@shooter Voicing the appeal of Trump’s position in line to vote for Walz?
Not me. I was skeptical he would do much, but wary of the military presence there (why I started this thread three times!). This is a MAJOR development in US foreign policy.Trump doesn’t f*ck around. How many thought that when Trump mentioned we might engage in ground operations he meant capturing the head of state?
Some people are saying its the very best military operation of all-time.
Well, if that's what a Trump war looks like, then I'm all for it. Over in a few hours, no casualties, the oppressed cheering in the streets, and (hopefully) a halt to the flow of drugs.
Has to be one of the most successful military operations
Canada could be a big, big loser in this. Should've taken the deal.
”Canada has not recognized the illegitimate regime of Maduro since it stole the 2018 election”…. Carney
I think what dbm meant is that Carney might be next. Let's swoop in and scoop him up in time to disrupt Team Canada for the Winter Olympics!Canada could be a big, big loser in this. Should've taken the deal.

Maybe your correct, but there is no historical evidence that Trump operates as you describe. He's argued for exact opposite for most of his life. Time will tell if he's lying or if your TDS is flaring up again.
How it happened.
what was the operation? just to grab Maduro? His people are still in power and they are pissed. Not that they can do anything but it means we probably have to move ground troops in and occupy.

no casualties,
I mean, obviously this was premature, but it was also incredibly naive. You honestly entertained the possibility we did that with no harm to anyone?

If the only object was to grab Maduro, we don't need to do shit. We have him. We can just abandon Venezuela to their future.
If there is also the object of making Trump look like a victorious conqueror, then, well...
The object is to flip Venezuela away from China and Russia. I'm guessing we don't stop meddling until we get the govt. we can at least tolerate, which means one that will rid itself of Chinese influence. This is more a "This is our hemisphere, bitch" move than anything.what was the operation? just to grab Maduro? His people are still in power and they are pissed.

All I can say at this point is, they better have the goods on the narco-terrorism charges or we are going to lose a hell of a lot of credibility and goodwill with the rest of the world. I wonder who Maduro hires as his defense counsel? He's going to have his choice of the best of the best, so Trump's DOJ better have a top-notch trial lawyer ready to go. A flunky or lackey would be embarrassed in court if they don't have an air tight case.

Not a great track record on that.
