Have you watched this video where Trump laments the fact that the US should have ‘kept the oil’ when it invaded Iraq? It’s worth watching.
Meantime, why do you suppose he killed over 90 Venezuelans in boats? He claimed they were carrying drugs but has offered no proof. And, of course, summary execution is not a civilized response even these people – all of them – had been drug-smugglers.
But even that fades into the shadows compared to his recent raid, when he sent special US forces to kidnap Venezuela’s president, Nicholas Maduro, and his wife, and bring them to Brooklyn for trial. Have you ever seen such contempt for international law and order? So why has Trump done it – because he can? Maybe. But more likely because he’s engaged in distraction.
His popularity at home, thanks to his disastrous economic policies, has sunk like a stone. So what do you do when you’re facing the wrath of the electorate in the upcoming mid-term election?Why, you do what Thatcher did. She was deeply unpopular throughout Britain, and then she found salvation in the form of the Malvinas/Falkland Islands. She sent her gunboats there, retook the Malvinas, and urged the British people to ‘Rejoice in that!” Maybe they did. Certainly Thatcher’s bacon was saved and her popularity rose. I stink at home, so I point to the far distance.
Trump is busy doing the same. Of course he’s a war criminal, like his buddy Netanyahu.There are international rules about not kidnapping leaders of other countries.Imagine if the same thing had happened to Starmer, or Micheál or Macron. There’d have been global outrage. Will the international community for once show some backbone? PS. You do know Trump says he’s going to run Venezuela for the time being, and he’s going to keep their oil. Pass the bucket, Virginia.
It’s time any of us with Yankee relatives asked them if they support Trump and if they do they should be ostracised and disowned by their families here.
Trump is amassing as much money as he can before he leaves office. He is an unashamedly dishonest man but the people who support him already know that. Venezuela is choc a bloc with primo quality oil. That’ll do for sure. I am not so sure about Trump and the ratings, I think he’s just garnering as much I’ll gotten gains as he can. My question would be directed at the American military, are you happy to be used and abused as his personal gang? If I were a US Marine and I had to possibly put my life on the line for a fat draft dodging thief I would have serious doubts.The Venezuelan snatch job was, apparently carried out in text book fashion but who knows what Trump will order his personal army to do, just to fill his coffers?
Maduro is a tyrant who stole an election and starved his people. Why should we be worried about him being brought to justice? It’s time you got your priorities straight Jude.
Trump is a tyrant who tried to steal an election. He also starved his people by shutting down food banks and withholding social security payments. Maybe it’s time the people who worship the fat bronzed calf get their priorities right. He is also a convicted sex offender and stole money from charities. He was also best friends with Epstein.
