US Senate Rebukes Trump On Venezuela In War Powers Vote
You know it just a resolution abi? It will have to pass the house, which is virtually impossible to pass. Let imagine it also scale through the house. President Trunp has the veto power to scrap it all

It just a symbolic action, as long as Trump isn't committing the US military into a large scale operation.. he is acting within his powers.

Obama did not inform the US Congress before going into Pakistan to kill Osama bin laden

The Congress have the exclusive rights to sanction a large scale military operation, like invasion and so on, Trump can used the military apparatus for small scale operations..it all technicalities.. for example Trump was only enforcing a arrest warrant as Maduro has already been indicted in the US.

It a mere symbolic action, I think the Senate also pass one during his first tenure.

Mind you, the protesters he's talking about are the Armed ones.
persia no send the loudmouth

the authorities have used velvet gloves on protesters because of the 12D war
they're keen to preserve that sense of comradery during the war, when even the domestic opposition rallied around the flag
they do not want to destroy that with heavy-handedness

the agents and infiltrators though will be executed

that said, there is a strategem developing where the hegemony activates crisis actors across different cities
so the regime deploys elite forces to quell them
forces terminating infiltrators are not at sensitive security installations
somewhat improving their odds of inserting usrael special forces for any clandestine operation they have planned when the shooting starts

places like lordegan, ilam, kermanshah are like the jalingos, dutses of nigeria
but that's where the regime is having to deploy elite forces that should be overloading sensitive installations in places like tabriz and isfahan

iran does have a 1 million personnel strong standing army (including reserves) to draw from, so theoretically this strategem is doomed
but if tehran expected this to be primarily about exchange of missiles like the 12D war
they'll have to adapt on the fly
it also adds to the reason why they've updated their military doctrine
they want the flexibility to f*ck with hegemonic plans with a pre-emptive strike as opposed to always being reactionary
this war is a proper game of chess

The US national debt is almost approaching it's Natural resources value.

Before August it would have grown to $45 trillion.

You see why they're desperate and in a state of panic.

Medicine after death

Who cares if the ship crew are all Nigerians, it is a Russian flagged ship one, two the ship was meant to carry oil to China and co... That will certainly not happen now which is the main reason for the operation. The crew will be processed and deported to each country of origin

From the ship will not be boarded to the crew are mainly Ukrainians😜😜😜

⚡Spain's Sanchez on Europe's double standarts:

Coherence means that there are no double standards, that there cannot be double yardsticks.

Coherence in Venezuela, coherence in Gaza, coherence in Ukraine.

Always an identical response when international law is violated.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by LordAdam16: 9:02pm On Jan 08
also the infiltration of armed paramilitaries is the reason why trump is now onboard with the us joining the attack
they've not thought long and hard about the iranian response
but i bet after panda did f*ck all in venezuela, they're like a couple dead americans is a fair price to pay for a chance to conduct regime change
panda is only going to complain about yet another international law violation

Europe supports the US in all it's regime change operations in other countries.

Now it's coming back home to Europe. I hope they enjoy it.

I said it one time here that once there's nothing else left for the US to feed on, they're gonna feed on Europe.

It's just like a leopard making friends with a lion, helping it take down other preys. What happens when there are no preys left for the lion to feed on?? It feeds on the leopard.

the update is that everything is offline, but i checked some government websites and they're still loading
although several others are down

took similar action when mossad was running amok during the 12D war

LordAdam16:
all commentary about xi's hesitancy conveniently skips china's modern history

1. china has defended its core interest when its capabilities were less than 1% of its current capabilities and when the US was by far more powerful than her
2. china talks a big game particularly about multipolarism and a fair rebalancing of the global order and has to walk the talk

the rest of us were on our own until xi and co came with their "i have a dream" spiel

north korea, venezuela, cuba, syria, iran, russia
that was it
out of 193 countries
if you can't go to bat for your core 6 allies then why is he wasting everyone's time

china adds more ships every year to its navy than the us, south korea, and japan combined
it adds the entire french navy to its navy every four years
does xi think the us will wait until he has every duck in a row and is as ready as a kitted up templar knight before making a move
is usrael waiting until iran rebuilds its defenses and tests a nuke before having a round 2

of those 6, syria is gone, venezuela just got smacked across the face but is still holding on, iran is about to fight an existential war for the second time in 6 months, russia is taking on all of nato and has the scars to prove it, cuba is in an icu
north korea is only being spared because south korea consider them siblings and has rebuffed the hegemony at every turn to activate that front

interestingly, venezuela does not need an active intervention
it only needs an economic lifeline
dispatch a flotilla to reliably break the blockade
that's it
the worst that'd happen is troop deployment and venezuela is vietnam on steroids

6 out of 193 countries
and the largest economy, navy, and most populous country on the planet is giving excuses that would embarrass f*cking sandal-wearing militants in yemen
and it's not like these countries are basket cases
russia is a superpower. iran is formidable. both have their respective hegemonies and are civilization states, venezuela has the largest oil reserves. cuba is a small island nation in a prime location facing off a foe that could practically squash it like a bug. north korea is ride or die.
each one of them is a first round pick of resilience and sheer f*cking chutzpah deserving of xi's overt support and yet he's dropping lamba about international law
f*ck international law. f*cking act.

does he think the us will stop with venezuela
let them finish up setting up their alternate supply chains for chips, rare earth, and the core industrial metals
they will give every major supplier of chinese raw materials the same choice they gave maduro
kick out the chinese or spend the night in rikers
they already attempted same in panama and in the netherlands
just outrightly try to seize chinese billions in investment and unceremoniously kick 'em out and there's no war yet

-Lord
That was that China is afraid to fight and avoiding, whether they like it or not, they will fight it.
Whatever projection they think they are planning won't work.
I read someone wrote by 2050, China will displace the US by doing nothing but continue in this road they are.
Helloooohuh??
If China continues on this road, by 2030, they would have moved so backward instead of forward that it will alarm them.
You can only thrive, expand and rich if your interest is been protected else, you will become poorer.
The last company I worked for is a French company that went broke and bankrupted and they had to sell it to a bidder.
Chinese companies were the foremost bidders but just for the company not to fall into the hands of Chinese and make them stronger, American companies came onboard and it was sold to them.
50% of the properties in the company were owned by Chinese investors and they are been forced out to sell the properties cheaper or face the option of these properties not getting contracts and costing the Chinese owners maintenance money.
Either way. They are being banged.
This is what is happening at the background/behind the scene in the corporate world far from the public eyes unlike the war that is popular.
The Americans are going any length to push out Chinese investors, companies and rendering them poorer.
China will never get richer towing this part.

pezeshkian did not really know what he signed up for until he entered shemiran
after that first assassination against haniyeh on his inauguration day, dude realized he had made a mistake and he'd be lucky to make it out of office alive
everything he has done and said since then has been with the energy of a terminally ill cancer patient who has been told he has weeks to live

you notice it straight away from his demeanor

like pezeshkian is not your typical psychopath who is drawn to the corridors of power
a cartel boss will relish the position because they thrive in danger
satanyahu probably gets a boner every time he receives a death threat
not pezeshkian. dude is out of his depths.

on khamenei, man is 86 years old
he has lived a full life
many inside the regime want him dead because they think his old way of thinking needs to make way for rational folks who are more in tune with the times

essentially you have the two figureheads that everyone acknowledges have to make way
but there are imminent security challenges to brace for so they're carrying both as handicaps
and hoping they are martyred to save everyone the horror of dealing with them day to day

⚡German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier says US is destroying world order:

There is also indeed the break in values of our most important partner, the USA, which helped build this order and, above all, significantly shaped it over decades.

We are beyond the stage in which we only complain about the lack of respect for international law or the erosion of the international order. Both disrespect and erosion are far advanced.

Today it is about preventing the world from turning into a den of thieves, in which the most unscrupulous take what they want, regions and whole countries are treated like the property of a few great powers, and even medium-sized states are pushed to the margins of history while smaller and weaker states are left entirely without protection.

i always find that argument puzzling
like if you have ever managed a business, you will not make that argument

take the average shop in nigeria dealing with energy issues, multiple taxations, and sh*t
maybe there is no gasoline because of scarcity
local government tax collectors locked your shop
unsatisfied customer called the police for you
logistics called you to inform you that your goods were in a truck that was in an accident or something

then someone will wake up and say you don't have to act
that you'd keep getting richer while the bottlenecks and unfortunate incidents pile up because your spouse is employed or your stocks are doing well

the hegemony cannot take on china head on
or even if it could, it still wouldn't hurt to soften its underbelly and attempt a death by a thousand cuts
as you say, whatever they're avoiding today is waiting for them in the future
except in the future, they'll find they lost most of the supporting cast they need for their movie because of misguided pacifism

folks really thinking if the us succeeds with taking out vz, ir, cu, and weakening russia
they'd leave china alone and not leverage all their advantages to f*ck with that economy they claim to be protecting
what kind of economy do you have without cheap energy
when the hegemony can unilaterally seize ships carrying your cargo and the presidents of countries that supply you with raw materials

when you claim to reach an economic armistice with the hegemony
and the hegemony still goes ahead to expand sanctions and seize your companies (nexperia)

panda has not seen pressure
the hegemony is just starting with him
let them finish off with vz, cuba, and ir
they'd face both of them squarely

see russia that has been claiming it has an understanding partner in the trump white house
trump placed a sanction on lukoil and froze $22B in foreign assets
not biden o. trump
same yesterday they seized that russian-flagged tanker, they gave the greenlight for american companies to auction those $22B in assets
within the same last 48 hours, the white house also gave the greenlight to graham's 500% secondary tariff on russia's business partners

even if i want to understand (i don't) putin go-slow approach because he is winning on the ground and terminating hegemony forces in ukraine
what the f*ck does panda think he's doing
very soon, all of us that are denominating our debt in yuan or trading or entering swaps in yuan will receive ultimatums
dem seize russian-flagged tanker nobody for brics+ talk about emergency meeting
heartbeat don rise like garri

The dude just pumps out propaganda. When one lie flops, he quickly jumps to the next one like nothing happened.

Look at him tagging me over complete rubbish while he and his little fan club were busy bragging about how mighty Russia is. Haha

I don't even need to waste my time schooling him. Plenty of sane people here jump in and roast him before I even see his nonsense. 😂😂😂
