U.S. Has Captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
(www.twz.com)
Kidnapped. The word is kidnapped.
I think you have your hierarchy reversed. Kidnapping is about extortion. The intention is always to give the victim back. Capturing in this case refers to something already worse than kidnapping.
Abducted?
Sex trafficked?
Bro woke up in Mar a lago what do you think happened
Harris didn’t spend enough time taking about her policies though.
So he truely believes he runs the whole world..... If anyone is about to start ww3 anytime soon ..... it's him.
Don't be ridiculous. FIFA doesn't just hand out their prestigious, respected peace prize to anyone.
Ok this cracked me up 😂
Literally, this has been standard US imperialism for the better part of a century.
The US inherited it from the British, there were people already living here. They have been invading sovereign nations in the name of the US since independence.
When exactly do you think the US colonial rebellion happened?
The 1700s. Whereas the last skirmishes of the Indian Wars ended after WWI. Europeans invaded the sovereign nations that were already here and then the US, after independence, continued to expand westward into places where people already lived.

I would argue we’re already in WW3 it’s just not a full on “hot” world war quiet yet, this might do it though
We're in the Anschluss and Munich Agreement stages of WW3.
It won't. Venezuela isn't a member of BRICS or anything. They're a member of OPEC, but that's an economic cartel, not a military alliance. They don't have the necessary allies to come to their aid to turn it into a world war.

If the world doesn't step in, Greenland and Canada are next.
Fuck
Can we just pin this comment? Seems like it's pretty much a perfect summary of the situation.
I think the panama canal will be next. Easier than those two and makes the statement he's serious about it. So they can better take his deal and be grateful
Which is why they're bombing Nigeria? They threaten white settler states like Canada because they know settlers will care more about themselves than people in the global south.
Maybe Greenland but Canada no way. Canada will put up a fierce fight and a LOT of Americans will defect to fight for democracy rather than live under a pedofile king and his circus of Nazis
What. The. Fuck?
"We invaded sovereign soil, going after oil
Taking countries is a hobby paid for by the oil lobby
Same as in Iraq and Afghanistan
And Ahmadinejad say they coming for Iran
They only love the rich and how they loathe the poor
If I say any more they might be at my door."

Manifest Destiny, puppet edition.
Oil. The US needs heavy crude.
Honestly, having oil reserves is a national security issue at this point. Until they find a way to cheaply ruin oil reserves, no country is safe from US.
If you want to default us, peace hasn’t worked but starvation sure as hell will.
only thing this does is introduces the precedent for other countries to do the same to him.
Don’t threaten us with a good time.
Thumbs crossed for Nambia to do the funniest thing of all time
Would be absolutely amazing for some 3rd world country, to just casually imprison Trump, stating "We'll control USA for now". If no one intervenes in this, then no one should intervene in that.
But you k ow the spin machine won’t have to work that hard in this. Too many Americans have a “it’s okay when WE do it” mindset.
This is insane..
Shameful of Trump.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
