"Should" doing a lot of hard work there.Trunp has directly broken the constitution by not taking this to congress first.
Kidnapping a countrys president and initating military action should see him removed from office under the 25th amendment and being unfit to serve as he is a sociapath and nutcase
Not the dead ones. Nor the rest when they find out what a right-wing dictatorship looks like.The Venezuelan people will be celebrating when they wake up this morning.
As the fittest, sportiest man alive, I’d have thought he’d be playing in it…Given the price of tickets and the ambivalence of most Americans, I live in hope that it will be a PR disaster and Trump will be gone before the Final.
Shit houses
Russia acting against NATO expansion ffs. You’ve been gaslit you daft ****.Sweden and Finland have no fight to pretend indignation over Russia acting against NATO expansion, while they happily go along with a Western bloc that repeatedly launches unjustified, unprovoked wars of aggression against Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and now Venezuela.
I am waiting for Britain, Sweden and Germany to condemn USA, apply sanctions against it and boycott US athletes.
That's a Hegseth wank fantasyAs the fittest, sportiest man alive, I’d have thought he’d be playing in it…
Why waste all that energy playing the games when you get to hoist the trophy and celebrate with whoever wins the Final?As the fittest, sportiest man alive, I’d have thought he’d be playing in it…
Russia can't even take Ukraine let alone EuropeThe EU are absolutely terrified of pissing of Trump as he's threatened to withdraw The US support of Ukraine and has threatened to withdraw from Europe all together which would mean Europe fighting against Russia alone which Putin would love.
Unfortunately Trump has Europe over a barrel
Invading a country for it's natural resources and land, no different to Putin.
He doesn't give a fuck about how Maduro is treating his people, we know he doesn't, otherwise the question has to be asked why only Venezuela? Why not remove every dictator?
Dangerous 'game' and once again the US losing any moral standing it had.
Yeah however I would think Putin would be a lot more confident fighting against Europe if it came down to that without the US being involved at all.Russia can't even take Ukraine let alone Europe
So you're saying yanks are dodgy fookers where money is concerned?They made Russia owner sell so why not yank owners. Or does Britain agree with trump ?
Did Netanyahu send him his template?On
January 3, 2026, the United States military carried out a series of targeted strikes inside Venezuela, hitting multiple military and government facilities.
Reasons for the Strikes
The Trump administration has justified the escalation as part of a intensified campaign against the regime of Nicolás Maduro and alleged narco-trafficking:
- Counter-Narcotics: President Trump and top officials, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, have branded the Maduro government a "narco-terrorist" state. The administration claims the strikes target facilities used to flood the U.S. with illegal drugs like fentanyl.
- Designation of Cartels: The U.S. recently designated the Cartel de los Soles (allegedly headed by Maduro) as a foreign terrorist organization. This provides the legal rationale for using military force, comparing drug traffickers to groups like al-Qaeda.
- Regime Pressure: Analysts and some administration officials suggest the ultimate goal is to force Maduro from power.
Details of Today's Attack
- Timing: Explosions began around 2:00 a.m. local time and lasted for approximately 90 minutes.
- Locations: Strikes hit the capital, Caracas, as well as the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira.
- Targets: Reported targets include the La Carlota military airfield, the Fuerte Tiunamilitary base (where Maduro is believed to reside), and the Cuartel de la Montaña, which houses the mausoleum of Hugo Chávez.
- Impact: Massive plumes of smoke were visible across the capital, and widespread power outages were reported in southern Caracas.
Context of Escalation
These strikes follow a massive military buildup in the Caribbean since late August 2025, including the deployment of the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. Prior to today, the U.S. had focused on sinking alleged "narco-boats" in international waters—resulting in at least 115 deaths—and recently conducted a CIA drone strike on a Venezuelan port facility.
Nicolás Maduro has responded by declaring a national emergency and mobilizing defense forces, calling the strikes a "flagrant violation of international law" intended to seize the country's oil and mineral resources.
Post war ourselves, the French and Germany becoming friendly and less aggresive toward each other has weakened western Europe, 3 major millitary powers now with small armies and a less war mongering outlook on lifeThe EU are absolutely terrified of pissing of Trump as he's threatened to withdraw The US support of Ukraine and has threatened to withdraw from Europe all together which would mean Europe fighting against Russia alone which Putin would love.

Yep same shit different day we did the same with Germany and Russia with there carve up now its America and RussiaMate I was being sarcastic to ! Our government doesn't matter who it is wont say boo to a goose to America.
It’s one of the reasons the uk government won’t be doing any condemning. We were very much in favour of that one, as well as the overthrowing of Allende and then supporting free market, social democrat hating Pinochet.The joke thread is that way >>>>>
Far from the 25th Amendment, be prepared to hear all about Article 2, and get cheers from all and sundry.
Ends justify the means as soon as the initial outrage dies down. This becomes a propaganda war now. Nobel Peace Prize winner will become the new president, Trump will get full access to mineral wealth and to blow up the narco-farms, and will put aside billions in aid for democratic reforms.
In a few months, Maduro will be rotting in jail somewhere, most people will have forgotten his name and the Trump propaganda machine and their numerous echo chambers will be touting his strength at stepping up to save the hemisphere from a brutal, drug cartel, authoritarian leader.
Noriega anyone?
Writes itself!!!
