After the kidnapping of Maduro Trump has been mask off about imperialism, unlike Bush he hasn’t said “Oh this is for the good of Venezuela” he has just said “Oh they have oil and we want that oil for me and my pedophile oligarchs to make super-profits from.” There is no way that any population of any country would want to be treated this way, even if there puppet governments do.
Trump has clarified that the US will deploy troops to Venezuela to secure oil resources, stating that the revenue would be used to compensate Venezuelans and the US for damages incurred during Maduro’s regime.
>He earlier said during a news conference that he would not rule out the possibility of US military involvement, stating, “We’re not afraid of boots on the ground.”
He's literally gonna send burger boys to die to the Venezuelan armed communes.
I don't know. I think him and his buddies are going to fuck shit up really badly at least for everyone but themselves. However it seems like most of the world, in particular Americans, are extremely cucked and not up to put up to much resistance. I think most of us just want our treats. However the worse it gets the greater possibility that stuff might happen against these elite. I think Americans will probably have to be at the forefront of resistance given it's our country that's leading the way in the chaos. We'll see but it doesn't look good in my opinion I think everyone feels like they have too much to lose and not much to gain.
its a flex of power to be openly corrupt
it works, so long as you have loyalty
but trump's approval is declining
>>2625202>he has just said “Oh they have oil and we want that oil for me and my pedophile oligarchs to make super-profits from.”Isn't it darkly funny that despite that, liberals are sticking to the "it's about le democracy for the venezuelan people" script?
>>2625289you gotta respeck the grind
>>2625228>I think Americans will probably have to be at the forefront of resistanceI agree but it really sucks because there is basically no left in America, we don’t have a parliamentary system so the furthest left politicians we hare are Mamdani, Bernie, and AOC who are the so cucked to liberal democracy, we have no strong trade unions, we have no labor militancy, and the small amount of left that there is in America is terminally online and in a permanent state of infighting
>>2625340Le historical situation is unfavourable. You cant force history
>>2625340>I agree but it really sucks because there is basically no left in AmericaGood. No need to feel sad about killing them.
>>2625340we have done nothing and we are all out of ideas
kys
>guys this group is now gonna profit from these natural resources and this labour of the oil workers, and that is LE BAD because I want the other group to profit from then instead or something.
YOU.
LOST.
we could try larping intentionally
America is fascist how is this any different from before.
>>2625202This is in line with the foreign policy the younger wing of the new right want: a neo-monroe-doctrine.
They only oppose intervention outside the Americas, they're fully on board with imperialism in our neighborhood.
Trump saying "we want the oil" means people now prefer to be openly selfish instead of covertly selfish behind a mask of benevolent altruism.
Psychologicaly different people in different times may prefer either attitude but it's basically different ways of coping with constant brutality
>>2625368
I love how rightoids abandon any pretext of being anything other than useful idiots of the deep state whenever their controlled opposition president does something the powers that be want.
>>2625567I find it funny that some politics YouTubers are totally ignoring Trump's open hostility and honesty about wanting the oil and nothing else. These politics YouTubers are instead ignoring Trump and talking about all the "crimes of Maduro", to justify it in their minds from a liberal perspective rather than Trump's actual own honesty about wanting oil and nothing else lol.
>>2625572apologist lickspittles of burgerreich imperialism, all of them
>>2625572>>2625618I have not seen a single liberal defend this. They've all taken it as an opertunity to compare Trump to Putin.
>>2625618>and leftists have no voiceHmmm,
where do we have no voice?
We don't have news that's in the mainstream, but we do have news publication and can insert it onto social media and sell/paste it in-person. I started shifting into the socialist movement through mainstream social media.
We don't have a mainstream place in day-to-day politics but we have our own voices, and once you find other leftists, can exploit network effects in conversations to normalize our voice.
>>2625202No.
The capture of maduro does absolutely nothing but ensure more burgermen will die trying to liquidate venezuelan oil in another pointless jungle war to sell oil to nobody. But of course the welfare dependent spectacle brained pol tourists and redlib exhibitionalists on leftypol which includes its 'anticampist' pedo mods will cheer western fascism on just to spite le brown 'multipolarists' and le 'ziggers' who dont even fucking exist outside of social media.
Both the American military and tech industry is within 2-5 years due to cease function as Lake Mead reaches dead water which is why trump got approval for his retarded diplomatic suicide.
https://www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/reduce-lake-mead-water-levels-climate-action/ it would only work if its successful, americans would bail the second things go south. like how americans were pro iraq war until we got bogged down in occupation
>>2626210Yeah I actually did, I drew it back in December and my art skills have improved since then which is why I haven’t uploaded it to Booru but I definitely made it
>>>/Draw/5371 >>2625202> There is no way that any population of any country would want to be treated this wayyou are right but the world's majorities are disunited, isolated, atomized, internet addicted and incapable of organizing therefore they can easily be handled and outsmarted by the americaboo ruling elites
>>2626204This, if they can take the oil sites by force they will have to guard them heavily 24/7 against militias, much like Iraq. But it will be way worse because Iraq had no jungles or mountains for insurgents to hide in.
>>2626348US military sensor and imaging technology is probably at the point where hiding is no longer possible.
>>2625503leftcoms are ideologically unwilling to tell the difference between between Jeffrey Epstein's best friend and a guy who explicitly called out the pedophile deep state in his speeches
>>2626154>not seen a single liberal defend this…They compare Trump to PutinExternalizing your internal contradictions as the actions of your ontologically evil enemy who must be destroyed? Ok Hitlerites!
>>2626204>cheer western fascismAOC meeting with Bolivian coup plotters is harm reduction anti-fascist democracy. Actually the DSA needs more fossil fuels because they have a bad back and need to use AI to pretend to be productive PMC :(
>>2626337What is to be done? Simple. The work. The work of battling despair. The work of standing on business. The work of having hard conversations. The work of building bail funds, community pantries, and mutual aid organizations. It's all that can be done, and in the midst of that, work as if your group is the group that can do the impossible. Link your group with another group that's moving the same. Work within your material conditions to actualize praxis that can build the dual power needed to challenge the planetary slaughter system, the anti-life regime. If there is a mass that does not align with the wholesale slaughter of people in other countries in the name of powering AI data centers, then give this group a name and fight for it, god damn it! You have to fight; there is no other choice! You have to get out there and talk to people! You have to go to the masses! You have to fight for the masses! The same people that profit from our poverty and misery are the same who profit from the bombs dropping on the third world right now! They've taken all of our futures, all of our peace, all of our hopes and dreams and all of the goddamn animals and reefs and the beautiful people around the world; they are raping you and what is yours, and you are being told it is hopeless. You simply have to fight; there is no world left if you, if I, if we do not stand for what is right. This is naked, genocidal imperialism, and it must be stopped by any means necessary. We must begin to find meaning in the endless struggle; We must begin to build a vision of a better tomorrow; we, the workers of the world, depend on it.
>>2625202Athenians:>For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences—either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us—and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must. >>2626523People who bring this quote up need to realize that Athens got btfo'd during that war by Sparta partly because Athenian allies were fed up with their behaviours
>>2626362They would need a lot of sensors and cameras - more cost. And probably also something that can shoot down quadcopter drones.
>>2626587Yeah, realist geopolitics doesn't mean completely disregarding legitimacy and diplomacy. If there wasn't a practical reason for those things, they wouldn't be used by everyone.
>>2626648You seriously underestimate the US's covert military capability.
>>2626656so it will fail?
