The operations was not revealed to the american people..

Youve become so partisan that your brain is blocked.

We hope Venezuelan turns into Norway with the supposed liberation..havent we seen this before?
Shame on you. The Venezuela people are happy and are celebrating while you are grovelling. You know Jimmy Carter epic failure to rescue the American hostages in Tehran caused him to lose the presidency by a bigger margin.

BOOM! Venezuelan man GOES OFF on the Left for protesting Donald Trump’s arrest of Maduro

[Venezuelan Man]: "Ah, Venezuela. People are criticizing Trump for what he did in Venezuela. They say he bombed and kidnapped our president. No, no, no, no, no. Let me be clear. That man was never our president. He's a dictator. We didn’t— we didn’t vote for him. Our elections were stolen. And when we protested, our kids were sent to prison. Minors were tortured. Girls were forced to prostitute themselves in prisons just to get food, to get a piece of bread.

And where were all of you then? Where were all of you liberals? Where were all of you? Where were all of you? You said nothing. You did nothing. But now you suddenly care about international law? I mean, now you all talk about human rights?

Maduro didn’t lead Venezuela. He kidnapped an entire country. So, no, Trump didn’t kidnap anyone. No, he did not. He removed our kidnapper. And for that, we're thankful.

You can debate politics all you want, but don’t tell Venezuelans—do not tell Venezuelans—how to feel about being free from a dictatorship."

What a farce! International Piracy, Neo-colonialism, Monroe Doctrine, Anti-Palestinian cause and American Imperialism, all wrapped up in one single event.

Whilst all this was going on, strikes were ordered on Nigeria and Somalia as well.

Invasion and kidnap of another country's Head of State and Wife, under false premise and Warrants.

Invented charges after the fact.

Hypocrisy and incompetence also on full display.

All of this at the same time.
He was indicted in 2020 at the SDNY.
Why didn't Biden throw out the indictment if there was no substance.

Just like the way a lot of Libyan were ecstatic when Gadaffi was overthrown.

They'll shine their teeth now only to find out later that life doesnt get any better with capitalists, money hungry commercial systems and thieving world powers.

I hope Venezuela turns into Norway in the coming years..

cheesy
As usual looking into the future. Trump will cause this and that.
You should really be ashamed that the operation could not be revealed to democrats because they would have straight on leaked it hoping for a catastrophic failure.
That's how low democrat and their supporters have fallen.

they are stabilizing it. the VP is working with the US for transition of power which is why the US did not go for him.
Trump is the most unpredictable president ever in his foreign policy dealings. Selfish as he is to America interest, I think every country needs a president who looks after his nation first.

---How can you explain this when Felon 47 said that the nobel peace winner María Corina Machado is "not respected", and so the US will run Venezuela---Felon 47 is such a narcissist to allow her to rule the country---

---So it is all about the oil after all---


https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/trump-says-us-oil-companies-will-spend-billions-venezuela-2026-01-03/?utm_source=reddit.com
It's about oil. Secure the world's largest reserves away from China.
She won the election,it's in the best interest for her to be installed.Trump is known for saying anything,didn't he have a spat with Elon Musk,and now they are on talking terms.

Russia and China were building military capabilities in Venezuela ,just next to America and have to be stopped. NATO wants all those countries surrounding Russia onboard .I'll call it hypocrisy on America part,they want no enemy beacheads anywhere near their borders.

Imagine Venezuelan are happy but Leftists are sad about events in Venezuela

Very soon Maduro will become Maryland father or Caracas dad
The liberal and their media act in unison whenever it comes to Trump. Never report on anything positive about him. Create the impression that he is a monster.
Venezuelans are dancing on the streets in joy ,yet liberals are talking about imperial greed and war crimes.

Surgical execution,mission accomplished no American casualties.

Exactly. I also really feel for the Iranian people under their theocracy.Trunp should have allowed IDF to take out the Ayatollahs. Ayatollahs not the Ayatollah.
Iran if run by a good government would easily equal first world countries .

Yes ,he owns Dominion Rigging Systems Incorporated. He reveals how they used the Serbian office of Smartmatic /Dominion to steal 2020.elections and I'll be Okay with a pardon.
Democrats are deathly afraid he will.plea deal for a.lesser sentence if he can expose how Dominion machines rigs elections. He is a cornered rat with nothing to lose right now.
Democrats were like "We cane we saw he died" over Obama murdering Gadaffi.

How did Chile end ?

Or is Chile an "islamic" country too?

Make una dey use una brain
Venezuela already has a govt in waiting.They had all flown out to escort the Nobel winner.
Maduro had been offered the chance to step down and go to Russia or china. He refused. Now he is in a US prison , for the rest of his life. Hubris is his downfall.

+ I never expect the mainstream media to ever support Trump on anything.

What does this bode for the next U.S. election?
With the likelihood of war-crimes charges hanging over Trumps head , should Democrats win, how realistic is the prospect of a fair election with the republicans now in office ?

The promise—or threat—made by Steve Bannon about Donald Trump securing a third term now appears disturbingly plausible.

Ho boy, are ordinary Americans this close to being royally bleeped.
Obama killing of Gadaffi is worse. How many people died before they got him.
I don't see any war crime. Leaders have been toppled in violent uprising from time immemorial.thia one was matched from.his bedroom.

If America gets to control Venezuela oil ,then the middle east will have to go begging him.
I'm told Trump is trying to get an offshore Nigeria oil deal .It's shorter than the ME and there are no tough headed belligerents like the Iranisns,Houthi and Sonali pirates.

With Nigeria ,West Africa and Venezuela,the ME loses leverage with America.
Probably they will add a Trump name to the Bujr Khalifa

Terrorist Americans have started bombing a peaceful country again.

Venezuela a peaceful country barely on the news for anything bad.
I had mentioned weeks ago that the target is China. Venezuela owes America more than it owes to China .
Granted most cocaine from Colombia goes through Mexico,the one to the east coast( 30% ) goes through 1800km of Venezuela coast line.
China is now more isolated . It lends billions to Venezuela,then gets cheap oil in return.
I highly doubt Venezuelans are in the streets protesting.

Last election,exit polls had him thoroughly beaten only for him to declared the winner.
The majority din't want Maduro.
The worst a new president will do is disband the army. It's very dangerous to have tens /hundreds of thousands disgruntled military trained soldiers jobless .
It happened in Iraq,those Baathists joined Zarqawi and later Al Baghdadi.

Maduro captured and flown to America to face charges.

Jack Smith deposition by the House committee.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24pm7H24xik

His case was dismissed by a foreign born Obama Judge Chutkan, by now it would be going on had he not won.

Jack Smith predicate is that people around Trump told him he had lost and he refused to believe them..Chief among them Traitor Pence. Jack smith argues that since Trump knew in his mind,he committed fraud on the people by insisting he was rigged out. With that argument Jack Smith claims trump lacked first amendment rights to protest the election.

Transcript here.
https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/2025-12/Smith-Depo-Transcript_Redacted-w-Errata.pdf

Jack Smith smith is cunning, ,he should have investigated Joe Biden win first.

If 100 people tell you a chicken is a frog ,that don't make it a frog.
Jack smith was going to prosecute what he thought was on Trump's mind based on what vampires like Pence and Bill Barr were telling him.

You claim you are cutting waste yet spending is higher than the wasteful people you took over from.
There is mandatory spending that grows every year.
Obamacare spending , that was invented by St Jesus of Chicago is one of them.

He is a nut job. He is no different from Candace and Alex Jones. Think about it, the job of the CIA is to infiltrate, I can make theories and claims as well.
A broken clock is right twice a day.

The existence of extensive CIA activities involving the recruitment of journalists and manipulation of media content during the Cold War is a documented historical fact, confirmed by congressional investigations and declassified documents.
The specifics of these activities were revealed during the 1975 Church Committee hearings and a 1977 Rolling Stone exposé by Carl Bernstein

The US economy is designed to run deficits exponentially. DOGE is still cutting wasteful contracts but not enough to reduce the debt
If Kamala had won the debt would be much more.
