Oil. On behalf of Exxon. Venezuela has the largest proven reserves in the world & by far the lowest production levels in OPEC. Exxon desperately wants it cheap and has been fucking with the Venezuelan economy & politics ever since Chavez declared opposition to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003
These white men under Trump and Hegseth think Venezuela would be a great place to test their "Warrior Ethos" problem is that war isn't easy, and for what would this be necessary? Access to the natural resources the country has. Theft in simple terms!
#FuckTrump is an open colonizer and would drag the US into dozens of turf wars if left unchecked.
So he can suspend the 2026 election.
Exactly.
Most probably cause he fears a blue control in both houses in Congress etc
EXACTLY!!
He will try even though we had elections during the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan; but who knows what will happen with this corrupt, criminal regime and this Supreme Court 🤬🤬🤬
Well you know if the f***** would quit f****** putting cocaine, fentanyl, Adderall and meth up his nose there wouldn't be a drug problem here
Every f****** single one of them is a drug addict but I'm not talking about a casual user I'm talking about a full-blown abuser and we all know that hard s*** turns you into an abuser.
Does the word warmonger ring a bell. Netanyahu, Putin his idols.
If only Americans were smart enough to not buy street drugs anymore.
He's taking the military to Venezuela because he was too scared of Vietnam. Wants to show Kennedy's, how to win a war against a V named country. I don't know, crawling into the demented crazy between his ears is a job for a demolition expert.
Trump thinks if he starts a war, he can delay the 2026 elections. Again, he claims crime, drugs, terrorists but it's all politics and saving his orange skin.
Fuckwad wants to start a war because he thinks then he can cancel the election. Doesn't understand the difference between a war on foreign soil v. a war on US soil.
Even wars on US soil didn't cancel elections. Abe Lincoln ran during the Civil War (the War of Southern Treason).
So Venezuelan government is evil but so are people trying to escape?
I'll take "The Epstein Files" for $500 Alex.
Scrolled down a bit to see if anyone posted this. You beat me to it! Happy Labour Day!
Release the… #EpsteinTrumpFiles #EpsteinTrumpFiles #EpsteinTrumpFiles #EpsteinTrumpFiles
Say it with me. The trumpstein files.
The trumpstein files!
Sorry for posting here But trying to get any mutual aid help / resources available 🥺⬇️
Profit in war and armaments
😡
Nobel Peace Prize winner wanna be wants another war! Cool.
He wants a war to be able to stay in office by declaring elections aren’t possible during war. So he will just have to stay & wait.
Your answer is.... Wait for it... Wait.. EPSTEIN Files!!! That's right, this Convicted Felon is willing to do anything to distract from the, pause, Epstein files. 🚬😎
One country's drug cartel is another country's fascist regime.
ANYTHIGN TO DEFLECT
Congress needs to rein in O'Demented One. Grandpa needs a vacation. He may be receiving chemotherapy and should just go redecorate Maralago.
So he can cancel mid term elections.
Because he thinks he can then suspend elections.
USA spreading “freedom” in country with oil ressources again… I don’t have enough place for all the relevant meme here Btw: America is great yet?
He will do anything to stay out of jail- including taking lessons from Netanyahu
Good point.
Oh great, what is fucking next?
Trump saw that video of Venezuela's military, saw how much better it looked than ours, AND saw how the leader was being applauded by the troops, so he decided he needed to invade? 😂
To Deflect from releasing the Epstein Files.
It’s his minions. The recent pictures of ‘trump’ are his body double. He’s not fat and orange enough. Further, body doubles are trained to look like who they’re replicating, NOT sound like them. Hence, no verbal statements by ‘trump’ to the media. Welcome to Weekend at Pedo’s, the extended version.
This is the face of the typical #drug smuggler! tinyurl.com/37dj3zh7 "Data obtained through the FOI Act found that most people arrested for smuggling fentanyl at ports of entry are U.S. citizens, accounting for 81.2% of all seizures along the southwest border from fiscal years 2019 to June 2024."
I knew a reformed drug smuggler who, in her drug smuggling life, smuggled drugs in her baby’s diaper. And yeah this is exactly what she looked like. Blond hair and all.
The useless woman in the photo is an actual smuggler! www.cnn.com/2023/03/30/u...
Jesus, Singapore? They hang their Criminals.
😲
🤬
😡...
Everything this administration does serves either as a distraction, a means to further dictatorial ambitions, or to enrich himself and his cronies.
bsky.app/profile/umai...
These are the real enemies. Trump is a sock puppet
Wagging the dog! Wars are designed to do that. Even if he's dead or dying. To buy time for their succession plan.
😡 someone needs to stop playing around
He has the mentality of Biff Tannen and has to keep bullying everyone to feel big.
Trump wants to feel like he is doing something so it’s either golf or he gets to play war games.
The administration has already said they stopped drugs coming through the border, why do we need a war now?
OIL!
Great. World War Stupid.
Suspend the vote. The Fucker.
SMH
Because he can?
Just because they can doesn't mean they should⁉️🤷♀️ Besides it's all a distraction from the SURVIVORS speaking on the September 3rd⁉️ He thinks if he starts something anything he can call a WAR then maybe🤞🏼 We can't have elections he is so UNEDUCATED about AMERICAN LAWS that's NOT going to work⁉️🤓🤭💙🌊⚖🤥😉
"Are you going to believe you're lying fucking eyes or what I tell you?"
Because he will not have elections
What's the reward to arrest the child molester in chief
Trump-GOP's reason of their every action, how much money can they make.
One word: OIL
He thinks that being in war will void out elections... Same with installing troops on American soil to push for martial law to also void elections... He knows he's gonna lose!
Venezuela and every single country Trump threatens has a right to defend themselves
Stupid is as stupid does! 😡
He knows that if we are at war, he can suspend elections indefinitely. Things aren’t looking good for him—likely losing the House at midterms (who knew fascism would be unpopular…) and he will do anything to stay out of prison. His health and seemingly imminent 💀may stall or end his war scheme.
He *thinks* being at war means he can suspend elections. That has never been the case in the U.S. Not even during the the civil war.
He has it in his head, which means he’d try to do it and let the courts stall it, but it’s all moot bc I cannot see him lasting the year, nonetheless until midterms. He’s trying to take as many of us out as he can before he expires tho…
EPSTEIN FILES
What the hell is wrong with this media I am so tired of listening to them. Donald Trump is a liar so it’s his entire criminal regime trying to start a war with maduro is exactly for the reason maduro said
Not a good guy but he’s telling the truth
This has something to do with shady deals with El Salvador President Bukkake
Oil.
One word...OIL Venezuela has the second largest proven oil reserves and the billionaires want to control it, just like they did in the middle east!
if he's successful with his war against crime, there will be no demand and the problem will solve itself.
That is the worst part. Imprisoned & tortured in Venezuala, escaped to Columbia, then here for asylum,then returned to the illegal dictator Maduro? . I'm no genius but I know when nothing makes sense.
petrochemical lobby
Because he raped little girls with Jeffrey Epstein and we know it, now.
Getting ready for the midterms....won't work
He is protecting Russia's assets in Venzuela.
Yes, this. Exactly.
This is terrifying. All we need is another war, especially war on drugs.
This is the true trump derangement syndrome.
This is not about gangs or cartels. Trump wants to oust Maduro so he can steal Venezuela’s oil for his US oligarch friends.
Can’t take over Canada or Greenland by force? Where can the US send in troops without major international outcry that has abundant natural resources we can grab? Venezuela makes a lot of sense.
Same thing happened with Syria and Iran. Right Wing: Islamic governments oppress their people so we need to bomb those countries to liberate the people. *refugees arrive here to escape the oppression in those countries* Right Wing: Fuck You, refugees you’ll bring the stuff we hate over here!
Just cosplay. Venezuela is his prop to distract from the release of the Epstein files that showed who he is. Venezuela is unconcerned.
He’s after Venezuela’s oil, so l don’t think Maduro’s unconcerned. The USA has a track record of starting wars for oil while using ‘humanitarian’ pretenses.
I hope you are right
Maybe Trump should stop Trump Jr Drug use first... Just saying.
He's trying to have an "emergency war" as an EPSTEIN DIVERSION and stretch it to trash the 2026 election!
He wants a war so bad to take the rest of out!!👹
Why r we doing this?
Release the Epstein files before he kills us all!!!
Corporal Bone Spurs needs a war with a country 15 times smaller than his so, 1) he can win, 2) he can thus show up Vladimir Putin, and not least, 3) he can call off elections "in time of war!"
There is no law saying elections can’t be held in times of war. We have never delayed or canceled an election during war. Not once. I hope that motherfucker doesn’t underestimate us that badly.
All true. Abe Lincoln was re-elected in the height of the Civil War, and that's as bad as it can get. However, Volodymyr Zelensky remarked to Donald in their Oval meeting that elections weren't held in Ukraine because of his war's State of Emergency & martial law. Donnie liked the idea. 😱
He absolutely does. The thing is he is really not understimating the level of stupidity of 77 Million people, we were the ones who underestimated how stupid and ignorant they can be.
Just release the fucking Epstein files. Enough of the distractions already.
Putin wanna be Donnie.
When/where Trump is involved, everything and anything is suspect. Confidence is low regarding truth when he’s involved!
Anything to avoid prison and the Epstein files.
But there is oil in Venezuela!!! The Orange Psycho does not care about human lives including the lives of American soldiers. Any excuse is good to satisfy his thirst for power. The guy is an out of control reject of nature. And the GOP sits idle and filled with cowards who lost their value compass.
more pretzel logic from maga. they are exploring new vistas of topology and knot theory trying to make anything consistent out of, and to defend, the daily self contradicting, inconsistent, stinkin loaves of steaming bs that seep from their orifices dependably.
The level of his insanity is unmatched. I guess that makes him #1.
Remember when he asked Zelensky "so you can't have elections during a war?" With the midterms coming up it isn't hard to see why he needs a war in Venezuela. With the 2026 elections cancelled for that one, it will be US troops in Gaza for the 2028 election. He does not intend to leave office.
My understanding is the war has to be on OUR LANDS meaning within our BORDERS⁉️🤷♀️🤔 He's willing to pick a fight w/another COUNTRY so they'll ATTACK THE USA⁉️😳 That's just PURE UGLY EVILNESS⁉️ but I wouldn't put it past these foucking fools⁉️🤮 AMERICA is watching you⁉️ THIS WON'T END WELL FOR HIM⁉️👹⚖🌊💙
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. I don't doubt that he would stage something to look like an invasion on US soil if that is indeed a requirement to halt elections. He might let Russia "invade" if it keeps him out of prison though.
Yeah he is that much of a SCUMBAG to ATTACK his own country....EYES WIDE OPEN EVERYONE⁉️ If you see something say something⁉️ 👀👍🏻🤟🏻 💙🌊⚖🤔🤥🤮🤷♀️
OUR Reputation with the World is being DESTROYED by this Maniacal Moron who wants to be called POTUS‼️
Exactly spot on
Biden lied on National TV about seeing photos of 40 Beheaded Babies that gave the Green Light to a Genocide he funded supported & provided cover for for a full year. Trump picked up where he left off: What "Reputation" are you speaking of?
I absolutely agree!! Even after this #FOTUS is gone, other countries will have to wonder if we will elect another a$$hole 🤬
Trump needs a war to declare martial law and cancel elections. Any war will do
Exactly
Crime,drugs,woke,DEI are all lies to use force to get what he wants! Power is a toxic drug!
If we are “at war” he can stop elections. Don’t think that this is any more heavy than that. Start a war, declare wartime powers, cease elections,,,,, Just ask BiBi how that works…
But, I believe he does think that based on his reaction in the oval office when Zelensky spoke about it.
Our Constitution doesn't state that like Ukraine's does. Ukraine has a war on their soil. We had elections thru every war we have started overseas.
Are you thinking these are normal times with a normal president and a normal Congress to hold him accountable and a normal Supreme Court to not say the President is above the law and makes all the rules?? I don’t think we’re in normal times of regular norms.
Ukraine has minerals Venezuela has oil energy-oil-gas.com/news/6-count...
To distract.
Epstein files! Distraction, congress is coming back with questions
I have read this twice and have come to the conclusion that it makes no sense at all. Craziness.
Right!? He's so full of 💩.
Make it make sense! Good grief
He wants to stop the elections in 2026, he knows Republicans are going to be slaughtered
Because Venezuela has loads of natural resources that greedy trump wants. If he gets us into a war with Venezuela, is THAT going to be enough for his followers to kick him to the curb? I highly doubt it.
His God complex for starters, and the added bonus of using wartime laws to end elections.
One of those situations is not right! I'm betting GOP and MAGA choose wrong!
He wants us to be in wartime so we can’t VOTE
Make it make sense PLEASE.
ICYMI (from 2019): www.vox.com/world/2019/2...
Total distraction and much excuses etc
He also thinks he can suspend elections if the country is at war and the oil of course.
He can suspend elections if he wants, he won’t stop the revolution…that’s the war he should be a little more concerned about. The people never lose.
📌
ICYMI: DONALD TRUMP RAPED LITTLE GIRLS WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN!
Yes he did he is a sick pig in a very demented mind, it seems.
vt.tiktok.com/ZSAgL35R9/ Oh yes Daddy Did her I mean Diddler. 600 children thank God it was stopped.
🤣
Lmao
Absolutely 💯
America only invades countries for one reason To steal their resources
Bc he heard in his last meeting that *if* we are in a war, then elections can be delayed, but silly man, not in USA-!!!
In Trump’s deranged brain he thinks war is peace. Nobel
Venezuela wouldn’t give Trump a plane.
It's a subject-changer.
He thinks that if we’re in war, voting can be suspended. One and only reason. Welcome to Treason.
So, he’s *not* the Peace President? I’m so confused
😆
#EpsteinFiles
Maybe because the victims of trump and Epstein are going to speak on Wednesday.
To distract US from Epstein !
Ask Marco Rubio… He’s been waiting for years. Also those oil reserves are a big draw…
This is not about drugs or crimes, folks. However, it IS all about money and power. He wants the wealth that their dictator has all for himself.
B-2 Bombers 👀
Historically the US doesn’t do well in protracted guerrilla warfare as an invading army. The tropical rainforest either in SE Asia or South America will be a nightmare. The technological advantages will be junk.
He's hope is to stop the 2026 vote... 2025 will be a practice run w/scattered elections here & there. I'm worried.
Isn't Venezuela taking us to the international court because we shipped their citizens to El Salvador?
Like Reagan's Granada and Bush's Panama. The sociopathic narcissists all want to be Napoleon. I'd be fine if that were literal ⚰️
Grenada...
Well, I guess if we invaded a sovereign nation, that would be a huge distraction from the Epstein files. And yes, he thinks we’re that stupid—because he is that stupid.
It’s to cancel the 2026 and 2028 elections like he acknowledged that Ukraine cancelled theirs because they were at war. He wants no more elections ever. It’s that simple.
AMERICA has NEVER canceled ELECTIONS⁉️ Even during a war! They're so UNEDUCATED & prove it every day w/their IGNORANCE... Just because he wants to cancel elections & stay in power he's willing to pick a fight w/another COUNTRY & risk killing AMERICAN soldiers to stay in power⁉️🤮👹 Are you too⁉️🤷♀️😟 💙🌊⚖
Oil. The answer is oil. The company in charge of oil is state owned - PDVSA, since the 70's. Chevron has, significant, investment there. Italy, China, France, Spain, all have "investments" and the Maduro is not playing ball. Iraq 2.0.
So where are the Epstein files again?
So, you were expecting a logically consistent foreign policy? Really?
He is trying to start a war thinking he can stop elections. Don’t let him or his minions get away with this crap.
Trump wants the oil. He doesn't give a single fuck about drugs or drug cartels. Be nice if the drug cartel leaders preyed on him.
They want the STASH.
For the Epsteinth time, this has nothing to do with oil.
I see what you did there..🤭😉👍🏻💙🌊💙🌊💙 Very clever⁉️👍🏻
Why? More distraction….people hold those in your tribe close…as he will use them for cannon fodder & not lose a nights sleep… a rich man’s (read oligarchs) war, a poor man’s fight. So, it has always been…let’s put a stop to this madness…just say & do NO!
WTAF???😡
Excuses that mean absolutely nothing but trouble wannabe etc
Ultimate of distraction. And trumpism combined
Anything to avoid Epstein
No. It's about 1 thing...
It’s because Trump wants control of their oil! They have more oil than Saudi Arabia! Trump wants control of it.
And he wants to play the Bibi card!
Why isn't the media reporting on this?
It’s pretty clear Hegseth went into full throw down brat mode because he hasn’t gotten to ‘war’ anything yet but Kristi has!
Right?! I think this has more to do with Hegseth and his Dept of War and whoever is pulling Trump’s strings.
He’s probably trying to take the country so he can use it as another concentration camp.
Come on Chris pretense to distract. He needs Congressional approval but who knows with them
Oil
If this wasn't so serious it would be funny: Did #Bullshit-Barbie-Leavitt just say that #FW47 is willing to use every #Elephant to stop those drugs - maybe she has been sucking down the #Space-Nazi's left over supply of ketamine ?
Distraction, oil, 'socialism' - take your pick. That said, the Maduro regime is truly awful and deserves everything coming to them. People are literally starving in a county with the world's largest oil reserves.
😂😂😂 trump is a fucking idiot
Any excuse they can create to call the country a military emergency and then full military law. Ergo: No. More . Elections. They are actively looking for any reason to go full blown dictator.
The little bitch wants to start a war to cancel the elections. Just hope and pray that mothers Nature steps in.
Trump knows two things, blackmail and extortion.
And besides all that, it's really stupid to be attacking cities and states in your own country AND trying to fight a foreign war *at the same time.* Chicago, D.C. (where the generals are), New York, California WILL NOT SUPPORT A FOREIGN WAR EFFORT WHILE YOU"RE ATTACKING THEM!
Why? To deflect attention from all the stuff going haywire up here...growing disaffection of US population, resistance to his federalizing all Nat'l Guards, revelations about more GOP pedophiles and anger about Maxwell's special treatment, desire for the Epstein files, court rulings on tariffs...
and more. Like so many GOP politicians, the would-be peacemaker sees acts of war as generating "unity" in the population...like his air strike on Iran... and since the meeting with Putin didn't garner lots of praise AND a Nobel Peace Prize. Like all political idiots in the world, he thinks,
to the extent he can think, that short victorious wars are easy to cook up and wipe up afterwards. They're not, of course; more than one president, prime minister, king has fallen into that trap. War is expensive ($$$, lives, reputations), nasty, dangerous, destructive, and unpredictable.
I bet he declares war to divert attention way from the Epstein files and further his fascist dictatorship ambitions.
No logic from 47
Distraction. All a distraction
It's not 1980. We don't need oil. We need rare earth minerals used in electronics manufacturing.
Agreed. But Trump is stuck in the 80's.
Yeah, but when has Trump ever cared about what America needs? He cares about what can make profit for him and his associates. As long as oil is still profitable, he wants it. War is almost always primarily about converting public funds to private wealth.
And the recent discoveries in Guyana are huge too. Venezuela has been concocting a border dispute because of it.
"In December 2024, Guyana is projected to be the third largest per capita petroleum producing country in the world." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyana#...
Guyana is also the only country that is fully self-sufficient in food. Meaning they grow all they need and don't import any.
Yep. There was a very interesting interview with their PM Irfaan Ali on The Rest Is Politics - Leading: youtu.be/T5IW9W3px7g?...
It's thought that both countries have undiscovered fields yet to be tapped. Little wonder the US wants to control it.
Ooooooh, that's what the border dispute was about (I thought Venezuela just wanted to have the location of the Jonestown Massacre inside their own territory)
It's always about oil with the USA. 🙄
Indubitably! But we (clever) people can keep more than one idea in our minds at a time, right? Thank you for your attention to this matter! 😁
There’s a reason Venezuela has the most in reserve, their oil is really thick, full of impurities, and hard to refine. The US would have to invest a trillion dollars in infrastructure to extract and market that oil in addition to a supportive native population. Good luck with that.
Native pop is so sick of Maduro and so desperate to rid themselves of him, that many would welcome Trump as Savior. At first and only for a while. I'm sure it wouldn't take long before they saw that American intervention is self-serving & always makes everything worse.
Enough said! It’s always oil.
😄
Bingo !!!
"LOOKS LIKE VENEZUELA IS IN NEED OF SOME FREEDOM." - SecDef Pete Hegseth, after a few bottles of Beam.

Cowards start the wars. They don’t fight them. Rich man’s war. Poor man’s battle. 🌹
Truth
The prez who claims he ended 7 wars is now planning the invasion of a sovereign country. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
If the US actually invades Venezuela, I'm finding the mf who wrote Call of Duty: Ghosts and throwing him in a pit in the jungle.
That being said, this is the 7th country he's threatened to go to war with this year, so I suspect this isn't going anywhere either.
He didn't build up troops outside Greenland though. 😳
He literally dropped bombs on Iran, and that still went nowhere.
Yep. Plus assassinated one of their Military Leaders in his first term. I think these people have been smart enough to not push back and he's (they) are unwilling to move in a way that they can't make it look like the other guy's fault. Here's hoping Venezuela is similarly unwilling to blink.
We live in the most insane upside down country as of late
He wants to start a war to end a war, and voila! Nobel Peace prize. Sheesh.
One must question why he seems so eager for a war. The truth will likely become clear long after he crosses that bridge. It's time to act—what's the delay?
Epstein
“Those lips, those lips, THOSE LUPS are like a machinegun going up n down”
The problem stems from demand not supply. U til we fix the reasons so many Americans are so desperate for drugs they are willing to risk od’ing on some shit they’ve never heard of, nothing will change. This country will never learn.
What will Trump do to distract from the Trumpedo Files? Don’t attack populists: outflank them. See “Outflanking Populism - a Manifesto to Inspire Trust, Create Hope, and Demand Immediate Positive Change” by George Evans. UK-centric but the message applies everywhere. On Amazon. tinyurl.com/ymmnxdb5
Like Chicago apparently
Really? How big is the Drug Cartels navy?
The POS president embarrassing America is beyond incompetent and plain stupid, he is cruel and vengeful! 😈🤡
Personally I think TACO wants badly to be a war president.
He's trying to distract us all from the quest for the Epstein details of perverts that raped kids. He's in that list, and his diaper is bulging to atom bomb proportions. He'd be better off dead than facing the electric chair, so he should be hoping that death will arrive soon. Save America, Die!
Venezuela or Chicago, and Boston, or . . . What is an egotistical moron like the Turd to do to distract from his name on the Epstein 'Trump raped kids' list?! #TrumpInvasion #TrumpScrewUp #TrumpDiaperTime #SippyCupDonnie #KidRaperTrump
Aside from a distraction from the Epstein files, Venezuela is a primary target for the Technate of America, just like Greenland is in the north. Peter Thiel and Elon (and his daddy and grandfather) are both big into it, so is JD Vance - their "boy" about to come into office. Corporate control!
Pretense to change direction and head to Panama.
Because Epstein Files.
Excellent point.
Cuz now he thinks if there's a war, he can suspend elections
Stupid protects the cartels
He needs a war to declare martial law and deploy more troops and cancel elections. It’s that easy to see
Unpopular presidents deflect with a senseless war
Thinks this nonsense makes him tough when it’s just the opposite. MANY ARE SAYING HE’S THE WEAKEST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME.
Cause he’s a wuss and cause #releasetheepsteinfiles
Good point.
Or perhaps he wants to destroy his competitors. Drug business is big bucks!
