I “matched” a girl from Venezuela. You know, had her entire profile in Spanish, but spoke perfect English? She was suggesting that maybe the invasion would help free them from Maduro.
Yeah. They’re trying to psy-op this already, and they know they don’t have the narrative or support it they’re gonna try it anyway.
Nah, it’s no psy-op. People truly hold these beliefs. I can’t blame them for it after the time they’ve had with Maduro, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a belief held by the majority of Venezuelans. In Honduras, people are celebrating the Trump pardon of our narcotrafficker ex-president, saying Trump did the right thing, and cursing the current administration as if it could hold a candle to the crimes we saw during the other guy’s time in power. It’s unhinged, and yet it’s no less true. I can at least sympathize with the Venezuelans who think like that a ton more than I can with my own countrymen, bunch of fucking idiots that they are.
Edit: the perfect English is a byproduct of living in the shadow of the empire. Any chances of financial freedom can only be achieved by working for US companies. That binds you to a race to learn and be good at English as a second language. It’s probably true of any decently-sized city south of the US border. Those who don’t learn English are destined to end up serving those who do end up learning English.
No it’s a bush level unforced error. Not just the administration, but the nation as well. Young men are about to go experience the joy of dying in a jungle as the rest of us suffer because the rest of the world fucking hates us and won’t trade with us anymore.
That’s kind of Trump’s MO, though. Distract from anything embarrassing or problematic for him by committing increasingly greater cruelties that push them off the front page.
It’s going to be Venezuela.

Normally? Yeah. But this is about invading a foreign country because they nationalized their own oil.
This will involve children getting killed. So… No.

You’ll excuse me for being skeptical.
Which part? The psy-op? The Venezuelan invasion?
Or the fact that I matched with anyone?
Yes
Fair
