A few hours ago the US invaded Venezuela, bombing both military and civilian targets. They then kidnapped the president and his family.
Pretty much what it says on the tin. Trump ordered and executed a bombing on the Venezuela capitol and took the president and his family "somewhere else". He stated he will control the country until "a transition can take place"
The top is 2024, they started defending epstien really quick
The campaign promises vs what was obviously going to happen, and is happening
They also started attacking Venezuela last year.
Who had him then openly threaten Mexico with the same this morning?
Aaron Rupar is also on Bluesky. Linking to Twitter when the same content is on another social media platform helps enrich Elon Musk.
Here's the same post on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mbjn2cm7ll2w
I would recommend following Aaron on Bluesky if you like his content and at the very least unfollow him on Twitter or better yet stop using Twitter if you use that platform.
Note that if something was exclusively posted on Twitter you can use a Tweet viewer like xcancel.com, nitter.net or nitter.poast.org as an alternative to linking directly.
The tweet was linked from a news site. I was having issues with xcancel working this morning.
Totally understandable.
I will mention if you're having problems with xcancel you can try nitter.net or nitter.poast.org. They like xcancel are both are based on the open source project Nitter.
He's also threatened Greenland and Canada.
And Cuba.
I figured it'd happen, but not quite so soon
I had it for when the Epstein files needed a distraction, which was... Now?
not january, but 2026. it was in my bingo
2026 is off to a great start.
shouting from his bunker "Yeah!"
The US needed control of the Venezuelan oil fields to begin. We don't need to steal the oil, merely control the flow. It's, "He who controls the spice...", not "He who owns the spice..." Greenland is next.
The people who are really in charge aren't as stupid as the public faces we're given to mock. They know damned well global warming will open Greenland to mineral extraction and create year-round Artic shipping lanes with associated military bases/control. Taking Greenland is a no-brainer.
These people didn't miss the lesson of Hitler not driving for the Caucasus' oil fields at the start before attempting further expansion. And like the Nazis, I expect them to be giddy with success, see the lack of international action and bite off more than they can chew.
Now taking bets as to the excuse the US trumps (heh) up.
