What does Iraq, Libya and Venezuela have in common?

[Baile Brigín 2]

"In a statement posted on X, US Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro and his wife have been indicted in the Southern District of New York.

"Nicolas Maduro has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States. They will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts," she said."

I don't know what 'legislation' they have used. I doubt any has been used. Something obscure within their constitution will no doubt be used.

So they are charging him with his personal protection firing back? You have to admire the arrogance

Some absolute scenes on the ground in Venezuela. I predict a baby boom in 9 months!

Why on earth would you come into the GAAboard looking for some updates on current affairs FFS?

Just to you know get a quick overview. We don't all have time to be experts on all the world matters mate

Turn on the radio. Look up the BBC or RTE or any paper that can even pretend to employ actual journalists.

Done that. Some would say BBC not the most  reliable

[gallsman]

Yes, they're famously an inferior and less reliable source than the GAAboard.

Jees I'm sorry I started now. Could you go argue with someone else now Mr angry

[Baile Brigín 2]

Even Fox are questioning the line that the US will run Venezuela until a suitable government emerges.

[Baile Brigín 2]

If you were in Greenland and hadn't been taking the Trump threats seriously, you would be now.

Exactly. Bombing the boats was MAGA seeing could they get away with it. They did. This is MAGA seeing can they get away with it. If they do...?

Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC... US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don't want to "run" a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Remarkably honest press conference from Trump and Hegseth.

"We are going to run the country"

"Getting back the oil that was stolen from us"

The American people  don't want to do alot of  things. Their government, and  those funding/lobbying  them, do.

In the past, they at least tried to dress it up as  some sort of liberation for  X country's inhabitants.  With Trump , he  doesn't  even try to  hide what they're at.

What happened the US's plan for their version of 'splendid isolation?'

[Hand of God]

The same chaps who are all for Ukranian sovereignty have no care for Venezuela surprisingly.

Speaking of Ukraine, don't forget to hand in your homework over on the Russian Invasion thread.

You know, the discussion we were having that you so highly craved.

It's interesting not a word of condemnation from you about rogue terrorist attack from the West, another coup, another regime changes in a sovereign nation and you don't care.
