Maduro was a useless cartel thug, too corrupt and stupid to extract most of the oil and do sth productive with it. And keeping his people in misery while sitting on all that unextracted oil is unethical.

I'm not a fan of exploiting smaller nations. Trump has promised to take care of the Venezuelans and I do hope they get their piece of the pie.

But one analyst has pointed out that that oil reserve will have monumental implications. It will be used to power the AI revolution and will put an end to inflation and drive the cost of living down. Let's see what happens.

Aha, so that's why Trump stole Venezuelan oil worth $500 mill. and put the money in a bank account in Qatar that he controls.

The man's a genius, and stable to boot!

Looks like NATO "made him an offer he couldn't refuse"

You're right. He said disinfectant, not bleach. Exactly how do you know what he meant? Because it's a ridiculous claim? Wouldn't that be par for course when it comes to Trump?

no it would not. but what would be par for the course would be those that claim to hate him, many of whom cannot even say why, deliberately latching on to everything he says and taking it all far too literally. As I have said before he is not a career politician and does not speak in the same carefully choreographed tones as the likes of Kier Starmer, that some cannot understand this basic fact is, to me astonishing, but then again, what would a stupid "nazi" like me know

Do you actually believe the rubbish you spew out on a daily basis, or is it all just virtue signalling, preaching to the converted for those precious "likes" ?

Love him or hate him, any guy who can achieve the position of President of the US despite a full blown war being waged against him by most of the worlds media and all the worlds lefties, just has to be a genius, and like all geniuses he will be misunderstood by those who simply do not understand. Those who support the WEF clearly do not understand very much , even less than a retarded nazi like me

Just one example: As someone earlier pointed out, Trump claimed that he couldn't find any wind farms in China. Virtually all of his speeches are fact-check disasters. He is obviously a deeply ignorant person.

And clearly there is something deeply wrong with somebody who cites lack of a Nobel prize to partly justify his aggressive plans.

I know there is one member here who's a big fan of the Nazis, but I didn't know we had an actual one here. Thanks for letting me know.

If this is too sophisticated to understand, just leave it:

1. One year after the return of Trumpism to the White House — and with it a surge in supremacist ideology — signals and references to fascism, Nazism, and white supremacy are present in numerous communications from the administration.

   The trigger came last weekend from the Department of Labor, when it shared on its social media an animation featuring a statue of president George Washington, accompanied by the words: “One homeland. One people. One heritage. Remember who you are, American.” Questions quickly arose as to whether the phrase was a reference to one used by the Nazi propaganda machine: “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer”— that is, “One people, one empire, one leader.”

2. On January 8, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem held a press conference behind a lectern bearing the phrase “One of ours, all of yours,” which has also been denounced as a fascist slogan used to justify collective reprisals by Nazism and the Franco dictatorship during World War II and the Spanish Civil War.

   ---

   They are blatantly using white supremacist and Nazi references in their imagery and slogans in an attempt to recruit personnel and influence American thought. They don’t even try to defend their actions anymore.

   Within this ultranationalist and white-centered framework, the “other” is surplus. That “other” can be a “woke” activist just as easily as a migrant. From the very start of Trump’s second administration, the directive was to defund, weaken, and eliminate everything that was different.

Just a list of some of the biggest lies he told in Davos.

Delcy Rodriguez, was praised by Trump as being a "terrific person."

Again , it does not mean he actually means it , he has paid our own Prime minister similar compliments but he clearly and rightfully detests him .

He knows that most people watching his speeches want him dead anyway and his enemies are listening in on everything he says. Maybe that explains the garbled speech. It's actually dangerous to be an open book when you're in his position.

Ok Trump is not nice, he's not this, not that etc etc.

But...but were those before him in office any better ? Sure their lexical style was different, but were they not thinking more or less the same when it comes to dominating the world ?

Next, all those leftist woke pro-migrant groups from all over comming to protest against Trump by burning, looting and attacking law enforcement officers. Can one take them seriously ? If democratic free speech and peaceful protests are part of democracy and a must, for how long will the absurd governances all over Europe, tolerate such hoodlums who just come to disrupt, burn, loot and vandalise and terrorize european metros ?

Why is she saying it's a joke tho? Because they can't defend against US. So that means they can't defend The Arctic / Greenland against China or Russia either.

The „people of Europe“ are mostly well educated, don‘t have to live from paycheck to paycheck and know what‘s going on in the world.

They recognize exactly what‘s going on in the US of A.

About the „relevance in the global landscape“: The US of A has sold their relevance under the Trump admin to Putin.

Allies - who cares? HE is standing the longer the more offside.

Really too complicated to understand what he is doing?!

Trump says he‘s THE dealmaker. But the deals aren‘t for the US of A.

His pocket count‘s only.
