Nicholas Maduro has been captured: Trump

[airplanemechanic]

Yes. Who do you think is administering the government of venezuela?

Who do you think is securing the oil fields?

Got a question for you, Libby.

Where was your outrage when Obama used US military assets to assassinate an American overseas without a trial?

 

[Darkwind]

They confiscated U.S oil company assets, he stole an election, he was in the pocket of China.

What Americans need to understand is that these actions SAVE lives. Just as with Iran, this sends a message to China, Russia and others that the U.S military can hold anyone to justice. Peace through strength is real. America and the West doesn't want to go to war with China, the Chinese military don't want to go to war with America. However, if an invasion into Taiwan occurs, everything is on the table.

This could very well prevent a war in Asia, could save lives of Japanese and Taiwanese in the long run.

What I find amusing is that no one on the left is speaking about the fact that this was a DOJ operation that was supported by our military.

Madero was arrested by DOJ officials, taken into custody by DOJ official and is likely sitting in a US max prison awaiting trial.

 

[JimH52]

It’s part of the whole “spheres of influence” sort of 19th century foreign policy thinking.

Ah, trump would love to return into the 19th century.

 

[candycorn]

Elections - we all ready have candidates to support.

Really? Who?

 

[JLW]

There were, but just special forces so not that many. This ain't Iraq.

I will add I hope you are right. We will see. The question is did Trump plan out what is to follow. Maduro was a bad guy. Just like Saddam. Trump however sounds just like W. Oil will pay for this assault as well as what is to come. Venezuelans may be happy that Maduro is gone, as they should be, but the question is now what happens with the void that is now created.

 

[rightwinger]

US will run their country
US will take their oil money

Yea, this is about Maduro

 

[Delldude]

The Donald J Trump - Orinoco Belt?

 

[Nostra]

Didn't we all tell you what this was really about?

It's about the oil, nothing more.

Iraq all over again.

Things Dimwingers hate…

 

[WelfareQueen]

So we don't have the money to help people with health insurance premiums, or to pay for food stamps or free school lunches, but we will have enough mony to run an entire country until such time that Trump is satisfied with the transition. Here we see a blatant use of the military to remove a man for the oil in a country.... Again.

Martin Luther King called it over fifty years ago; “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.”

Trump says the U.S. will 'run' Venezuela until a transition can take place​

The U.S. is “going to run the country,” Trump said of Venezuela at a news conference today, following the U.S. capture of his South American counterpart.

“We are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transitions,” he said. “So we don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in and the same situation that we had for the last long period of years.”

“We’re there now,” he added. “So, we’re going to stay until such time as we’re going to run it essentially until such time as a proper transition can take place.”

What's a "narco-terrorist", gotta link to that definition?

And where can I read up on the citizens of Venezuela crying out for liberation?

Thanks in advance.

I got ya dawg


The term “narco-terrorism” emerged in the early 1980s, coined by former Peruvian President Fernando Belaúnde Terry in 1983. It described violent actions by drug traffickers against anti-narcotics police in Peru and Colombia. Initially, it focused on drug cartels employing terrorist tactics, such as bombings, assassinations, and kidnappings, to influence government policies and obstruct law enforcement.


The definition broadened to include terrorist organizations that use drug trafficking to fund their activities. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) characterizes narco-terrorism as groups or individuals involved in drug trafficking to support or finance terrorist activities. This dual character emphasizes drug traffickers using terror or terrorists using the drug trade for financial gain. The DEA’s authority, under 21 USC 959, allows for prosecution of terrorist-related, extraterritorial drug offenses.

Venezuelans living in Trinidad and Tobago this morning awoke with cautious optimism as news of President Nicolas Maduro’s US capture was confirmed by President Donald Trump.

Activists speaking to the Express this morning said that news of US operations overnight that reportedly saw the controversial socialist leader removed from the country had created a sense of relief among those who once fled their home country, seeking redress from the vast economic hardship that stunted it over the past few years.

No, it didn't. It had a dictator who wasn't elected but put in by his predecessor. The duly elected leader is in exile in Spain. Why do you keep ignoring this?

Because it confuses his simple commie mind.

Warmongering and fascism, this is America under Trump and the Republican Party.

We gotta fix this mess.

Yeah right Malcome BoY.
If you had a functioning brain you'd still be dumb as hell.

Thanks in advance.

Before yesterday, you may try looking in the cemeteries.

 

[White 6]

Narco-terrorist apprehended and the military infrastructure supporting said narco-terrorism destroyed.

I hope Trump did it with his compression socks on for the ultimate win.

Probably gave the go ahead, sitting on the toilet, 2:30 in the morning, barefoot or wearing slippers.

 

[Marener]

Because it confuses his simple commie mind.

Because you guys don’t actually care about elections.

 

[Litwin]

Treated like liberators on day one. That is to be expected. Let’s see in the months to come.

V. will do just fine. the Moscow ulus is next !
