Welp, it had to happen eventually. Somebody will want to talk politics so here it is. This is specifically for US Politics
On the same day the US Military destroyed a privately owned speedboat off the coast of Venezuela, killing all aboard, Trump announced that he's changing the name of the Department of Defense, to the Department of war.
I see this as another step in America's rapid march into neo-Fascism. The US recently took a 15% ownership stake in Intel, and claimed a percentage of revenues in Nvidia sales of chip making machinery.
I recommend that instead of Department of War, that all Americans call it Wehrmacht so as not to conceal the true nature of this move.
In recent weeks, Trump ordered a huge deployment of warships and submarines off the coast of Venezuela, a country that is not at war with, much less threatening the security of, mainland USA. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, what went wrong yesterday, is that US troops blew up a small vessel outside of US territorial waters, killing all aboard.
The post hoc justification is that they were smuggling drugs into the US. Even if this were the case, this does not carry the Death Penalty even after trial and conviction. This makes the action a case of straight up murder. The vessel was not big enough to supply a frat party or Zelensky conference. Whatever evidence was on onboard is now gone, leaving zero justification for this move. The boat also could not possibly have reached US waters with the fuel onboard, and some reports suggest it was bound for Trinidad.
What does Venezuela have that factions in the US want to take control of by any means? Vast reserves of oil, well suited for existing refining capacity along the Gulf Coast.
Between Ukraine, Israel, Iran, and now Venezuela, Trump may already have the US in WWIII. NOT the promises he made when campaigning!

Do you sit in a cuck chair and beat off as you watch them fuck our country in the ass?
Do you lose your cuckboner at every deportation?
Bottom line:
entering the country illegally makes them criminal invaders, and they need to be booted out.
@SeasonedRP yes, flooding the market with cheap labor, to the detriment of established and even Union workers, goes diametrically against what the ACTUAL, ideologically aware and committed Left has clearly and openly stood for, for like a solid century now. Cheap labor, and crime/chaos driving middle class people out of areas to crash property values and make them ripe for big capital to scoop up, directly benefits the capital class. They also live in enclaves safely firewalled away from the crime they very likely help foment through paid proxies.
What gets held out as "the left " to right wing audiences to manipulate them, makes an unrecognizable caricature of what actual left leaning people actually believe and stand for.
@MentORPHEUS I don't know the ins and outs of how ICE operates, and how they fit into checks & balances and such. But I see no problem with throwing out paperless/illegal immigrants - regardless of their criminal status otherwise, whether they're violent or not etc.
There's a proper way of moving from one country to another. And when you don't do it the proper way, there's usually a reason for that (criminal record from your country of origin etc.). All other countries enforce this, and throw people out when they haven't followed the rules of immigration.
I know what I would do if I were to move to the U.S; I'd make sure all papers were in order, and that everything was stamped, approved, and above-board. The only reason I wouldn't would be if I had a criminal record, or for some other reason knew I wouldn't make the cut the legal way.
The laws, regulations, and demand for proper paperwork is there for a reason. And ignoring it (because tears and sob stories) undermines the entire system.
Read More@MentORPHEUS Those things are happening for sure. I don't know if the result is collapse or continued upward transfer of wealth. But the formerly open border and tacit approval of street crime are coming from the .01%.
