Maduro was captured by Trump

Hernàndez was captured by Biden. Trump pardoned him because Biden bad.

This world is a shitshow. Honestly, I am GenX and always read of wars and tensions as historical artefacts (there were wars, but localized and far away from France).

Now I am seriously wondering if this is going to end well for us over here. I do not work that much about myself, I had an interesting life, but rather about my children whom I now start to regret. I did not expect to hand them a world like this one.

I know, global warming was there but I was 30 and was looking my close surroundings. My bad. This said, if I know what the world would be today I wrote reconsider having them.

The president should not have the power to apprehend a countries president IN THEIR COUNTRY without a process thats more than just "I really want it". The US is giving another clear message that it does not care about global order, just global control. We're back in the…

It's debatable - to put it mildly - whether Maduro is the legitimate president of Venezuela.

Cuban forces with the help of Russia, Iran and China took control of Venezuela over 25 years ago, effectively looting that nation, and no one bitched about it.

It brings joy to my heart every time democracy is brought to an oil rich country, no matter what the price is.

Yeah, sure.

It is called "Mission Accomplished"[1], right?
