US forces have seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, in a major escalation of Donald Trump’s four-month pressure campaign against the South American country’s dictator, Nicolás Maduro.

Starting a nonsense war under the guise of “spreading democracy” just to take their oil reserves so that rednecks back home can pollute the air and warm the earth with their oversized trucks. Can it get any more American this?
He wants to declare war on Venezuela next year (or hopes that he can agitate them enough to commit an act of terror on the US) so he can deny midterm elections because he knows the GOP majority will potentially be cooked
Remember how much his eyes shifted when he was told that elections can be delayed due to a country being at war
He’s not 100% wrong.
I’m sure he remembers fondly how every single news network praised him profusely when he dropped the MOAB on Afghanistan.
He knows very well how much the US loves a warmongering president.
are you talking about the bunker buster in Iran?
No, this was in his first term.
Here’s an article on it: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-39598046
But yeah, every single news outlet sang his praises after this. I specifically remember being on the treadmill in the gym, watching CNN, and I’ll quote Fareed Zakaria: “In that moment, he became president of the United States.”
This country loves war to the point of absolute absurdity.
I’m starting to get the impression that a large fraction of Americans have lustful thoughts at the idea of mass murdering civilians (including children) as well as at the idea of their “leaders” having sex with children.
Theirs is a diseased relationship with power.
It’s not like the Pilgrim Fathers weren’t a bunch of religious nutjobs
We are a nation that really has never given a crap about bombing civilians en masse. Hell, President Obama, whom many still revere, dropped 20,000 bombs just in the last year of his presidency and killed an American citizen in Iraq ordering a bombing as well.
At one point President Obama had the definition of “enemy combatant” be changed to “Any man between the ages of 16 and 60” because the numbers of “collateral” civilian casualties from the drone attacks he ordered were so bad.
Yup. Obama loved bloodying his hands almost as much as Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
It looked like he thought no one had ever thought of it before, and that he was a genius.
same tactic bush used to get elected, make a ware gives brownie points to the election in thier favor.
Do you have a link to that clip of the shifty eyes?
