    The only difference right now between tropico and the us is the size of the country.

    It should be stressed how not-normal this is. Don't let the media tell you it's okay just because some people will be very happy. Maduro is a dictator that has murdered entire families. It's understandable. However, you can't kidnap the leader of another state because you don't like them. If so, it would be just as justifiable to kidnap Trump or Putin. This doesn't make the world safe and the best case scenario is that they install a leader that allows the US to rape Venezuela for it's resources while personally enriching Trump. The worse is civil war.

    At this point, I wouldn't mind if Mexico disappeared Trump and the chain of command.

    Trump is a threat to Americans who oppose him, it is very likely that he will attempt to murder people like AOC, Mamdani, and Mark Kelly in the years to come. Venezuelans, Californians, New Yorkers, there is no difference to him. So long as people defy his will or has something he can steal, he will assault them.

    “We captured someone in another country as per conjunction with US law enforcement”

    You just can’t make this shit up- but they did.

    They changed business. They're not satirical anymore. They are oracles foreseeing the events of the next weeks.

    And already my 2026 bingo card is deprecated. Kidnapping a head of state, that one is new.

    Can Interpol please please please put out a warrant for Trumps arrest. That fat orange thug needs some kind of consequences for his crimes.

    The military is NOT us law enforcement.

    You fat fucking tub of shit, and no amount of you saying it is will trick people into thinking so when you keep trying to use them as such inside the country.

    Because the Dems ran a lackluster campaign that promised more of the same, telling everyone that the economy is doing great while everyone is struggling. Orange man at least offered hope that things would change. People NEED hope. And with trust of the government at an all time low, with some serious money in media manipulation, this is what we get

    Thus begins the first of Trump's fascist wars of conquest. This is how world war 2 started.

    A rogue state with the most powerful military. The next world war is going to primarily be everyone vs the barbaric Americans. I could see it ending up like The Man in the High Castle. A nation fractured into Christofascist and liberated regions. That's if the rest of the world can even muster and offensive.

    The axis (Russia, China, USA) isn't really an axis that it's made out to be. That's mainly US state propaganda that is pushing the whataboutism to diminish the severity of their evilness. Russia is a non-factor now that it's blown its military load on Ukraine. China doesn't actually care about world domination. They care more about economic strength. Maybe they take Taiwan. It's a small island. US state propaganda will make it seem like a whole continent. Whataboutism. There's only one nation on this planet since World War II that was waged continuous conflict throughout the world. Every region. One might even say the world has been under constant American threat since 1945. A slow burning, never-ending war. They feed us their media soft-power to keep us sedated.

    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...

    I've come to non credible comments for a sanity check. I think it's a sign I should start stockpiling food or something.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States carried out a lightning military strike on Venezuela early Saturday, capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and spiriting them out of the country. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is “going to run” Venezuela until a transition of power can occur and the U.S. will tap the country’s vast oil reserves as part of a rebuilding effort.

    Hoping that people realize that it's the US that is causing the wars.

    If the US don't receive sanctions for this, people could also realize that it never is the war that is bad but the loss of western influence.
