The kidnapping of Maduro is just a chapter in the Epstein Files story. Let's not forget what this whole distraction campaign is really about.

edit: The criticisms in my replies make good points. I don't mean to minimize what Venezuelans area going through right now. Or to pretend like full Epstein Files disclosure would be some sort of panacea. I'm sorry that I failed to make that clear. I meant to nod toward the fact that war is like a free polling boost for US presidents, and the Epstein Files are the most unpopular issue that Trump has ever handled. So keeping the domestic narrative on the files in social media is I think, at this moment, an effective thing to be doing if you're sitting on US social media. Nerf the war popularity.

wtf, not trying to downplay you idiots electing a pedophile, but i think calling the invasion of another country "another chapter in epstein" is some of the dumbest shit ive ever read.

the world revolves around america

It all seems like they're taking talking points out of a propaganda mill like bots.

No original thoughts and critical thinking at all.

Yes and no:

Yes, distracting from the fact that the Mango Mussolini is a prolific child rapist is part of the reason for this egregious war crime.

NO, that doesn't mean that the Epstein distraction element is the most important thing here.

In this case, the distraction is WORSE than the thing it's meant to distract from, at least in terms of geopolitics, the concept of international law, sovereignty, and accountability of nations.

Yes but also the capital city of a sovereign country was bombed and the leader of the country abducted by the USA. I highly doubt Venezuelans are currently thinking about how "oh Trump is just causing distractions again"

Edit: fuck, I'm just waiting for you guys to bomb and invade my own country just to see you all comment "Epstein distraction".
