I voted for Trump because he's the ONLY Person who could Keep the US OUT of War! And I'll vote for him a THIRD Term because he's the ONLY Person who could End the War that HE Started!
Shitty oil that's very expensive to process (and can realistically only be processed in the US). Venezuelan oil only makes sense when the price of oil is guaranteed to be high.
How do you keep the price of oil high? Decrease gas mileage standards for cars and trucks. Start stupid wars. Un-subsidize electric cars. Make it more profitable to produce gas guzzling trucks than sedans.
This Venezuela thing is just another step in the oil billionaire TODO list.
The US needs heavy crude. It must come from either Canada or Venezuela. Canada told him to pound sand with his 51st state rhetoric, so that leaves Venezuela taken by force.
Wasn’t China trying to develop a more efficient way to process that type of oil? Makes sense why they went for the Panama Canal and now that that didn’t work they’re openly doing piracy
It has apparently been confirmed by congresspeople who were in briefings on it yesterday and have been otherwise told, the plan is to declare war tonight.
I mean a truth social posts talks about wanting to get land back from venezuela that they stole from us so im not sure I can think of anything crazier but im sure he will come through in his usual terrifying stupidity.
It'll start out with some heinous shit they're going to do, but devolve into long rambling about how awesome Trump is, plus random moaning about his 'enemies'.
Well, I just watched it. It was basically Trump jerking off to his fantasies and lies of him being a stable and effective leader and blaming all the bad things ever -even if not true - on Biden.
It was basically a nothing burger with no new announcements of anything.
My guess this was him saying nuh-uh to his appropriately low approval ratings and how most Americans blame him for high prices.
It is my understanding Epstein files are coming out Friday so this could also be one of the administrations plan to let Trump go full scale Trump and gish gallop lies after lies to have people talking about that instead of how he rapes small children.
Who knows. His brain is clearly fried and he doesn't understand what is going on in the world, the US, and probably his own diapers.
Before Biden it was horrible Obama. Then Clinton. During the second election after Biden dropped out he turned all that bullshit towards Harris and pretended like she was president.
Trump and his ilk need an enemy. Trump knows things were better under Biden so he repeats how horrible Biden was to convince him and others he was bad. For his mouth breathers, it works. They'll all say how horrible Biden is but if you question them on why, they have no fucking idea.
It could also be a purge of "antifa terrorists" (read: murdering all his political enemies, plus pogroms against trans people, Muslims, etc.). It's only a matter of time, at this point.

Look he already ended ... seven? eight? wars, so now he gets to start a new one, as a treat.

He's like me when I stuck to my diet for a whole week so I deserve these 24 buffalo wings.

My bet's on airstrikes on Venezuela -- they already announced a full sea blockade ...
T00l_shed@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 246d
That announcement will come seconds before the first strike for sure
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 246d
You misspelled "after"
T00l_shed@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 246d
I was on the fence about that lol. I figured it would be something like:
T: were doing a special military operation in Venezuela. (Bombs drop after the word Venezuela is said)

He's annexing the moon or declaring cheese illegal or announcing the Purge. Any old insanity is possible.
cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 246d
Sadly any of these are a distinct possibility at this point. And yet, it could be even worse.
grue@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 246d
If by "purge" you mean "night of the long knives" rather than "movie with a stupid premise," that's very possible.

He's going to announce war with Venezuela. Because of fentanyl... Which doesn't come from Venezuela.

Unlikely that they'll actually declare war. More like 'special military operations'.

Trump Fidget Spinners, for only $5,000. Per month.

Inflation is over. World peace achieved. All Americans rich.
But somehow evil Democrats are trying to murder angelic Republicans.

He'll demand the USPS replace their entire fleet of delivery vans with Teslas, and then he'll ban rainbows.
4am@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 246d
He will announce that ford will be making gas engines for cyber trucks and all mail will be delivered that way.
Rainbows are banned and any states that experience one after a rain storm will have the national guard deployed to fight the sky woke
Venezuela stole our land and we need to take it back. It’s called South America, it’s so obvious, and Biden was too weak to do anything about it

I'm guessing either a new batch of "nation building" tariffs or the announcement of more countries being banned from entering the US.

He'll announce the country he's going to bomb next (to avoid the Epstein/drumpf files.
Then the ugly clown will announce Democrats are terrorists and illegal. Something stupid like that.
After that, he'll ramble on nonsensically, shit himself, and have to be escorted away as his dementia state begins to creep everyone out...

Wasn't he due for a top off of his totally not antidementia meds? It's funny how an address to the nation is right after that.
