Totally unprovoked act of agression? Where can I see this phrase, I didnt find it yet in the mainstream. Well I hope ICJ will issue arrest warrant for Trump any day now.

I think we're used to the USA and its mass media not bothering to declare war, and simply starting war (bonus points for claiming the other side started the war once they counterattack, as is tradition)

The USA has started a direct military conflict with Venezuela, the state.

let's wait a minute: did trump provide images of this attack? did the venezuelan government confirmed it happened?

so far it's just trump boasting as usual.

Some would say that when the USA is bombing the country, sinking its boats, killing its fishermen and stealing its oil tankers, war is already here.

The class war is always ongoing, even if you ignore it.

Trump creating allies across the planet, much the same way that Hitler also created allied forces.
It took too far too long last time and that cost so many lives and economies. Europe is slowly stirring. South America could (should) see the imminent threats.

Bush rolls tanks into Fallujah, bombs all public infrastructure, hundreds dead: is war imminent?

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago

Trump is friends with the Saudis, and they bring in billions in oil money every day. He wants what they have, and the biggest oil reserves on the planet are under Venezuela.

He wants that oil, so he can compete with the Saudi Royal family. We are definitely going to war, and when we do, he will demand a draft. That will take control of the most dangerous demographic segment - military age men - who are in a very vulnerable position to be influenced by propaganda. Those that take to the propaganda are useful, and those who don't, feed the war machine.

Is the bomb poor counties countries button close to the pizza one in the white house?

It's war the same way me beating up a toddler is a fight.

At this point South America needs to unify & form a latin federation. But first get rid of millei, then create nukes fast. Iran needs one too, but their fatwa gets in the way.

The global south has a kindness issue.

Yes but without boots on the ground

Well, we don't have US Army infantry... but remember that former Green Beret captured in Venezuela in 2020 trying to perform a coup, who then said he was working for the CIA?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gideon_(2020)

A clownish operation like that certainly seems like the CIA's modus operandi. They like their reputation as a very powerful and secretive operation, but also look at how many times they tried and failed to kill Castro, when a simple car bomb would have sufficed.

I meant was army infantry.

Same as it ever was.

If the headline is trying to ask if Venezuela is going to be America's next Vietnam or Iraq or even Afganistan, the answer is "no."
