In an interview with The Atlantic, Donald Trump said rebuilding and regime change in Venezuela “is better than what you have right now.”
Donald Trump laid out a stark warning to Venezuela’s interim leader Delcy Rodríguez, telling The Atlantic that “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.”
Rodríguez had been serving as Venezuela’s vice president under President Nicolás Maduro, and the country’s supreme court declared that she would immediately assume the role of acting president after U.S. forces captured Maduro and brought him to the U.S.
Trump’s comments mark a shift in rhetoric from a day earlier, when he told reporters that Rodríguez had a “gracious” conversation with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
isnt she a bootlicker for the usa, i suspect she is showing weak opposition to save face, so that venezuelans doesnt entirely oust maduros government.
a nice total distraction for epstein files.
In the 2000s: Al-Qaeda was the terrorists
In the 2010s: ISIS was the terrorists
In the 2020s: America are the terrorists
Al-Qaeda won. Americans just don’t realize it.
They’ve always won and few of us knew it.
You can’t go to war against an idea which is what Terrorism is all about. It was what the whole entire War on Terror was all about. To actually win such a war, you’d have to have bombed and nuke everywhere but your own country to try and neutralize the idea and even then.
The terrorists had successfully upset the US into going into security, spending and warring frenzies. And still aren’t learning from it.
Americans still think they won in Vietnam

At least America isn’t run by a cult of pedophiles. …oh wait.
Nuclear non proliferation is so over
Totally not a threat on on the life of another country’s official. Nope.
Guess I’ll just go back to work tomorrow?
Hypernormalization sucks
For the ignorant, watch this. It’s a bit intense but very eye opening.
HyperNormalisation is a 2016 BBC documentary by British filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that following the global economic crises of the 1970s, governments, financiers and technological utopians gave up on trying to shape the complex “real world” and instead established a simpler “fake world” for the benefit of multi-national corporations that is kept stable by neoliberal governments. The film was released on 16 October 2016 on BBC iPlayer.[2]
Pretty much anything by Adam Curtis is worth watching.
HyperNormalisation has its flaws (too big of a focus on a single “theory of everything”) and an argument can be made that it emphasizes style over substance, but it’s a great experience. Even if I disagree with some of the structural arguments of HyperNormalisation, it does raise a lot of good points and in a very engaging way.
I would also recommend Bitter Lake from the same director which IMO is a more intense experience.
And Century Of The Self which showcases how Freudian analysis got twisted into Propaganda & advertisment by Edward Bernais.
in this case, destractingepsteinnormalization is working for trump.
This senile old pedophile and all his pedophile friends got completely played once again, because the entire government is both incompetent and corrupt up and down. A hunch of absolute fucking morons just took all the risk and blew all the political capital of literally abducting the sitting head of state of another country, at the behest of a “pawn” that’s actually working for Russia.
You just wait till they fail to convict Maduro in their own kangaroo court. I’m loading up on popcorn.
They’ll just kill him anyway. Mark my words.
Trump owns the judge as well. They will convict him of some bullshit crime and jail him where he will die.
Trump appointed judges go against him and this administration all the time. Yes, even the Supreme Court.
Keep in mind, once the Executive places a judge, their influence is over. This behavior is by design.
And no, I’m not so naive as to think the judiciary will save us, but they put out stumbling block every single week.
I am afraid you are the one who had been fooled, and I as well. Trump’s dementia is so bad, has been for a couple of years, he hasn’t been in charge this whole year. The powers behind the throne trot out morons like Patel and Hegseth for us to point and laugh at, all while the people actually running the show remain in the background.
Miller is a great example of a middle case. We all suspect he’s more powerful than he lets on, yet he keeps his mouth shut, at least compared to the rest of the marching morons. If you walked down the street asking random strangers to identify Miller’s photograph, how many you think could call it? And keep in mind, the world is not lemmy and such people. The “man on the street” is far more politically ignorant than we talk about on here.
And yes, the administration blew all political capital with this invasion/kidnapping. Know what? They don’t give a shit and no one will stop them. We are past testing international and domestic opinion. Reading the headlines at lunch last Saturday made my gut drop. They no longer care.
Call them stupid, but the stupids are about to blitzkrieg this hemisphere. Greenland will fall as soon as they feel they have a solid enough grip on Venezuela to continue. And like the Nazis, being giddy with success will lead to them biting off more than they can chew.
And yes, Trump’s absolutely in Putin’s pocket, and who knows who else that we never hear about.
Attacking Greenland would invoke NATO article V
If the USA is the attacker, article 5 is meaningless. 80% of Nato that can reach Greenland is the American Military. The rest can’t sustain an operation for more than a couple weeks without US logistics.
If the US goes palpatine, the rest of Nato are sitting ducks. They would need years to gear up to sustain operations beyond their own borders.
Ok well it’s that or roll over for the USA. In theory if Denmark invoke it. The rest join, we fight against a common enemy together. That’s what NATO is. It’s not only if we feel like it and the odds are good
More Mafia threats from The Don
If I were her I’d be quickly signing a protection pact with China in exchange for oil, lest she get kidnapped also.
Would China agree to that. They don’t want to get dragged into a conflict with the US. Besides, if the US’s strategy is that we control the Americas and stay out of the rest of the world, China will happily take that deal and go after Taiwan.
they did recently met with maduro to achieve an agreement, so likely yes.
Duck, that’s exactly what’s going on. US v. Brazil is going to be like a Russia v. China preview.
Everybody got nukes, it was a fun ride.
Stay out of the rest of the world…? Are we talking about the same America?
China loves getting involved in wars indirectly tho. All the Russian drones are from china. If they give the same to venezuela it will make a big difference.
they love having vassal states, used as buffering against the us and EU.
Have you forgotten the prevalence of Iranian Shahed drones in the Ukraine war? Yes, China is supplying parts, but at least they’re not delivering mission-ready weapons. Not their style to be that direct. :)
Consumer fpv drones are basically mission ready weapons. But yeah, you are right its most about the components.
Oh wow look at all the wars China has involved itself into.
Shut the fuck up CIA bot
That chart has nothing to do with China’s strategy. If anything, China has always been the master at tipping scales without direct military involvement. Direct action is America’s jam. China has always been subtle. That’s simply a reflection of our two cultures.
You got any sources mate?
“High” price, you demented cloakum. “High”.
You’ll have to excuse him. He was
educateda privileged bully in an American school.His father paid for schools, but he was never educated. He is the classic case of a bully who forced other kids to do his homework, for his entire school career. He literally never learned anything, and is profoundly ignorant.
the professors that passed him did a real disservice by doing it, knowing that he was a total failure as a student.
Everybody got paid. That’s all those people care about.
Fixed it
No he wasn’t. Educated, that is. He attended educational institutions. That’s not the same as being educated.
He was exposed to education
The biggest price the world has ever seen! Huuuge consequences!
A US official told the paper: “I’ve been watching her career for a long time, so I have some sense of who she is and what she’s about … she’s certainly someone we think we can work at a much more professional level than we were able to do with him [Maduro].” Whether she knew it or not, Rodríguez appears to have been part of Trump’s plan for Venezuela for months.
So basically the left hand has no fucking clue what the right hand is doing. No, scratch that, the right index finger has no idea what the right middle finger is doing.
Trump’s handlers have him well under control behind the scenes, but they have to put him in front of cameras and good knows what he’ll spit out. Imagine trying to keep up with that.
I think $60 sounds about right
