I find it rather ironic that trump is attacking Venezuela since he was the one who suggested a peace treaty/deal with Russia and Ukraine.

For someone who is so optimistic about preventing war that they were making deals to prevent it, you would think he would do the same with Venezuela.

"Damn, you made it seem like you can talk out any war from happening, but I guess not with Venezuela" ๐Ÿ˜‚

I haven't followed the news about this strike against venezuela, so be mindful of that, I just had to make this point...

you see there is this thing called epstein files, and some of it being released has made him very desperate to distract the news from it.

Saw this elsewhere in broken english and cleaned it up a little:

"The US invasion of Venezuela sets precedent for China's annexation of Taiwan and dampens the illegality of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It's a (likely successful) move on Trump's part to promote authoritarianism globally and apply a thick oily balm to his problems at home. What Epstein files?"
