Q: "Is there a lesson here for Cuba?"
Trump: "I think Cuba is going to be something we'll end up talking about because Cuba is a failing nation right now…It's very similar in the sense that we want to help Cuba"

Trump justified his illegal war in Venezuela by saying that Venezuela was not producing enough oil.
Venezuela was not producing enough oil because of sanctions and blockades Trump orchestrated.

We are so lost as a nation, as a people. We live under a madman.

Let me be clear what is happening, the USA is trying to install their puppet in Venezuela and they won't stop until they succeed
When they have done it in Venezuela to steal their oil they will move on to Greenland, Canada, Europe, Nigeria...
Don't think you are safe you aren't

Trump openly frames military force as a commercial acquisition tool. You can’t credibly argue limited self defense, LE action, narrow authorization, or emergency necessity while simultaneously describing infrastructure takeover, profit generation, corporate involvement, and follow-on strikes.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Sept 1 1939: The Führer announces that Poland is a clear danger to the nation, and that "In order to put an end to this lunacy I have no other choice than to meet force with force. Since 5:45 a.m. we have been returning fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs."

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., says Trump’s military action in Venezuela is “unauthorized.”
“Where will this go next? Will the President deploy our troops to protect Iranian protesters? To enforce the fragile ceasefire in Gaza? To battle terrorists in Nigeria? To seize Greenland or the Panama Canal?”

We're Iraq now invading Kuwait but there's no America to stop us. Gonna need Reuters and that dumbass to tell me how awesome this is. We're criminals. Trump is using my tax money to murder people and steal oil.
Q: Is it possible that the US ends up administering Venezuela for years?
TRUMP: Well, you know, it won't cost us anything because the money coming out of the ground is very substantial

The drug trafficking accusation is a ruse. Donald Trump and JD Vance’s own statements acknowledge the real reason behind this illegal attack: their gluttonous pursuit of oil.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Q: Who will run Venezuela?
Trump: "It's largely going to be for a period of time the people that are standing right behind me. We're going to be running it."
Behind Trump is Marco Rubio, General Cain, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and John Ratcliffe.

A side story is there’s a ton of insider trading on these prediction markets. New accounts making hundreds of thousands on their first and only trade, that maduro would be ousted. Seems like insider trading is legal if not encouraged on these platforms

Q: China, Russia, and Iran have interests in Venezuela. How does this operation affect your relationships with them?

Who wants the US or any country randomly invading their neighbors, starting wars, and stealing oil again?! That has always made us and the world less safe.
We forget World War I and World War II and what we built to prevent them at our peril.
