        We can’t even get a handle on our current administration who the leader is a known pedophile, murderer, rapist, grifter, and all around POS.

        Trump kidnapped a foreign leader. Let that sink in.

        How many times I heard that it’s ok to murder Palestinians because I’m 2006 they voted for the party that got rid of Israeli settlements.

        meanwhile the American people are not responsible for the guy they voted a second time last year?

        every conservative voter is directly complicit with those murders, and ideally they should face justice, and every liberal is also complicit because the Dems are useless and also do this bullshit.

        Only reply I’ll accept is that the US is not a democracy, barely even a pretend one. it’s a theater for the rich to do as they please. but I’ll still blame the Americans for not providing enough pushback.

        almost every other nation would have revolted. Americans are exceptionally meek bootlickers.

            Now is the time to actively resist and prove to the rest of the world yourself an ally in a global fight against fascism taking command of the largest military on the planet.

        Bombing a country isnt inherently a bad thing. Those strikes were conducted with the support of regional allies against terrorist orgs. But I know people like you never miss an opportunity to take attention away from Trump and point it towards democrats.

            That actually says the opposite. That link says that Obama didnt intend to strike the hospital nor did the general and it was struck due equipment malfuntion and the info relayed to the strike crew causing it to get identified as a similar looking Taliban-controlled building. So a lower level chain of command and procedure failure. Operating in that theater and ordering those strikes was still the correct thing to do.

            You can even look at the response once they realised the mistake. Trump’s admin would never do anything close to that.

          To be clear, American meddling in Latam is not something that Trump introduced or invented.

          Trump’s recent meddling and murder in Venezuela is the culmination of two hundred of years of American foreign policy that both Democrats and Republicans have condoned at the behest of their corporate overlords. The Venezuela debacle is not a Trump thing. It’s an American thing that has its roots in the Monroe doctrine, and yes, including Obama.

    “But they’re celebrating.”

    Yeah, if a foreign nation did a military operation and abducted Trump to face a trial for his crimes Americans would be in the streets celebrating.

    But the celebration is going to be short when they realize their futures are now dictated by a felon rapist pedophile who’s crashing his own nation’s economy and violating his own citizen’s rights.

      The AfD is on the way to run the show, like many far right factions in many nation states of Europe.

      The only way to stop tyranny is to stand up to it, and angry lemmy posts won’t do that. The danger is always much closer than the “foreigners” so many xenophobes like to point out.

      Once tyranny is in power the resistance needs support, not condemnation. I thought this was known 80 years ago, apparently not so much today.

          TBH if congress were aware of the operation in Venezuela I would probably be happy about it, fuck Maduro and every other anti-democracy bastard.

          But that’s not the reality of the situation. The reality is Trump did something highly illegal.

            So just like the dems only upset that our president attacked a sovereign nation, took their leader and now claims ownership of, because he didn’t let the dems give him pre approval.

            Again only upset at the illegal act of not notifying congress beforehand.

              Trump might claim ownership, but nothing has actually been done to enforce it. Rubio says he’s expecting Maduro’s people, VP Delcy Rodriguez, to start playing ball as they are now in charge. Hell, they apparently didn’t even try to inform Gonzalez or Machado beforehand to install one of them.

              According to the pentagon, for what little their word is worth, there are no US Troops left in Venezuela.

        Republicans could have held him responsible at any time. Republicans could have blocked any of this at any point. Trump alone was a narcicistic fool with fragile masculinity. Republicans made him the threat he is. Far too many Democrats failed to take things seriously too.

          Democrats had no power to do anything about this because the DNC haven’t had more than 48 senators in the last 13 years.

          Republicans are all bad and all complicit, with that I agree, but I would easily say Donald Trump is the worst of them and anybody else in the party would be a lesser evil than him.

            Right, yet many like Fetterman etc were confirming his goons etc. They still bear responsibility, even if it’s less. They failed to treat the situation with the appropriate respect and responses that it deserved. Instead, behaving like everything was still normal. which is still fucked up at best.

              Fetterman is a brain-damaged moron who can’t be recalled. When every single DNC, Independent, and 3 Republicans voted against Pete Hegseth, he was confirmed anyways. If the DNC held a real majority then he would not have been, nor would several Trump SCOTUS picks, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

                The reason they don’t hold a majority is exactly because they refuse to take anything seriously. Much less the desires of the voters. And it wasn’t just Fetterman he and Shaheen were definitely the worst. Hassan, Kelly, Tim fucking Kane the former VP nominee, Gilibrand, Klobuchar, Peters, Slotkin, Warnock, Hickenlooper, goddamned Corey Booker!? Yes they voted against the worst of the worst. They just voted for the worst and got nothing but shame to show for it.

                Hah! Just saw this. Kelly won an extra prize. Shame and a pension cut!

                  Pretty sure its because they attempted but failed to ban money from congress after the 2010 SCOTUS decision and have been fighting the combined PR strength of monied interests, Russia, China, and Racism.

                  The DNC want to forgive student debt, tax the rich, expand medical to everyone, and generally be better people in terms of foreign policy.

    Acting surprised after seeing the unlimited support by USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, UAE, India, China, Russia, Ukraine support for genociding the Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank is funny to me.

    Now we see Canadian and Mexican afraid to even call the US out because no one will come to rescue them if the US did the same. And they deserve it.

    Nothing lower to me than killing children and babies, so my expectations are non existing for such government and people.

    Tbh maduro is a stupid person, and while this is a violation to international laws, he deserves to be in jail for life after all crimes against humanity on 2014 strikes. I do not feel bad by his faith. The best scenario would be the venezuelan people make justice, but regime had all the state forces. What option do they had???
