          It’s being talked about in places like this where a tiny fraction of the people are aware of what’s going on but not between normal everyday people. I can tell you with no uncertainty that only two or three people in my entire workplace of a few hundred people are even remotely plugged in. Hell even the union reps are asleep at the wheel. They’re too busy trying to take care of their kids or pay their rent.

            Thank you, it’s not like a third of the country voted for all this shit and another third apathetically didn’t care what the fuck happened.

            Curious how you know exactly what hundreds of people do or don’t know. Did you go and ask each one?

              Yes. I actively engage the people I work with to figure out who is and isn’t safe to talk to about this sort of thing and to try to get more of them involved in the community.

        Trump is just trying to find the right war…you know not hard … not to fast… like a dumb ass version of Goldie locks.

      Exactly, trump only cares about himself, so either this move will generate him money directly or it is to make media stop talking about Epstein.

    Just a reminder the Trump tried to organize a coup against Venezuela the last time he was in office (John Bolton, the national security advisor, said so in an interview)

    It was a soft coup in the guise of that guy: Juan Guido.

    He popped out of nowhere, months (maybe even a year) after Venezuela’s elections, with the US supporting him as the legitimate winner. And because the US does it, so do all the puppet European states.

    It was really confusing episode to me at the time. Only when Bolton’s interview came out did it make sense to me.

      Maduro was impeached and refused to step down. They didn’t need a coup, just to support the constitutional government.

    There’s also oil in Guyana that America wants and Venezuela wants from Guyana, so Venezuela is bringing up an old claim to the Essiquibo region of Guyana to have access to the coast for oil. It’s always about oil. America already owned the politicians in Guyana and it’s a little harder to control Venezuela.

    The lesson we learned from the korean war and the vietnam war was that sticking our nose too far into other peoples business is always a great decision. Civilian casualties and traumatized youth give the military industrial conplex a chubby, and the federal government loves its war buddy.

    TBH I think he’s just sending ships all over the world so nobody forgets that they’re his, like big toys. I wonder what it costs to run all of these fleets like this?
