War Trump says Venezuela's Maduro captured after strikes - The U.S. has accused Maduro of running a "narco-state" and rigging an election.

WASHINGTON, Jan 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. has struck Venezuela and captured its President Nicolas Maduro, who has been taken out of the country, President Donald Trump said on Saturday.

The U.S. has not made such a direct intervention in Latin America since the invasion of Panama in 1989 to depose military leader Manuel Noriega.

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the country," Trump said in a Truth Social post.

There was no immediate confirmation from the Venezuelan government.

The U.S. has accused Maduro of running a "narco-state" and rigging an election. The Venezuelan leader, who succeeded Hugo Chavez to take power in 2013, has said Washington wants to take control of its oil reserves, the largest in the world.

Yes, I enjoy seeing the spics suffer the consequences of their own stupidity, greed, corruption, and shitty cultural values, and no I don't want another military adventure in a foreign shithole that falls apart in a few years and changes nothing while giving more ammo to their victim culture. No I don't want to help or rescue a rotten people or try to save them from themselves.

Also I voted for Trump twice you fucking retard.

Yeah, he shows you can do things, just not in America. He can move mountains in Iran, or Venezuela, but deporting one shitskin gangbanger illegal, Kilmar Abrego, was just too hard for him to pull off. Trump and America can do things, it just actively chooses not to do anything productive for the United States. Hence why we are fucking around on the other side of the planet, getting involved in foreign wars and deposing foreign heads of state, both of which Trump promised wouldn't be done under his watch. If we are going to get into conflicts, then why the fuck wasn't this done to the Mexican president? She openly works with cartels, and stated that she is supporting mass invasions specifically to claim U.S. territory. Queen narco-terrorist invader is right next door and nothing whatsoever is being done about it. All this does is make all of the inaction from Trump and the rest of the federal government even more profound and impossible to ignore.

He is a terrible example for Europe to follow, unless they want more "pretend to solve things while you fuck around all over the world" strategy this admin is perfecting.

Who said it was going to be easy? Don't forget they have a thousand Soros nigger judges who block everything and half of the country has been brainwashed into thinking he is Hitler 2 and that the death squads are just two weeks away.

We've just gotten into year two, before his second term, the concept of not accepting more illegals, let alone deporting them was considered a pipe dream.

Do I want more to happen? Abso-fucking-lutely. Unfortunately, Trump is not the dictator they make him out to be.

"No more brother war" conservative types; please tell me, what are you actually conserving? You're watching the world slip into hell and your only response is to hide and hold the line until the left get into power, make things worse, then you can wait to hold the line again because you don't want to annoy foreigners.

I'm a Britbong and if someone as cucked as me thinks you are irredeemable faggots then maybe it's time to take a good look in the mirror?

I don't think Trump would do this unless this was a complete sham trial Maduro has no way of walking away from.

If there is one thing I have learned, it's that the average person has zero principles or morals to speak of, but rather will just say and support whatever they perceive as the opinion of their chosen tribe.

Principles and morals are great, but if your morals and principles are so inflexible that they get in the way of victory, then what good are they? "Hey, we might have lost to our political rivals and now all our rights are getting stripped from us, our houses are going to illegal aliens, and we're all going to prison for voting for Republicans, but at least we still have our morals and principles, right guys?" Morals and principles are for when you have secured victory and are no longer in danger of losing power to people who want to see you impoverished, dead, and your children raped and trooned out. Morals and principles are for when you have regained a stable, unified, high trust society full of civilized people. Until then, they need to be set aside so you can fight hard and dirty for your culture. Morals and principles mean nothing if you've lose everything else that is important.

Lol mad.

Maduro was snatched because he is running drugs into America (and the rest of the region). Not to nationbuild Venezuela.

Go fuck yourself imbecile.

Twitter says Ukraine is winning. Do you believe that too?

I'm in Lima, a city housing about 2 fucking millions Venezuelan immigrants and I'm seeing them on TV celebrating and some are saying they might go back. Check YouTube, there must be some streams from Peru and they're showing this.

They are literally celebrating in the streets and tearing down Maduro's image. Maybe check twitter before you pearl clutch over how the venzuelans feel.

If you can't let go of your TDS then the play here is to huff a fat fart and go "mmmm the people are happy now but what will happen on 6 months?"

Reminds me to when Castro died and Cubans were celebrating all over the world and the commies keep denying it was happening despite the dozens of videos we saw.

What do you even call such a one sided conflict like this? Calling it a war implies that one side is even fighting back, but to my knowledge the US has had zero deaths, wounded, or even damaged equipment from the intervention. International Rape?

You tell me, must ache your butt something awful being in the fourth year of the 3 day russian special military operation to take Kiev and seeing Putin's venezuelan boyfriend yoinked in less than 24 hours

How's the view from the realpolitik cuckchair?

 

[George Lucas]

And his reason to do so, that Venezuela is a narco state, is just a blatant lie.

Why do you think it’s a lie? Where do narcotics in America come from?

 

[NewnameRealEmail]

Maybe off topic but does anyone remember when that jewish pedophile Oliver Stone went and sucked Hugo Chavez’s dick for 90 minutes?

Michael Moore did the same thing with his Obamacare movie too.

How’s that socialism working out for the Castros and Chavismos now?

So can we just do stuff, or can we not just do stuff? You say Trump is a sign we can just do what we want, then turn around and say it's not Trump's fault he is failing, it's actually those pesky other people, and also they might think Trump is mean if he does something. So when the UK or Germany want to just do something and a judge says "nuh uh", are they supposed to be inspired by Trump to just bend over and take it like cowards? Trump shows he lacks the "balls and will" when it matters, so how in the world is he going to inspire anyone else to have balls or will when it matters? Clearly the Soros nigger judges, or people thinking he is Hitler 2, or that the death squads are coming, did not stop him from just bombing a bunch of Iranians or kidnapping a president while bombing everything, so I want some of that balls and will here, where it matters. Especially if I am supposed to believe that Trump is inspiring my cousins in Europe.

After four years of failure and one year of mediocrity, I simply no longer "trust the plan". I will trust results, if I ever see them.

 

[Disdainer of the Plebs]

It's weird how Trump is now doing what he was elected not to do: Foreign intervention and state building. And his reason to do so, that Venezuela is a narco state, is just a blatant lie.

But I have zero sympathy for Maduro the incompetent commie crackpot dictator. The Venezuelan commies has managed to turn the worlds most oil rich nation into an impoverished failed nation. Its almost impressive. Any monkey in zoo could do a better job, so maybe some good will come of this.

But I still wish that Trump would focus more on deporting Somalis and Haitians.

It fits in with the immigrant thing. Chavez and Maduro spent the past 20 years shitting Venezuela up, which causes Venezuelans to come and shit America up. Address root cause. Now the Venezuelan "refugees" can be sent back because they aren't fleeing the Maduro government.

This also has the bonus of removing a China/Russia friendly state from our front lawn and gives the troops badly needed real practice against a JV team.

Don't get me wrong, the Haitians and Somalis have to go too, but sending the army to deal with them isn't really feasible without starting a civil war at this point in time.

Hostile management change

 

[Beige]

Even if you disagree that he is a good President. You can't deny that it goes to show that you can do things. You can enact change if you have the balls and the will to.

For decades we've been there being told that things take time and everything has to go through Congress, get voted, that some things have more priority and he just goes and does it.

Every Euro should be demanding the same from their own leaders. Every citizen should demand the same level of action from their leaders.

It really goes to show how much the US has been hamstrung by shitty foreign policy and politicians getting their panties in a twist over the feelings of the retarded wannabe-activist types and the media going all the way back to the Vietnam era.

There are two options in war: Do it, or don’t. Half-measures do not work, and only serve to create more problems further down the line. I’d absolutely prefer to keep direct conflict to a minimum, but my God, this is how you do it.

 

[souschef]

Why do you think it’s a lie? Where do narcotics in America come from?

The question you should ask him is from where an unproductive dictatorial socialist regime get its money from. It's not from its industry, because there's none
