The US cannot invade Venezuela cause Russian missiles will bring their obsolete aircraft to the ground as they did in the Ukraine.
Term Limits for Congress/Senate members.
LOL, Venezuela would be like Vietnam all over. This is not like Panama.
I have your ingrezza right herr
For 15 years we tried to overthrow by military coup we failed. We tried to walk in a president in the United Nations in the United Nations rejected him and all of this so we can steal their oil because they don’t want to sell the oil by the dollar they don’t want us they don’t want America just leave them alone.
She is smart❤❤❤❤
Lets do it!
Yeah assist and get thousands of people killed in Puerto Rico that don’t know what’s going on bc she does not know how to make the ppl aware of what’s going on she’s to busy with all her hunch men stealing money like they all do then had the cojones to ask for more money for the electricity this revolving door as to all who have on said they will do this that and we never accomplish anything at the end they get arrested step down and don’t even have the courtesy to use Vaseline 😂😂
ALL NONSENCE.😂😂😂😂😂
STAELING OIL IS THE NEW AMERICAN NORMAL..
😂😂😂RUSSIA IS THERE ALREADY..AMERICAN WILL GET KILLED FOR NOTHING..GREED.
I CANT PURCHASE VITAMINS.
Geez….America has been threatening to attack Venezuela for months now.
And in 1902, German war-ships were shelling Venezuelan ports. Nothing to do with oil or drugs. It was settled by the Hague.
People thinking this military buildup is just for show, the U.S is going to put boots on ground in Venezuela.
Maybe take a nother set of subclasses
You found salvation and peace via DEATH OF JESUS by ROME partiallyyyy : you will FIND TRUE A D LONG TERM SALVATION and peace VIA dad's of ALL ISRAELIANS AND ARABS!
The south American is the real treat to American not middle east
Life is becoming too unaffordable, salaries are no longer sufficient. It is indeed unfortunate.
Like Putin and Netanyahu, Maduro has lots of blood on his hands. These three hypocritical tyrants must go! 💕☮🌎🌌
Americans might care about what is not being done in America.
Where are all the Fentanyl detecting machines?
(NII) Nonintrusive Inspection Machines purchased by the administration were never installed immediately due to a lack of congressional funding for installation, which the previous Trump administration have not address.
* Unused Equipment: NII systems were reportedly sitting in warehouses because U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) lacks the necessary funding to put the technology in the ground.
A June 2025 DHS Office of Inspector General report noted that 43 out of 150 fixed systems purchased with FY2019 funds still remain in storage at the end of December 2024.

Trump be a hero take money from DOJ and install these suckers! protect our borders stop drugs from coming in!
You do know that USA Should have been investing in South America for the last 30 years! The only country helping Central and South America with any importance has been China! America stupidly had no foresight on the Americas!
Talk about dropping the ball!
Clinton had Monica, Bush had Afghanistan, Obama continued Afghanistan ($3+TRILLION spent, WHY?) while Hillary orchestrated Benghazi (Oh ya to get Momar Qaddafi for scheming to dump the petrol dollar), Biden abruptly stopped Afghanistan only to start Ukraine/Russia ($300+ billion USD spent). Will Trump start war w/narco Madero?
God bless everyone especially all the children in the world amen 🙏 God bless our troops
Notice how the media hates everything trump does but no problem killings millions of innocent people for oil. GD the USA and come see me. We’ll have a beer
Venezuela is 3 times larger than Vietnam, covered in dense Tropical jungle AND impassable mountains. Compared to it, Vietnam was a picnic.

Maduro di bri sapat
The U.S has announced it will be negotiating with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday 11.27.25, Thanksgiving day to secure a ceasefire agreement between the two countries. The negotiations are expected to be peaceful but some military officials have said it could experience capture scenarios in Moscow.
As always Trump has lost his mind what little of it there is left
You have to also look at the Russian military built up with a nuclear arsenal. Pete is good, but this move for the USA will cause more problems than benefice to USA. p.s a USA ARMY 🪖 Retired with 31 years of Services, texting here.
Give my messages to women in America, Germany, Ireland, France, arabs, israelians, blacks!

Aight unk please keep the violence down men women and children have to go to work

Dang , just imagine how it feels to know your about go down and the president of the USA has you in his crosshairs. It’s most likely going to war
Answers: The Americans are conducting a risk analysis Near Venezuela regarding threats, for the purpose of building their Golden Dome missile shield, which they want to set up within a year. Everything else is incidental. They have enough oil. They are not going to stop drugs like that. What matters to them is the threat coming from missile systems supplied by Russia. China is also involved in that. Furthermore, possibly North Korea and India; if there are involvements, they want clarity and a clear view. Their presence is therefore to make an assessment of the threat there. And not just Venezuela, possibly also more countries in the region that are being scanned and monitored. That is what they are doing there. Those few boats are a bit of a distraction and incidental. The fact that no one in the EU or NATO claims to know anything about this is absolute nonsense. And the so-called guessing about what they are doing makes no sense. But well, this way, they still have clarity. Whether in Venezuela it involves so-called Nuclear Decoys or actual Warheads or both. It is being checked and investigated.
One thing is certain: Russia has missiles there, at least in Venezuela. The presence of China is also known. Submarines from both countries often go there as well. Whether any action will be taken and when, I unfortunately cannot tell you. It is clear, however, that there is an overwhelming presence of the U.S. Navy. That Australia is selling its old submarines to India is an absolute escalation and intensification of the threat and completely foolish. EU ties with India are also extremely dangerous, especially if we have military components built through India. Why the Americans can not answer the Long range missile question to Ukraine, has to do with this as well. You can quess why, but surely is leaning towards needing them when this threat in Venezuela or even other South American nations, go hot, than they need them. So it might be possible, they are producing, new, for instance we see EU started producing them as well, for instance Poland came out with a long range system. Hereby an update.
u all will be surprise
What a piece of journalism. At least 3rd grade level.
Venezuelans and only Venezuelans should topple Maduro and bring freedom and prosperity to Venezuela. Unfortunately, most of them are in the US chasing a better life instead of freeing their country from tyranny. It is the same as the Cubans who could have toppled Fidel Casto back in the 80's but instead the US government opened the gates to 250,000 Cuban refugees ensuring the longevity of the Castro regime. Please learn from history.
We who know the power of cacique Guaicaipuro will know that if Americans can deafeat Venezuela its because the Venezuelans cut a deal with the United States against their public in secret,,,,,Venezuela wouldn't think twice about submitting to the United States and Chaves failed in his attempt to introduce Naomi Elaine Campbell to the sons of cacique Guaicaipuro, it is a true spiritual battle and those kinds of indians arn't as mild as the American ones where,, they can literally destroy the land if an agreement isn't met😢
Another war of lies for money, do not be fooled, this war will never help us or the people of Venezuela
DJT: "NOT a war but a 'UNIQUE MILITARY OPERATION' to rid the World's #1 drug dealer, Maduro."
Literally cbs is acting as a propaganda wing for the American military complex as always through vietnam and iraq. Quit trying to make this seem ok. This is not a drug war. This is not a fight against a cartel. Yes maduro stole his elections and has ruined his economy worse than chavez by not making other imports besides oil but it is not our right to try and strong arm them into giving us theyre only resource
We venesuelas will rise a tall statue inside congress venesuela with an image of trump in gold..if Trump actually gets rid of Maduro…the country will finally be free
US military, this is an illegal operation. Trump is already guilty of killing 80 people there. Trump is acting illegally and should be arrested. Title VI of the Constitution states that troops need not follow illegal orders.
Total BS fear-mongering nonsense by anti-Trump fake news media!
Show who's boss
Man they aren't even trying to lie anymore. Drugs? 😂😂😂 This is stupid… And pathetic. Looking for an easy"win" after 10 L's?
If they've reopened Rosey Roads, they'll need to chase the Iguanas out of base housing.
Old news please actualice
