Don Snoreleone trying to stay awake long enough to bring all his racist dreams to fruition. So when can we bring about his personal "civilisational erasure”?

Hegseth: "Trump is deadly serious about…getting back the oil that was stolen from us."

Guess it is easy to forget it was supposed to be about drugs

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 03/01/2026 17:22

@MO0N - so I would imagine, I just wish someone on “our” side had got the goods first and was prepared to use them.

Trump says Colombian President Gustavo Petro “really does have to watch his ass”.

TokyoSushi · 03/01/2026 17:27

So Hegseth & Rubio are now ‘running Venezuela’ with, I quote “a group.. “

TokyoSushi · 03/01/2026 17:29

Like a mad version of when your boss ‘changes your role!’

Trump: Administering won't cost us anything.
Oil will be sold to pay for US rebuilding of Venezuelan infrastructure.
Oil will be sold to pay reparations to US companies after nationalisation.
Oil will be sold to benefit the people of Venezuela.

Also "we (the US) need that oil".

Jesus F Christ. He is mad!
I'm waiting for the reactions from world governments.

Trump says Machado doesn’t have the respect of Venezuela so can’t be leader. So much for all her Trump ass-kissing.

So it's OK to depose a democratically elected leader who isn't respected by their country ?

Asking for a friend.

I think it will take a while for governments to get their heads round this madness and deciding how to respond

So presidential.

Colombia will be a different kettle of fish for the US.

😅

I do think some would support that

TokyoSushi · 03/01/2026 17:36

There won’t be a response from other world leaders, just shuffle shuffle, look away, we didn’t know he was going to do it, anyway…

And on it will go. Absolute madness.

Well Trump doesn't have the respect of America- time for a new leader?

DuncinToffee · 03/01/2026 17:37

He has added Cuba now too

Eyesopenwideawake · 03/01/2026 17:39

Crimea all over again. Lots of condemnation, fuck all action.

The group is Maduro’s VP Delcy Rodriguez

I expect that shortly one of them will emerge from a prop plane, hold up a piece of paper, and declare "Peace for our time". Or the 21st century equivalent.

Yup, my thoughts exactly.

So we're either going to be right and smug Wink
Or wrong and forget either of us said anything about anything ever at all...
