    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Bloodless? Anyway, lots of News stories out about Trump & Cuba now, since Trump (not the ‘still & current’ regime in Venezuela) cut off all oil from Venezuela to Cuba…that they “have to” make a deal or Else (!!) without saying what the deal is about. What “deal” does Trump want from Cuba?

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    I can see this being both a regime change and not a regime change, depending on the perspective. It’s a weird situation. Trump/America invading the country and now calling the shots, that’s different.😁 It is a weird situation. I could probably argue that the regime change hasn’t changed...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Ah… so both were controlled by Trump then? That’s interesting all by itself, seeing as he’s the one calling the shots as opposed to the current sitting Venezuelan president.

    President Trump declared a national (?The nation of America or the nation of Venezuela though?) emergency to shield Venezuelan oil revenue held by the U.S. government from seizure by private creditors, framing it as critical to U.S. national security and regional stability. Ah… Trump said in...

    Iranically Iran, Middle East’s Karen…

    Iran has weathered past waves of protests with crackdowns like the current bloody suppression. But this time the leadership is facing nationwide demonstrations that evolved from complaints about dire economic hardships to defiant calls for the fall of the clerical establishment, and with its...

    Two years ago…this was post number one, the very first paragraph to start this thread: …& here we are today…"Things here are very, very bad," a source in Tehran said on Sunday. "A lot of our friends have been killed. They were firing live rounds. It's like a war zone, the streets are full of...

    Venezuela? What’s up with that?

    Who was in charge of Venezuela an month ago? Who’s in charge of Venezuela today? (YouTube & Trump: U.S. will run Venezuela) According to Trump, the US would "run" Venezuela until there is a "safe, proper and judicious transition". Trump went on to say that the US and US companies would seize...
