Trump and Putin are thick as thieves. Trump is a traitor to the U.S. . If the Venezuelan VP is in Russia, the Trump regime flew her there.

Who is the newly elected president? Name?

They’re all in cahoots 🤬

"The blatant violation of sovereignty of a major South American state sends a bleak signal to the rest of the world. It will reinforce the conviction around the world and increasingly among US allies that America is not just a hypocrite, but ... might is right"

"At the start of the second year of Trump’s second term, his message is clear: his US does not just feel unbound by the niceties of the post-1945 ideas of international rules and law, it will intervene all but at will in its own hemisphere — and possibly elsewhere too."

Stark statistics (taken from pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...) - Can the US claim to be a civilized society when it's system makes so many vulnerable?

It is now clear why Trump was wanting to force a Ukrainian surrender to Putin invasion. Trump wanted to do the same and seize Venezuelan oil
