Trump told reporters that both Colombia and Venezuela were “very sick” and that the government in Bogota was run by “a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States”.
He also reiterated threats to send the US military back to Venezuela if it “doesn’t behave”.
“Cuba is ready to fall. Cuba looks like it’s ready to fall,” he said. “Cuba now has no income. They got all of their income from Venezuela, from the Venezuelan oil. They’re not getting any of it. Cuba literally is ready to fall.”
Trump went on to warn neighbouring Mexico, saying the country “has to get their act together because they’re [drugs] pouring through Mexico and we’re going to have to do something”.
This is how a dictator talks.
The funny thing is if south america got together and formed some kind of NATO type organization they would probably trounce the US in a war. There's only so much air superiority can do if you outnumber your enemies 10 to 1
I wonder who would actually win, Americans or Americans
We should do like in olden days, put Trump on a horse and let him lead the way (or a plane or boat, whatever). Remember that time when he claimed he would have run in to a shooting situation and saved everyone? Show us, dear leader, how it's done.
The same Orange that dodged draft?
Most coked up administration in history
Bombings will continue until morale improves. I love how people act like this is somehow a new thing but US has been doing this for like 100 years, nothing new at all.
Russia saw a weakness in Ukraine and took it, the US did damage control there.
Russia responded with the Gaza attack so that the US have to divert weapons to Israel.
The US responds with Venezuela and Cuba. Meanwhile, in Africa, Russia and US are arming opposing factions for some old school skirmishes.
China has entered the chat there too with some economic strategies initially and weaponry flowing in soon.
If TSMC ramps up their chips production in the US on the latest nodes, Taiwan is no longer of use to the US and it falls to China.
The US will take the opportunity and take Cuba and maybe Greenland
EU does nothing, might even be completely destabilized, unless Germany decides to wake up the beast and then who knows how that'll go. My guess is right. Far right.
The only difference is how brazen they're being about it. Previous administrations have given the CIA a long leash in Latin America and relied on black bag operations there. Not this out in the open, daring the world to do something about it, kind of thing trump is doing
