LOL. You are special.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense and who knows a little of history could reason that the government and a small group of their narco friends were the bad ones. We’ve known for a long time that the majority of the country are good people who just want peace and the government that the elected to be in charge.

Nah. We have access to the networks of charity groups and churches and stuff. We can get food into the hands of the good people who will do the right thing. It’s not like we have to depend on on their government to handle this.

Also, "communist" these days is just a boogeyman for Trump supporters when Trump acts like a globalist, a convenient throwback to the Cold War playobook. Venezuela is communist?
At least you came out with it. No point is discussing an issue with someone who thinks like this

Barring all the ancillary talking points, this is nothing more than a massive middle finger while we hold our massive nuts in the other hand all directed at China and Russia.

The people bit hung about this on here tells me all I need to know on the situation.

Let's also tell the truth that these countries were emptying their prisons & jails & exporting their gangsters across our wide open border
At the end of the day they will never once give any credit to anyone in this admin regardless of the truth smacking them in the face
quote:
The Maduro regime exported a paramilitary army that is now wreaking havoc across Texas, including execution-style murders, sexual violence, and human trafficking.
The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) was born in a prison they ran like a private resort complete with its own zoo, swimming pool, nightclub, and baseball field. Now, they are terrorizing Texans.
Federal and Texas law enforcement has been hunting them down over the last year.
Austin Area: In April, the silence of a quiet neighborhood near Dripping Springs was shattered at 5 AM by flashbangs. A massive multi-agency raid targeted a TdA stronghold, resulting in 40+ detentions. Authorities had been tracking the cell for a year before moving in on the compound.
In February, ICE intercepted a 34-year-old Venezuelan national in Austin, a convicted felon and suspected TdA operative caught smuggling firearms out of the country to arm the gang’s southern operations.
North Texas (Farmers Branch): Three TdA members were charged with capital murder and aggravated kidnapping in the execution of 33-year-old. Police reveal the victim was part of a sophisticated ATM theft ring run by the gang. When he withheld a cut of the stolen cash, they kidnapped him and two juveniles, drove them down a highway, and executed Petit with a gunshot to the head, dumping his body on the side of the road.
El Paso: The Gateway Hotel in downtown El Paso—located directly across from police headquarters—was effectively turned into a TdA command center. Police responded to 693 calls for service at the hotel in just two years. Surveillance footage captured gang members patrolling the halls with hatchets, knives, and firearms, partying and engaging in chaos while families lived nearby. Authorities finally shut it down after exposing the sheer volume of human trafficking and drug activity inside.
@GregAbbott_TX has officially designated Tren de Aragua a Foreign Terrorist Organization, mobilizing a statewide strike team to hunt them down.
Maduro protected this gang for years.

No doubt. China will still outbid us on some of the Ven Crudes as well. Hopefully directs the money to the citizens. The contracts for extracting the oil will be a major negotiation point with who gets power in Venezuela.

The general american public has to be the single dumbest collection of individuals in the history of civilization. Left or right, it doesn't matter. Jesus christ, you people think like literal children

Oh you big mad! What’s got you so upset? Yeah we do have quite a few stupids in this country, but they are majorly helped to shine by our media.
Last night in Nola a tiny group of people showed up to protest the Trump “invasion”. They even had a costumes pair as a shark and a Cookie Monster. LOL
The media should have been there to shame them and not give them validation.

And YOU are naive about foreign policy and global affairs. The world is a ruthless place.
Think of how cutthroat family members can be when someone dies and there's no will. Regime change is cutthroat in small nation-states with small economies. There's so much wealth and power up for grabs in Venezuela that there's no realistic way it won't be nasty.
It's all about money and power and survival.
To think that there's a few narcoterrorists are the bad guys and everybody else is the good guy, and that the good guy will all come together and make rainbows and unicorns is just ditzy.

Don’t try to simplify what I posted into this.
I mentioned the government being bad and that includes a lot of people. And it’s more than a few narcos. The government was tied in with a big network of these traffickers and it was probably in several countries.

Tell us about the military next. That's usually the extra tricky part in these things.
