Venezuela

Post by Doreen Peri » January 6th, 2026, 5:52 am

Ok, so Trump bombed Venezuela and then kidnapped the sovereign country’s president and his wife and flew them to NYC where they are imprisoned and will be tried for narco terrorist crimes.

This, after months of bombing fishing boats which he claimed were transporting drugs to the US. He murdered approximately 100 people without any evidence of drugs being transported plus those little boats could never make it to the shores of the US, anyway.

What’s this all about? Drugs? Fentanyl? No wait, that comes from China. Cocaine? (Some staff members seem to like the nose candy. Rubio was sniffing and licking his gums, obviously all cranked up).

Anyway, what’s this all about? Drug trafficking? Or something else?

I heard he wants to take over the entire western hemisphere. And since nobody is stopping him, that’s what the plan is.

What do you think? Is that possible? Or something else?

just like Iraq it's about oil....Venezuela has the largest cache on the planet...and also rich in minerals

these oil guys are the ones running the world....Trump is a puppet...but he is getting off on the power.....and will likely bomb any country has has something of value.....there is an inherent danger in spreading ourself too thin in that strategy.....which is why i'm concerned about him mandating a mandatory draft once again....he could even include an outrageous age limit to that, like 40 or 50.....i have children and grandchildren that would be affected.....they would have to flee.... but where ?

He has mentioned Greenland, and like you said, all of central and south america.....World War 3 is certainly on the table

I suspect this has a lot more to do with oil than with narcotics. Let's face it, Trump is a weak-minded, myopic dunce, hopelessly addicted to money, adulation, and the illusion of power - and so easily manipulated. (Look at that FIFA "peace prize" award... I was laughing & throwing up in my mouth at the same time). Oil = money, which our local billionaires never seem to have enough of - so why not just take it? Easy enough to con His Majesty into sending in a few warplanes & destroyers to topple an already fragile regime. Easy enough to con MAGA into believing the bullshit that this is Jesus would have wanted. The robber barons have been waiting 150 years for this...

Oh, and just for good measure, yesterday he "joked" about how the midterm elections "should" be cancelled ... Yeah, ok.
