Why is the US attacking Venezula fishing boats? What business do we have down there? Or was it just throwing darts at a map and oops Ven got hit so lets fuck them over??

    They claim the boats are drug traffickers. Of course they’ve squandered any good will or reputation so no one believes it. Even if they were, you can’t just randomly kill people.

    Much more likely it’s to put pressure on Venezuela for I’m not sure. Presumably it’s “the art of the deal” for oil companies that have laundered bribes through trumpcoin.

      can’t just randomly kill people.

      I think they’re trying to set the precedent that they can just kill people.

      Now it’s “drug runners” from Venezuela in international waters. Soon it’ll be “domestic terrorists” in international waters. Eventually it’ll be “domestic terrorists” on US soil if we let them.

        I mean it’s true that it’s just more noise in the horror show that remains of American democracy. It’s difficult to focus on yet one more fascist action, far from home

        they don’t need domestic terrorist excuse. Ice just knocked down all the private resident doors of a large apartment complex because they claimed criminals were somewhere in the building. Took everyone indiscriminately and took property because. why not. whose gonna stop them. Lets be clear. This justification can be. There is a criminal in a neighborhood so break all the private residence doors down and grab everyone and steal their shit. They let you go later but they don’t repair your door or return you property.

        Last I heard China’s setting the precedent for mass murdering anyone they don’t like in their or neighbouring countries, America’s lagging behind - they’re not even at ‘arresting political opponents’ yet

      Distraction from the Epstein files, Israel and the ongoing war against democratic cities.

    Fascists require external enemies to fight to maintain their power.

      Yup. This is also why they did the whole leftists have secret pizza child rape dungeons to minimize the impact of Esptein and called Bidens Executive Orders overreach so when Trump escalated it complaints dounded like sour grapes and…

      Just everything they complained about and then did was to shift that overton window.

    Why is ice breaking and entering and stealing stuff from private residents? We are a dangerous country doing dangerous things all around because we are run by a madman and the other branches are not putting a stop to it.

    Distraction from the Epstein fiasco. PEDOnald is terrified that his MAGAt brigade will turn on him once they have damning proof.

    Which is silly because we know they won’t but w/e.

    RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
