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?

Well, Trump let off Hernandez, a massive cartel guy?

​​​​​​​Hmmmm...?

Millions of Venezuelans Around the World Celebrate Moduros Capture

Venezuelans around the world are celebrating the capture of President Nicolas Maduro after he was flown out of the country and indicted on drugs charges in the United States.   More than eight million citizens have fled Venezuela since 2014 due to rampant violence, inflation, gang warfare and shortages of food and medicine. 


 
'We are fighters, we entrepreneurs, we are good people but we want to return to our country and rebuild, move forward and continue being that force that we have always been.   'Long live Venezuela.'

Calls in Venezuela to Make Maria Machado (Nobel Peace Prize Winner) President of Venezuela

Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado will likely be the next president of Venezuela following Nicolas Maduro’s capture by the United States. 

 
Opposition leaders Machado and Edmundo González could be next in line to succeed in the South American country, according to a Caracas expert.

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.

The whole purpose of these forums is to question things.

Politicians don't just leave office and say "yea, I did all of that for personal gains, and the original premise was a lie". We have to look at the evidence we do have, and form opinions based off of that. Again, if you want to believe Iraq was a just war, that's your right. It would be one of the few post WWII wars that actually had altruism at heart if that's the case. 

I think debt is incredibly relevant to war, and should be weighed before we start conducting war. I don't think it's hard to imagine why an ever increasing debt is bad. You can pay 100 dollars for something, or you can take a loan and pay interest. If you do that here and there, it can be responsible. But in a few years, interest payments will be the number one expenditure of the US government if we keep this trend. That money has to be paid back, and it means that younger generations are responsible for the decisions that were made before them. That's passing the buck, which I don't personally think is fair. I think we should leave things better than we found them.

Tensions escalated, however, when Mamdani was pressed on his views about Israel. He was asked to account for his support for the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, which seeks to isolate Israel from the global economy, including scientific and cultural exchange. He explained his position as a matter of aligning New York City with international law. “Wherever Eric Adams’s administration or another administration has taken us out of compliance with international law,” Mamdani said, “I would bring New York City back into that compliance.”

Zohran Mamdani Prefers International Law Over America’s
 

Jeremy R. Paul, a professor of law and former dean of the Northeastern University School of Law, said that if Maduro was on U.S. soil, seizing him in this manner might be consistent with law. But capturing the foreign leader in his home country raises questions about the reach of U.S. criminal jurisdiction — and whether such an act would violate international law. 
“Allowing the seizure of a foreign leader in his own country to execute a warrant basically means that we are granting U.S. grand jurors, along with prosecutors, the power to declare war,” Paul said.

In theory Mamdani could release Maduro because he says he follows international law over US law.

Pretty telling that this thread has devolved into a circle jerk about Zohran Mamdani and claiming any criticism is pro-Maduro.

There may have been something more than oil and drugs.

Also what's odd is this-

There's also that phone call Maduro made to Trump at the beginning of December.
He said words to the effect of "give me $200 million and I'll leave Venezuela".
Was a deal struck and what we saw over the 3 hours of 'extraction' just smoke and mirrors?

But in the real World, Trump released Hernandez.

Can anyone defend that?

Seems to me it’s a circle jerk claiming some kind of war was started.
