The strike comes as Trump has covertly authorized the CIA to conduct lethal operations in Venezuela.
Venezuela opposes Trump and he views them as small and weak so he wants to crush them for not bending. Its also a country one of his hard right fascists lost so gotta get that back by force. Fucken hate everything about what my country has done and continues to do.
This really smells of Russia v. Finland. I can only hope it ends in similar fashion.
Trying to start a war so that he can announce martial law in the US and cancel elections.
And it’s yet another distraction from the Epstein files that PEDOnald is in.
Neither war or martial law can be used to cancel elections in the US
Oh sweet summer child, who is going to stop them? We’re past the point of laws mattering
While I have no doubt they will try, suggesting that’s the goal is irresponsible and demonstrates a lack of understanding. The only purpose it serves is to sow fear and uncertainty.
I suggest you read this NPR interview to learn a bit about how elections are run, and what trump is likely to try.
Here is an excerpt directly relating to this thread:
MOSLEY: So Mother Jones recently published this article by investigative journalist Ari Berman, and it raises this scenario that President Trump will use unrest as a pretext to declare martial law and even suspend the 2026 midterms. From a constitutional and legal perspective, does a president actually have the power to delay or cancel an election?
HASEN: The President has no power to do anything related to elections, much less cancel them, reschedule them. What the president can do is do things that could disrupt the election. So here’s what I’m worried about - not necessarily declaring martial law - what if the president sends the National Guard into Black cities, right? Milwaukee.
…what is a treaty?.. seriously, the U.S. is not abiding any of the legal bindings of international law…
Well if the international community cant stop Isreal from committing genocide I’m not gonna hold my breath for anything from this either.
The international community is the very reason there is a ceasefire currently, whether it holds is up to Netanyahu…
Considering Israels already broken it multiple times and is not fulfilling their obligation to allow aid in I think we both know the reality of the ‘ceasefire’ that just so happened to be the exact same deal from two years ago. So if you’re saying the international community is the reason for a broken ceasefire deal that was two years old when it was signed then I think I can agree with you.
There’s no ceasefire
…we have always been at war with EastAsia…
The war is over, the genocide will continue.
I literally think they are just blowing random boats out of the water just to tell supporters. “See how hard we are on drug trafficking!”
Because they’re fucking stupid enough to buy it
Just want to remind everyone that murdering people abroad is the most normal President thing Trump has done. Doing dirt in South America has a through-line all the way back to
MadisonMonroe.Yeah, but not as openly
Didnt he claim he could shoot someone and get away with it on a main street in New York? So this is just a rehearsal in a small country against people who cant fight back.
I am no fan of trump nor his destruction of our democracy, but Amnesty International has zero credibility with me anymore after it accused Ukraine of violating international humanitarian law in defending itself against the 2022 invasion by Russia.
Are you perhaps referring to this: https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2022/08/ukraine-ukrainian-fighting-tactics-endanger-civilians/
And ignoring this: https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/europe-and-central-asia/eastern-europe-and-central-asia/ukraine/ https://www.amnestyusa.org/countries/ukraine/ https://www.amnesty.org.uk/protect-civilians-ukraine https://amnesty.ca/human-rights-news/ukraine-russia-three-years-since-invasion/ https://www.amnesty.eu/news/ukraine-justice-and-victims-rights-must-be-at-the-forefront-to-end-war/

I am.
And ignoring this:
Ignoring? I wrote off Amnesty International when they made their position and criteria clear to me in the first article. I spent no time going back to see more of the same, but for you here, I’m looking agian:
https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/europe-and-central-asia/eastern-europe-and-central-asia/ukraine/
I see many similar criticisms of Ukraine, so this doesn’t help your argument with me with this one.
This links back to the same content from the first link. So this appears to be a duplicate.
This is criticism of Russia, which does nothing to change their position on Ukraine from the first article.
https://amnesty.ca/human-rights-news/ukraine-russia-three-years-since-invasion/
This is more criticism of Russia, which does nothing to change their position on Ukraine from the first article.
https://www.amnesty.eu/news/ukraine-justice-and-victims-rights-must-be-at-the-forefront-to-end-war/
And finally this is yet more criticism of Russia, which does nothing to change their position on Ukraine from the first article.
If anything the links you posted feel like backpedaling for Amnesty for their original 2022 position which caught them so much backlash and donors fleeing.
Trump is still murdering people, they’re just the ones who had the guts to call it out.
