They've completely abandoned the "WMD Fent" narrative and moved on to 'they stole their own oil'.

Tweedledum!

Ohh good one!
What’s going on?
Trump announced he was doing a full embargo of Venezuelan oil exports, with the stated reason being they stole their oil and land from the US.
Then he scheduled a press conference for 9PM today, which many expected to be a declaration of war/invasion, but ended up being Trump sundowning and complaining about Biden for an hour.
It was tremendously pathetic and painful to watch, yes.
therapy :)
Biden didn't even do anything bad he was just indifferent
They all do bad things. Trump is just making them look good in comparison
Gaining power just to do nothing with it and maintain an unjust status quo is doing a bad thing, though unfortunately he did more than just that.
There's a LOT of buzz pointing towards Trump announcing full on war with Venezuela soon. I don't have sauce on hand but when I do I'll getcha
Right on time to divert from the Epstein files release lol
Probably more about calling martial law to not have another election
Both are in the goals list for this idiot regime anyways, I fear
does anyone know what OP means? I know OP means over-powered in most rpg games, but I have no idea what it means on Lemmy.world. I haven't seen many other OPs in Lemmy.world. I suppose its something to do with being new to Lemmy.world...
OP refers to the person who posted either the post as a whole, or in some cases the top-level comment in a comment chain, depending on context. If you're looking at the tag next to usernames, it's the former. (Original Poster)
oh ok
It's ridiculous how closely it matches the script from that old movie Wag the Dog (1997).
Do you mean the Iraq War (2003)?
Oil.
His pants are hiked higher than Fred Mertz’ in I Love Lucy.
Front butt, back butt, side butt, neck butt, eyeballs butt
Trying to hide his gunt.
Epitome of masculinity
I say bring it on. Go ahead Mr President, start a fucking war.
That will ensure we never get a GOP controlled government again. (Or at least six more years or so, the max limit of American memory.)
Bush won reelection by doing the same bullshit
Yah, but he was also capitalizing on the worst terrorist attack on US soil, a world-changing event that unified almost every American behind war drums and a burning desire for revenge.
This time around? Our biggest threat is the lack of a healthcare plan that the GOP has had a decade to invent, work out or create. People are getting really irritated with this "corrupt business as usual" policy bullshit. If he tries to launch a war for no reason and a single American dies, it's going to be a massive PR disaster and could lead to substantive measures by his own party. Say what you will about establishment politicians, they DO in fact want to get reelected.
they are waiting for (or likely manufacture) a Reichstag moment.
that whole Charlie Kirk was small potatoes and fizzled out already.
False flag is basically imminent at this point. Loomer keeps signaling as if she's some kind of subtle sleuth, but it's way too obvious for the chronic online like myself atp
It is like a sketch comedy that all their attempted Reichstag violence is just MAGA on MAGA violence.
Finally someone blew up a thing, we can use this to rally the state against an enemy and get away with fascism, who did the bombing? oh, it was us? again? fuck.
Accelerationism never works IMHO.
Nothing has ever been accelerated to cite, forces of capital want status-quo and have become exceedingly good at making sure nothing ever happens.
Is that a used car salesman ?
Nah even worst the president.
I'm another timeline....
I’m sure all those GOP politicians and Trump ride or die fans will be more then happy to send there children right to the front lines and into the meat grinder…
Fight fascism:
I can’t. its dangerous.
Killing brown kids abroad:
Hell yeah. Sign me up
- USA USA USA!
And it's 1 2 3 what are we fighting for? Dont ask me I dont give a damn my next stop is ~~Vietnam~~ Venezuela.
If a bunch of Republican kids die in the Venezuelan jungle I'll be so sad.
