I heard you the first time. One of your facts is wrong and unlike you I don’t fancy repeating myself.

@DanDan420 @randahl
Sorry mate. That’s bollocks about Trump not being legitimate. If we don’t face that we aren’t recognising the racism and Russian oil money that got him there.

There is a problem with him being elected but it’s the system around it. Also, most Democrat politicians are part of that system. ‘Racism light’ a great man once called it.

@DanDan420 @randahl
100% except he got elected. US has 3 years until he’s illegitimate. Until then, Trump is a legitimate arsehole. It’s on the US to sort him until then before we have to send in Canada.

Fuck no. Greenland is a democracy. Venezuela is a failed state with people dying from hunger and being shot by the regime.

Can people not tell the difference?

@randahl Absolutely.
The right thing, done the wrong way for the wrong reasons. Especially after the MAGA propaganda about isolationism and not helping Ukraine.

It was against international law. It was against US law. They have no post-plan. They don’t care. Trump probably wants a new friendly dictator. The only undeniable good thing was the current dictator was removed.

It was probably done as Medura was looking at Chinese long range missiles to threaten Texas oil refineries to prevent such an operation as this. A strike while they can.

@clintruin @randahl
I agree this might well go to shit… but someone did ask the Venezuelans and they are happy.

For the record. Trump is a cock.

@rockiger @bufalo1973 @randahl
All slopes are slippery but that is not an excuse to not act.

Also, I haven’t said Trump was right to do it. The question I have to ask everyone is, if that was Putin, would you say the same things?

I also hold that dictator types learn from inaction and by doing this Trump is more likely to take extreme measures elsewhere that are just all bad.

@bufalo1973 @randahl
No. Taiwan has a President. Not someone claiming to be president.

These are very different.

@randahl
He wasn’t President, he lost, he just kept the title. Much like Putin. Venezuela was a mafia state under him.

Trump being a dick is entirely separate, but don’t credit Maduro. If Trump did that to Putin I would applaud.

Why and how Trump did it is a grave concern, but Venezuela isn’t Greenland.
