Backstory to Trump seizing Venezuela's Oil and Tankers

@Metal-Brain said
You have nothing but pouting about imaginary enemies. Venezuela is no threat to anyone. You just hate socialists and you don't even have a rational reason why. You just heard socialism is bad and you went with it.

At least Venezuela has universal healthcare. You know, the same thing Israel has. So I guess Israel is an evil socialist state. Right?

Why have around 20 million Venezuelans fled since Chavez came into power.

No, Trump is a multiple felon. He uses force and fraud and breaks the law constantly.

Im asking you about Venezuela. Do you know what is going on in Venezuela?

Clearly you dont. You are trying to move the topic to Trump.

I'm responding DIRECTLY to the title of this thread which you chose. I'm not changing anything. Trump is a convicted felon and now he's using government force illegally as a murdering pirate lord.

Yes I know what's going on in Venezuela but this thread is about Trump's Navy seizing ships on the high seas.

You really are just another lost Trump hater and you cannot get that out of your head even to answer a relevant question.

The topic, if you read the opening post is about the reasons why Venezuela is in such a mess and why Trump is justified in going in there.

You did not read the opening post.

I have no interest in Trump and his record as a felon.

Then don't start threads about Trump and talking about criminals.

people like you with the mentality of a criminal, like Chavez, Maduro and other international criminals who belive that because these international courts have no power to enforce these judgments, that they can escape justice.

You know nothing about Venezuela, so to compensate for this ignorance you choose to insert irrelevant nonsense about Trump.

I hope Trump removes all the politicians in Venezuela and take over the country. Maybe it can be a state of the US, or an overseas territory. Trump would be a hero for Venezuelans. People like you would cry.

If you knew anything about Nigeria's history (and you have constantly shown yourself to be functionally historically illiterate), you would know that groups that oppose the government or want regional independence or simply war with other groups has been an ongoing problem there since the country's founding. None of that has anything to do with the United States or its s ...[text shortened]... rump-s-nigeria-strikes/ar-AA1T56oj?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=694ed3a6e7d242cca0a1a3ef6f685d36&ei=26

So you know the history and therefore you are a smart guy who believe nobody should go in and stop the killing of Christians. You are a smart c..nt. GFY.

Both you and Justin Amash are morons. Trump is a hero to go into Nigeria and kill a few Muslims. I hope he kills them all out. Disgusting barbarians.

That's only wanted by people like you with the mentality of a criminal, like Trump and other international criminals who belive that because these international courts have no power to enforce these judgments, that they can escape justice.

Yes, killing Muslims is something you will always applaud.

You'd like ALL of them killed. And then have the nerve to call anyone a "criminal" or a "barbarian".

Check a mirror.

Trump isn't considered a God-like figure by anybody but lunatics like yourself and some other pathetic sycophants like Average Joe. And there's a large difference between people in a country disliking their present government and wanting foreign troops to attack it, kill their sons and daughters and occupy it and take its resources. The United States has found that out to its sorrow numerous times and would do so again if your bloodthirsty urges are ever actualized.

Trump is the criminal for you. Trump is a hero for millions who were forced to leave family and assets and go to other countries and suffer to start a new life.

You dont know the truth about Venezuela. We see these people coming into Trinidad daily to beg for a chance to stay here and this is also a poor country so Venezuela is in a bad way because of these politicians.

Trump almost immediately upon taking office revoked TPS status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans and has aggressively moved to deport them. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article299599864.html
His minions said conditions in the country had improved so that TPS status was no longer applicable:

"“Given Venezuela’s substantial role in driving irregular migration and the clear magnet effect created by Temporary Protected Status, maintaining or expanding TPS for Venezuelan nationals directly undermines the Trump Administration’s efforts to secure our southern border and manage migration effectively,” said a DHS Spokesperson. “Weighing public safety, national security, migration factors, immigration policy, economic considerations, and foreign policy, it’s clear that allowing Venezuelan nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is not in America’s best interest.”

After conferring with interagency partners, Secretary Noem determined conditions in Venezuela no longer meet the TPS statutory requirements. The secretary’s decision was based on a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services review of the conditions in Venezuela and in consultation with the Department of State. The secretary has determined the termination of the 2021 Venezuela Temporary Protected Status designation is required because it is contrary to the national interest."

I'm sure those folks agree with you that Trump is a "hero". This administration doesn't gave the tiniest s**t about the people of Venezuela.

I said hero ... fool. Not God Like... Nobody is killing their sons and daughters. The politicians in the present Maduro govt is hated and Venezuelans are all hoping Trump removes them. You sit there in the US enjoying life and condemning the one man trying to help these suffering people. You are the enemy.

I applaud removing [killing if necessary], all corrupt politicians, removing all socialist or communist governments, and all Muslims who believe in killing Christians and unbelievers. The fact that you dont means something is wrong with you.
