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’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.
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.
Don’t worry everyone. Some democrat will post a very safe and polite tweet soon.
They write a sternly worded letter.
it is.
It be
It do
It so
It am
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.
Thr anti-war candidate, according to the nyt and wapo opinion sections
why not do something useful like ATTACK RUSSIA!
fucking traitors.
Fuck this nazi shit country of the united christofascist goat fucking america
Just so it’s clear, Venezuela has ample oil, and holds one of the world’s top ten supplies of fresh water.

As Epstein files release looms, questions abound on what happens next: ‘Possibilities are endless’
If the prediction markets weren’t all owned by Trump and his cronies I would bet that boots go on the ground whatever day they are supposed to turn over the files.
I’m ignorant of the culture and structure of these markets still.
Would the market have to set up a bet for this? Can you propose it? How would it work?
There’s Bookmakers, who are professionals responsible for estimating likelihood of events using maths
But they can become corrupted, or simply told “you’re not allowed to accept bets on this subject, ever, or lose your license”
Sounds familiar.
Ew, AI slop
You DO know that Asimov’s Foundation series has been around for at least 70 years now, giving humans plenty of time to make fancy posters and cover art?
Bluntly, your type of “Ew, AI slop”, is dumb and disingenuous. It became an excuse to hate stuff, no matter the merits, context, or source.
Yes I’m aware the book series is from the 50s, it’s excellent.
But the image is AI slop. It’s very clear of that. Have a look at the letters around the edge, they blur and artefact in a way no human would do, and the same generic overly rendered hair that they always have in AI slop.
I’m on about the ugly-ass image, which is very very clearly made by AI.
If you don’t see it, I dunno what to tell you.
China closes the airspace over Taiwan
Has a different meaning to everyone when you change the country names
Why? Venezuela is not a portion of the USA. This is straight US invasion. Like Zionists inventing “Israel” and invading Palestine.
So you mean it’s exactly like China and Taiwan?
How? Taiwan is China.
That is true, Taiwan is the real China. But I don’t think we were arguing about names of countries here.
Taiwan is a province of China.
You mean mainland Taiwan?
Historical revisionism at its finest. Next you’ll be telling me Puerto Rico isn’t a colony, Korea has always been partitioned, and Hawaii doesn’t have a king.
Well, this is the new world order now. This is what Russia drove the world into: it’s now ok for larger countries to just annex (parts of) smaller countries.
If other nations don’t like it, just hang on to it until enough people forget that you didn’t own it in the first place.
Russia is a genocidal gangster petro-state, led by a criminal wanted by the ICC, that should be kicked out of Ukraine, but credit where credit is due: the most recent era of great power military adventurism started when the US ignored the UN and international law to invade Iraq in 2003. So if we want to talk about who drove the world in this shit, the answer is clearly the USA.
Back when this kicked off, Putin even cited a bunch of laws the UN drafted to justify the Iraq invasion.
Pretty much what is happening in the Middle East right now too. And mind you if Venezuela didn’t have oil, the US wouldn’t care at all.
Yeah, and also that one (at least the latest escalation) happened after Russia normalized it. Also a possibility that Russia made it happen to make people get distracted from Ukraine.
Except that’s only true if you just ignore history. Which is something you seem pretty hell-bent on doing so.
Please tell me you are younger than the TSA
Every single fucking MAGAt, including Barron, should be lining up at the US Army recruiting offices signing up for 11 Bravo.
And every single liberal should be protesting this in all the ways they’ve been saying Russian civilians ought to.
What’s even the thought there, you shot boats claiming they had drugs on them, are they claiming every plane is also carrying drugs? Why wouldn’t they just intercept them at the runway in the U.S. to sieze the drugs if any of it was drugs coming to the U.S. supposedly?
Because it was never about drugs.
I’m sure you’ll figure it out when they start ‘finding drugs’ on their domestic enemies.
