No, the motivation was oil and giving Trump an ego boost. Makes him feel big to order men to bomb another country and abduct their leader. Little bit of revenge thrown in too, since Maduro was critical of Trump.

My waist is finally smaller than my hips!!!! Only real change was cutting out most of my soda consumption. Hopefully the trend continues.

There is no constitutional method to cancel elections and, for the most part, elections are handled by the individual states. If the red states go along with it, they won't have any house members in 2027

Closer to 1000 years ago, but those original colonies were abandoned and the surviving Europeans intermixed with the indigenous people after surviving for around 500 years. Was re-colonized around 300 years ago. Still, oof, talk about a bad take.

Trump NEEDS Musk to run interference for the midterms and Musk NEEDS Trump so his companies can keep getting handouts from the US Government and to keep the DoJ and FTC off his back.

Yea, I kinda read it as a potential positive for the Iranian people. Maybe I'm in a better mood today than I have been for the past few days.

Wish that would happen here too. I also hope the Iranians can finally shake free of their authoritarian theocracy. The economy in the US isn't quite bad enough yet for people to rise up enough to put an end to the Trump regime, though.

Not watching the video on that. My mental state is already a bit frayed right now, but ICE needs to go. It was caught on camera this time. Kinda wonder how many times it's happened without footage of it happening being released. When Trump finally falls we need to strip qualified immunity...

Well, there's the rub. I have a hard time trusting myself due to lingering issues with self confidence and self worth. Trying to set up some time with a therapist for the first time in over 20 years to see if I can start making some progress on that front now that I know my insurance covers it.

Looks interesting, though I'm not sure if I have the patience or level of focus for long, story driven games anymore.

I'm in the middle of a maelstrom right now...... Coming out to my wife has kind of awoken something in me. It's getting harder and harder to keep the mask up ANYWHERE now. Was going to try and ride out the current administration before I really started transitioning but UGH, I just want to...

Greenland=Denmark so yes

NATO wouldn't dissolve completely. It would just carry on without the US. If anything were to trigger WWIII, the invasion of Greenland would likely be it. The other NATO members and the EU can't just sit back and let it happen at that point and EU nations, if they band together, can make...

Well, that's one way to dissolve NATO....... Guy is a menace and really needs to be stopped before he plunges the world in to WWIII.

You are right. My brain keeps switching the two around despite the fact they are on opposite ends of the continent for some reason....

Yea, as with anything in this administration, this is about Trumps own ego and power, nothing more, nothing less. We likely just plunged Argentina into civil war as Maduro's enablers jockey to replace him and Trump is patting himself on the back.

Even if the UN had teeth, they don't have the power. The US has unilateral veto power on the security council. It's the same reason Putin gets away with so much stuff.

Venezuela is a major trade partner with Russia and China. This act will destabilize things further...... Putin will hate this, I'm sure, but at the same time it will lessen the US's standings in international diplomacy, which he will take advantage of.

GW Bush had a large amount of support from both parties in Congress, this is WORSE. I don't like Maduro, he's an authoritarian and bad for the people of Argentina, but this is NOT the way to remove him from power.

That's it, I'm joining the fake alien military. A good chunk of the world already considers me some sort of abomination anyway....
