LMAO...please stop. You can't possibly believe that.

This does not set a precedent as there have been other leaders that have been "kidnapped" before. This is more SOP than a precedent.

Lmao That dude just said Trump destabilized the country of Latin America.. lmfao That dude thinks Latin America is a country!

Lmao...right.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Lol...ok....you need everything spelled out for you. Ships, like this one, were moving sanctioned oil (Russian and Iranian) to states like Venezuela. The oil was then shipped out to western countries. It was, effectively, oil laundering. Every vessel that gets taken out of service is oil they cant sell. And this guy is buddy buddy with Putin.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-we-know-oil-tanker-the-skipper-seized-us-near-venezuela/ The Skipper was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2022 for its alleged role in an oil smuggling network that helped fund the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group backed by Iran. The ship — known as Adisa in 2022 — is among the vessels controlled by sanctioned Russian oil magnate Viktor Artemov, the Treasury said in a statement.

Is that why he took control of Russian oil tankers and deprived Russia of the money they were using to kill Ukrainians?

It appears that Venezuelans are pretty happy about this. I doubt a war erupts. A party perhaps. But not a war.

Spam with a website that was removed. @robosmith is really upping his game.

US conducted strike on Venezuela, captured Maduro, Trump says https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/01/03/trump-strike-venezuela-maduro/88004393007/ Now what?

And with the fully disreputable Adam Schiff. That dude is committing mortgage fraud, tried to work with Russians to get the pee tape and said he saw the pee tape. He is the lowest of all the scum in DC and we are supposed to click that? Hell naw. Besides, Trump just commandeered Russian owned oil tankers that Russia, Iran and Venezuela were using to dodge sanctions. That is no gift to Russia. These guys do not live in a little world I like to call reality

Yes, in this case, it does hurt to be prepared. It costs money. We should always be ready for a 3 front war. Adding to that is a waste if there is no imminent threat.

I don't tend to propose solutions to things that are not a problem. I kind of figure the problem has to come first. I know...I am weird like that.

Isn't Mamdani Muslim? Don't Muslims hate Jews? Don't Muslims deny the Holocaust? I would say that it is anything but a stretch to assume Mamdani is using a dog whistle here. He is telling his people that he is ok with violence against Jews. He even said that violence is a fake construct and that all violent offenders should be released from jail. This is who you voted for. Jew hating, violent extremists that deny the Holocaust. He is showing you who he is. Believe him.

This charade has gone on long enough. Rick Steves is no expert on fascism. How do I know? Aside from just being a TV personality and travel writer, he lists no qualifications. And then he says this: If you take each of these points separately, you can see the nonsensical nature of his argument. The first being "goos[ing] the economy". What form of government does not try to have a good economy? If goosing the economy is fascist, doesn't that make every single government on the planet fascist? Of course, having a good economy does NOT make you a fascist government, so his use of the phrase is likely one that he felt bolstered his weak argument. The second, "abolish[ing] unions" is something that was done by Mousilini. However, it was the first step in acquiring and liberating corporations from the owners. Which makes the third "privatiz[ing] what was public" completely fabricated. Fascism takes deep control over business, like all left wing forms of government. Abolishing unions was just another way of suppressing the people. As for the final supposed step or characteristic of fascism "win[ning] support of tycoons" is the same as the first point, an attack on all governments as all governments want the support of the rich. He might as well have said all fascists drink water and breath air. To sum it all up, Rick Steves knows less about fascism than the average leftist.

Seriously. That is embarrassing...for YOU!

That is embarrassing for you.

But does it need grapes?

I mean... ...you ignore intelligent posts. So....what's the point???

Yeah. Why don't you hold your breath on that. I have been hearing WW3 is coming since 1985. My guess is that in 2065 we will still be predicting WW3 is right around the corner.

Oh good. Another WW3, the Nazis are coming thread.

🤣

@robosmith is also ANTIFAW and that is short for anti-fancy-words
