Taking all the politics out of this, it's pretty damn amazing that we just went into a country and snatched up the sitting President from his safe space on a military base without losing a single person or aircraft.

Nobody in Vz was willing to die for Maduro. The parallel to Iraq is right there. We are at the point where basically everyone is happy the tyrant is dead (or equivalent). How long the peace lasts depends on how long it takes the US to bungle it.

this is what is wrong with American libel law. Anyone who thinks jurisprudence that protects libels like these is a good idea is an idiot, plain and simple. And unfortunately too many of those idiots sit at 1 First St NE, Washington, DC

the claim that Vz has world's largest oil reserves is a bit of a misdirection. Most of the oil in Vz is in the ground in forms that cannot be recovered economically with today's tech - and given the general move away from hydrocarbons in the world economy, will likely never be recovered before they are obsolete.

Oil is running ~$60/barrel right now... it'd have to be a lot higher for the oil companies to be enthusiastic about refining Venezuelan crude.

But the President is an idiot who doesn't understand economics, so lol

Let’s just pretend that we take their oil and profit off it for a second. To do all this nation building, will cost money up front for this to happen. This will need to be approved through congress. For this to happen and  “pay for itself” as Trump says, this would happen much further down the line. Do these morons think anything through?

It's par for the course. From all available evidence, Trump's brain stopped processing changes in the world in about 1970.

He can't run the US government competently, I'm sure the Venezuelans can't wait to see how he runs them.

Another example of it would be their "SCIF" pictures from the raid (clearly trying to cosplay the Obama-OBL raid) where they have three tabs of Twitter open....

We are being led by morons who continually sous vide their brains on social media lol

[mtutiger]

So to be clear, for all the celebrating about "freedom and democracy" for the Venezuelan people on the right, their solution is to take out Maduro and to replace Maduro with someone from his own government who, in all likelihood, will be just as repressive as he was to the Venezuelan people. 

So we killed 40 innocent Venezuelans and burned up taxpayer dollars for.... what exactly?

I can't wait for the power vacuum in Venezuela now. The drug lords will be the new ISIS, essentially running and terrorizing the country even more so than they already may do. George Bush Sr. was 100% correct. When you invade a country and topple it's leadership, you better have a good plan to govern effectively afterwards and have a clear, well mapped out exit strategy.

Marco looks absolutely thrilled 

He looks like he absolutely knows that something he's doing is wrong (I've seen that look several other times when he's being covered). I can't decide if that makes him better or worse, considering he's going along with it anyway.

It goes back even further, back to the 40s, even. Not sure exactly when it switched parties, perhaps with Nixon.

America First! Oops that doesn't look right. 

South America First! That's better. Maga morons cheering on exactly what they voted against. 

Red hats didn’t vote for or against any policy. They have no actual policy imperatives, outside of generalized cruelty to people of color. They didn’t for tariffs or foreign policy or regulatory reform or any of that, not really. That’s not what red hats voted for. They voted for their idol. They are idolators. Simple as that.

It's what we do.
