Venezuela?

Because our military claims boats in the ocean had drugs in them?

And we just dropped bombs on them and killed them all? Strangely?

Tail wagging dog. Maybe the most obvious example of this in our history.

Discuss!

  • Those Epstein files must be really something

    My hot take: the Epstein files are the red herring away from another imperialist war from the USA, forced by the need for constantly rising profits and increasing markets by capitalism.

    how would I distinguish this hot take from a maga take stemming from deep denial.

    I cannot because there is no difference.

    Why do you argue that? Why is there no difference?

    You are probably right on that hot take

  • I read that Russia is selling Venezuela, a dilutent to help process their crappy grade oil. Maduro is cozing up nicely Putin, this is all a slap in the face of the Monroe doctrine which Trump subscribes too. So why yes, it's potentially an oil war, there are deeper motivations involved.

    Whilst Trump is pressuring Ukraine to capitulate to its aggressors? I don’t buy it.

    Both can be true.

    Only because Trump’s foreign policy is completely self-contradictory.

    “Pants on head bonkers” is the term I would use. How much he likes country depends on how much money they give and how nice the leader of country is.

    100% the case. Perfect example is Witcoff. The world including Russian officials are wondering why Rubio isn't doing the negotiating. The world is absolutely confused how to handle diplomatic ties with the US.

    I think Russia is just fine with Steve Jackoff doing the “negotiating.” They never wanted to negotiate in good faith. Putin wants all of Ukraine, and he’s trying to get it via political destabilization. Meanwhile he wants to sow the seeds of chaos within NATO, and Jackoff is the perfect vehicle for his machinations.

    Come on, this is Trump we are talking about. He could not take over Canada or Greenland, so he is settling for Venezuela and, after Venezuela, Honduras. Colombia is also a target (based on his statements). He wants to be the "conquering hero". The problem is that a few bombs here and there are not going to shake the Maduro regime. He would need a fully fledged invasion force.

    But they're referring to Fent as a chemical weapon of mass destruction now.

  • When has any group engaged in a war that wasn't ultimately about securing resources?

    “No new wars” Trump at it again. I’m sure Kamala would have done this anyway

    Ww2? Fight the nazis or be exterminated Israel 7 day war, same thing

    Why would they fight just to survive?  What purpose do you want to live?  

    To preserve the resource of your time, your children, etc.  No one fights a war except to secure resources.   I'm sure the Jews you mentioned wanted their property as well.  Not to simply exist.  

    "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles."

  • Republicans always do that. Trump fooled em.

  • well that is a naive view. About a year ago the USA had it all. Influence, power and presence. Trump destroyed all that. There is no imperialist lense through which that makes sense.

    So there must be many many other factors.

    I'm sorry but I don't understand your argument at all. Could you clarify?

    of cause I can. The world is complected

    Then please clarify so we understand each other. :)

    i cannot make this more simple

    Okay. Well, the book I mentioned explains how capitalism needs to constantly increase its profits and you're talking about something else.

    that clears thinks up.

    you think having a link is good enough to have an argument, while i postulate that you need to think about what that link says and if it is the full picture.

    That's not at all what you're saying, you're mumbling over how Trump destroyed all power. I genuinely don't have an idea what you're talking about and I have a feeling that you don't know either.

    Enjoy the book.

    one cannot be mumbling in writing.

    When u r so intellectual you don't even need to argue on the discussion sub

    I'm just reading comments but homie's out here postulating

  • He pardoned the twin to Maduro today, if we could only know why.........add here.

  • Am I surprised that Donald "No New Wars" Trump is starting a war to shore up his administration? No.

    I'm surprised if his followers swallow that after ostensibly being so upset about Iraq, but I don't have an accurate mental model of MAGAs so who knows.
