This is an Onion article, right?  They have gone down hill, now totally unbelievable.

I wish it was, but now that we will be actively going after tankers, the temperature has been raised substantially.

    Trump has focused heavily on foreign policy to his own detriment. I wish he would focus more domestically, but what can I do? Let's go way back to January 2025. What was one of the first big push

    Yeah, those people are losers. And if you thought the Epstein files got him into office then I don't know what to tell you.  He's doing such a great job of distracting from it that everyone

That's an outright act of war to blockcade a country. Black and white, that's definitionally an act of war

To be clear.

We have "completely surrounded" a nation that.....occupies the northern flank of a large continent.

They have apparently recently taken some "land" from us.  I admit that my knowledge of geography isn't flawless, but I can't find any map showing any "disputed territory" or "occupied by Venezuela, claimed by US" notations on it.  Perhaps someone has better maps than I've seen.  Maybe drawn with a sharpie?

I'm trying to understand what "oil" they took from us that belonged to us?  Are we talking about the nationalization in...1976?  I mean, fuck, Mexico nationalized its oil in 1938.  Guess we need to set aside some of our armada to handle that shit as well.

And what "assets" of the United States of America has Venezuela taken?  Did they snag some Trumpcoin or something? 

And most importantly, over the past 11 months....what has changed to provoke this?

I mean, we know, of course.  Epstein files and failing/flailing Trump admin has changed.  But this is just fucking amazing.  Just utterly made up fantastical, physically impossible (stole our land!) bullshit used to justify a fucking WAR.  If you support this shit, you are a genuine piece of shit.

Listen, man, my genuine hatred for [hang on a minute...checking notes...] Venezuela [wow, really?] goes back decades. They are our greatest adversary in Central America. [...whispering...] SOUTH America. Every time I hear someone speak in Venezuelan, my blood boils. [Oh. They speak Spanish? Since when? And nobody told me? Well, shit, it's too late now, just go with it.] Yes, they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in hell.

Maybe, we could get a Venezuelan gal to stick said sharpie up her but before drawing said map. The subsequent OF video could revitalize their economy.

We're definitely going to war.  Miller is justifying it after Trump's claims: "American sweat, ingenuity and toil created the oil industry in Venezuela. Its tyrannical expropriation was the largest recorded theft of American wealth and property. These pillaged assets were then used to fund terrorism and flood our streets with killers, mercenaries and drugs."

 

The question is when are we going to invade?  The naval blockade is in place. Trump verbally ordered their air space shut down last week or two weeks ago.

 

National address tonight will likely include some form of a "declaration of war". Too bad congress has long abdicated all responsibility for such things to teh executive branch.

Trump said he is not required to seek Congress’s approval to carry out strikes against ground targets in Venezuela.

Reporter: Will you seek any authorization from Congress to conduct ground attacks against cartels in Venezuela?

Trump: I’m not obligated to inform them, but I wouldn’t mind at all. I just hope they don’t leak the information.

U.S. Air Force personnel have joined forces with their Ecuadorian counterparts at a base in Manta in Ecuador for a temporary anti-narcotics operation.

“This short-term joint effort is carried out as part of our long-term bilateral security strategy, in line with the currently valid agreements in accordance with Ecuadorian law,” the U.S. Embassy stated on X this week.

Turns out we were trying to get multiple bases in Ecuador last month

Quote

Ecuadorian voters recently rejected a referendum to allow permanent foreign military bases, reaffirming the ban on foreign bases like the one the U.S. previously operated in Manta. The vote came after Ecuador’s president sought U.S. military assistance and supported the opening of U.S. military bases in the ports of Manta and Salinas following Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s visit to the Manta military base in November.

At least the Green Berets aren't launching missiles at dudes floating on wreckage in the water.

The move comes as Ecuador faces an unprecedented surge in drug-related violence, with homicide rates rising sharply over the past three years and criminal groups expanding their control over coastal trafficking routes. In an operation earlier this month, U.S. special forces under Southern Command assisted Ecuador’s 4th Army Division in a counter‑narcotics action in Esmeraldas on December 3, seizing 1.4 tons of cocaine with a value of about $98 million.

 

And yeah, it's about regime change in addition to oil. Now we are targeting Maduro's wife and other family members.

And Venezuela is telling the US to stay out of its coastal waters, while US continues to move ships into position.

We ran ops out of Manta for a long time. It was past of the FOL Program South. 

They are not Green Berets, that is their head gear. They are the US Army Special Forces. 

Come on man. Lets keep our shit straight.

I know, I have friends in the Special Forces, and we have a neighbor who is in the National Guard Special Forces unit (although I think technically he is based out of San Antonio, but he works at Mabry).

But a lot of people confuse special operations as a whole with Special Forces (thanks John Wayne and Barry Saddler).

Either way, keep an eye on Soto Cano.

It's not a blockade but an embargo.  Terminology matters even if the idiots in charge don't know the difference.  Chevron still exporting crude to Corpus, for example.  That by itself makes it not a blockade.

Donald Trump has said the US will keep or sell the crude oil contained on tankers it has seized off the coast of Venezuela, as well as the vessels themselves. The US president's comments came as Washington continues to pressure the South American country's leader Nicolás Maduro to stand down.

Speaking to reporters in Florida on Monday, Trump said of the oil "we're going to keep it", adding: "Maybe we will sell it, maybe we will keep it. Maybe we'll use it in the Strategic Reserves. We're keeping the ships also."

Quote

When asked whether the goal of the seizures was to force Maduro from power, Trump responded: "Well, I think it probably would... That's up to him what he wants to do. I think it'd be smart for him to do that. But again, we're gonna find out."

Quote


Speaking on Monday, Trump repeated that the US intends to strike targets on land too. He said: "We'll be starting the same programme on land. If they want to come by land, they're going to end up having a big problem. They're going to get blown to pieces, because we don't want our people poisoned."

Speaking on state television, Maduro responded to Trump by saying: "He would be better off in his own country dealing with economic and social issues and the world would be better off if he focused on his own country's affairs."

 


Sorry Venezuela, those files ain’t going to go away on their own.

The first domino of regime change in Venezuela has been toppled, as the Trump administration has imposed a naval blockade on the main oil export ports.

No oil exports mean Venezuela's income vanishes. That means food imports stop. Food shortages will give way to unrest, which will give way to regime collapse. So, what kind of situation will we be looking at once the final domino falls and Maduro relinquishes power?

It's not going to be pretty. We're talking about a grim humanitarian outlook, a scary security picture, and an ugly transition of power.

 

So far this year, we've bombed

  • Iran (we are about to bomb them again alongside Israel because Bibi needs a diversion)

  • Yemen

  • Syria

  • Iraq

  • Afghanistan

  • Somalia

  • Nigeria

And guess who joined them this holiday season?

Donald Trump says US struck Venezuelan facility 'very hard' on Christmas Eve

Asked about Venezuela during a Friday appearance on the “Cats & Cosby” show on New York’s WABC radio, Trump lauded the U.S. military’s attacks against purported drug-smuggling vessels in the region and added that U.S. forces hit a facility two days earlier.

“We just knocked out — I don’t know if you read or you saw — they have a big plant or big facility where they send the, you know, where the ships come from,” the president told hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby. “Two nights ago, we knocked that out. So we hit them very hard.”

It is unclear where the facility is located, how the attack was carried out, what damage was done or whether there were any casualties.

On Monday, Trump shed some more light on the attack, saying the U.S. personnel hit an “implementation” area.

“We hit all the boats and now we hit the area, it’s the implementation area. That’s where they implement. And that is no longer around,” the president said while at Mar-a-Lago, standing alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

Trump said there was a “major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs,” adding it took place “along the shore.”
