Trump said that Venezuela’s new leader, Delcy Rodríguez, would help the United States run Venezuela. She quickly said the opposite.
Trump said Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the United States run the country.
“She’s essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” he said.
Less than two hours later, Ms. Rodríguez — who was Nicolás Maduro’s vice president — delivered a televised address to Venezuela that made clear she viewed the United States as an illegal invader that must be rejected.
Were they really expecting Venezuela to welcome the US as their new puppeteer just because they kidnapped their leader?
I mean, do you remember W Bush’s post war Iraq plans? The party hasn’t gotten any less myopic since then.
Have you seen modern US military engagements? Those motherfuckers dont learn from their mistakes.
Well actually, they do. Theyve learned starting conflicts makes weapons manufacturers and military contractors big dollars. Especially when the economy is cooling off.
also economic downturns supplies the military with needed cannon fodder which furthers the Contractors needs which otherwise would never join. when the 08 recession hit, so much people wanted to join that the services were denying people left and right much more than they wouldve.
I’ve seen comments saying “my friend is venezuelan and they are celebrating this in the streets”.
Seems that Venezuelans in Venezuela are protesting, and Venezuelans abroad are celebrating: https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/venezuela-us-explosions-caracas-25a01a23e7b936b430901428ab0d0907
they probably want the other political opponent that was welcoming us in open arms.
I am pretty sure they made a deal with Rodríguez beforehand.
