Snip:
Venezuela is set to boost its military deployments in coastal and border states amid heightened tensions with the US. The move comes after Washington dispatched several warships to the Southern Caribbean last month in what it describes as an operation against drug cartels.
Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez announced on Sunday that President Nicolas Maduro had ordered the deployment of “all available” troops and equipment to the states of Zulia, Falcon, Nueva Esparta, Sucre, and Delta Amacuro. He added that Caracas will increase troop deployments from around 10,000 to 25,000, noting that the area constitutes a “drug trafficking route.”
“No one is going to step on this land and do what we’re supposed to do,” Padrino said in a video uploaded to social media.
Last month, Venezuela also mobilized 15,000 troops to its border with Colombia.
Trump is significantly less competent than the ghouls that would replace him.
But he has way more political will than anyone who’d replace him. But him being martyred would really get the hogs zooming…
We’re fucked either ways
Does not affect anything. If they want to invade somewhere they will do it regardless of popular support and it will be handled in a bipartisan way.
Yeah true, the hogs never go away. Whether it’s JD or Gruesome Gavin, the imperial machine never stops churning out star talent.
Sure, but the people around him, especially those in the immediate line of succession, are charisma-less black holes that don’t gave Trump’s cult of personality behind them.
JD Vance might be more competent than Trump, but he’s also an utterly sauceless rube, which I think neuters his chances at holding the MAGA coalition together.
