@Vermillion-Rx I completely get what you are saying about the lives, time, and money wasted in the Middle East. I will state that Venezuela does have one major difference of being relatively close to the US. So that factor helps make the operation happen more easily and quickly.
Even if a quick op was not in the cards for Iraq or Afghanistan, it still does not justify the costs of the wars.
Imagine if George W Bitch just abducted Saddam Hussein over night instead of fucking us over
Wild.
I see your point but even if "armed to the teeth" (true) they couldn't have just bombed these mother fuckers? As opposed to a bloody and costly full scale war?
I'm not arguing the effectiveness or benefits of deposing foreign dictators
I am however pointing out how unbelievably better of a trade off just doing a targeted YOLO was to pull off compared to crippling our veterans for trillions of wasted dollars
Like what the fuck why did we do that?
This whole operation is a fucking Black pill
THANK YOU
seriously we couldn't have just bombed his house if not just abducting him in the dead of night?
Abducting Maduro without barely a fuss even when there was obvious escalation has black pilled the fuck out of me
We went through HOW MANY YEARS OF WAR FOR WHAT
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
It's THIS easy?
Dear fucking God
Fuck yes!
Finally. Someone else is saying this.
“WMD” is among the biggest payola in modern human history. They didn’t even waste time pulling a false flag. Just point and accuse.
I have said it many times before but that single phrase is what killed the United States of America and led to the transition to this new country we currently live in
Exactly, but it really points out the broader issues of previous foreign policy decisions/wars
Specifically the ones aimed at deposing faggots
Like really? All those wars and dead fathers, husbands, brothers, and sons? Really?
Blackpill us all
@Vermillion-Rx Ah yeah I take your meaning.
Perhaps it's a case of hard lessons learnt. It might be easier to install a puppet that will give you a decent trade deal on the oil reserves than trying to take it at the source. We're two decades on from all of that, probably plenty of technological/tactical advancements that make it possible now and not then.
But what do I know?
It wasn't a complete bust, though, they found the tomb of Gilgamesh and the giants of Afghanistan.
It's THIS easy?
Dear fucking God
Naw man, nothing easy about that. Saddam/Osama would have been in armed-to-the-gills compounds, and Maduro was likely relatively well protected too. Calling it easy detracts from the monumental precision required to pull a stunt like that.
Putin is seething that he couldn't pull some shit like this on Zelensky and is instead grinding meat into irrelevant Ukrainian farmland for three years.
Spectacular.
