They've completely abandoned the "WMD Fent" narrative and moved on to 'they stole their own oil'.

What’s going on?
Trump announced he was doing a full embargo of Venezuelan oil exports, with the stated reason being they stole their oil and land from the US.
Then he scheduled a press conference for 9PM today, which many expected to be a declaration of war/invasion, but ended up being Trump sundowning and complaining about Biden for an hour.
It was tremendously pathetic and painful to watch, yes.
therapy :)
Biden didn't even do anything bad he was just indifferent
They all do bad things. Trump is just making them look good in comparison
Gaining power just to do nothing with it and maintain an unjust status quo is doing a bad thing, though unfortunately he did more than just that.
There's a LOT of buzz pointing towards Trump announcing full on war with Venezuela soon. I don't have sauce on hand but when I do I'll getcha
Right on time to divert from the Epstein files release lol
Probably more about calling martial law to not have another election
Both are in the goals list for this idiot regime anyways, I fear
does anyone know what OP means? I know OP means over-powered in most rpg games, but I have no idea what it means on Lemmy.world. I haven't seen many other OPs in Lemmy.world. I suppose its something to do with being new to Lemmy.world...
OP refers to the person who posted either the post as a whole, or in some cases the top-level comment in a comment chain, depending on context. If you're looking at the tag next to usernames, it's the former. (Original Poster)
oh ok
It's ridiculous how closely it matches the script from that old movie Wag the Dog (1997).
Do you mean the Iraq War (2003)?
Oil.
