Considering he is the one currently in power and the acceleration of consolidation of wealth and power is increasing at an exponential rate, yes. He has personally approved deals that allowed tech oligarchs to consume media outlets. We are witnessing the rapid adoption of a techno-surveillance state that also controls all mainstream media while an unprecedented state-run militarized police force is being expanded. He is also the one who executed the operation this very thread is about, and the criticisms about how it was conducted are valid. Stop doing Facebook brainrot whataboutism arguments.
This guy is fighter pilot and gives his take on the operation side of the Maduro capture it's pretty interesting hearing him explain technology and procedures that were likely in play.
Quote:Operation Absolute Resolve exposed how US F-35s, Growlers, and JASSMs dismantled Venezuela's Russian defenses in a 2.5-hour raid, capturing Maduro amid cartel chaos. As January 5 updates confirm custody and zero US losses, this breakdown reveals the airpower edge reshaping Latin American geopolitics.

Free diamorphine too.  Thanks to Dr Anaesthesia and his trolley of wonders

He came round after my op and I said I was fine with paracetamol.

"Come on mate, this shit is seriously good stuff".

"OK then".

Wowsers...

That’s awesome, I’m happy for you carp!  I hope it’s all better for you now.  

I was walking normally without a walker and pain 2 hours after surgery. It is a total life changing experience for me to be without the pain I’ve dealt with for three decades.  Yeah, the drugs are an added bonus although mine are fairly mild.   Comfortabley Numb works!

It's not really 'free'.
You pay for it in other ways.
Taxes .. right?

Last time we went to Canada we were at Niagara Falls on the Canada side.
Went to breakfast.  
It cost almost three times what it would have cost in America.
It was all taxes and everything cost more because they had to pay for the 'free' health care in Canada.

Lol no it didn't.

Yeah ... it did.
That was 15 years ago.
I remember it very well.
Cost a fortune for breakfast.

Trump is off his nut at this point and to me it almost looks as if he knows he will be taken down soon and he wants to take the whole of America and anything and anyone else along with him.

Taken down by what?

Another clueless statement.

How many is that in the last week? 400-500?

Consistency is the only thing you have going for yourself.

What would you rather pay more for a breakfast or a heart transplant?

And yes, anyone who pays national insurance and tax in the UK contributes to the NHS.

As to Canada, i imagine it's similar.

Nothing is really "free" Flyers, there is always a cost to be had.

I"m just saying ... it's not 'free'.
Nothing is.
Everything gets paid for somehow.
Either up front, or covertly and in the shadows.

Indeed, see my edit. 

The point is, without our beloved NHS, millions of poor people would die or be forced to live with health issues that cannot be resolved or treated due to poverty.
