"Rude to refuse" being taken over by USA.. 😂

And "greater good" to go to war against another member of NATO? Are you for real? Danmark has Europe's and NATO's full support here. Then NATO is dead, but that's probably what America wants.

Errr excuse me, Europe is hellbent on eradicating itself, its people, its culture and its heritage. America can save Greenland from woke globalism and the death of another country to the diversity madness and authoritarianism required to systematically wipe out a nations inhabitants.

Trump can save Greenland from itself.

Lol. You're an American, what do you know about Europe..

Why don't the whole world become states of America then, so we are all saved? Your dictator wants to rule the world, that is just up his alley 😆

How could anyone possibly believe that the winner of the FIFA Inaugural Peace Prize could do something like this to a peaceful sovereign nation? Surely Trump wasn't involved with this strike. There must be a mistake and a grave misunderstanding here. He's a man of peace. This is all a witch hunt. Fake News from the radical left and the deep state. There is no way Trump would ever illegally bomb another country and kidnap its president. He would never do something like this just for oil and his other personal interests. RIGGED!

Drugs & politics make for a potent cocktail that can topple regimes overnight,as seen in the U.S. capture of Maduro , what a blow against narco trafficking, with NYC x Mayor Adams cheering it on while tying it to the city's fentanyl crisis. The left is truly heinous for allowing this to happen.

Eeeeer, your hero Trump was responsible for all the stuff you keep blaming on the left from 2016 till 2020, so why didn't he do all his crap then, after all, he was chucked out by the Dems for being useless in 2020, eh..............🤗

Of course, it's a ridiculous lie for the MAGA gullible. 🤣

Venezuela is not involved in Fentanyl production or traffic. It's a relatively minor producer of cocaine, which is mainly exported to Europe.

I'm with Marlene.

A summary of some of the points raised by former US Naval Intelligence Officer Malcolm Nance from the interview linked below:

Was the kidnap negotiated? The whole operation took such little time it's possible that The Minister of Defense Vladimir Padrino Lopez and his Minister of the Interior, who is far more hardline and brutal than Cabello, may have been the opposition that negotiated his departure because there was almost no military response

the US did not conduct a regime change operation, it conducted a leadership change

The Minister of Defense, the Vice President, the Minister of the Interior, hardest of hardliners. They are all in

power and they have control of the government right now.

Drugs are still going to flow out of Venezuela to Mexico to Spain because they don't come to the United States.

Will Karina Micardo, who won the Nobel Peace Prize this year come back?

When asked if he'll support her, Trump was just sort of saying we're going to have a look at that right now.

Is it safe for her to come back for who will the armed forces side with?

Some of the state controllers, thugs, came out and were shooting at people that were celebrating.

No fentanyl coming from Venezuela. It's about oil.

Where next Donald Iran ? hows his ceasefire deal going between Russia and Ukraine ? a bully a thief and now a dictator like Putin. God bless America.

The US only needs the heavy oil that Venezuela has to feed its US refinery industry, since these days its primarily light crude shale type of production they have domestically. While the Venezuela action official pretext is drug trafficking and narco-terrorism, most see the bs and point to oil as the primary motives, fitting a historical pattern of US interventions for resource access. Since the USA has now effectively pirated Venezuela it remains to be seen what China and Russia will do about that having heavily invested in Venezuela. The geopolitical storms are just building.

Not only about stealing the oil and resources, but cutting off China. They keep poking them.

Let's just hope it doesn't turn into an insurgency for the US.

Hegseth, Rubio et al are all a bit gung ho at the moment. FAFO. Watch out the rest of the world indeed. High on ego. Funny thing is, most of this lot will likely be looking at prison time themselves once Trump is out.

As for China, they still hold the ultimate FAFO tool for the US. Rare Earths, and I bet Trump won't do f*** all if they now invade Taiwan.

And Maduro? A bit rich coming from the land of gun ownership, run by a convicted felon, to charge Maduro with possessing firearms; "machine guns and destructive devices". Couldn't they get him on a parking charge as well?

Finally. There is some irony in the fact that the US is rounding up, and kicking out Venezuelans, saying they are in the US illegally, only for they themselves to illegally enter Venezuela. You couldn't make this stuff up.

On top of it, most Venezuelian immigrants were opponents to the current regime.

Just so everyone is on the same page here.

Things are starting to heat up a little, Venezuela is rich in oil and in rare earths which China has been getting BOTH (oil and rare earths) from Venezuela, they have been running the mines extracting the rare earths metals, China is not a good loser and will not bend to Trump's theatrics, currently they asking for the immediate release of the Maduro couple, let's see how Trump will deal with it, now one can say why is China so worry about the UN charter not allowing a country to invade another but their worry about Russia invading Ukraine contradicts their stance in Venezuela, China it's all about the money and cheap oil and monopoly of rare earths metals

This U.S. operation is analyzed as a move to check China, which has expanded its influence in Latin America using Venezuela as a foothold. Under Maduro’s regime, Venezuela has exported most of its oil—produced while evading U.S. sanctions—to China and has actively cooperated with Beijing’s Latin American strategy.

Why is petroleum so important, anyway?

I had thought that the world had signed some agreement to keep CO2 to a minimum.

Any burning of fossil fuels will very soon push us over our 2-degree climate target.

Everybody already agreed to this target.

So then, why not let Venezuela just keep their oil?

Most of the leaders around the world are calling out Trump for what he is. Even our spineless PM starmer has put the boot into trump.

And Trump couldn't care less about drugs, his goal has been, and always will be, enrichen USA, himself and and his elite friends, by stealing oil, gas and rare minerals. Saying otherwise is the definition of being naive.

Why would he otherwise set Honduras' drugs trafficking convicted president free?

USA and Trump have become the biggest bullies in the world. And many of you guys here are cheering for it. I'm speechless.

I don't think the international left get the same news feeds as many others do. It appears the only ones crying are the people who sympathize with his regime of crime. The charges go back to 1999 ,spanning Clinton,Bush,Obama Biden & Trump.
