Misrepresented images of deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro have spread widely on social media since his capture. President Trump shared clips he falsely claimed showed celebrations in Venezuela: One was from a UCLA student event, another from a 2024 Caracas protest was also falsely labeled.

BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced he will move to demote Mark Kelly, a Democratic U.S. senator and ex-Navy captain, as punishment for telling troops last year that they are obligated to refuse unlawful orders — a move Hegseth called “seditious in nature.” https://bit.ly/4aJGXoP

Denmark called on the United States to stop "threatening" Greenland Sunday as President Donald Trump told US media he "absolutely" needed the territory, a day after Washington seized the leader of Venezuela.

The oil robbery at the expense of our troops isn't the distraction. But the timing is.

Who needs a plan when you have unwoke "warfighters?"🤷‍♀️
I mean…they really have no plan for Venezuela. Zero. Just big, bad faux-warrior shit and then drop a shrug emoji in the group chat that Hegseth will accidentally send to his bartender.

Always follow the money.

Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests
a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

I think all are possible except Greenland.

That just won’t happen. And I’m not confident on Mexico or Colombia. DEA has predictable relationships with both.

Cuba tho… absolutely. But I don’t see the point. Almost nothing is trafficked from Cuba. Lot of Americans traffic stuff to Cuba.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

President Trump plans to send U.S. energy giants to Venezuela to rekindle stalled oil production, stabilize the country and cement American energy dominance.

But there are obstacles, industry analysts warn.
