We're not even a full year into this lunatic's reign.
And I'm not sure how to feel about it. They stormed in, took the president and fucked off. Presumably they'll install the other candidate, who will let the newly formed Trump Oil have their pick of it.
And still, I'd take that over what they normally do, which is invade, terrorise the whole country for a decade or two, murder and torture a load of civilians, and then do all the other stuff anyway. I'm not sure how many times they can do this to regimes they don't like. I'd assume that all the other tin pot dictators are on the phone right now ordering a lot of very thick underground bunkers, and enough tins of beans to last 20 years.
We live in interesting times...
Trump is actually now saying that the US will install a puppet state and have the American military take over their oil industry.
Yeah, the US invasion of Venezuela is setting precedence and signal to China's annexation of Taiwan and dampens the illegality of Russian invasion of Ukraine. It's a successful move on Trump and creates a "rally around the flag" effect on voters and distract them from Epstein files.
Except there's no "rally around the flag" going on? No one has Venezuela on their bingo cards.
I expected worse.
Like a tactical nuke in a major city type worse.
So the fact he hasn't nuked anyone is better than my expectations.
3 years left...
We might lose a city or two from nukes... 👀
