As Trump assembles a team of pro-war hardliners, concerns grow in Caracas that the administration could pursue military action against Venezuela, including an Iraq-style invasion., Erik Prince Venezuela, Juan Guaidó parallel government, Marco Rubio Secretary of State, Operation Gideon Bay of Piglets, Trump Venezuela policy, U.S. intervention in Venezuela, Venezuela BRICS alliance, Venezuela sanctions impact, Venezuela U.S. relations, Venezuelan civilian militias,
USA was a world stabilizer. 1 trump term and a quiet Biden follow up and we have Russia and Israel losing their damn minds. Even N Korea is marching.
And why not? Who will stop them? China amassing around Thailand per a couple articles.
Impulsive. With a “I do what I want.” slogan is the new USA example. The world will follow. The USA guardrails were only broken the first Trump term and only the boldest broke through. Now they’re completely off. Anything could happen.
Between this and our internal rage regarding healthcare and money, I’m not feeling optimistic about the next few years.
this is the kind of comment that would make perfect sense of all history began in 2016
Do you really, really believes that?
Threat and diplomacy both, yeah. Leader of the free world is a title we used to wear, for good or ill. On a side note, Israel is what we raised them to be. The most colonial of the colonialists backed them and still are. Britain just sent them more weapons. Tempered by Abrahamic religion and modern tech, ofc Israel is even more violent.
It’s complex, but the base element is there’s a hole where the USA once stood. And the example of leadership is now no longer normal, but an impulsive fuck with two middle fingers in the air saying “I do what I want.” Not FDR, or Kennedy, or even Obama, but the impulsive fuck who can’t even ring the stock exchange bell outside the paradigm of a 7 year old. There’s permissiveness in that.
You’re backing my point. I’m not saying it’s all positive. Remember what happened in the Middle East when Saddam was removed.
Do you have any idea how much of the implementation of Saddam and the war to overthrow him were designed by the US State Department? How many war crimes the US committed against the civilians living in the middle east during those wars?

Oh yes. One of my Family members was obsessed with that bit of history and still believes Cheney might be the antichrist.
Love or hate it’s still a power vacuum.
Why would I love imperialism and war crimes responsible for the deaths of millions?
