Somebody should convince the guy that it doesn't count ending a war that you started a little while before... Also, there has to be a general trend of peacefulness in one's behaviour.
The only advantages I can see to America pushing for Maduro’s removal are unlocking mismanaged oil supplies and removing a hive of Russian, Iranian and Chinese activity from the Western Hemisphere.
Those are the upsides. The downsides are prompting anti-American balancing moves across South America, Bay of Pigsing and increasing Maduro’s legitimacy, giving Russian air defences a paintbrush to our kit and fucking it up completely and sparking a refugee crisis.
In practice, I’m increasingly convinced we’re about to go to war because of what a dead pedophile knows about the President.
How is it possible that a president of a country can close the airspace of another country?
How can the extrajudicial killings of (over 80 by now!) alleged drug traffickers
without any charges or trials be justified or accepted? These are, in fact, crimes against humanity.
I'm convinced at some point in the future U.S. citizens will have to learn what war means.

Threat of violence. Nobody is dumb enough to test the patience of the country with Eagles and Raptors.

It's really simple.
Drug traffickers are so rich and organized they are in fact parallel governments. They are parasite governments inside the "official" ones. They have territory. They have armies. They have laws. They have tribunals. They even have goddamn taxes. It's middle ages tier barbarity. It's like a secession but without actually seceding.
Trump's administration is simply engaging a belligerent government that refuses to respect its laws and treaties and insists on engaging in covert infiltration and drug sale operations on US soil.
Nuking drug boats out of existence is the correct course of action.
> I'm convinced at some point in the future U.S. citizens will have to learn what war means.
It's because of Trump that they don't have to learn what war means. They should be thanking Trump and his troops for their service.
In my country police can't engage in a single operation against the continent spanning organized drug gangs without judges busting their balls every single step of the way while at the same time releasing drug traffickers from prison and even giving back their seized drug money.
How do you think it feels to wake up one day and read a newspaper saying the drug gangs dominate a quarter of your country's territory? There's speculation that the drug gangs control judges, politicians. Can you fathom what it must be like to take in this information when you're married and planning to have children?
Americans should be worshipping Trump right now. They have no idea how privileged they are. Some of us are not so lucky. Some of us live in countries where at any point in time organized crime gangs can come to your house and spray paint a message saying you have 24 hours to leave or be killed. They've emptied entire towns this way. Americans will never experience that and they should thank god for it. They have professional soldiers waging literal war against these barbarians so they don't have to.
The cartels are already entrenched. Organized drug gangs already dominate over a quarter of the south american continent. People openly speculate about how they control judges and politicians, and I don't doubt it for a second.
If the US manages to deal a crippling blow to these drug gangs, he will have done south america a huge favor and I will be forever indebted to him.
The US has seen six governments since Woodstock ‘99, alternating the ruling party almost perfectly every four years: Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden and Trump again.
Venezuela has seen only two presidents in 26 years, Chavez and Maduro, and both belong to the same ruling party.
So mad king will cause rally around the flag in Venezuela. And then what? Another Vietnam? China and Russia will be more than happy to supply drones and weapons to grind US military in an endless insurgency. Russia especially, to just give USA a taste of a shitsandwich they are forced to eat for 4 years straight.
This has to be related to Russia and the war in Ukraine. I'm not a military buff, so my analysis might be way off, but here we go.
1. The US has sent a shitload of weapons to Ukraine over the last years.
2. Given the US military superiority and how weak Russia is supposed to be, Russia should be on its knees right now.
3. The US is promoting a peace plan that seems to heavily favor Russia.
So, at that point, I see two possibilities:
1. Trump is a russian asset
2. The US military is privately shitting its pants about how weak they are in this proxy war.
Theoretically, if Trump was a russian asset, he wouldn't go after Venezuela. Why would Russia want to destroy its puppet state?
So I'm going with 2, and it's the cold war again. This is an attempt by the US military to spread Russia thin for further conflicts coming all over the place.
When you are developing an autocratic regime within an elected system, criminal extralegal military action reveals who the leaders are who will act criminally (are "loyal") segregating them from the constitutional adherents who oppose you.
It's a final step to overthrowing the US's elected officials or rendering them powerless.
Just more illegal and criminal regime change and foreign interference by USA. Can't they just leave the world alone and stop forcing their wants to the rest of the world for once. Really doing nothing but make them be even more hated.
