President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to ‘watch his ass.’ The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
AKA: bribe me to not do anything because the military won’t question my illegal orders…
Conservatives.
Good at threatening others.
Bad at governing.
They want to control, not govern. At this rate they’ll be there soon enough.
Fuck me, he wants the whole damned continent
Don Jr needs to be ambassador to Columbia.
He’s going for the objective: North America, south America and a third continent of choice. I know, it’s kind of cheating as it’s one of the easier ones, but they forgot to remove the card when the game started.
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.
You’re pasting your little lies with this copypasta under every post. Stop trying to manufacture hatred against Maduro and minimize what happened by linking him with Trump
You’re deepthroating manufactured consent for a war
Get a grip loser
I’m a literal communist advocating for the stop of militarization of the US. Your stupid made-up copy paste is useless
I personally find making cocaine to be a more useful talent than fucking kids and protecting child sex traffickers.
I would very much like it if they would make cocaine and ship it here.
Trump knows cocaine. he did so much it rotted his asshole.
he became fecally incontinent, hence the diapers. his sone, DON jr is close behind.
Making cocaine? Watch out?
Why? Is Trump wanting to buy a bunch of cocaine from him to throw a coke and pedophilia party at Mara-lago or something?
It’s a euphemism for “I heard you have oil, want!”
I will compliment the article’s author for using direct quotes from Trump.
Too often, the press tend to clean up his grammar so it makes sense and doesn’t seem so offensive to the literate.
Direct quotes like “watch his ass” and “got bum-rushed right so fast that he didn’t get into that” help convey not only Trump’s sentiment, but how god-awful ignorant the fuckwit is.
I live in Europe, so I often read coverage in my own language, which means Trump’s quotes are translated. Translators could easily smooth out the grammar and make him sound coherent, but they don’t. They clearly put effort into preserving not just the meaning, but also the tone and sheer incoherence. You end up with these translations that capture the rambling, the aggression, and the stupidity, just in another language.
I appreciate that your news sources don’t try to sugar coat his incoherent rambling.
I wish domestic American news sources would be so honest.
I remember that being a big debate among Japanese news outlets in 2016, whether or not to directly translate, or translate the meaning, comprehensively. Unfortunately many outlets fell on the “comprehensive” side of the argument
You should see how awful the translations into Spanish are. They make him sound coherent and intelligent when he is literally rambling about nothing.
Indeed!
Time to 25th Amendment this fucking lunatic.
His whole cabinet are with him
All of maga/gop are with him
They control both congressional houses + the Supreme Court
Half the dems are ok with half of what he does
None of which alters the fact that he’s patently insane.
Though it does certainly call their mental health into question too.
Did Watdabney stutter??? All I’m hearing is that “all of maga and half the dems” need to be taken out like the trash that they are.
You first.
Seriously, all this stupid talk of guillotines and everything else. You do realize a full third voted for this, a full third DID NOT CARE to vote at all. And honestly, until economic issues affect them those same 2/3 won’t care to do jack shit. And let me tell you, the 1/3 that hates this aren’t despaired enough to foment a revolution.
God these pithy sentiments are useless. Familiarize yourself with reality and understand that we are so, so far away from any real change.

Show me where in the 25th amendment they mention anything about guillitines.
Why are you going on about legalism, as if the US has a functioning legislative and judicial system? It is obviously broken to the core and the constitution or voting doesn’t matter in the slightest.
Who are the people who are going to invoke that 25th amendment on Trump?
A full third didn’t care to vote because a majority of Democrats said genocide is okay. Maybe instead of criticizing them, criticize the politicians that got us here.
And at least one of you still doesn’t understand:
Not voting is voting.Democrats: Here’s your corporate Dick Cheney loving wouldn’t do anything differently than genocide Joe the Zionist puppet.
Progressives: Yeah, we’re not going to vote for that.
Democrats: Can’t believe we lost to Trump, it’s the Progressives fault. Guess we need to go further neocon the next election.
Not voting has never changed anything for the benefit of the non-voter. Never.
If you want any sort of change - vote.
Man its weird how defensive the purity voters got. Palestine is being wiped from the map and we’re attacking other countries unprovoked but both sides amirite?
Every single one of these deaths could have been avoided if you didn’t fall for the obvious divide and conquer strategy being peddled out by bad faith actors.
The entire reason the Overton window keeps shifting right is because the right wing assholes will vote lockstep for whoever the right candidate is. He may not be right enough for them, or he may be too far right for some, but they all fucking show up and vote.
Meanwhile, we can’t get leftists to figure that simple fact out and then people directly helping these assholes wine about how the candidate wasn’t perfect.
if you didn’t fall for the obvious divide and conquer strategy being peddled out by bad faith actors.
uh dude
Is there something I need to clarify?
Democrats like Kamala Cheney keeps shifting right because that is the type of neocon Democrats you keep telling everyone they must support. Then when they engage in war without congressional approval & commit war crimes like Obama did, you stick your head in the sand.
I think most every president since FDR was ass. I also know letting the window shift further right isnt going to help. We should be making the furthest right candidate lose by tons each and every election just like the right shows out and keeps making that Overton window shift right.
A fraction of the Dems, let’s be real here.
half is still a fraction
1/1 is also a fraction, but in English dialect the term ‘a fraction’ is synonymous with ‘a small part of’ rather than denoting any possible fraction.
This shit isn’t his original idea. Without the Project 2025 gang whispering in his ear, none of this would have occurred to him.
And they can whisper in his ear successfully because he’s insane.
Why would they? Trump is everything the GOP’s been asking for since Bush 43.
should ≠ would

Sure, but where are the unredacted Epstein files?
The US were imperialistic before the Epstein files, in case you didn’t notice
For fucks sake not everything is a damn distraction from the files.
I am so tired of every little thing being a “distraction”, as if it is not entirely possible multiple awful things can happen at the same time.
I can totally understand this.
Now, where are the unredacted Epstein files?
The Epstein files can be easily read by cutting the redacted text out of word and pasting the text only option into a new file.
The press and public have the ability to focus only on one bad thing at a time
It’s the Gish gallop and Donald and his crew are reaaaaally good at it.
The fucker needs to be out of office asap and “we” need to focus on something that will stick. Being a fucking pedo is something even hardcore MAGA can’t rationalise
Good on you, don’t let bombing and invasion of sovereign countries distract you
Venezuela is not a sovereign country. It was a country taken hostage by a dictator. Source: am Venezuelan.
Edit: lol at the downvotes without explanation.
If your country didn’t float on oil the US wouldn’t have given half a shit. I’m glad there are Venezuelans who enjoy being a colony (again) and seeing their country plundered and pillaged while having the exact same small amount of personal liberty they had before.
I never said I liked the current situation. I only pointed out that Venezuela was not a sovereign country like OP claimed. That is all.
People are having a hard time with reading comprehension here.
Yeah, it’s always voting fraud when someone kicks out the US oil companies. People are having a hard time with all the CIA scrubs posing as Venezuelans, not with reading comprehension. Enjoy Langley.
There was voting fraud. Chavez was legitimately elected. Maduro never was.
My friend don’t take this as benevolent by the US. If they get it their way nothing good is coming for Venezuela
I’m not talking about the U.S. I’m simply clarifying that Venezuela is not a sovereign country. It hasn’t been since 2013 when its elections were rigged after Chavez died.
EXACTLY. We need to ask this question
Not why the fuck trump thinks he has the authority to bomb innocent people without the authorization of Congress?
Its legal as long as its only 60 days and theres an additional 30 days to withdraw.
48 hours after it began to notify congress, not even needing consent.
War Powers Resolution
It’s why some call it the “imperial presidency”
Those files sure have something
There’s guiding foreign politics with an invisible hand behind closed doors and there is this… openly threatening and attacking anything that moves.
The US will have a fantastic time occupying numerous hostile countries at once, dealing with nonstop 24/7 guerilla attacks. US empire collapse speedrun.
If only it could commit suicide instead of killing even more innocents before its eventual demise sometime in the future…
The US will likely take the whole world with it. They have already poisoned the entire earth several times and are responsible for global warming.
Like an abusive murderous partner their is no escape for the world. It is truly horrible.
it’s win win for these fascists. this action either gets them profit or fails. but the seeds for another “9/11” are planted during these ops. fast forward 20 years and something pops off and we have another cycle of “manufactured consent.”
the us is disgusting.

Really trying not to sound pro-Trump or whatever this move is, but the US military certainly does not need to be boots on the ground and deal with “guerilla attacks”.
We’ve seen with Ukraine that drone warfare is highly effective and if the US wants to clear a supposed guerilla location they’ll just carpet bomb it all.
And if they establish FOBs then a few drone operators(based in the US still btw) with infrared and some dudes in outposts with thermals will do just fine against any guerilla tactics.
We can compare this to Vietnam or whatever, but a lot has changed in 50 years and with Venezuela it’s clear that South America is not ready for this type of aggression.
Again, not advocating for this and certainly this move against Venezuela is clearly illegal and warmongering, but saying this will collapse the “US empire” is beyond ignorant.

That’s what you get from Ukraine? Cuz what I got is that a dime a dozen drone can take down millions of dollars of military equipment. Our shit is bloated, expensive, and built by organizations that rival the largest governments on the planet in terms of bureaucracy. Do you remember any of that recent shit with Boeing?
In this scenario, we’re Russia.
It’s easy to move in and destabilize a government. It’s another entirely to control a whole region that doesn’t want you there.
We can compare this to Vietnam or whatever, but a lot has changed in 50 years and with Venezuela it’s clear that South America is not ready for this type of aggression.
Why Vietnam? Try Iraq or Afghanistan except the destabilized nations we’re “building” are in our backyard. Great. 👍
Unlike Vietnam, there are millions of people in the US that are either from or that have close family in Latin America. That’s why they spent the last year trying to deport and terrorize migrants, why they want to go after naturalized citizens, why they talk about going after “home growns” after they’ve finished rounding up the migrants, etc etc. It’s all laying the groundwork for this next stage.
We’ll see how well it works. I think they’re moving too fast and it’s going to blow up in their faces.
Who said the guerilla will be in the southern hemisphere? It will at some point come back to USA itself, there is already large diaspora in USA from almost every Latin American country. All that’s needed is a foreign agency providing a bit of guidance and encouragement.
Ojalá
If ever many more countries needed encouragement to start a nuclear arms program…
Worlds largest
militaryterrorist organization.America in all its movies: We saved the world and showed everyone that we are true heroes of freedom and democracy. USA USA USA!
America in the real world: Starts a war over oil they have no right to, kidnaps country leaders and threatens other countries in order to get what they want, and will coup enemies and allies alike just to benefit themselves.
This is just the status quo for you lunatics.
