Wait until the Danes sink a United States frigate in defense of Greenland, a legal part of their own country.

Oh, sure. Tell me it can't happen.

I do find it very funny (also very sad) that how politicians feel are often so different than what the actual people feel.

But Dems can continue trying to make points based on how politicians feel all they want. That just allows for someone like Trump to get elected. Even in his first term when he was supposed to lose by a landslide...because liberals were too busy thinking that since most politicians felt one way then that means everyday citizens feel that way, too. Which is a very sad ideology because, when you take out any partisan impact at all, almost every single person accepts that governing by how politicians feel is a terrible way to govern.

Here's an idea....stick your head in a gas oven, blow out the pilot light, and then turn it in full blast. You won't be missed.

@#12 ... then follow the drugs.....hopefully little speed boats that disintegrate..... ...

Please explain how those "little speed boats" would be able to travel the many miles to reach US shores?


And while your current alias is at it, also, please explain why you think those "little speed boats" are heading to the US.

thx.

From the link in #16

... A veteran reporter with extensive contacts in Venezuela said the situation on the ground since the U.S. invasion has quickly spiraled out of control.

Armed paramilitary groups aligned with the government are cracking down on journalists under a state of emergency declared Monday, forbidding Venezuelans from showing support for the U.S. capture of Nicols Maduro as his former deputy, Delcy Rodrguez, the country's new leader, consolidates control, reported Financial Times. ...

Drones spotted flying over Caracas, Venezuelan air defenses triggered with shots fired

... Initial reports indicate that heavy gunfire was deployed against what appear to be drones near the main government building, and that the city's main ministries were evacuated.

Drones were spotted near the airspace over the Palacio de Miraflores in Caracas, Venezuela's capital, according to Spanish-language news outlets on Monday, with additional reports of clashes in the streets and shots fired.

The Venezuelan government confirmed that the drones were spotted illegally flying over Caracas by security officials, with the police firing warning shots in an attempt to deter the situation.

Initial reports indicated that heavy gunfire was deployed against what appeared to be drones near the main government building, and that the city's main ministries were evacuated, according to the South American site Infobae.

The shootings began at around 8.00 p.m. local time (GMT-4), with videos surfacing of people running into and hiding in stores and buildings, while heavy gunfire is heard in the background. ...

This situation erupted just hours after Delcy Rodriguez, the former vice president under the government of Nicolas Maduro, was officially sworn in as Venezuela's new president on Monday. ...
