Nicholas Maduro has been captured: Trump

[2aguy]

For those leftists complaining about Trump arresting a convicted narco terrorist in a foreign country?

Could you please link us to your complaining about obama sending in the U.S. military to cross into a foreign country to capture or kill a citizen of Saudi Arabia?

They killed that guy, and you guys said obama was just swell....

Remember that?

I do.

Someone being glad it happened doesn't mean it should have been done or done the way it was.
If someone overthrew a US dictator, I would be glad. But that would not mean what they did was legal or the right thing.

That's different.... somehow

Over the past few months, President Trump has deployed an imposing military force in the Caribbean to threaten Venezuela. Until now, the president used that force — an aircraft carrier, at least seven other warships, scores of aircraft and 15,000 U.S. troops — for illegal attacks on small boats that he claimed were ferrying drugs. On Saturday, Mr. Trump dramatically escalated his campaign by capturing President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela as part of what he called “a large scale strike” against the country.

Few people will feel any sympathy for Mr. Maduro. He is undemocratic and repressive, and has destabilized the Western Hemisphere in recent years. The United Nations recently issued a report detailing more than a decade of killings, torture, sexual violence and arbitrary detention by henchmen against his political opponents. He stole Venezuela’s presidential election in 2024. He has fueled economic and political disruption throughout the region by instigating an exodus of nearly eight million migrants.

If there is an overriding lesson of American foreign affairs in the past century, however, it is that attempting to oust even the most deplorable regime can make matters worse. The United States spent 20 years failing to create a stable government in Afghanistan and replaced a dictatorship in Libya with a fractured state. The tragic consequences of the 2003 war in Iraq continue to beset America and the Middle East. Perhaps most relevant, the United States has sporadically destabilized Latin American countries, including Chile, Cuba, Guatemala and Nicaragua, by trying to oust a government through force.

Mr. Trump has not yet offered a coherent explanation for his actions in Venezuela. He is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons. If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress. Without congressional approval, his actions violate U.S. law.

No one disputes Maduro is a very bad guy. Let's see if RWM defend trump's illegal action along the lines of "the ends justifies the means."

Yet here you are wailing about his removal.

I never mentioned 100% good grief you're in waaay over your head, noobie

And I wasn't saying no prices came down. I said Trump doesn't know math; he thinks prices can come down hundreds of percent. You do know that's not possible, right? You know only an ignorant person would think that possible, right?

Uh no, the former president of Honduras was a narco terrorist. He was working with a designated terrorist organization, the Sinaloa cartel.

They’re not exactly “nonviolent”

Sinola Cartel was not declared a terrorist org until February 20, 2025. When Trump had the stones to do it. To your chagrin.

At the time of the conviction of the Honduran president, the Sinola Cartel was not a terrorist organization.

I responded to YOUR post prices haven't came down

Listen, clown, you're a dime a dozen on here. Stupid and can't debate worth a damn. Now run along

 

[toobfreak]

Hopefully as some point we'll find out what shady business deals Trump has been setting up in anticipation of this.

Oh no! And here I am still not recovered from all of Biden's shady deals with Ukraine, Romania and China yet!

I could have sworn we were going to stay the hell out of military actions in foreign countries.

Yep. We did a whole 15 minute police action and returned a nation to its people from a brutal dictator killing hundreds of thousands of lives violating numerous treaties and international laws! That bastard, Trump!

Oh well. Some things never change.

One thing changed; now we have a real leader who stands for real things. While Biden TALKED about solving problems, Trump actually SOLVES them, starting with the biggest and toughest first.

It's NOT just one person. It's literally millions.

People fled Maduro's thugs and his regime. I've worked and friended many. They lived here but still want to go back home....now they get their wish.

Bad part is that they have skills we need. They were great guys. But now they are going back home. Maduro and communism is dead in Venezuela and they can go back to the luxurious paradise they used to be.

I do.

I remember it. Did Obama overthrow a government?
Were you glad that terrorist was killed?
Actually, I had a few doubts about the way it was done. Right or wrong has nothing to do with who did something.
That's a concept you can't grasp, which tells me a lot about you and your reactions to events.

I didn't say that. You're just pretending I did.
But that's okay.

Oh okay. You think the Sinaloa cartel wasn’t violent terrorists until 2025?

Cmon man. You’re being really dishonest.

Didn't over throw the government in Venezuela.....Trump is allowing the actual President, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Machado, to take office.....

 

[Clipper]

Moroner lies.

Did Bonespurs Trump consult with his assbuddy & mentor Pooty for advice before he pulled this shit & proved again that he's nothing but a ******* liar & a psycho?

 

[j-mac]

Can you smell it skippy?

Can you smell that ass kicking coming your way?

The only thing I smell is the stench of failure and regret coming from you posting.

 

[SweetSue92]

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

It's about the oil, nothing more.

Iraq all over again.

Probably more like the hoards of illegal cartel and gang members your guy let over the border.

Here's what I said:

I shop a lot, and as always, prices go up and down. Gas changes as much as 40¢ a gallon from day to day where I live.
Who pays the tariffs? Can you answer that? I doubt it.

So you are really pretending I said prices have not come down. Some have. Some haven't.

 

[theHawk]

That's it? That's your reply? That's just repeating something both sides have read millions of times. It's balloon juice.
What is irrational about asking for an explanation for a pardon of a drug trafficker?

I trust President Trump.

He’s clearly 5 steps ahead of everyone else that keeps questioning him.

So sit there and seethe all you want. Autopen pardoned violent criminal thugs, as well as his felon son. You lefties had no problem with that.

You're annoying and about two posts towards the land of iggy

True neocons use Ukrainian flags for avatars.

I'm just sayin'

You’re just saying shit.

We ain’t taking over Ukraine
