@Crystal_Fish_Caves @Cowgirlcarol60 Trump idn't immune from using everything he's done in this term to impeach and convict him, but we need a democratic Congress to do what republicans don't have the spine and balls to do, impeach and convict Trump. Democrats would join them but they fear Trump's wrath if they try.
They will NOT go in there and suck out the #Oil. It is by far not so #easy, as #Trump thinks. And when he strikes again, #Venezuela will become unruleable and lost are the Dreams of the #World's biggest Oil-#Reserve. He behaves like a #Warlord , that's why he calls #Zealot #Hegseth a #War-#Minister. What a #crooked #Gang of #Thiefs.
The fact that he's allowing a member of the Maduro government to be president instead of the woman Venezuelans Voted For says it all. Zero pretense of democracy.
War what for ? Qui Bono - who benefits ? follow the money.

I’m not sure why this person is surprised. Most military endeavours by USA forces is to the behest of business interest. Most CIA ones as well. It isn’t really just America it is a standard across most countries. Countries that have invaded for business interest: ie Germany, Russia, Britain, France, Spain, USA. Name any country and I will give you a history lesson on when they did it…even Mongolia.
Except they don't want to go in. Venezuelan Oil infrastructure is an underfunded, badly maintained rusty mess. Its refineries are operating at ~10% capacity, and drilling rigs have been stripped for parts. It's a big commercial risk just on the say-so of an incumbent President - their assets might get seized by Venezuela again in the future. They might if the US government guarantees their investment—effectively putting the American taxpayer on the hook if things go wrong again.

they can't do a thing. Scotus says he is immune.
Why are our service members complicit in this illegal action? Generals should be refusing this madness.

Koch Network bought a corrupt Supreme Court Justice John Roberts to get Citizens United.
It allows billionaires to "vote" twice & buy elections, and now nations.

And the Supreme Court, yeah... six years MAX.
