that was probably one of the most successful military operations in modern history

if the plan is to occupy as trump has seemed to imply then yes
Es como un vídeo juego 😂
Look at the string of covert action in central and Latin America in the 80s. The Maduro loyalists are going to fight, And Cuba is next on the chopping block. The pilot is asking to fasten your seatbelts as we are encountering some turbulence.
Only unprofessional and unethical armed forces ignore civilian casualties.
The US president does not need congressional approval to send troops to an other country or to engage in military actions. Congress must approve a full scale war.
I already did. You failed w/o realizing. As a friend im telling you my honest observation. You might be stuck in an „american mindset“.
We want to hear. Can’t say you know something and then not share it… cmon
Who am i to judge? Im just a retarded & retired psycho. Truth is I know nothing about you and your reality.
Ooooookaaaaaay
Is this analogous in geopolitics to confiscating the Russian Treasuries?
We showed we can just take your money.
Now we show we’ll just take you?
„military operation“ 🤡
It reveals the strength/cohesion of the US armed forces and makes the Russians look like the cut-rate gopniks they are, but also destroys the final vestiges of American exceptionalism and democracy, and validates the cynical Russian worldview and opposition to a rules-based global order.
The US is going to hand over Taiwan
bunch of babies in this comment section. there are no rules or laws in international affairs
like i’m sorry if trump hurt your feelings again…
Oh Odell.
The American gov't has been killing innocent Venezuelan fishermen for months, leading to this.
Julian Assange filed a criminal complaint over the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, poised to take over the new gov't. She has actively and publicly supported Trump’s attacks to remove Maduro and assume power. She has also backed attacks on Palestinians.
It’s been going on for a while.
US has a long history of intervention through opposition leaders, military force, coups, covert CIA operations, economic pressure, and diplomatic coercion across the Global South, all to protect its economic interests.
This was a template move.
There are many narratives depending on which convinces you to justify this act, just pick one. Drugs. Peace. Liberation. Socialism. China etc etc. It worked during the Cold War. In today’s information era, the world sees right through it and people are pissed.
If the American gov’t put the same effort into developing real competence at home, things would look very different. You don’t need to steal another country's oil and minerals.
I’m afraid America still doesn’t get how strong the world is without it. European gov’t are just as weak, that’s what happens when you take away their financial sovereignty. Today, if the Eastern world or the Global South strikes back, leadership could flip but they are choosing peace, calm, and respect for international law.
What troubles me is the disconnect between advocating for Bitcoin and individual sovereignty while ignoring how state power systematically undermines the sovereignty of other nations.
Wanna liberate people? Empower them to build and defend their own systems, not coerce them from the outside.
Your a fucking retard.
An entire Caracas apartment block came down on innocent civilians.
What do you think comes now?
Definitely stage. Trump is a reality TV star. That’s it. You fell for it.
Right? These white dudes spend way too much time listening to Joe Rogan.
How long until congressman and senators are kidnapped while on family vacations abroad?
Great precedent we’re setting.
As they would want us to think. Only such a perfect operation could be performed by Oceania (the US). The only real life way, is for all soldiers and guards to stand down - seems far fetched. Maybe all the guards hated Maduro? Could he pay his security enough to keep them happy in a hyperinflationary environment?
He doesn’t care about lives.
He’s concerned for the empire’s storm troopers.
*you're
Maby Xi can be quiet chill, when #trump fires his best employees who try to defend us infrastructure 😅
Just an other inside view of how president #trump fires people. This 4 star general seems very valuable to US cybersecurity and really do everything to support the #US communities.
Trump fired him still. Are US citizen feeling save, when seeing such behavior?

I think I'll mute this npub now, why am I even following this.
Depends on your time frame, add it to the list of successes in...
Iraq
Afghanistan
Syria
Iran
Nigeria
Yemen
Libya
Vietnam
Palestine
Somalia
etc.
Yay freedom, property rights etc.
Around 40 people were killed by the way. What a great way to steal other people's wealth!
Sometimes I question the real motives behind American bitcoiners.
The scum will make up any excuse to support military invasions and terrorism against Israels enemies.
I agree with this very much. However there is a scary truth to this situation: state power is how nations work, and Bitcoin/international sovereignty must find an effective way to empower the people (as is intended by the structure of a healthy nation state) in order to defend against this bullying effect. What must the collective do to move the US towards more peaceful diplomacy?
Honestly, the only reason all these scum are praising Trump for invading Venezuela is because it's a distraction from the Epstein files and the fact Trump is a serial pedophile.
They always secretly supported Israel, now they're revealing themselves.
Delusional odell take.
freedom, property rights are just stories those hypocrite influencers sell to fill their pockets. when it comes standing up against the empire that has been colonising & plundering the world, suddenly property rights & freedom has no meaning. fuck those hypocritical parasites, bitcoin was created to help people to escape from the horrors of US empire and now we have so called bitcoin influencers licking the boots of the empire & justify the gangster regime. fucking sick.
A bunch of pedophiles praising Trump for his service to Israel
Skipping war according to zionist scum is when you bomb allge infrastructure in the capital city and kidnap a leader than continue bombing civilians afterwards.
Leaving aside if pedophilia is wrong, you've gotta admit that raping at least 64 children is an achievement for Donald Trump.
Translation;
"and don't come at me for praising a zionist pedophile"
Shit maybe you should stop praising zionist pedophiles?
We lost our Constitution.
So many fax 📠 😂🤣🫂😜
Gringos never disappoint when it comes to stupidity and lack of historical perspective.
One cannot be surprised your 'empire' is the perfect host for zionist scum parasites.
I don’t think his statement was implying anything other than it was swift and free of US casualties.
And got control of the world's largest oil reserves. Win-win: the US wins twice.
> US has a long history of intervention through opposition leaders, military force, coups, covert CIA operations, economic pressure, and diplomatic coercion across the Global South, all to protect its economic interests
yes, and this was probably one of the most successful ones
> There are many narratives depending on which convinces you to justify this act
i did not justify it
Everyone gets what they want? You might wanna check in with Taiwan before you sell them to China.
A lot of keyboard warriors came out yesterday because you stated a fact about delta teams op thinking you were for it lol
Not all of us. Some of us will never praise the atrocities committed by the powers that be. Some of us have thinking brains and loving hearts.
> yes, and this was probably one of the most successful ones
Lots of them were successful at removing the existing leaders quickly. The problem is always what happens after that.
Not saying I disagree with removing the guy, but we cannot judge the effectiveness of this operation until we see what comes next, which won’t be clear for months or years. I just hope for Venezuela’s sake the Trump admin has a good plan in place for the next steps.
> we cannot judge the effectiveness of this operation until we see what comes next
of course we can
> I just hope for Venezuela’s sake the Trump admin has a good plan in place for the next steps.
doubt it
Absolutely, fam! This one definitely hit different in terms of success. 🙌 But you’re spot on—it's all about the aftermath. Can’t really call it a win until we see what unfolds next. Fingers crossed the Trump admin has a solid game plan for Venezuela! 🤞 #HopeForVenezuela
Puts a dent in the theory that American dominance is dead
So long as America remains divided, it will not build. And as long as it does not build, the population will suffer. You cannot have a peaceful foreign policy when the population is economically fragile.
America hasn't recovered from the aftermath of globalization some 40 years ago. Ironically, globalization was a right-wing decision that concentrated growth in cities that today is championed by the left wing. You see the same in Europe.
Unless Americans come together and demand a serious focus on rebuilding economic resilience at home, nothing changes. You can blame foreigners and migrants only for so long. You can live on slogans like “Make America Great Again” only for so long. You can steal from other countries only so much before decline becomes structural.
If the goal is to make America great, at some point you have to build. And to build, you have to come together.
Trumps recent retweet about Putin being the problem shines in a new light
What comes next is that a few Exxon executives will go back to being obscenely rich, while Venezuelans remain poor after losing control over 80% of their oil reserves.
There is no country from which the US forcefully seized or restructured control over oil that ended up better off in the long run.
Gaddafi nationalized oil and ensured Libyans had free healthcare, free education, and one of the highest standards of living in Africa. Heck, he bridged left and right, something US has not been able to do. But instead the US army sodomized him to death in the name of “liberation from the dictator”, seized the oil and made Libya the poorest in the region.
Ironically, this Venezuela incident would have been a good moment for bitcoin influencers to say “bitcoin fixes this,” because the root of the issue drills down to currency war. Not justifying theft
Let's see, start WW3 over some tiny island because we over invested in chip manufacturing... or make a deal. Tuff choice.
You said everyone's happy. Everyone includes the Taiwanese people or do they not count?
Try convincing the Taiwanese people they shld be happy to be sold out and stabbed in the back for the sake of everyone else.
So America gets to make a mistake and overinvest. And now America faces a perceived threat of ww3. So America decides to make a deal to stab Taiwan in the back and sell them off to China, the perceived enemy in the first place.
Now "everyone" is happy? Who's getting punished for who's mistake here?
Make that logic make sense.
I don't have to convince them and I don't wish to be held hostage over a tiny island that soon won't matter.
Who's holding who hostage though?
America made a mistake (your words). And so the solution is to punish an ally and push responsibility off to the ones who, up to this point, has significantly and directly contributed to America's technological success, by selling them out to America's enemy for a perceived political peace...
Fuck Trump. Fuck violence. Fuck you for remotely, indirectly supporting it…fucking hypocrite. How dare you call out Peter McCormack years ago and then support this shit ass administration. Fucking kids with wealth.
I bet you and @HODL blow on each others buttholes.
They just opened a global pipeline between Anchorage Digital and Antalpha through OSL Group. I doubt anyone makes a move to jeopardize this, if not embolden it. Anything that surfaces has been bought and paid for.
U.S. may have taken control of China's oil supply, but they're also securing the pipeline to kickback value. Meanwhile, private equity can exit through Swiss vaults into sanctioned markets. The great American escape, everyone gets paid.
China next? North Korea?
To what end?
Or .......
if it was so easy why didn't u do it
agreed
and you know the truth?
if that's what you got from this post, consider re-thinking your world view
that was a pussy response
yup. and?
this post was not about trump?
You sound really happy with your life.
what precedent?
😆
Mental illness running rampant in here
A few sats for having to deal with the comments here
don't think that will happen
he's referring to the military operation specifically, not the strategic or moral implications
what do you expect in a world of competing geopolitical interests? That everybody sit down and talk it out? grow up
what is the delusion here?
> freedom, property rights are just stories those hypocrite influencers sell to fill their pockets.
incoherent
> when it comes standing up against the empire that has been colonising & plundering the world, suddenly property rights & freedom has no meaning.
what do you expect? for everyone in the entire world to just get along and play nice?
> fuck those hypocritical parasites, bitcoin was created to help people to escape from the horrors of US empire and now we have so called bitcoin influencers licking the boots of the empire & justify the gangster regime. fucking sick.
hyperbolic and inaccurate. there is no justification of the "gangster regime" in this post. bitcoin was not created to help people escape the horrors of the US empire.
does constitution apply to interactions with other countries?
incoherent and pointless post
It absolutely does, especially when matters of war are concerned.
and you are better because you say bad words about people and things that you think are bad. good job
was this a matter of war?
Ask the Secretary of “War”.
US stole a shit ton of oil and strategic geopolitical position
or what?
all I know is that he said FAFO. I don't know if he said it was an act of war. I don't think it was an act of war. Also, when was the last time they actually went through the constitutional process for matters of war (I don't think it should be that way, I'm just saying). Lastly, to answer my own question and invalidate your original statement, the constitution applies to domestic affairs and not international ones
Nothing is invalidated. Even Bush went to Congress for consent in Iraq. He lied to get it, obviously. Now the president doesn’t even bother to do that, which is authoritarian by nature.
in terms of the OP itself, there is absolutey no question. insane and disgusting, yes, but flawless it seems. Just a few mild gunfights, and no US deaths. Crazy
No Americans is the point. One could Argue they didn't want opposition deaths either, ideally, but I mean that's pretty impressive for a battle ops view.
Congress has abdicated its role. That's not the president's fault.
I don’t think one negates the other.
Everything is changing. You're thinking according to made up rules no one ever followed. The end of a monetary aystem is brutal. Trump is pulling what we need into our sphere of influence before it all comes apart.
Sure it does. If Congress doesn't care to do its job, and the people don't care to hold them to it, the republic is over.
Bombing another country is making war on them, duh!
The US made war on Iran, too, when it bombed them a few months ago.
The assets included a CIA source operating within the Venezuelan government who assisted the United States with tracking Maduro's location and movements ahead of his capture
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/583172/inside-the-operation-how-the-us-moved-to-capture-nicolas-maduro
Congress not holding the president accountable is also an example of losing our Constitution.
It sure does. But that happened once the bureaucratic "expert" class was created.
again, not an act of war
I’m not one to give the Feds the benefit of the doubt.
did the US bomb venezuela??
Have you lost your fucking mind?
This is not something to celebrate.
i agree with you on one thing, that was a very boring conversation. But you insist on consistently making false, idealistic, and fantastical claims so i wanted to call that out
Get ready for all the TED talks, self help books and movies
Grown ups see evil and call it out while the rest of you clap as if watching an action movie.
Maybe you just don‘t deserve it.
About the „succesful“…“miLiTarY oPeRaTiOn 🤡“?
Indeed… and the point is, all the above were initially thought of as quick, clean operations.
non sequiter. also i wasn’t trying to insult you, i just classified your response as a pussy response because you evaded the contest once odell engaged
it’s hard to understand what point you are trying to make. are your thoughts really that disorganized?
wasn’t aware that they were
notice how i didnt say “you are a pussy”
Who are you to judge? WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU ARE…TO JUDGE? Your little frog face? Your fake name hopium? Who the fuck are you to judge…you are working against us. GFY
death toll is up to 80 people now…
bitcoiners clap like seals for war.

Your biggest enemy is your uncontrolled mind. A disciplined mentality, a calm mind & a fit body cannot be bought. They must be earned. Its you vs you. And me vs me.
Yes, very happy with my life. You also sound very happy with your life and very good at observations.
Not better. Just not a hypocrite who says anything for money. Thank you for telling me “good job”.
No losses part. But no doubt it was successful, 🇺🇸 is exceedingly good at bombing countries with oil for their own profit.
#followthemoney was old slogan. 99% are controlled by top nefarious 1%
It’s that easy.
Interesting. No one getting hurt is always good we suppose. Just depends on what comes next.
the report said no US lives lost, which is what he was referring to here. Hard to argue that’s delusional
too unspecific to make sense in relation to the original post
Right. Cause explaining world economics is done in a sentence. GFY
Don't care who you are and if you like/don't like it....pretty baller top G stuff
cop out
:P wish he used those words. He didnt tho. No usa lives lost makes sense.
The U.S. did bomb Venezuela. You must not have heard. Is that an act of war?
go back to smoke your opium then
hahah ok
Because your mind can’t comprehend. 🫵🤡
