President Trump offered few details about how the United States would oversee Venezuela and for how long, but said its oil industry would “make a lot of money” under U.S. leadership. President Nicolás Maduro and his wife were being taken to New York to stand trial on drug and weapons charges.

How’s rest of the Epstein files? Released yet?
Trump announces he’s annexing Venezuela in front of the entire world.
Not annexing, just a puppet state
How do they expect to do that without occupation? Ain’t nobody actually thinking things through in this administration.
I wonder if they’re just doing what ChatGPT tells them
That’s a scary thought.
He’ll do it through pressure on the new government
He’s not even pretending that it’s for “freedom” or whatever bullshit excuse they used the last time. He’s outright saying that it’s for the oil. Fucking hell.
He will run it magically with meat shields produced in the ghetto’s of the US.
POTTERY BARN RULE!!!
Looks like the USA is running it pretty well so far. Lots of videos of violence in Venezuela.
Maybe we should make Venezuela a territory and its people citizens. Then at least they could have rights. (USA running it like Iraq and Afghanistan were run by the USA will cause more people to flee, possibly to the USA.)Maduro and Trump are friends
Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.
Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator, and to distract from us learning he came inside little girls.
