The Official Politics Thread (enter at your own risk)

[Come On You Irons]

There. Resident WHO political commentators and gurus can knock yourselves out in here and conduct your endless bickering. All other threads will be locked.

A bad decision is far better than no decision.

When a bad decision is made then it needs effort to correct it. With no decision it's simply more of the same shit.

Trump's escapades into Venezuela may be good decisions, they may be bad decisions but just because it's Trump making those decisions doesn't automatically make them bad.

There may be indignation and a few ruffled feathers over this, but the dust needs to be allowed to settle in order for everybody to have the chance to see a clearer picture (if they want).

Is that the same way you feel about the mud hut in the poverty stricken village near the Cambodian border now a few bombs and missiles flying around? 

Why would it not be?

The left every time an evil dictator is removed: Ooh! My knickers are wet. It's all about the oil, you know...

 

I'm not a leftie and agree the loony left do wet their knickers and are proper two faced,but come on this is about oil
MADuro was definitely smuggling drugs into US,but only about 10% of total entering the US,so why doesn't he go after Mexico and Colombia where most of it comes from?

Trump pardoned the president of Honduras, one year into a 45 year sentence for drugs, so it's certainly not about that 

 

 

That's a good point l forgot about that

I'm pleased that scumbag MADuro has been removed,but wish Trump would just for once be honest 
This isn't about regime change or democracy its about oil and sending a message to Iran

yes its partly about oil. Its about stopping regimes like Iran, Russia, Cuba, China getting their hands on discounted oil. The US companies will rebuild the infrastructure that will take decades and will restore Venenzuela as a prosperous country and a global supplier of oil.

That FIFA Peace prize looking good 

Venezuela invaded & President seized
Greenland threatened with seizure
Canada threatened with being made a US state
Nigeria bombed 
Iran threatened 
Russia v Ukraine still ongoing 
Israel v Gaza still ongoing

Can anyone tell me what the fuck the possession of machine guns charges, against Maduro, are all about? I'd have thought it would be practically compulsorary for any world leader to be able to get their hands on those and aren't the gun laws in the USA so lax that practically anyone can own them, anyway?

Nope. The sale of new machine guns to civilians (or any weapon that can fire like a machine gun) has been banned since the mid 80's in the USA. Second hand ones, can be bought from an existing owner ( a transferable weapon), but this is heavily regulated by the ATF. Probably the only reason machine guns aren't used in high school shootings.

Semi automatic pistols and assault rifles cause enough carnage and are readily available.

That General Raizin Caine is one seriously impressive cսnt. He would make a good President one day with his track record, across the detail and handles himself very well. He doesn't fuck about on a mission either.

[THUNDERCLINT]

The US has bombed Venezuela and capture and charged it's President, President Maduro, and his wife in New York with drugs and weapon offences.

WTF. I feel very uneasy about this. Whatever happened to respecting the sovereignty of sovereign states?

Please, please, please Starmer next.

[THUNDERCLINT]

Ha ha. Yep, calling out ‘wog’’ means I condone his actions. You know using racist language isn’t just about that person, right? Would you call him a wog in front of someone black or brown in real life? Just wondering…..

 

Of course not and I wouldn't say it on here either. Besides, it's completely the wrong ethnic slur to use on an Egyptian which was the only point I was addressing. 

The fact you immediately jumped to the racist card says everything about you.

No way Trump will drop the oil price as he loves to suck Putin's prick and needs the revenue 
l really do hope the evil Islamic scum that rule Iran fall but still a long way off,anyway if they do their oil refineries are in a shit state with lack of investment so they couldn't really flood the market for few years

[Mike Oxsaw]

4. Iran

If the administration in Iran falls that will be an absolute game-changer for the whole world, not just  for the Middle East & OPEC.

Nailed on if that happens, Trump will flood the market with oil*, driving down the price and completely fucking up the Russian war machine.



* - Greens the whole world over will go ape-shit and stamp their collective feet. Trump will laugh, give them the finger and drop the oil price further.

[nychammer]

Countries with largest oil reserves:

1. Venezuela
3. Canada
10. Nigeria

 

Yep and we cannot have an illegitimate president and drug lord misusing that vast resource to supply despotic regimes and destabilize the world. Venezuela can (hopefully) use it to rebuild to their full potential. Today was a good day. 

[Iron Duke]

4. Iran

[Nutsin]

With Maduro in US custody and the Venezuelan people free from tyranny (Thanks to the Donald) all we need next is for the good people of Iran to usher in the end of Islamic rule in Iran along with a Ukraine/ Russia peace deal to the dismay of the EU and Starmer.

Once this has been obtained the world will be in a much better place and so will the American people.

Trump really is knocking it out of the ball Park.

 

[One Sunny Day]

Did laugh at the statement put out by the Kremlin about this. They said it was "an unacceptable encroachment on the sovereignty of an independent state."

Seems like a sweet kid. Hopefully she's learnt a lesson there.
