I figured 2026 would be the year that MAGA would collapse under the weight of its own internal contradictions. I didn’t anticipate it would happen so soon or over Venezuela.
MAGA will continue to exist as a cult of personality for the types of people who are fans of Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, Ben Shapiro. It might attract some former Never Trumpers. It is bleeding out nationalists, populists, libertarians, former Alt-Righters, Rust Belt Independents, etc. The people who were repulsed by George W. Bush era neoconservatism and who wanted to put “America First” and who backed Trump in the primary in 2016 will move on.
If I were a presidential advisor, I’d tell Trump to officially keep the United States out of any attacks on Israel’s enemies but take a page from LBJ’s book.
Trump should take a page from Lyndon Baines Johnson who could Bill Clinton a thing or two about being slick and slimy by having any Americans he selects to fight for Israel actually fight under Israel, donning the IDF uniform and using Israeli planes, etc.
LBJ did precisely this during the Six Day War that repelled a united attack by many Arab states and not only did Israel get more territory but thanks to the Great Wurlitzer, was extolled all over hell’s half acre as this plucky little country of Davids fending off all these Goliaths trying to destroy it.
I was living near a military base during June of 1967 as a child and all I remember is that almost all of the military families had fathers who had to go out of the country on temporary duty for “training” that week.
Later, Clinton would have Americans bombing Serbia wearing blue UN helmets. Another red flag to me.
In any case, Trump could do the same but use highly paid mercenaries who used to be in either the American or NATO military to fly Israeli planes to attack Iran.
This neoNeoCon strategy of the Trump is inappropriate and ill-advised for an administration that doesn’t want to be further hamstrung by one impeachment after another by a Democrat majority Congress.
The Pro/Free Palestine Wave that the Democrats are riding for all they are worth is actually an ANTI-DRAFT MOVEMENT composed of 18-29 DRAFT AGE Americans on both Left and Right who can read the handwriting on the wall and don’t like what they are seeing.
This is different. Maduro was served up from insiders. Trump loves putting on shows. The military shock and awe crap spectacle makes me think of a high end youtuber/tik tok influencer video. It’s getting the views no doubt. Everything is so fake and gay.
His VP Delcy Rodriguez served him up on a silver platter to Trump. She shored up lots of support from the army beforehand, which is why there was zero resistance. Maduro’s personal security of Cubans were all bribed but ended up getting liquidated by Rodriguez’s people or someone working for her. It was a better than average show, but very much a show.
Pretty typical of a Trump presidency – foreign meddling, fealty to Israel and the jews, stonks keep hitting all time highs as the Top 10% and oligarchs and corporations gain more wealth and power, mindless diversions(Kirk, ICE, NatGuard murder, MN Somalians, etc), serfs just muddling along.
Trump’s gamble in Venezuela, depends on how many Venezuelans are patriots.
Since some 8 million Venezuelans have fled since Hugo Chavez tried to imitate Castro’s brand of Marxism there – mostly to other places in Latin America – it will be interesting to see if they start making their way back home. These ones sent up here by Maduro in the “Biden” regime were criminals. Maduro was imitating Castro here too, who emptied his prisons for the Mariel boat invasion of Florida during the Carter administration.
True. Although most are White, and many have fled Venezuala and it’s Antifa like turba gangs, local Mestizo Bolivarian mafias, and government directed persecution, it’s clear there are still plenty of Whites left in Venezuala. Listen to them here after the airstrikes.

The only thing that gives me pleasure in this affair is that venezuelan people have freed themselves from a true dictator and also seeing communists and leftists around the world (including those in my country) cry and get angry.
Disco Boots Rubio will be the Viceroy?
Delcy Rodriguez revealed where Maduro was.
She is getting defiant and Trump (MIGA) already threatened
Anything that makes subhuman vermin commie RAT POS cry is a good thing.

Basically Hunter has political PTSD from the GWOT era, which he never served in, and crashes out anytime he reads about Americans kicking ass anywhere ever.
Unless it’s to save his fishing hole from being turned into a casino by the same people we are then kicking ass, which is funny, because that will never happen and if it does it would be too late.
To late Hunter. The best I can make you feel regardless of the fact it isn’t true but you want to believe it, just like my buddy who bled out thinking he was going to make it, is that
“Yes, we fooled you. Trump personally told me to do it. The whole time MAGA was fake and gay. You can die politically and fold up OD now and give up knowing you did the right thing.”
Sigh. Damn you Jimmy Carter! The demonic ghost who won’t stop taking over and inhabitating some of my best political persona hopes.
@Aryan Globalist Bro:
There are very valid reasons why “Hunter has PTSD from the GWOT era.”
Kindly demonstrate what the average American (who does NOT own stock in Halliburton, etc.) gained from our misadventures in the Mideast on behalf our Entangling Ally, Israel? Aside from trillions of dollars, runaway inflation, crumbling infrastructure with bridges that collapsed under many Americans in rush hour traffic, soldiers who either lost their lives or minds and limbs. Endless war refugees who served as “interpreters” than you can shake a stick at fleeing here to soak up welfare benefits, while raping women and children?
A GWOT that put the United States to the tune of 40-50 trillion in debt (greatly underestimated, IMO) with no end in sight thanks to MORE wars that will put us into such a deep hole that it’s not only DRAFT OUR KIDS FOR ISRAEL but STARVE OUR SENIORS FOR ISRAEL to make Benjamin Shapiro happy.
At this point, I believe Trump DESERVES to be impeached for this idiocy alone. I have never, in my many years on this planet seen a more stupid, self-aggrandizing MEATHEAD in my decades of watching various administrations juggle The Entangling Alliance while actually getting an agenda through which would actually give their base SOME of what they voted for.
Again, Trump could have taken a page from the LBJ-Clinton playbook of COVERT military support for Israel while building that BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL rather than simply hiring a bunch of INS personnel who will only end up twiddling their thumbs and processing the immivasion when the Democrats take over.
Mark Levin keeps yammering about how we can walk and chew gum at the same time, so WHY CAN’T WE? Because Don the Con has been conned by a bunch of people who have isolated him so THEIR voices only are heard and he actually BELIEVES keeping our southern border open while creating MORE refugees from Central and South America will Make America Great Again.
Oh, HELL NO, it will only make America a bankrupt, overextended empire who ultimately gets swallowed up by hordes of radicalized Anti-American communists and Islamists.
Putin gets Ukraine. Xi gets Taiwan and Trumps gets Venezuela, that is the deal.
Looks like another motivation has just surfaced with respect to this latest episode of performance art from Cheetohead the TACO-kang. (((Paul Singer))) is one of Zion-Don’s NYC pals and it looks like he’s made out like “Lucky Larry” Silverstein, who pocketed billions from the WTC operation. That Jewish lightning is just amazing, astonishing Cohenkidinks happening whenever the tribe is involved. Singer, for those who might be unaware, is a major pusher of the Sodomite/LGBTQ aganda worldwide. That’s why we had the previous “conservative” Trump regime pushing Sodomy on all sorts of countries around the planet. More “liberal democracy”.
The debts the Paul Singers of the world and the rest of The Usual Suspects collect through their well refined tactics of Usury are Odious Debts and therefore, should be repudiated. The debts were contracted by despotic regimes for the benefit of the oligarchs in charge who absconded with the money. The lenders to such regimes in Africa and S. America knew the loans were made in bad faith i.e. they were for the benefit of the scumbags in charge, not the country itself and that the loans would quickly go into default racking up fees and late charges.
The usurers also knew they could rely on corrupt courts primarily in the U.S. and UK to collect on these Odious Debts by strangling the economic life out of these countries thereby punishing with further poverty the already poor citizens of these Third World shitholes. If there were an ounce of justice in the courts of the U.S. and the UK the debts would be declared Odious Debts and therefore, uncollectable. This is the same principle behind debts being declared null and void when contracted under fraud or for an illegal purpose such as drugs or illegal gambling. Fat chance of that happening with the horrible oligarchs currently running the U.S. and the UK.
At least lunatic Tim Walz’s political career is over after his resignation today, good riddance to bad trash.
Israel looks like it’s preparing for another war against Iran (at least). They have already instructed DJT what his role will be in this future war: the U.S. will do the majority of the fighting after Our Greatest Ally starts the war. None of the Profiles in Courage in Congress (with few exceptions e.g. Massie (R) Kentucky) will raise any objection. Miss Lindsay will set the tone. Perhaps he will wear his cheerleader outfit in public as he celebrates another war.
Unz recently penned an article comparing Trump to Caligula. Though Trump is fairly insane, I don’t think he’s gone full-bore Caligula-level crazy … yet. I must say that replacing the entire Senate with horses and maybe dog plus some pigs and chickens would be an awesome move though. It would at least double the overall intelligence level of the chamber and provide better entertainment. Lady G should appear in her evening gown – kind of like the character in the all-white NYC appartment in the original movie The Producers.
It will be Springtime for Hitler (and Germany) all over again.
@12AX7:
Unless Trump pulls his head out of Netanyahu’s fat rump and finds some way to OFFICALLY keep AMERICANS out of it, he will be impeached by a Democrat Congress and convicted by a Democrat Senate. Then he has prison to look forward to thanks to any and all TRUMPED UP CHARGES the Democrat Justice System can level at him. And he will deserve every bit of this because The Great Uniter is going to unite both the Left AND the Right against him.
Again, Trump could run the LBJ Playbook during the Six Days War or the Clinton Playbook when it came to bombing Serbia, but he remains too much of an Attention Whore to let SATANYAHU take the credit/blame for the outcome. I am honestly starting to believe that Trump BELIEVES that openly supporting our little bandit client state is a good look that says America is BADASS instead of shouting to the rooftops that Trump is not only presiding over a Clowngress of Israel’s bitches but is the biggest Israel’s Bitch himself.
Clytemnestra, you are correct and as you have noted, Trump will deserve every bit of abuse he gets for starting wars especially on behalf of Our Greatest Ally.
The Achilles’ heel of U.S. military strategy is the lack of troops and industrial capacity to sustain long term conflict, especially if it occurs in multiple theaters simultaneously. the military simply doesn’t have the manpower and there isn’t the industrial base either to replace losses of equipment. Remedying the lack of industrial capacity would take years and cost a fortune.
Remedying the lack of qualified manpower would require conscription. Even using ‘stop loss’ orders to prevent men from leaving the military and calling up reserves wouldn’t provide sufficient manpower if there were significant conflicts. The U.S. Government would have to bring back conscription to provide sufficient numbers of troops. This burden would naturally fall most heavily on White males i.e. real Americans especially if there were a war with China over Taiwan.
One is hard pressed to think of any other misguided policy from the U.S. Government that would incite such widespread, violent opposition to a Government policy. Conscription would unite the Right and Left against the Government resulting in eventual failure of conscription the way President Nixon ended conscription in Jan. 1973 after the Paris Peace Treaty was signed ending U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. All the efforts of the Lügenpresse to sell war and conscription would be for naught as the public simply refused to cooperate with conscription. This doesn’t mean the Government wouldn’t pursue its destructive policies, if just means they would fail because of deep and broad opposition.
The first link to ABC was classic old school interviewing. I don’t agree with his agenda, but he asked very good questions and put Rubio on the spot.
It’s seems clear at this early hour, from that interview at least, that the Administration has an excellent operational plan. Sadly, tand ypically in post Vietnam era governance, it doesn’t have an effective articulated policy backing the operational plan. This was the main problem with Iraq. Great operational plan, superbly executed, but not a clear or at least viable policy goal.
To put this in perspective, in the last days of WWII, the Allies had a policy backing their operational plan to end the Nazi regime. When Hitler was dead and had transfered power, they dealt with the successor authorities and demanded letters recognizing the defeat of the Nazi regime, ordering the Nazi resistance to end, and begin conditions for transferring power and authority to an already Allied agreed upon occupational authority. We don’t need to operationally occupy Venezuala. But it is clearly an operational goal to end the regime. But what next?
Rubio says this was a law enforcement operation, with a law enforcement and military operational goal of ending various badness from Venezuala. In reality it’s aimed as a regime change. They can’t have it both ways.
The Trump Administration needs to be clear about explaining that and demanding the successor authorities to submit to American power and negotiate with us a transition government which should include the legitimately recognized government in exile. It seems to me they don’t have a good communication strategy explaining this which means they haven’t really thought this through. Execution fantastic. End goal unclear and no food answers to rough questions. “What legal authority to run Venezuala?” Damn legal authority! Damn your neo liberal rules based order! Our removal of the Maduro regime by force is our authority! That should be the reply, but it wasnt. That’s not good.
@Aryan Globalist Bro:
Good summary about admitting arresting Mr. and Mrs. Maduro was about regime change and having the interim authorities submit to American power and negotiate a transition government.
BUT, and I add THIS PROVISO: None of this “Winning Hearts and Minds” BS. The moment I have heard that statement come out of the mouths of EVERY sheepish-looking general since VIETNAM and THAT, to me, is a RED FLAG that just screams Quagmire, loss of American lives, limbs, and minds for absolutely NADA and BONUS POINTS, all these “military interpreters” becoming refugees over hear to soak up welfare.
The Army Corps of Engineers should be working on AMERICAN infrastructure; mainly that BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL and OUR railroads, highways, airports and bridges.
Let INVESTORS rebuild and restore VENEZUELA. Pete Hegseth likes to talk about military LETHALITY? Well, IMNSHO NOTHING is more Lethal than a bunch of rapacious hedge fund managers who want to make good on their profits. Hand Venezuela over to THEM. Leave OUR troops OUT of there.
Also this is hardly a neocon operation. They aren’t going there under the banner of Moral Neo Liberal talking points under neo liberal rules based order authority. Instead it’s classic machievellian realpolitic operation that used its operational authority under a heriarchy of power. It’s the way the West operated forever until 1945 before it developed the post war consensus with the USSR.
The post war consensus has completely broken down. It was based upon liberal European idealism. Once the European powers, including America weakened themselves to such an extent they couldnt enforce it, AND the third worlders starting walking all over it, the system was done China and India are spreading their tentacles and entire colonies around the globe. Russia has imperialistically invaded a fellow White country and European sovereign amin the largest war Europe has seen since WWII. Third worlders are committing outrages and massacres against us at home and abroad. It’s time to out the neo liberal rules based order that has been handcuffing us for 80 years in the grave. That’s what should be an end goal of this operation.
“The strong do what we can and the weak suffer what they must.” That was the Athenian reply to Melos when they complained under the rules based order regime of that ancient time. The US has the power to exercise it’s will in areas of VITAL AMERICAN INTERESTS. It doesn’t have the power to enforce the liberal rules based order worldwide. No one follows it anymore except us and the Europeans. We are willingly tying one hand around our balls to fight these mofos. We’ve failed every time trying to square the circle with our decreasing power and the illiberal demands of the third worlders. Time to put away the handcuffs and restore a working heriarchial power structure in the increasingly multipolar world.
Venezuala is our backyard. It funds our closest enemy, Cuba. It sends poison into our streets and kills our people. It colonizes our land with their refugees and more criminal elements. It works with China and Cuba to subvert our interests, our commerce, our property and our persons AND OUR ELECTIONS. Americans get killed or lose their property and assets all the time by Venezualan affiliated assets. We now have kicked this son of bitch and his regime in the teeth for doing it We have a historic policy of being the hegemon in the Western Hemisphere. Time to reboot back to the era when we we were. This operation is along those lines. Therefore it is not a neocon operation.

Yes, but it was “DUH, JEWS” who created the Hierarchy of Victims that turns the – quite sensible, in my opinion, Athenian reply on its head. From WWII on, it’s the weakest, tiniest minorities who hold VETO POWER and often infringe on the rights of the more numerous majorities and the search for NEW victims to lift up and further push straight White Christians to the back of the bus never ends. If they can’t FIND some new Snivel Right to shove down our throats then, by God, they will CREATE one, i.e. TRANS-KIDS.
They organized the Blacks who picked up their OWN peculiar battle cry of SHUT UP, RACIST! This battle cry was then echoed by dot HINDU INDIANS and the LatinX Mestizos who entered legally under the Anti-White 1964 Immigration “Reform” Bill. So, after all these years of MUH HOLOCAUST and MUH SLAVERY and MUH COLONIALIZATION and BURY MUH HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE and I DIDN’T CROSS THE BORDER, it CROSSED ME, GRINGO and all sorts of other guilt trips heaped on the WASP Founding Stock which is now constantly portrayed in both academia and the media as the worst scum on earth – is NOT going to GO AWAY with a Stern Little Peptalk from a Nietzchean Warmonger like you.
The damage has been too compreCOHENsive to rally Young White Men after decades of this kind of relentless demoralization since WWII to fight for YOUR COUNTRY’s INTERESTS out of some misguided patriotism. How patriotic do you expect young men to be when THEIR PATRIARCHS squandered away the posterity they were supposed to leave their descendants/ And what difference does it make, anyway? Ben Shapiro, himself, said he doesn’t give a damn about the browning of AMERICA. So, I see NO reason why ANY White men should die to defend some OTHER country’s borders when ours are wide open and their country is up for grabs between the warring tribes let in.
I respectfully suggest you and your confreres engage in some action, action, action. The first being, BUILD THAT BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL. And instead of forcing socialized risks on me and my countrymen while privatizing your profits, I want to see EVERY AMERICAN get a share of any profits that companies like Lockheed and Halliburton as well as AI generate for their shareholders. Until then, enough with the stern little peptalks. I can speak for us all when I say THEY DON’T RESONATE. WE ARE OVER IT!
As I’ve stated many times before, all of the actions of this administration thus far with respect to the great replacement amount to temporary patches. Yes, border crossings have plummeted. Yes the DHS is arresting invaders, mainly small-fry. This can all be undone in far less time under a President Newsome reversing Trump’s EOs since he would have full support of the blackrobed kritarchy in doing so. What nobody in the Gay Old Pedoburo is even discussing is going after those who hire the invaders. That means going after some folks with deep pockets – including Miriam Adelson (a major employer of invaders via her casino empire). One does not need a DHS Soviet-style ‘Army of the Interior Ministry’ to haul off maybe 100,000 or so employers of invaders and arrest their assets using the extant RICO laws.
I agree Exalted. I believe going after the employers with the limited ICE army and backed by the FBI would be the way to go. Honestly, I think they could do both. Actually I think they should do both plus my plan of mobilizing the national guard and appointing us Marshals to lead them into insurrectionary cities, counties and states and roll them all up and try them before courts martial. End it all.
Some potential to help the USA… Maybe. Guyana situation could help Europe be not so dependent on Russian energy. Looks like they cant just take the potential win and still want to bomb the Iranian mountain for useless Israel. The refugee stuff is nonsense and having no successor is retarded.
“The 7.7 million Venezuelans who have left the country in the past decade have been mostly younger residents fleeing economic collapse, while the middle-aged and elderly stayed, seeing the value of their wages and pensions collapse. In central and coveted neighborhoods like Los Palos Grandes, those left behind are now living in the middle of a consumption boom they’re not privy to, fueled by the free-flowing US dollar.
After years of economic crisis and out-of-control inflation, Venezuela’s government moved to allow the dollar to be used across large swathes of the economy, unleashing entrepreneurship. While that was enough to prompt the opening of new restaurants and high-end shops, economic progress has been uneven, particularly for many Venezuelans who still struggle with stagnated salaries paid out in bolivars.
At El Bosque restaurant down the street from her building, a pork belly appetizer costs $22. A slice of cake at the coffee shop on her building’s ground floor sells for $6.5.
Venezuela last raised the monthly minimum wage to a mix of $60 in handouts, $40 in food stamps and a base salary of less than $4. Public workers earn about $40 a month before government handouts, according to Venezuela’s Finance Observatory. That compares to monthly food costs of about $550 for a family of four.” (Bloomberg)
“Fuel has become scarce and hard on people’s wallets. Filling up a tank of gas at the subsidised price may be cheaper, but you need to wait hours – sometimes days – in long queues to do so. Paying international prices means spending at least $20 when the minimum wage is less than $4. This has also affected agricultural production and food distribution in rural areas, where it’s even harder to get by.”
“The tiny South American nation of Guyana, once one of the continent’s poorest countries, recently emerged as a top oil producer. After a swathe of high-quality discoveries in the offshore Stabroek Block, the government in Georgetown finds itself managing one of the world’s largest oil booms. In roughly a decade, Guyana went from its first oil discovery to South America’s third-largest oil producer with signs of further growth ahead. This delivered a massive economic dividend for the country of less than one million, which sees it now ranked among the wealthiest in South America.
Key to Guyana’s booming hydrocarbon sector is the 6.6 million offshore Stabroek Block. It is here that ExxonMobil, which is the operator holding a 45% interest along with partners Chevron and CNOOC, controlling 30% and 25% respectively, made the first oil discovery in Guyana’s territorial waters during 2015. This was followed by a swathe of major commercially viable discoveries, which were eventually estimated to collectively contain recoverable oil resources of around 11 billion barrels. The oil discovered is light and sweetwith an API gravity of 31.9 degrees and 0.59% sulfur, making it desirable in a low-emission world.”.
“Despite ranking as one of the world’s top 15 countries in renewable fresh water resources, nearly 8 out of 10 Venezuelans do not have continuous access to clean drinking water and basic sanitation. For most citizens, the water they sporadically consume is of dubious quality or not drinkable.
Clean water in Venezuela has become a luxury, and even with price controls set in place, a bottle of water is abkut $3, about, a significant portion of the country’s minimum wage of approximately $8 a month.
Venezuela’s water crisis also impacts wastewater collection, sanitation, control over sewage, and farmer’s access to water for irrigation. Partly as a result, national production in agriculture, including for main crops such as rice, corn, and coffee, has fallen to approximately 60 percent within the last 20 years.”
The collapse of the healthcare system has been one of the most obvious and drastic aspects of Venezuela’s humanitarian crisis.
Unprecedented spikes in rates of maternal and child mortality were noted as early as 2016. The following year, Maduro, who denied the severity of the situation, fired his health minister after she disclosed that the number of women dying in childbirth had risen by 65% in less than two years, while child deaths had increased by 30%.
After a decade of underfinancing that saw an exodus of medical professionals and a rapid decaying of infrastructure, the capacity of Venezuela’s health services was already estimated to have been reduced by 70% by the time COVID-19 hit. The pandemic drove that figure to more than 80%, according to HumVenezuela.
Andrea, a nurse at the Ana Francisca Pérez de León Hospital in the Petare neighbourhood of Caracas, said the worst years were between 2015 and 2021. During that period, many doctors left and sometimes only nurses tended to the patients.”
“But experts and Venezuelan residents who live near production sites say that due to the deterioration of oil facilities, ramping up output is causing more accidents.
The state-run oil company, PDVSA, which produces the vast majority of the country’s oil, no longer publishes data on oil spills and did not respond to NPR’s requests for comment. But according to a report published in January by the independent Observatory of Political Ecology of Venezuela, there were at least 86 oil spills and natural gas leaks in Venezuela last year, up from 77 in 2021.”
I asked AI to give me a percent of total usage of illegal drugs by the USA and it came back with some estimates:
Normalized for Population and Wealth
If you want a “per?capita or GDP-normalized consumption share” rather than a straight share of total value, the basic logic is:
The U.S. has about 4–5 % of global population.
It likely accounts for ~ 22–33 % of global illegal drug retail value (ballpark).
Adjusting for population and GDP means U.S. consumption per person and per unit of GDP is much higher than the global average.
However, there is no globally harmonized source that reports this normalization directly.
Bottom Line
+ There is no precise statistic for the percentage of global drug quantity consumed by the U.S. — that data simply doesn’t exist at the global scale because of measurement issues.
+ Using economic proxies (retail market value), the U.S. likely accounts for roughly ~ 22% – 33% of the global illegal drug market value.
– That’s far greater than its share of global population or GDP — indicating relatively high consumption normalized to wealth and purchasing power…
Using global “Rambo” logic:
So, instead of trying to kill all the countries who are suppliers of drugs why not wipe out out the countries that are high consumers of illegal drugs like the USA, the very top of the illegal drug consumption list?
Why don’t all the top nations join together to empty their nuke arsenals into America and just wipe the USA off the face of the earth and be done with this hypocritical king pin of the drug racket and maybe the other countries that are high consumers will then go after drug usage in their countries before they meet the same fate?
The “Rambo” sword could be a two-edged sword…
