The U.S. military operation in Venezuela is depicted as the point of the final collapse of international law and a symptom of Washington’s transition to open neo‑imperial coercion.

The raid appears to have begun with a cyberattack shutting down power to air defences and communications in Caracas and the surrounding area, blinding the defenders and sharply limiting their ability to coordinate their defenses.

Approximately 150 aircraft were involved, launching strikes on numerous targets, including the bombing of the mausoleum of Hugo Chavez. Way to keep it classy, America.

Apparently the operation was planned for some time, and while initially presented as being in response to “narco-trafficking,” a post-raid press conference ended up with Trump talking mainly about how Maduro supposedly stole US oil and other resources and how the US was going to “run Venezuela” until a suitable (one can only assume he meant “puppet”) government could be formed.

At least they are being honest, I guess…

Trump, Rubio, and Hesgith then went on to threaten Mexico, Columbia, Cuba, and Greenland in rants that became increasingly deranged, while the White House posted memes of Trump with the acronym “FAFO” (Fuck Around and Find Out), which shows the degeneracy of US governance, which has descended into government by social media memes.

Needless to say, Zelensky immediately called for the same sort of operation against Putin, which is, to be quite frank, asking for a global thermonuclear war, but what else can we expect from the dictator of Ukraine.

What is more concerning, is that Trump is currently denying the Ukrainian/CIA/MI6 attempt to strike Putin’s residence in Novgorod with his attempts to claim that the attack was “nearby but nothing to do with it [Putin’s residence and nuclear command........
