U.S. Captures Venezuela's Maduro After "Large-Scale Strike"

I thought I read that their oil is the wrong type for our refineries

I heard about this guy who invented a car that runs on water maaaan…..on water!
I read it on the internet. It’s gotta be true maaaaaan!

Iran is next. They have run out of water and there is rioting in the streets.

I heard about that drought in Iran a few weeks ago, that place is hurting for sure.

Hydrocarbons are classified by molecular chain length. So propane is a short chain hydrocarbon and diesel is a long chain. Venezula oil is harder to refine than West Texas crude. Still good for making diesel and jet fuel. Gasoline is a shorter chain than diesel. Grease is a really long chain hydrocarbon.

It is just like Panama in 1989 all over again.

As I predicted on this forum and others, Maduro, if not killed would eventually be prosecuted and spend the rest of his life in a U.S. prison just as Noriega was. But but this invasion is far larger in purpose and scope. Trump is essentially enforcing the Monroe Doctrine in order rid the Americas of bad actors that threaten the U.S. That's the axis of Russia, Cuba, China, and Iran that have helped enable Chavez and Maduro. All have establish networks of spies, enforcers, militias, and have provided weapons to the Venezuelan dictator and his gang. The effects of the regime change in Venezuela have significant ripple effects on the cartels, Cuba, and Iran.

I experienced the Cuban Missile Crisis when Russia stationed nuclear weapons on the island miles off the Florida coast. I was one of those kids led to the school cafeteria and instructed how to hide under a desk in the event of a nuclear attack. Mr. Trump's actions are to minimize the risks.


IMO, the isolationists here take a very narrow, selfish view. My question is, who are you really cheering for?

The best way to say you end a lot of wars is to start them first. But this is just a special military operation, not a war. Because wars require congressional approval, attacking a country and seizing it's leader is just trainining.

Side observation: hard to believe when people bitch about the second amendment not being strictly followed, when the same people rubber stamp the rest of it being toilet paper for their populist. Either you want the entire constitution respected and the constraints of the republic upheld, or you don't. The only difference between a socialist nut and these people is which parts of the constitution each want respected or ignored.

Did we really attack a country, or did we go in and capture a known fugitive that had a 50 million dollar reward for information for that lead to his capture and who wasn't recognized as president by more than 50 other countries, who hadn't been legitimately elected to be leader of said country.
I thought the USA had often gone into other countries to capture known criminals in the past.

I'm cheering for the gas pumps, so I can retire to a warm sunny beach. Lower fuel prices means lower food costs.
From what I understand fracking can damage aquifers, we don't need contaminated water.

You guys are way wrong on the TRUTH behind the arrest.

Trump is playing chess while everyone else is playing with their dicks.

He will cancel ALL FUTURE ELECTIONS! Oh, the horror! See what you MAGA acolytes have unleashed upon our precious, fragile republic? You should be ashamed!

Was this sarcasm? I honestly can't tell.

I think it’s interesting that the VP of Venezuela ran to Russia. Obviously Russia was supporting Maduro until they ran out of money because of the war in Ukraine. Similar to Syria situation where there president ran to Russia.

Watch the Lefties lose their minds over a Venezuelan that shouldn't be here?..


Weird huh?

Obama caled it, biden signed it, trump acted. Now even the lesbians for islam burqas are in a knot
