LOL....Are you serious? You actually think he will beat this case? You must be the imperative voice of mental retardation...
you're a clown. as recently as 2003 we got in a war based on complete crap. you forget about iraq already? "where is the WMD?"
and the reason wars go through congress is we have actual evidence and discussion of the reasons why something happened, and get to evaluate whether it's bs or stale before we authorize it.
and you're wanting to go to war on a stale indictment with a bunch of stuff from 2005-2010, where their argument to try and survive limitations will be that a co-conspirator ie SOMEONE ELSE did something in 2022.
and to be clear, the president changes his mind on a daily basis why we are there. is it gangs? drugs? corruption? a conspiracy? oil? he can do that because he's not running this through channels. he didn't ask for a war declaration. and he's probably using this hidden indictment to evade the war powers act.
this is why we have processes.
You’re correct, and I agree with you. Except for that glaring little detail that’s constantly omitted where Obama killed Gaddafi in Libya and created a Civil War, without Congressional approval, and in violation of the “War Powers Act.” It was not an authorized action by Congress in a *retroactive* vote.
Nevermind all of the drugs and cartel activity, illegal immigration, humanitarian dysfunction and exodus out of Venezuela in the wake of a hardly legitimate election, or the fact that Venezuela owed the US a lot of money that Maduro never intended to pay, despite the massive American investment in oil infrastructure there. Nevermind all that. This is all about the petrodollar, US-Saudi hegemony, and not allowing the Russia, Iran, China axis to get any stronger. And it spans both parties. Democrats and Republicans are the same. You think you are on the “good” side, lol?
The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.
And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.
Imagine if another country's military entered the United States, kidnapped our President, and left us without our elected leader. Generations of Americans would view the entire country as terrorists. And that's how many parts of the world will view the U.S. this morning.
Brazil: President Lula says US actions "cross an unacceptable line" and are "a most serious affront to Venezuela's sovereignty". He calls on the international community to "respond vigorously"
What are they going to do - invade the United States?
This was necessary!!! All of you libs will be singing a different tune when we have $1.50 gas in Texas next summer. This will change the dynamics of the Iranian economy and force out the Ayatollahs and it will lead to regime change in Cuba. This is win win win.

Heck yeah - this is what a clear majority of the actual US citizens voted for. Venezuela is celebrating independence the streets!
Facts. If weak sauce "president" biden did this these people here/media would be cheering it. He was too busy at the beach eating ice cream. Make Venezuela great again citizens of Venezuela. Capitalism works; socialism doesn't. It will never work. Party tonight, maybe throughout the weekend. Then get to work. Don't come here, our border is secure and catch and release (worst policy ever) is Over.
It's never as simple as a military action makes it seem. We get Maduro but we also get the potential quagmire. Trump gets crazy rich from plundering their oil. Maduro will kick himself for failing to bribe Trump in the first place.
also, if the legal argument is the indictment survives limitations because there was a conspiracy, it's nonetheless sketchy AF to say, we're taking you out based on you conspired with someone else and he did something 3 years ago on drug deals.

first, the price of oil is not a justifiable reason for a war -- particularly when your own embargo causes the price.
second, i do think your finger is near the button with the real reasons. i think trump knows if he does nothing the GOP goes down in flames at election time. his tariffs aren't working and seem counterproductive. so this is a play for cheap oil by later this year.
that and try to get people rallying around the flag despite there was no reason to invade in the first place.
