RIP Dick Cheney, you would have finally found something to like about the Trump presidency (illegally overthrowing a government for oil)

"Two things can be true 🤓" This is exactly the kind of liberal bullshit I despise. No, your first statement is not true, and the fact that you felt the need to couch Trump's actions with it shows how liberals aid empire while pretending to oppose it

Democrats don't oppose Trump on the border. They don't oppose him on Israel. They've already expressed support for regime change in Venezuela. They will back him on this. We don't have an opposition party and it infuriates me to no end.

Congress has not formally declared war since 1942, 83 years ago. Look at all the war the US has done in the past 83 years. Very obviously, it long long ago stopped requiring congressional approval for war according to its own constitution.

Hi, American here, I just want to let the rest of the world know that if y'all let us get away with kidnapping the leader of a sovereign nation without at the very least building a giant dome over us, then y'all are good and fucked. This is the red line, right here. You've got to stop us.

"While we strongly object to not being consulted, we can all agree that the world is better off without Maduro..." - some dem asshole, in about an hour

It’s at least refreshing that they don’t bother to bullshit us about freedom and justice any more. Yes, we are getting rid of the Palestinians so we can build hotels on their land. Yes, we are collapsing this government so our companies can loot their resources. This is what it always was, mask off.

insanely unpopular, these wars, voters don't want this shit, but boy does that not matter one fucking bit to the bloodthirstiness from politicians, be it loud and overt or feigning at being mild and 'reasonable'

I hate nuclear weapons more than anything else but any country that doesn't have one with America fully turning the corner into being a rogue state need to get one immediately.

This is one of those nights when I'm scared to go to sleep because who knows what the fuck kind of world I'm going to be waking up in

Also the fact that everyone complied with the most obviously illegal order I've seen since they murdered those fishermen is a sign of how absolutely out of control the army is Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

What the actual fuck even by the standards of the Trump regime claiming to have kidnapped the sitting president of a sovereign nation is the most absolutely batshit thing so far. Hideous crime Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

welp

*Venezuela

You can interpret this data that way, or you can see the terrifying underlying truth: as many as 1 in 3 Americans DOES support this. 1 in 3 of the people you pass on the street gets hard thinking of US troops dropping bombs on Venezuelan civilians. A deeply sick country to its core.

yet again remembering senator chris murphy admitting right in public on twitter that we tried to coup venezuela in trump's first term and he was talking about this not to condemn it but to bemoan how trump bungled the job and embarrassed the US

i don't fucking support the troops. if you're still in the military at this point and you're still following orders you deserve nothing less than the worst.

Bring back spitting on veterans and calling them babykillers, imo

Cannot emphasize this enough: fuck the troops in particular. Fuck those jingoistic jarheads dropping bombs on civilians right now. Fuck them for "just following orders." Fuck them for getting paychecks out of this. Fuck them for signing up voluntarily. I hope they all get shot down. Don't come home.

There is a straight fucking line from Biden bypassing Congress to send Israel more money for genocide and Trump bombing Venezuela, by the way, so I definitely don't want to hear from any dipshit libs who were making excuses for exactly this kind of butchery when it was their boy doing it.

God I am so sick of living in the heart of an unbearably evil empire. My thoughts are with the people of Venezuela

I don't want justice. I want revenge. After years and years of revenge, of seeing the cruel suffer as they have made others suffer, after a great deal of begging, pleading, and crying, I could maybe - MAYBE - be cajoled into compromising and settling for mere justice. Maybe.

libshit wikipedia editors are trying to neutral voice the current illegal aggression against venezuela only to get told by a venezuelan editor that he is literally being bombed right now. un-fucking real

The media wants the war and likes Trump and so will not report on this war as if it is unpopular, despite overwhelming polling showing that it is. Covering things as if they are unpopular is for things they want to stop and they want the war and want it to succeed.

How would Venezuelans know if they're being bombed? That's for the Anglophone West to decide

It really is incredible to think back to the buildup to Iraq War 2: post-9/11 patriotic bloodlust, all the false 'yellowcake/WMD' justifications invented by the State Department, the months of mass media manufacturing consent, the bipartisan vote... and then see Trump just skip all that shit.

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

They fired all the generals who wouldn't go along, then they kicked all the reporters out of the Pentagon.

This feels like a culmination of several deep pathologies: congressional passivity, executive aggrandizement, national security exceptionalism, politics as theater, war as theater.

trump('s generals) correctly recognise that there is absolutely no benefit in even pretending to hide behind the fake rules of the liberal world order anymore, and as climate collapse accelerates this kind of smash and grab take what we want imperialism is america's only viable future

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

If you need proof that the media is more responsible for Trump than the MAGA zealots, look at it this way: Trump came down that escalator in 2015 and started shouting FAKE NEWS almost immediately. Did the press take him to task and bury him? Nope. They bent over and now they work for him. Losers

Inexcusable shit.

unanimously confirmed by the United States senate btw

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

'Joined 11/24' libs are going to be so incredibly smug on here saying shit like "I bet you wish you'd voted for Mamala now, don't you?" and from the bottom of my heart I hope your genitals rot and explode, you thoughtless, callous cunts. I hope demons drag you to hell the day of your child's wedding

Bare. Fucking. Minimum.

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Fuck the troops by the way. I wish nothing but ill upon them.

Dems aren't going to stop this. They're fully onboard with regime change in Venezuela. They want the oil just as much as Trump. The only reason they're upset is because they're not being kept in the loop and Trump is being so blatant that they don't have plausible deniability.

We’ve always been this. You just can’t accept it without the obvious veneer of justification.

going to call my senators back and tell them to put the child porno machine on the back burner for now and focus on the undeclared war of aggression

It's an accountability sink. The ultimate scapegoat. They have infinite code monkeys tweaking the thing until it does what they want, then if there's backlash they can say "Oh, we didn't tell it to do that. We're fixing it. It's still a work in progress." And the press are going right along with it.

He's gonna fire off some nukes on his deathbed. I'm not even kidding. He literally believes the world revolves around him and he'll probably say some shit like "Here comes the rapture" and fire off a nuke at Canada or Mexico to get the ball rolling. Why should the world continue on after he dies?

Any Democrat not talking impeachment is your enemy. Any Democrat not talking arrest for war crimes is your enemy. Any Democrat not talking full denazification protocols is your enemy. Standing in the way of justice is just as bad committing the transgressions yourself.

holy fucking shit they’re actually doing it no AUMF, nothing, just full on attacking another country because they can and because they want to this ends badly and I hope it ends badly for everyone involved in ordering it
