Please educate me without being disrespectful.

1. Why would US violate the international order, which the US largely created, by militarily and unilaterally attacking Venezuela, a sovereign state?

2. What law does the US rely on to kidnap a sitting President?

3. If drug was an issue, why has Trump not attacked Mexico, which has no oil and it’s close neighbour, as well as a big player in drug trafficking?

4. Why did Trump not get authorisation - thus violating US constitution - from the congress who constitutionally had to approve any US military kinetic action outside the country ?

5. When does it become acceptable that a country has to govern another country and still sit on their resources?

6. If drug was the issue, Why did Trump pardon a former president of Honduras who trafficked million of dollars worth of drugs into the US, convicted and serving jail?

7. Does Trump action supports or destroys how democracy works , which the US sells to the whole world?

lecowas:
That "whole president" ran a drug cartel like a common criminal, that whole president refused to hand over to opposition after losing the election, that whole president is a dictator who completely silenced every opposition.

The opposition leader had to disguise to leave the country to collect her Nobel peace prize, and finally the whole president was given multiple chance but thought Russia and China would help. So here we are and this is the story of Solomon Grundy Nicholas Maduro

Let’s assume everything you stated was right, will you say two wrongs make a right?

Am I the only person that detest Iyabo Ojo personality ?

America is going bankrupt.

Check their debt profile. It’s quite unsustainable.

They are looking for resources anywhere and everywhere to plug the dark hole.

Daylight robbery, it is

Buccalcavity2:
Shocking! So America should lift fingers on other countries? How's that different from alleged Maduro's sin? Make una dey think this things through.
This is a terrible precedence! Let nobody ask why Russia invades Ukraine nor China Taiwan. Its all bullshit!

Stop wasting your time on most people on this platform who know next to nothing.

Leave them to their ignorance.

FreeIgboho:
All due respect, I don't argue with clowns
2019!

Typical Nigerian.

Its on record for all to see your quality and level of intelligence.

When you are found out, admit and move on, instead of spewing falsehood.

FreeIgboho:
I know you are not stupid to count. Is February 2020 to August 2021 one year??

I will satisfy you, the "wise" one

What sayest thou?

FreeIgboho:
If you were not totally stupid you'd know that was DURRING the pull-out.
Repeat, US had not lost a single soldier in the year before starting their pull-out

How about this?
What sayest thou?

APOPTOSIS:
If you understand how the United States is built you won't be typing this.
That's the only country in the world built by every tribe on the planet.
Don'tbe shocked the U.S. could have more Cubans living in it than in the real Cuba itself
🤣🤣🤣. How can you fight a country built by everyone with every single tribe still residing in it?

I am an American.
So, who are you?

I am not pleased with the way my tax payer money is being spent.
You have no dog in the race. Rest!

FreeIgboho:
You don't know your stuff. US hadn't lost a single soldier in the year leading up to the pull out. Not one!

You that know your stuff, read the attached. Otondo

FreeIgboho:
Not if they went from poor to rich, which the will.
See below

Have Americans transitioned from poor to rich ?
Come to the States and see things for yourself.

You will be on the US soil, you will still be asking for a direction to your proverbial America.
Trump is now in the business of nation building. I laugh.

How is this America first?. He promised his followers there wont be any US intervention outside the US.

Trump is such a red-faced liar.

FreeIgboho:
Afghanistan is a much tougher country with suicide bombers, how come nobody "fought to death" until US decided to pull out because they were wasting too much resources occupying it?

The US pulled out because they were losing men and got frustrated.
Afghanistan was unwinnable for them.

Berankis:
You people are exaggerating this US. The same US that Chickens when it comes to Russia or China or North Korea. Why didn't they stop Russia from invading Ukraine then, even after luring Ukraine to a conflict and backing down when the show began. They know the countries they mess with and they know ones they can't fcukk with.
All the places they have done their criminal intervention, how many of it ended well?
This is how we praise nonsense and condone evil until we become victims.

Most of them have not owned a passport not to talk of getting into the US.

Too much Hollywood movie has finished them.

They are not done with Venezuela, they are already talking about Cuba.

This is how great power falls. US keep showing the signs.

FreeIgboho:
Not if they went from poor to rich, which the will.
See below

Don't be like this.

Even if someone kills you today (God forbids) , some people will celebrate.
I am talking of the real players who will fight to the death

FreeIgboho:
Yeah? Where were they all the time he was saying he'd do just this? Mind you there was no war. This was a military coup. Do militias spring up after military coups?

There was no coup. It was an invasion by the US.

You will see how this will play out.
Venezuelans will not allow Trump to steal their oil.

I was shocked to hear the supposed leader of the freeworld gloating about numbers of dead people in Venezuela.

How can any sane person defend or support this man?

splendournoni:
This is not Hollywood movie... I always keep telling people that don't understand what world power is, for so long the US under democrats have made US look weak.... The Technology, intelligence and military equipments of the US is more than what we could think of imagine...

In a short video of trump in his office he said "I'm afraid to see weapons the United states have and I pray we don't come where we need to use them"

Every country has this element of surprise.
US is a military heavy weight but China is fast catching up.

China has more naval ships than the US right now.

HacheNoire:
The country is going to degenerate! That’s how it plays out in every country.

That is definitely a constant. Different pro and anti militias will spring up!

Especially from Columbia who have perfected the art of Guerilla fighting.
If Trump thinks it will be as easy as he made it sound, he should think again.

Now the real war starts.

OriOko88:

When US is busy dolling out billions of dollars to poor countries for aids you think say dem dey do father Christmas? Na because of operations like this.

No country so far has dared threatened US on this Venezuela matter,they're very cautious of their statements. Even Russia is urging restraint,while China has not said Pim so far.

When you're big,you're big jor

I advise you to read this. You think US will overwhelm China? Think again:

HacheNoire:
Daylight robbery in front of the whole world!

It's a shame really.
I have never seen a leader so brazen with criminality than Trump.

There will be serious guerilla warfare against his troops.
We will see how this play out.

Quite shocking!

Trump just confirmed in his press conference his team would be running Venezuela and its oil installations.

A journalist needed to ask again and his response was the same.

This is daylight theft.

seunmsg:
Wow! Just wow! It’s a crime to be weak in this world. If you’re not powerful, don’t stand in the way of the powerful.

Again, kudus to President Tinubu for opting for diplomacy in resolving Nigeria’s issue with Donald Trump. We must do everything not to ever be in the same situation as Venezuela.

Sadly, the ordinary folks in Venezuela will be the biggest losers of this regime change. The Americans will come in, milk the country dry and then abandon them to another American backed puppet dictator. For the common man, it’s the same story. Nothing ever gets better.

You are very right, especially with the first paragraph.


That is why there will be a race towards nuclear weapon for weak nations to protect themselves against the bigger Nations.

cr7lomo:
Maduro has been treating the citizens like crap ...chavez destroyed their economy like buhari and handed over to his guy maduro and that one. Continued from where chavez stopped....dictators that act like they practice democracy ...do whatever they like , rig elections and try to hide under the guise of sovereignty and fake democracy ...turning their country to a one party system buy judges , select rubber stamp legislators ....and they think no one can do them anything.... they kill and arrest protesters silent opposition and feel untouchable.... steal so much wealth meant fir the country to enrich themselves and think they will always get away with it.... since people like Tinubu have their playbook and think he is untouchable...Trump will also come for him.... as a convicted drug Lord that he is ....

This will be my last rebuttal to you as it’s quite clear you either do not understand the global rules countries play by or you are ignorant of it. It will be a waste of time.

Even the US did not accuse Maduro of all you typed . US govt simply accused him of pushing drugs into the US. Let’s assume it holds true, does that justify kidnapping a sitting president just because the US have the military assets to do it? .

US had done this before - against the then sitting Panama president which the US arrested in 1989 but it was even In a different context. Panama was at war with the US. Trump has ratcheted it up by kidnapping a sitting president whose country was not at war with the US . Trump didn’t even seek congressional approval for this military action as he should. How is he different from Maduro - they are both tyrants.

The international world order is being assaulted by the same country that largely created it.

Deepthoughts:
But you people don't see anything wrong with what Putin is doing to Ukraine?

Both Putin’s Russia and Trump’s US violated the international law.

US especially lacks moral right to condem Russia action in Ukraine as it stands.

Even Spain has just released a statement that countries should respect international laws.

Who are we without laws? Barbarians?

Ghostagain:
So their allies can be invaded by the USA and they will do nothing at all. What is the point of being allies with china? Why shouldn't countries just ignore china and do whatever USA wants ?

Taiwan is never reuniting with mainland, china is too cowardly.

At this point, china is becoming irrelevant to countries which are not military heavyweights. Only Russia and perhaps North Korea can make any use of China's alliance.

BRICS is dead !

China only offers economic cooperation.

They never promise to defend their allies militarily.

Archworld:
Ok


Because they can't. Only US can do it . I wish Trump can capture Tinubu , VP and the full national assembly members. Nigeria needs fresh air . These criminals who care only about their pockets and family and have turned Nigeria to their personal farm land , should be locked up forever.

Like you would do better if you replace any of them.

Ghostagain:
No FIFA ban, no Olympics ban. Nobel peace prize awarded to person calling for USA to invade Venezuela. Fifa awards trump a peace prize. 😅 And these are called "international institutions"

1. Syria
2. Venezuela

Who's next ?

Russia and China, you guys are useless right now, it's understandable with Russia being at war

alrezdy, but what is China's excuse ?

China doesn’t meddle in internal affairs of any country. That has always been their slogan.

mayor1814:
Ogbeni u no fit gaslight us... Wen Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine na powerful country ba...

I have never supported Russia action.

What US just did was against the rule-based international order which they championed.

The era of stronger countries doing as they like to weaker countries is officially back.

cr7lomo:
Sovereignty my foot.... when power intoxicated u to the extent that u treat ur citizens like crap.. the judiciary and legislative doing the bidings of the executive and the rich .... this is the result... Rigging of elections and thinking u are untouchable...Tinubu. u are next...just rig 2027 and receive Trumps force

So to you the US is a saint.

With all the atrocities committed by Trump, should he be anywhere near the White House?

US happens to be the first country that has a felon occupying the highest seat in the land. Every other countries respect their internal affairs.

So the US had moved the world to an era where mightier countries could change government of another countries as they deem fit.

Like US, like Russia. What a shame!

Is that how democracy which they preach to other part of the world works?

Quite condemnable.

Trump’s US violated the sovereignty of Venezuela. The US keeps wielding military might against lesser powerful countries. This is an act of bullying.

Is this how democracy works?

UN will sit and say nothing - such a useless organisation.

How can US captures the President of another country and attempt to force change of Government just because they can.

Why not move this military might against Russia which keeps destroying Ukraine per seconds.
