And right on cue....................'Anti-War Protests Planned Nationwide After US Strike on Venezuela'

[scruffy]

1. Maybe the rest of the world should have invaded the USA when Bush stole 2000. Or if Trump would have been successful in 2020.

2. It's hard to argue with taking out a guy who losses and election but won't step down.

3. I wish the rest of the world would grow a pair. If a leader looses an election, the rest of the world should join in to demand the loses steps down.

4. Putin has rigged elections. Is he next? Couldn't you say the same thing about the Russian people?

5. Who's next North Korea seems like the next logical country to do this to.

6. Did we get buy in from the other South American countries? Or are they all run by corrupt regimes too and this is a warning to them?

7. Do we really want to take on the drug cartels? This is scary shit.

DUDE, I'm not even paying attention to the news on this. I'm completely ignorant of all the facts. I'm just calling Republicans out for their hypocrisy and flip flopping on this issue just as much as they did on the Epstein files. LOL. You guys are a hoot. And you own this. Even the bad that comes from it. Don't deny it and suddenly not realize actions have consequences. PLEASE, don't tell us it's Biden's fault and Hillary didn't vote for this.

and have anyone asked the Venezuelan people how they feel about this??? ~S~

.

LIBERTAD! is how they feel! They are in the streets shouting it!

America voted for this.

The people of Venezuela are happy and free, they just kicked out a repressive tyrant and now they can become rich off their national resources. America gets cheap oil and regional security. Win/win. Everyone's happy

Here is proof you were duped in 2016

Donald Trump spoke against military interventionism

The thinking back then was that an interventionist Clinton might find more like-mindedness among Republicans than among Democrats – just as a noninterventionist and international trade-basher like Trump might find that attraction to his ideas is stronger among some Democrats.

“If you judge by intervention and a willingness to use it as a tool of American foreign policy, it would appear that Donald Trump is to the left of Hillary Clinton.

That's what it appeared because Trump duped us. Not me but voters.

“where the rubber hits the road” in terms of the projection of American power – the Middle East – Clinton is clearly more interventionist than Trump.

Boy did the Christian Science Monitor get this wrong huh?

And for the record, Trump talked out of both sides of his mouth on this back in 2016 :So far as a candidate he’s projected inconsistency or lack of clarity.

Gerecht is one of more than 50 Republican and conservative foreign policy experts – including big names from the George W. Bush administration – who signed an open letter in March disavowing the foreign-policy positions espoused by Trump.

Trump’s “vision of American influence and power in the world is wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle,” the letter said in part. “He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.”

Clinton and Trump: Foreign-policy odd couple with their parties?

Donald Trump has spoken against military interventionism and trade deals, putting him at odds with many Republicans. Hillary Clinton, sometimes called 'hawkish,' comes from a pre-Obama tradition that seems to be out of favor in the Democratic Party.

Forget the protesters. They are just upset that Trump didn't go through Congress. He's expanding the power of the presidency. And the hypocrisy. You guys cried when Obama or Biden went after terrorists. This is Iraq all over again. Hopefully it doesn't go as badly. We see the economy is not what Trump promised. That was 2025. 2026 war? Wow! So cry us a river about young people and let down Republicans who are pissed and don't want to spend the money on this bullshit.

In 2024 no one gave a **** about Venezuela. Now we're fighting a war on drugs? Can we afford this? Holy **** Trump is going to cost us a fortune before he's gone.

Nothing we can do but protest. Don't worry about peaceful protests. Trump supports them. At least in Iran he does. Another place he's threatening. 2026 is going to be a lot of fun. I hope young Republicans enlist.

The protest are all organized by domestic pro socialist organizations.
Arresting Maduro was legal under the Monroe Doctrine, he had an open indictment, and was never elected, the congress isnt needed for the president to act.
This was a major blow against socialism and tyranny. All the idiots who call Trump fascist defend Maduro a true fascist.
Venezuela is free again. Iran is next

This is what Republicans said about Trump back in 2016. You were duped dude just admit it.

Trump’s “vision of American influence and power in the world is wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle,” the letter said in part. “He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.”

And Hillary was viewed as more hawkish. In other words, you guys went with Trump because he was the least likely to pull shit like invade Venezuela. Suckers.

But now I'm sure you guys will just become pro intervention.

This is what they were saying in 2016 to con you into voting for Trump> “Hillary Clinton is clearly closer to the liberal interventionist wing of the Democratic Party” says Reuel Marc Gerecht, a former Central Intelligence Agency Middle East analyst and now a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington.

“If you judge by intervention and a willingness to use it as a tool of American foreign policy, it would appear that Donald Trump is to the left of Hillary Clinton – and conceivably to the left of Barack Obama,” he adds.

It doesn't appear that way now now does it?

He's an interventionist. You guys were against this hawkish behavior when Trump had no experience and he was running against Hillary. Now it appears you are interventionists.

It's okay if that's what we are doing. We've always done it. Yes there are a lot of liberals who don't want this because it's us who will send our kids to war if there's a draft but half your party was also sick of military interventionism.

Just pointing out your hypocrisy. You didn't like it when Biden or Obama did it. Whycome? BTW, this all started when we gave Bush more power after 9-11. Then Obama had the power to go after terrorists wherever they are. But you guys played politics and called them Obama's wars rather than support him. You don't need my support. You own this. And the unintended consequences that follow.

BTW are we still blaming Biden in 2026? Is that still a thing? Do you still have Long Term BDS?

The left are collectively having an orgasm this very minute, as they have an excuse to hit the streets, wave their signs, burn their flags, and feel better about themselves!
Only the left would call it an "emergency" . "Emergency anti-war protests are scheduled across the United States this weekend".

Anti-war protests planned nationwide after US strike on Venezuela

Anti-war protests are planned in over 100 cities after a U.S. military operation captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

I'm a little concerned. Not too many South American countries are happy with Trump. And remember not too long ago just after Trump started a trade war with the entire planet, our enemies got together for a very impressive Chinese military parade. Made our parade look pathetic. North Korea, Iran, Russia, India all attended. Trump doesn't have a lot of allies. I'll bet you the UK will be hard to convince to go along with another war the USA idiot Bush/Trump wants to start. No way the British citizens will allow it. I'm concerned.

Now Trump's talking about something has to be done with Mexico? You really trust Trump and Pete Hegseth with all this? Wow! I smell WW3 coming.

The dividing line is between socialism and capitalism. Capitalism and freedom is spreading in South America and the socialists are afraid. Youre on the wrong side of the issue. Socialism is cancer and must be destroyed. Trump leads the fight democrats defend socialism

As if your war on terror was over after the murder of Saddam.
It's just beginning. Either you go in jungles to kill drug-terrorists, either they go in the USA to kill some Americans.

Well then you drop WMD's on them. The world is on the precipice. Life becomes cheap. Progs keep it expensive for now as we still can afford it and the currency slowly weakens. The age of the intellectual is ending, and the age of the warrior is a rising. Look at all of the Prog intellectuals on TV every day. They know better from their pontifications. I knew we were heading this way. No choice. The feminist prog socialist communist matriarchs who have power nationally and in cities and states are consuming our financial resources for their craziness. Trump and others have to work around this.

That's what you guys told us about Iraq.

Will you use this argument to take us to war with China?

We call it the dumbing down of society. Notice the high price of college.

Intellectualism is the exercise of the intellect at the expense of the emotions.

I don't know why but I wanted to share this fact with you

Texas leads the U.S. in wind power generation and has a massive number of turbines, while also becoming a major solar energy producer, often ranking second to California but quickly adding capacity, making it a clean energy powerhouse. The state boasts the most wind turbines and generates the most wind power, and its solar capacity is also top-tier, driven by abundant land, favorable wind/sun, and an independent grid.

 

[Zavulon]

Well then you drop WMD's on them.

As if it might help you to fight terrorists. Chinese and Russian biolabs in Venezuela are expendable as were American biolabs in Ukraine and Georgia. And the local epidemia of, say, genetically modificated Kemerovo Fever might cause significant social disturbances in the USA. You know, properly modificated reoviridae are even less curable than coronaviridae.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Hey, I stand where I always have, you can go out there and yell and protest all you want, just do so at the government, not in front of somebodies business or out in the streets.

I love that you kill people for your beliefs or for your insanity. I do not have to do anything even if I wanted to. Influencing is where it is at. And I have learned it from you. Send the idea out and someone somewhere will get the idea. And spread it to someone else. It works.

Fragile old man starts a thread about the stuff that terrifies him

This must be a day that ends in "y".

Terrified?! Lol, I think it's hilarious that your side was ready to hit the streets within hours of even fully knowing what all transpired!
