Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the attack as a “clear violation of Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations.”
And now USA has been out threatening Mexico too. 😬
And Colombia
And Cuba.
did the US, just conquer a whole nation overnight?
did the US, just conquer a whole nation overnight?
if you only listen to US media you might think so; at the press conference today Trump said “we’ll run it” as if they already control it, and he also claimed that Vice President (now acting president) Delcy Rodríguez told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that “we’ll do whatever you need”. However, a few hours later:
so, no, although the US has kidnapped their president, at this point in time they have not actually conquered the nation.

No, So far we’ve only kidnapped their leader and are holding him hostage.
They couped it, but the signals were there some months ago, and it has been something in the works for about two decades. I hate it, I hate them and everyone who enables it. 😐
I mean, maybe… Still a lot of work to do for that to be ensured, but as far as international politics go, there are so many people talking about the US that the US can mostly just ignore it and that would have been the largest roadblock here.
Basically, hard to think of a better place to be if someone wanted Venezuela to be the 51st state.
Naw, dropped a bunch of bombs, murdered a bunch of people, and kidnapped a leader.
tbf, I asked it the morning it happened and no one had any idea what’s going on.
US needs to become a pariah state
Finally something they can be number one at!
(fuck Sasha Baron Cohen, but this comment is funnier if read in Borat’s voice)
The United States of America, number one asshole country in the world.
man, I’m really looking forward to the collateral damage on this one.
surely this will be enough to stop him, right??
/s
this feckless impotent bag of vile rotten shit won’t stop unless forced to stop.
I wonder how long the streets in the US will remain relatively safe before other countries like Canada and Mexico band together to stop him.
Hey man, Canadian here. If you are an American, me and the rest of the world would actually love it if you and your patriotic brethren could band together with that plucky revolutionary spirit of yours and exercise your own Constitutional rights to take up the arms you own against the tyrannical government you allowed to come to power. It would be real cool if you could, Idk? Lay down your own lives for the ideals of life, liberty and the American dream BEFORE we have to lay down ours to save us from you, and you from yourselves. Just a thought.
don’t know where you got your information but 2A Americunts are the reason why we’re in the mess we’re in.
as for putting my life down for my country, couldn’t give a shit less. all I can protect is my family.
if you’d looking to scratch that civil war itch though, might I recommend the 2024 movie, “Civil War”? although life isn’t a movie, this movie really drives home the absolute clusterfuck a civil war in America would be.
You asked when Canadians and Mexicans would come and save you, and I don’t know where you get your info from, but we don’t have as many people or guns up here, and I’m aware that your typical 2A American is the reason you’re in the mess you’re in, but if I got my info from the right public school system, your Constitution isn’t just exclusive to Republicans and gun stores sell guns to Democrats too?
don’t know where you got your information but 2A Americunts are the reason why we’re in the mess we’re in.
Ha! Odds are pretty good the USA arms your country; we are the biggest arms dealer on Earth. Stop buying our weapons if you don’t like it.
You feed the beast, in one way or another.
They’re seemingly American, so yeah, seems pretty likely that Americans probably buy and sell guns to Americans. Up here in Canada we don’t even need to actually purchase them from you for them to make their way across the Lakes and end up here anyway, so yeah, it’s a little hard to just “stop buying them” when the sheer amount of guns you make nearly constitutes a public emergency in Canada.
Firearm sales have TRIPLED since 2000, not even counting military equipment, which we make the most of, also.
Every state of the USA is part of the arms industry, even Hawaii. We make bullets, missiles, bombs, and everything else, and ship it all around the world. If there’s a battle or war, we’re making money off of it.
If you believe this drivel I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. What you say is in the correct spirit, but your assumptions are way off.
Which part? Give me a breakdown.
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Post news articles onlyIt’s literally the first part of the first rule!
There are already several articles about the issue?Edit:
Without explaining why this should be here you risk the mods removing it.
I have no idea why I’m downvoted for pointing that out?you’re right, but I think people are more focused that the US just invaded and conquered a nation for oil… again
There are already several articles posted about the issue.
2nd part of the rule:
Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
So without explaining why this should be here you risk the mods removing it.
Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
Thanks. I’ve edited the post to link to the same source’s text article instead (and linked the corresponding video this post originally linked to in the post body)
Nice. 👍
Goddam people are weird here???
The post being changed to link to the article means it’s more likely to stay up, and the video is still linked in the accompanying text to the post.
How is it possible to be so butthurt as to downvote this?
Is it not an article at the top, and a video added in the description?
Or are you complaining that the source isn’t considered news by you
It was edited. Originally the link was only to the video.
And I’m downvoted for asking. Oh well. Guess we should just trust the lot and never ask, lol
Do not concern yourself too much with downvotes. In this case, it was probably because they can’t tell it was edited so your comment looks out of place.
There are lots of weird downvotes here??
All I can say is it wasn’t me. It’s fair to ask questions.
Read his response to me later, OP changed it.
Best distraction from the Epstein files he’s come up with so far. I hate it.
