Venezuela

Usually ends well, doesn’t it?

I’m guessing you’ve a very entry level understanding of war and so on…

this admin doesnt truly care for the american economy of the majority, if inflation and unemployment significantly rises, it also wont care, it also wont take an responsibility if such happens, it just wont

I'm alright Jack, never mind the rest of the world.

Fair play to you for your lack of morality. You're not as edgy as you think you are.

Care to answer my question, would you be ok with the US coming and taking over Ireland?

We are part of an economic union living in cuckooland as regards our security and defence since WW2.

As it stands today Europe is no closer to a unified army or even any real cohesion around military integration.

In Ireland we cling to neutrality while under the security umbrella of the USA and the UK lecturer the world and the Israelis in particular about how they should ensure their security and defence.

Today there is close to 100000 USA armed forces in various bases around Europe, down from circa 300k at end of the cold war. Fcuk knows how many other civilians personnel.

Since WW2 the security around world in particular for shipping has been safeguarded by the USA and the resultant boom in trade and enrichment of huge parts of the globe.

Over reach in Afghanistan, Iraq etc has made foreign adventures very unpopular in the states.

The rise of China/India as a result of this security hasn't come with the expected cohesion with western norms.

The world order has changed and could evolve very rapidly or a new administration could put the handbrake on.

Europe has the wolf at its door since 2014 and in particular since 2022 yet still feet are being dragged with no appetite to face the new reality and actually lead. Europe with it's net zero policy and shutting coal and nuclear plants (while they are being built in china) will never be at the races.

Since reducing but not stopping energy imports from Russia they are now just dependent on other sources with UK and Norway the only ones with any degree of security.

Trump is a cnut, but a cnut who's grabbing resources for USA on which economies still depends and especially war time economies.

This type of talk is just weird, especially from people who aren’t American. Speaking like it’s a football team, it’s unwell.

So this is America in charge ..

Of course, like ANY cou try the Yanks have interfered in, not ONE has benefited,.

nonsense, plenty have benefited from american interference, plenty

Plenty of Americans have made lots of money from american interference, is that what you mean?

i agree that some of it is different to what is being mentioned elsewhere, but its not exactly any better since it is also largely one-sided - it basically claimed that the chavez regime was all rosey and bright, whereas it also had its fair share of brutality and repression. claiming the 2024 election was stolen by the opposition is also just simply spreading misinformation.

and there was some 'dancing in the streets'/ outward celebration in caracas (not as much as seen from expats elsewhere) - but most celebrated in private since there is still widespread fear of what the government would do to those celebrating in public (mainly since the government said they would be jailed)
