Maduro and his wife were captured, but now... damn Trump, has a LOT to do!
- Diosdado Cabello and Vladimir Padrino are now de facto leaders. They can now declare war and ruin the USA image of their operation, leading into a bigger war.
- The way how Trump pulled it, leads that lesser people than expecting sides with him, and that could be a real problem.
- Even if the real intention was to evacuate Maduro, and the reason is that Cuba could kill Maduro, the way was the less expected... now Cuba has more reasons to be prepared
- Talking about Cuba... Trump now has a chance to pull the same thing applied to Venezuela to Cuba.
- Also, Trump could now apply the same thing on Bolivia (to take Evo Morales down) and Nicaragua (to avoid any alliance with Honduras).

So yeah. Trump just started the Operation Condor 2.0, but now China has enough power to make something and has some allies in Brazil and Peru, which can be a buffer.

Also Rubio hoping this will cut off the flow of oil to Cuba.

Yeah Cuba depends on energy exports from Venezuela and without them the country could collapse. Which is what Rubio wants to push out the Cuban regime.

Which is to say we've moved from creating potentially destabilizing chaos in more remote parts of the world from us to doing it in our backyard.

I sure hope there will not start a civil war in Venezuela. Guerrilla troops supporting Maduro may join forces with the Army which support Maduro.

They're concerned about refugees and whatnot coming to the US, but then taking concrete steps to create environments that will perpetuate that reality. These really are some of the dumbest people in charge.

Sad story... despite the video is in Spanish it mentions that now Mexico is supporting Cuba... and yeah, this is from a analyst who saw the current situation.


But that means that USA can say to Mexico: "I took down Maduro, I can do the same to you"

The treasonous eunuchs, who rageshat themselves over Obama's Congress-approved removal of terrorists in remote Pakistan, seem to think murder on the high seas and abducting heads of state is all just fine. Shocking, just shocking. Trump is basically destroying international law. Wow. Xi is fucking thrilled right now.

You know guys, I'm starting to suspect that Trump didn't deserve the distinction of something as prestigious as the FIFA Peace Prize.

Knocking over a half dozen or so governments to our immediate south I'm sure will have no negative repercussions.

A democratically elected leader who won in the landslide? He’s just jealous. He ain’t gonna do shit there. Unless he wants an all out fricking war against Mexico.

She's got a 78%+ approval rating.....but the oligarchy there does not like her....

"Will von der Leyen now freeze US financial assets in Europe and create a $90 billion joint debt to send weapons to Venezuela? While Calenda will tattoo Maduro's face on his other wrist, Merz, Macron and Starmer will gather in a group of willing people to send troops to Caracas." MEP and League Deputy Secretary Roberto Vannacci wrote this on Facebook.

As I said, the dumbest timeline with the dumbest people in charge and the dumbest elites in charge of primary communication channels.

"Donald the Dove, Hillary the Hawk" forever lives as a statement of ultimate irony and a prelude to all the rubes that thought Harris was going to drag the US into a war whereas Trump wouldn't....

One of these is eventually gonna run into real resistance and a bunch of JSOC guys are gonna get Hostomel'd. A dozen soldiers with MANPADS could have turned this into a giant debacle.
