Shit, pretty sure he's on tape telling Netentyahu, that starting a war to cancel elections is a great idea that he wants to do.

He wants a regime change eventually, and so does the money behind him.

But what trump wants more, is anything that will cancel midterms and last long enough to cancel the next presidential too.

That's why he's doing this, holding onto political power is the golden goose. Not even trump is dumb enough to kill and eat the goose. As we get closer to elections, we'll see him pass on money if it means holding onto power longer. But if midterms happen and he loses the House, that's a lot of lost power, which means less money from bribes/grifts.

He kept saying "we are going to be taking money out".

A special military operation to overthrow a government that takes less than 3 days, only a few hours to be precise..... Must be hard to see others achieve that when you are not even close to that at day nr. 1,409.

At no point in Russia's modern history have they had any problem whatsoever with being hypocrites.

That's because Russia and Venezuela are allies. Got to say something, even if it's for pretend.

So Putin's starting to turn against the US?

Even trump, for once, said the truth out loud

We're going to have our very large United States oil companies (...) go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure (...) Let's start making money

You hear that everybody? She slammed it. It's been slammed. It's ok, no need to panic, everybody knows everything's fine as long as it gets slammed. No need for any further action here; it's been slammed.

Slam.

Why write it like this?

Venezuela has the largest heavy crude oil reserves, which is the type that America can refine with its own refineries. Shale crude or light/medium crude are harder for the US to refine and sell.

I mean, you don’t actually expect that to be possible right? Think of the implication that would have, where republicans would just arrest the president for wearing a tan suit.

I get that these are more obvious crimes, but the idea that a single member of the house could mobilize any kind of force to arrest the sitting president is insanity.

So do you really think that one Congresswoman has the power to arrest a sitting president? Hell even if you took all the progressives and what remains of the squad, do you really think those numbers are enough to pull what could only be a coup?

Truly though, I think the reason Trump is going to get away with this and the reason Bush got away with his bullshit before is because of nonsense statements like this.

Also there's no such thing as Congressional police. You may be trying to refer to the Capitol Police, but they can't even successfully arrest insurrectionists.

Not primarily. I think it's simultaneously to steal oil, as is tradition with American Republicans, and also to cover any domestic issues. The fact that Trump raped dozens of kids, and he deleted and redacted millions of documents to cover that up, is one of those domestic issues. The others are the economy, ICE being a gestapo that disappears anyone the regime doesn't like, and the establishment of "quick reaction forces" in the US military to deploy against protesters (look it up, it's real).

We about to get really hot here in America.

Russia

I find it interesting that they are very weak in a traditional military sense, but their intelligence, posturing and political power is stupidly effective.

It’s like they learned that information is the new warfare and trained on that while letting their traditional forces fall apart.

I'm not some tankie or anything, but with Russia being allowed to take Crimea in 2014, and give it a few weeks, but I suspect the world will do fuck all about the US invading and annexing Venezuela. What is stopping China from taking Taiwan? The biggest players on the world stage has shown time and time again, that you can just take land because you want it, so why shouldn't China just take Taiwan? What would make an invasion of Taiwan worse than an invasion of Venezuela, Ukraine or Afghanistan?

Just to make sure everyone understands, I don't think any of them should be allowed to take any other country's land, but the world has shown it's completely acceptable for any reason, including wanting more oil, wanting natural ressources and farmable land, or wanting to blow up brown people.
