Venezuela has accused Donald Trump of making a “colonialist threat” after he said the airspace around the country should be considered closed.
The country’s foreign ministry called Trump’s comments “another extravagant, illegal and unjustified aggression against the Venezuelan people”.
The US does not legally have the authority to close another country’s airspace, but Trump’s online post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.
I mean it’s basically just declaring war. It’s the US acting unilaterally to attack a foreign nation for no reason at all. Granted that’s nothing new, but at least with Iraq and Afghanistan, Bush got permission from Congress through the Iraq Resolution (and the AUMF Against Terrorists Act in Afghanistan’s case) before he actually invaded. I get the feeling Trump isn’t even going to ask, he’s just going to attack Venezuela, get dragged into a war, and die.
Then again, Obama attacked Libya without congressional approval, and while Congress could have done something about it, they didn’t.
Fuck this nazi shit country of the united christofascist goat fucking america
why not do something useful like ATTACK RUSSIA!
fucking traitors.
Every single fucking MAGAt, including Barron, should be lining up at the US Army recruiting offices signing up for 11 Bravo.
If I were you, I would get out of Venezuela! - Our President.
Then shuts down their airspace and starts blowing up boats.
No escape from the christofascist murderers.

It Is a colonialist threat
He’s desperate to use anything he can to declare martial law, either by triggering mass anti-war protests or simply using the war as an excuse to suspend elections.

Don’t worry everyone. Some democrat will post a very safe and polite tweet soon.
They write a sternly worded letter.
Oh, Mr Nobel peace prize is just grouchy.
Sooo… Venezuela might be the 51st state in the USA soon?
Just so it’s clear, Venezuela has ample oil, and holds one of the world’s top ten supplies of fresh water.
Does the Swiss based Nestle want the water for their plastic bottles?
Didn’t they also heavily develop a lithium extraction industry in the last decade or so?
i think they have 2nd highest amount of oil/gas deposit outside of the ME.
Actually they have the largest proven oil reserve in the world, although it is a composition that needs more processing to turn into fuel. Which may make it unique for precursors for certain plastics, pharmaceuticals or advanced materials.
Top estimated reserves are:
- Venezuela 48 Gm³
- KSA 42 Gm³
- Iran 33 Gm³
- Canada 26 Gm³
As for gas reserves, it’s
- Russia 47.8 Tm³
- Iran 33.5 Tm³
- Qatar 24.3 Tm³
- USA 9.1 Tm³
what the fuck
it is.
It be
It do
It so
It am
I’m old enough to remember when trump would pretend to be opposed to foreign military adventures. He literally built his political career on shitting on the neocons that launched us into illegal wars like what we did in Iraq.
You’re not wrong. But what is missing is all the cult building that he did since them. He built his entire political career on mentioning things other politicians refused to mention and then gaining loyalty for it. While, at the same time, literally doing nothing about any of the popular ideas he mentioned.
Im certain the nobel commitee is currently scrambling how to not give him an award without triggering an international incident.
And the actions surrounding Venzuela kinda prove that Trump is willing to go to war to receive his peace price.
