This is a mental take.
He was arrested.
I don't like Trump as a person but it is ridiculous how people here are jumping though hoops to defend an actual dictator just because Trump was the one who got him.

Arrested?

On the authority of whom?

[Wildweasel74]

Is there a international arrest warrant out for him or just the one from the wanbee Worlds policeman.

[Rossfan]

Just the Thug States of America turning Venezuela into a vassal State colony.

He was kidnapped.

Disgusting that anyone would believe a word the orange clown says. Or that anyone thinks this is a good idea given America's track record in removing leaders of other countries.

Read today that although Venezuela has any amount of oil, it's very difficult to extract and maybe not all that profitable to do so.

[johnnycool]

Not sure how Venezuela is going to play out for Trump and the US in the immediate term let alone the long term.

This new Venezuelan leader hasn't toned down her rhetoric during the inauguration.  That may be for the die hards loyal to Maduro but for Trump to get his oil there will almost certainly need to be US boots on the ground and then the fun begins in the oil regions heaving with heavily armed militias  .

Guerilla warfare in terrain these lads know like the back of their hands could make this an expensive and yet another stupid foray for the US army as the body bags start arriving back in the US.


Trump is yet another evil **** to be in the hot seat of the US presidency and military interventions in Latin America, coups funded by the CIA have been going on for decades so this is nothing new, he's just more brazen.

Venezuelan flag wavers out in Belfast last night. I'll be disappointed if there's no counter demo by Jamie and the boys at some point.

[seafoid]

CNN just aired this devastating montage highlighting the deep contradictions between Donald Trump's campaign promises and his governing.

They'll get the confederate flag out probably

The big question is if the annexing of Greenland happens before or after the World Cup. If the latter (to avoid a boycott), then it will coincide with Ireland's presidency of the EU, and Trump also set to arrive in Doonbeg for the Irish Open in September. If before then will UEFA and European teams have the balls to boycott; if after, what's Ireland reaction. A bit of soft chat from Micheál most likely.

What is mental is that anyone would think this is about Trump serving justice on a dictator while he hosts and funds a war criminal in Netenyahu. He gives a fuc about the people of Venezuela... oil oil oil... where next?
