News snippet: China and Russia have expressed support for Venezuela as it confronts a US blockade of sanctioned oil tankers, while Donald Trump continues to ramp up his pressure campaign on the South American country’s president, Nicolás Maduro.
Amid reports of slowing activity at Venezuelan ports, the US president again called for Maduro to leave power, and reiterated that the US would keep or sell the oil it had seized off the coast of Venezuela in recent weeks.
Asked if the goal was to force Maduro from power, Trump told reporters: “I think it’d be smart for him to do that,” before adding “if he wants to do something, if he plays tough, it’ll be the last time he’s ever able to play tough.”

Cool, so now he is starting WW3, tanking the American economy, and cutting programs for those most in need so he can give tax cuts to the rich. If you voted for trump you are an absolute idiot, if you didn’t vote at all in 2024, you are worse than the people who voted for trump.

Why doesnt china send a carrier task group to escort these Venezuelan tankers? Would the USA still try and confiscate them?

We should know Trump is the President of peace. He says so all the time and even got a prize for it. It was a gold prize as well. This would be sarcasm except it seems to be true. I thought there were checks and balances in the American system of government but that does not appear to be the case.

The only possible support is thoughts and prayers and some money. Neither China nor Russia have significant enough logistics to support Venezuela in a meaningful way, let alone against the US. This is not the start of WW3 even if the US took the whole country tomorrow. Calm down everyone. Is this a good scenario? not really, is the alternative a good scenario? no not really. It sucks either way but this is not WW3 you can relax 😅

Trump announces plans for new navy warships to be known as ‘Trump-class’
Why not use the real headline?
President says the ships will be bigger, faster and a hundred times more powerful than any previous US-built warship

Ok so he’s a pirate now, to add to his questionable practices.
I see a DF-21 missile sinking US carriers very very soon. But we have Petey Heg!!
Now it’s getting interesting. We know TACO will blink first.
