I have a sad feeling that not only is trump going to declare war on Venezuela, but he’s going to initiate a nation wide draft. Not because it’s needed, but because the vast majority of people that would be eligible for the draft lean left. Locking them up for trying to dodge would be a great way for them to sway the voting results.

I hope I’m wrong.

I’m sure congress will vote on this like the constitution demands, since they are all originalists etc

“This will definitely get me a Peace Prize!”

Quick question: Can anybody recall Trump firmly committing to anything that didn’t turn out to be a lie in very short order?

I’m stumped.

Fascist state can only exist in a state of perpetual war.

Look, Trump didn’t end any war, and he is trying to start one!! Yea!!!
What the USA citizens will do about that? Nothing!
Get your weapons ready!!!

No shit he’s not “ruling out war”, as he’s clearly and unambiguously teeing it up. He’s been itching to flex military power, and he undoubtedly will use the “victory” over a “foe” to try to rally his base, who are racist, blood-thirsty rednecks. It will also provide a nice distraction from the Epstein files. Trump has everything to gain (and the U.S. has a lot to lose) by attacking Venezuela, so we can rest assured that the attack is coming. The only thing that would prevent it is if there were a military coup that ousted Maduro before Trump launched the attack.

Does venezuela has the right to defend itself. NATO and Canada or it’s just israel who has that right?

Why would anyone thing he’s even considering ruling it out? He’s actively expanding military buildup and aggression in the region every single day. The only reason we aren’t already at war is that Maduro hasn’t taken the bait. Trump wants a war so very badly, but wants to be able to say that he didn’t technically start it. 100 people have been murdered by US airstrikes in the area, and now we’re hijacking tankers full of oil. Not peaceful.

Send him first if he’s so keen on it.
