Actual Venezuelans: really happy.

SOME are.

I'll just keep pointing this out, but if China, Russia, and Iran did a joint invasion of the USA mainland, and seized President Trump, you could make tons of videos from blue cities of "Americans celebrating their liberation from the dictator Trump."

"Here's some videos of some Venezuelans celebrating" is so fucking base level it's unreal.

I've yet to see any videos of Venezuelan citizens condemning what just happened. there's even cheering in the background of some of the bombing videos.

you have to remember that Maduro absolutely fucked Venezuela, weimar germany style. their currency completely collapsed and investment in the country evaporated, which trickled down to terrible conditions for the citizens on the ground.

I mean, I feel like they're really pushing the 'everyone is excited about this' narrative. But, yeah, you know the libs would be running with this is there were vids of them crying and stuff. Still, we're getting this through a lens, and a narrative is being pushed, hardcore.

And I think someone could take out Trump and run a similar op, and paint it as if no one in America liked him. It's easy propaganda.

there's even cheering in the background of some of the bombing videos.

I've seen some where people seemed pretty upset and worried but...that's pretty standard for getting fucking bombed.

Yup. Never argued otherwise. He was a disaster, from what I understand. I'm no fanboy. I just worry what comes next could be worse in the long term. If the transition is smooth, I think the Venezuelans will benefit in the short term; Maduro was that bad. But this destroys the country, since the main objective of the opposition is to get in on the 'global economy' and stuff. They're selling out their country for short term gains.

I'd rather they could have had a populist revolt without our help, and formed a nationalist government. That would have been ideal.

Point is, though, it was never our issue to begin with. We should have just left them be.

This is us serving an arrest warrant from 2020 against some guy who just refused to accept that he lost an election. I dunno man I think it'd be tougher to hide half the country losing their shit with the existence of social media than you give it credit for. I mean its not like CNN is playing the cheers on prime time, we're seeing it on Facebook and YouTube.

That's the weakest possible comparison. The US should completely control the western hemisphere. There's zero reason any other powerful nation should be allowed to intrude.

We played this game in Iraq, I remember Faux News cherry-picking people to claim Iraqis were ecstatic.

The prime time news stations are doing their best to hide the cheering Venezuelans. most of the videos come from social media.

This board: Also furious.

KIA2 has an obsessive compulsion to look gift horses in the mouth.

What does overthrowing Venezuela get me?

Honest question.

I'm relieved we were in and out, and I hope that's it, but I'm not going to be fucking grateful. How does this Make America Great Again? How is this America First? How do I benefit, how do my countrymen benefit?

I just don't get how this attack is a "gift horse."

it benefits America by cutting off a major supply of underground drugs, as well as sending a message to the rest of South America. it's an extension of closing the border.

in addition, it gets America access to oil.

Cocaine. Fent from Venezuela is pretty irrelevant. The whole thing is just not an issue, and was used as an excuse.

It's not killing 250,000 people per boat or whatever the fuck retarded nonsense they want us to believe.

Nigger.

right, cocaine is only killing tens of thousands of people a year and climbing, not including deaths related to gang activity and drug wars. this is all with zero benefit.

Fent from Venezuela comes from China so that alone makes it an issue. I certainly doubt the motives behind the move but the outcome is desirable

This shit would be easier to overlook if he wasn't screwing us on housing and the H1B scam.

Oh you have to be kidding.

If anything, some company used a shell in Venezuela.

It's like talking about "Russian hackers."

Venezuela did not hack US elections. Kindly stop and think.

You see a filled Puyo Puyo board about to Game Over.

I see a giant chain about to happen.

Strategy.

You'll see. And I'll be back to rub it in once it all comes down.
