(Why isn't there a separate category for Latin America?)

So the piece price president has apparently invaded Venezuala and kidnapped Maduro. Since the chubby little bastard is so tough and macho I can only assume he led the charge.

The trumpkins who have been going on and on about how happy they are he's started no new wars (as opposed to Biden and Obama??) must be suffering from mass whiplash now that they have to pivot to supporting him starting new wars. They'll probably decide on a whole list of countries to invade now. Need some Living Space for all those redblooded real Muricans. Or new penal colonies to send undesirables to. Greenland's really nice this time of year, I've heard.

Gods help us.
 
President Donald Trump says the US has carried out a "large scale strike against Venezuela" and "captured its leader, President Nicolas Maduro" and his wife.

Here's the statement from Truth Social in full:

"The United States of America has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, President Nicolas Maduro, who has been, along with his wife, captured and flown out of the Country.

"This operation was done in conjunction with U.S. Law Enforcement. Details to follow. There will be a News Conference today at 11 A.M., at Mar-a-Lago. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Venezuela latest: Trump says US has 'captured' President Maduro in strikes on country - latest

The US president says Maduro and his wife have been "flown out of the country", as Venezuela declares a national emergency.

No, I feel that a nation invading another without even declaring war and only on the whim of a demented manchild is illegal on all fronts.

But as the US government is not going to do squat to reign in Trump and will justify this it has set a dangerous presedent that other tyrranies can and most likely will follow.
 
Apparently it wasn't a military action, it was lead by law enforcement. The military were there to protect us law enforcement officers from attack
 
Why would the US breaking international law make China and Russia think twice about breaking international law?

This is what happens when your paymasters Putin and Trump collide.

The American actions in Venezuela overnight are unorthodox and contrary to international law — but if they make China and Russia think twice, it may be a good thing.

I hope the Venezuelan people can now turn a new leaf without Maduro

Rubio reposted this as some kind of justification

@SecRubio
Maduro is NOT the President of Venezuela and his regime is NOT the legitimate government.

Maduro is the head of the Cartel de Los Soles, a narco-terror organization which has taken possession of a country. And he is under indictment for pushing drugs into the United States.

🚨I have just spoken to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

President Trump has changed the course of history in our hemisphere. Our country & the world are safer for it.

Today’s decisive action is this hemisphere’s equivalent to the Fall of the Berlin Wall.

It’s a big day in Florida, where the majority of Venezuelan, Cuban, & Nicaraguan exiles reside. This is the community I represent & we are overwhelmed with emotion and hope.

We are forever grateful to President Trump & to our brave service members for this stellar military operation.

¡Gracias!

At least this ends Trumps bid for the Nobel Peace Prize. I hope FIFA strip him of the bogus peace prize they gave him at the World Cup draw. Are Americans not worried that he will now invade Greenland and turn the USA into a pariah state like Russia or North Korea?
 
So, the US caught a dictator and want to get him on trial in the US. Is Putin next?
And about Maduro, Trump says he is a drug cartel leader? I guess chances are high that Maduro will get a pardon once he is in US prison.
 
He will get his pardon as long as he buys enough of Trumps Crypto, or contributes enough to the ballroom fund.

It’s called PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.

After the disastrous years of Joe Biden — where America was woke, weak & in retreat — President Trump and the @DeptofWar are RE-ESTABLISHING DETERRENCE.

We will never back down

Well, that's an interesting point of view.

According to reports, Maduro's forces did not fire a single shot against the U.S. attack. Venezuela's military has, essentially, abandoned the Maduro regime. Anyone from the regime contemplating stepping into power will do so knowing that they have no military backing and knowing that the U.S. can step in at will and take them out.

Nope. There will be no more drug lords in charge of Venezuela on Trump's watch.

Possession of Machineguns 🤣🤣

He has been charged with Narco-Terrorism Conspiracy, Cocaine Importation Conspiracy, Possession of Machineguns and Destructive Devices, and Conspiracy to Possess Machineguns and Destructive Devices against the United States.

Did someone just make those up?

In what way do US courts have jurisdiction over what the leader of a foreign country possesses?

I'm assuming that applies to every country, then. Why don't the British do a commando raid on the White House and kidnap Dump for driving on the wrong side of the road? Or someone from the Middle East could kidnap arrest him for violating Shariah law.

As a side note, it's still frightening how quickly the cult adapts to whatever absurdities their Führer comes up with. I'm pretty sure that if someone brought up the idea of a foreign nation coming to another country to arrest someone for breaking their laws he'd rightfully have found it preposterous, but now Dump has done it and then it's all of a sudden the most natural thing in the world to him. Just incredible stuff.

As others have said, does that apply to every country?
Is Saudi Arabia eligible to kidnap anyone that is gay and stone them to death from anywhere because they broke Saudi law?

As for there being no more drug lords in charge of Venezuela, I think you meant no more non-US sanctioned drug lords right?

Yes. I think any country's courts have jurisdiciton over anyone who violates that countrz's laws anywhere, The U.S. is hardly the only country to issue arrest warrants against people who aren't currently in the country. What, if anything, is controversial, is one country abducting someone who has violated its laws from another country.

Strangely, though, no one seemed to put up much of a fuss when the U.S. invaded Panama to arrest Noriega.

And the legal jurisdiction argument is really sort of red herring anyway. The U.S., I would think, just committed an act of war against Venezuela. Was it illegal under international law? Yeah, probably. Was it the moral thing to do? Yeah, probably, for both the U.S. and for the people of Venezuela.

And let's not even bring up congressional approval. The last time Congress declared war World War II, and the U.S. has undertaken hundreds of doreign military actions since then.

Farage's position is that it's illegal but might be good.

Because he'll just send the military after the next one in line? In other words, this wasn't just an isolated incident. The US is actually at war with Venezuela until the Venezuelans figure their ◊◊◊◊ out.

If you're in favor of the US playing world police, at least own it.

Uh oh! Tulsi Gabbard has come out with a rather shocking rebuke of the president...

Oh wait, she said that six years ago. Maybe she has a completely different view of things now for...reasons.

You have broken Iranian law.
So you would be ok with Iran kidnapping you as their courts have jurisdiction over you?
