter how excellently the op is planned. Not to mention that it requires our forces to invade foreign soil.

Stupid to do that when a kinetic strike at sea in international waters is clean and risks no US lives.

Venezuela seems to have been equipped with Chinese anti-aircraft system. Chinese melon-eating people (aka busybodies) are now watching closely over the upcoming storm to confirm whether the missiles sold to Venezuela are better than those to Pakistan, which has achieved in May the score 6:0 during the airbattle with India.
What are you still waiting for? Charge forward.

And those missile systems are how superior to the S-300 - S-400 systems sold to the Iranians?

There is no evidence that the people killed in the military strike were drug traffickers. Donald Trump exceeded his authority and needs to resign or be impeached and removed from office.

Lol...fuck off

Translation: I just got schooled.

So stemming 300,000 drug deaths a year isn't important to you? Are you dependent on the drug business?

Charge forward’? Calm down, Sun Tzu. The U.S. has been lighting up those Venezuelan radars for days, if anything kicks off, those Chinese hand-me-down systems will be the first smears on the ground. China’s ‘melon-eaters’ can watch all they want, but they’re probably not going to get the missile performance review they’re fantasizing about.

As is your lack of energy and intellect.

Nope

Have you actually looked at the number of drug deaths and determined that this action has reduced them?

 

[Meekly_Anna]

As is your lack of energy and intellect.

The mere inquiry as to my vigour is, I daresay, entirely redundant, given that a descendant of individuals, whose primary claim to fame was a colonial deportation owing to their regrettable venereal afflictions, could scarcely be expected to keep pace with me.
Unlike my fellow contributors to this rather tedious discourse—and I refer here primarily to you—I maintain a most rigorous regimen of physical conditioning and devote a substantial portion of my time to communal betterment. The latter, I might add, is often pursued through rather arduous physical endeavour.
Regarding the matter of our respective intellectual capacities, I shall concede your point: your own could hardly be deemed adequate when placed alongside mine. However, any attentive reader of these missives has, I suspect, been acutely aware for some time now that the deficit, plainly, does not reside with me.

 

[Rightguide]

Nope


Have you actually looked at the number of drug deaths and determined that this action has reduced them?

Have you looked at the numbers? Because drug deaths aren’t going to drop in a week just because the U.S. finally stopped treating cartel-run waterways like a protected migration route. Cutting off supply chains always hits downstream weeks or months later, that’s how interdiction works. What matters is that for the first time in years, traffickers are losing boats, product, and safe corridors. You don’t measure success by the next morning’s overdose report; you measure it by how long the cartels keep bleeding before they break.

Yes, they haven't dropped.

Lol

Of course

If drug deaths drop, it's because of your guy
If they rise, it's because of mine.

I know how numbers work for ya

Could you spare us the Dickens-reject monologue, professor? Your entire post reads like ChatGPT had a stroke while trying to sound aristocratic. The only "rigorous regimen" you maintain is flexing imaginary muscles in a forum thread where nobody asked for your autobiography. And as for your intellect, if pompous verbosity counted as IQ, you’d be a genius; unfortunately for you, it doesn’t. Underneath all that costume-drama prose is the same thing everyone already sees: a fragile ego, desperately trying to pass itself off as refinement.
