US STRIKES VENEZUELA / CAPTURES MADURO

[Duke Mu]

Greenland, Cuba, Colombia and Iran are all on Trump’s list. I wonder how he’ll decide which one to take over next.

Mexico, too. Trump needs to corner the taco market...you know, because...

Trump has had his raping. Now is the time for pillaging.

Too bad there's not an ass-kissing emoji available here, as Graham's remark would have been perfect for it.

I’m glad Trump constantly makes clear this is about oil, rather than the BS about cocaine that a lot of Republicans tried to go with.

Serious question —

Are more Americans killed by drugs smuggled from Central and South America or are more Central and South Americans killed by guns smuggled from the US?

Answer: the dead Latinos don’t matter. At all.

Crazy story as background



“As a teenager, Marco Rubio worked for his brother-in-law Orlando Cicilia in an import and sale business of exotic animals. It was a front for moving nearly half a million pounds of cocaine and marijuana”

I was thinking of a BJ emoji for Lady G.

Never thought I would live long enough to experience a new age of imperialism.

Were you alive in 2003-to whenever the Iraq War ended? Has the Iraq War ended, yet?

Who's next for a Trump invasion and confiscation of resources? Can we get some odds from Vegas or on the board?

Columbia, Greenland, Cuba, Mexico, Iran, Brazil?

Lady G just loves him a rakish man in diapers.

Estimates are $200B to rebuild Venezuela's oil infrastructure for sour crude and 10 years. More South American Welfare - looks like a real winner...and another Trump Brand (Trump Oil) that is bound to go belly under.

I'm seeing $100-$200 of likely taxpayer oil welfare funding. We can't even get Exxon and Shell to build new, clean refineries in the US!

No such thing as a “clean refinery” or a “healthy cigarette” or “clean coal.”

Trump has had his raping. Now is the time for pillaging.

How does a new smelter built in Tennessee with Korean consultants and JP Morgan financing lead you to conclude that Trump is now pillaging Venezuela's metal resources? Can you connect the dots for us?

It should read cleaner.

The refineries in Baytown (near Houston) haven't been updated much in decades.

 

[superrific]

Trump didn't talk to any oil companies. Nothing is ready to go. He's had his media win. He will now lose attention completely.

For one thing, no oil companies are going in until the security situation is resolved. That won't be for some time.

Wtf

Trump is nakedly admitting they want to access lithium, minerals, oil. So, I presume you finally believe Trump about taking their oil?? Venezuela is rich in lithium, metals, nickel, cadmium, cobalt, gold... $1.36 trillion work of minerals! Venezuela is our South American asteroid.


Trump lusting after Venezuela's oil and minerals could not be more obvious...and he'd tell you so! Trump wants Greenland next for its minerals. Another bank robbery - he has Putin's permission if we continue to slow walk Zelensky.

What’s Behind the U.S. Interest in Venezuela? Oil, Minerals, and Politics

The U.S. actions against the Maduro regime in Venezuela is about power politics and natural resources, says a Tufts political scientist

It's the oil and minerals - not the drugs. Or certainly communism, because Trump just put a commie lackey in power!

 

[Duke Mu]

Wtf

I am so not surprised. Trump is incredibly and childishly petty.
