Is the 'peace president' about to start another war?

After supporting a genocide in Gaza, starting and losing a war in Yemen, bombing Iran and continuing a war in Ukraine now Trump wants the US to start a war with Venezuela? Has the US lost its mind or is it under foreign control?

Yes. Trump's saying Venezuela is going to get it because they STOLE our oil.

It's the same US policy as ever, but we're going to NEED to pause on the way to taking Russia and then China to refuel in all of latin America. First Venezuela, then Cuba, Nicaragua and Brazil. Nothing has changed.

@Roundandroundwego I think the US is trying, too late and in the wrong way, to keep its empire intact. Sadly the US blew all the good will it may have had in 1945 by being a shoot 'em up cowboy instead of a good neighbour. China has taken the neighbourly route and so has left the US on the outside looking in and brandishing its pistols like all cowboys do. Complete lack of understanding as to why the empire is failing. Kind of sad but kind of funny at the same time.

Nah. This is similar to what we did in Libya and Syria. We are going to isolate them, and wait for an organized resistance to appear and then back them in hopes they overthrow the Maduro government. If we help them, they will be indebted to us and be more of an ally instead of an irritant.

@SumKindaMunster You really believe that? Experts in the field disagree with you. The US doesn't have the men or equipment to conduct such a war and Russia and China are there to fight the US. No one else will fight with the Americans so good luck with that. One Kinzal missile and the Gerald Ford will be a submarine.

@hippyjoe1955 I do, yes.

I have no idea what you are talking about, I clearly stated that the US is NOT going to war with Venezuela, yet somehow you seem to believe I said otherwise. 🤷‍♂

He isn't a 'peace president': never was, never will be. He's a 'how-much-money-can-I-get-out-of-this president: always was, but won't be forever.

Anything for a distraction from Epstein, inflation, rising health insurance premiums, falling poll numbers, etc.

@beckyromero Your fixation on sex is getting rather boring. The sex scandal ship sailed on a little blue dress. Nice of you to keep trying though.
