president Maduro captured after US strikes

[quintessentone]

Yup

I have the feeling he was cut a deal

The arrest was purely performative 

Trump is all about performance

I'm seeing conspiracy theories flying around that some are saying that it was too easy, way to easy, to capture Maduro and, again, whispers of Israel First and Iran are being spread around. Could be something, could be nothing.

What is the difference between Hernandez and Maduro? Just wondering out loud why we pardoned someone for trafficking tons of cocaine into the US but captured another person and are charging them with drug trafficking into the US? My guess, it wasn't about drugs and maybe not about oil either. Me, I think it's getting pretty Orwellian out there...... spheres of influence, talk of hemispheres.......

Trying to stick it to China, maybe?

Sure.  But you DO need a doctor to officially 'diagnose'.  
And that can't be someone on the internet or some family member.
It has to be a disinterested doctor/team that meets with him and
examines him and evaluates him.

Mary Trump can give that doctor/team her observations and her
thoughts on him, but she can't diagnose him.  She's not his doctor.
That's how it works.

He will never employ a doctor who will be allowed to diagnose him. That would be a 'threat'.

No-one else can legally force him to see a doctor.

But he does have doctors who are giving him brain scans and extra 'medicals', and we can see he is an old overweight guy with numerous obvious health problems, yet when asked he responds that his doctors are telling him that they have never seen anyone so healthy - WTF!! He is clearly lying.

But, as a psychopath, that would be what we would expect he would do. He fully believes whatever he says, because he cannot believe he could be wrong. And what he says is entirely unmoderated by guilt, ethics or moral conscience, it is only what he perceives is to his immediate advantage in the situation he says it.

is weird i am not seeing current events as fundamentally different than what us has done before in venezuela and south america?

it is like getting socks for chistmas every year but being told is completely different present because it was in red wrapping paper this time instead of blue

and monrow doctrine is back, when did it ever leave?

and that line about queso recipe was probably the best thing all day haha

“I've got a feeling 
A feeling deep inside, oh, yeah 
(Oh, yeah, that's right)

I've got a feeling 
A feeling I can't hide, oh, no, no 
Oh, no 
Oh, no 
Yeah, yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah

Nah, he’s just taking care of business that Biden didn’t have the balls to do.

Now let's see if Trump has the balls to go after every American who propped up this Mafia and took profit from all the trafficking

You and a lot of other people are asking that question.

Trumps is as sharp as a tack. Your blind hatred for him just doesn’t see it.  He may have other health problems we don’t know about but mentally he’s sharp.  

Your team was still defending Biden when he was on stage shaking hands with imaginary people and got lost coming off the stage.   He couldn’t even put a coherent sentence together but y’all still defended him as mentally fit.  Make it make sense.

Crude Oil.....

Do you recall hearing Cuba's special forces were protecting Maduro?

Could you still think this had nothing to do with a dictatorship?

The Venezuelan people make a little mistake at the polls (or perhaps vote fraud was involved,) then a neighboring Communist dictatorship intervenes to keep their guy in power and to keep themselves and their Chinese and Russian allies in cheap oil by preventing the Venezuelan people from deposing a dictator.  

Oil is involved to be sure, but can we let communist or post-communist states start trying to corner the world's resources for themselves by ripping off the people who own the resources?
