president Maduro captured after US strikes

[WallFlowerActive]

Hmm I wonder why. Did they ever figure out who's cocaine that was that was found in the White House?

I bet the CIA agent that had to cater to Hunter Biden knows…

[Vermilion]

So Biden's DoJ had the warrant but never followed through.

Sounds typical.

Yeah I don’t recall the same outrage when the arrest warrants for Maduro were made back in 2020.
Biden was saying Trump was a huge fan of Maduro.
You would think Biden would have arrested Maduro just for that.
Fascinating that some are having major issues now that Maduro is finally arrested.

Ahhhhh, memories from 2016

Can't vote for Hillary -- she's War Monger.

First thing she'll do is start a war.  Putin hates her.

Modern day ATS be like "Yes gimme the new world order. More internventionism until we are the one government on the globe. Inject the RFID chips directly into my veins! Peter Thiel has my best interests at heart and it's a good thing that government officials are enriching themselves with a secret global currency."

I guess, you have not been reading enough of whatever the "modern day ATS" has been saying all along...

We are not in agreement about the threshold between the polar opposites most often presented.

Presumably, if anyone might feel that the 'status quo' is out of focus by design, that a globalist approach to a mega-human community is engineered for continued exploitation ("now" being just the start) ...

that the entire idea of technological 'merging' comes exclusively as "Big Tech" marketing PR campaign about some tech head's "vision."

Or if you have read that there are no "government" officials... there haven't been for generations... (it more like social fiefdoms based upon personal allegiances and debt.)  And what they do is exactly what all "middlemen" do... they take a piece for themselves.

To return, if anyone could have read those words around here... as I recall doing... well... then your assertion is simply incorrect... and I welcome you to explore further...

I can't wait to see the evil communist left start defending cartels and communism.

 

Oh wait, they already do.

​​​​​​​I wonder if Zorham Mamdani will let him out?

Marco Rubio is already going to be president of Venezuela, governor of Cuba, and the Shah of Iran.
The man cannot have enough jobs.

He's actually more qualified and more capable than any of the Trump administration.
He makes them all look like amateurs.

Democrats angry because drug boats blown out of the water. No arrests.  Claim it’s unconstitutional.  Dems that claim nobody is above the law angry that an arrest has been made and claim unconstitutional.

I’m not sure Dems know what unconstitutional means?

I read your comment twice and it makes sense. Except this section which evoked upon iterated consideration the consistent singular query: What?

Mamdani just wants Venezuela to continue to feel the warmth of collectivism.

Simple deduction Watson.

The official reason was because 9/11, terrorism, and WMD. There was no evidence they were involved in 9/11 and it became clear they cherry picked the WMD "evidence" to make it look like they were trying to get nukes. We didn't find any WMD of scale, maybe some dilapidated weapons from the Iraq Iran war, but we knew about those and even helped Iraq to an extent in that war. 

The US took control of the oil (while still paying for ours) after the war. 

There's more evidence it was about oil than anything else. Principally that Haliburton got no bid contracts while their ex CEO was Vice President. 

If you want to believe the offical line, and act as if this was one of the few just wars post WWII, no one is stopping you. That's your right. But post WWII US foreign policy has shown that it's not about the interests of the American people, but rather the donor class. That's evident by literally no one talking about Iraq before 2000, or no one outside of Florida campaigning that we do something about Venezuela up until a few months ago to safe face politically.

The American people don't want involvement in these countries. The donor class do.

We spent trillions of dollars in Iraq, and for what? Go look at our national debt after that, we haven't even paid it off. The American people are on the hook for something they never asked for. Most people vote for a better economy and quality of life. Instead we get Neo Cons who put us into debt for countries no one even talked about.

Evidence of Cheney giving favoritism to Haliburton isn't direct theft of resources from Iraq, nothing you stated is evidence. I didnt ask for an educated guess I am capable of that. I asked for evidence which is undeniable proof of something. I dont form entire systems of belief upon educated guesses that then inluence my decisions, because thats what children do, like Santa Clause for example.

Again, evidence.

Also, about national debt, what makes you think debt is a bad thing? I feel like asking you that though is going to cause thread drift, so I'll suggest again that we disengage and are done. I'd suggest looking into the debt/GDP ratio before suggesting debt is bad, could be fine in comparison.
