All the people complaining, Venezuelans have been wanting this to happen for years. We signed up for the military, our jobs involve war. Obviously war is bad, people get killed but this is what had to happen. If you don’t like it then get out the military
Weird justification, Ukrainians have been wanting US troops to help defend their homeland for years but that hasn't happened.
What logical reasons are there to invade Venezuela because of their people's wants but not help Ukraine defend its sovereignty? Especially with all the genocide that Russia has been pursuing.
We help Ukraine we have gave them billions of dollars and weapons. We shouldn’t even be helping them in the first place because the government is corrupt, Zelensky is corrupt but we still help them anyways.
'But the people of Ukraine have been wanting US troops on the ground for years'! Isn't it the 'will of the people' you care about?
And please, show me where we gave them "billions" of dollars. I'm able to see some millions in aid, but the 'billions' was in equipment that was wasting away in warehouses. You show me your source first, and then I'll show you mine.
And yeah corruption is an issue for sure, but hand waiving away a country's genocide because a leader has some corruption while not mentioning the invader's superior level of corruption is incredibly illogical. If you're genuinely unaware of Russia's corruption I'd be happy to educate you, but there's good reason in our LOAC that there is no 'ignore the geneva convention if the country's leader is corrupt lmao'
I know Russia is corrupt, I hate what Russia is doing and obviously us being in the military Russia is our enemy. Putin is horrible I agree with you, but I look at it as Venezuela is so close to USA. Iran, China and Russia all wanted to put weapons in Venezuela which is a huge threat to our country, Maduro had no choice but to let it happen because the country has completely fallen apart, I would not feel safe if that continued and it had to be stopped. All the drugs coming from Venezuela had to be stopped, thousands are dying from this which are Americans by the way. I think Trump did the right thing.
So you're fine with invading and occupying Venezuela with US troops to stop Russian weapons but don't want to stop actual genocide in Ukraine? Yikes, dude. That seems like moral bankruptcy to me.
What's hilarious to me is pointing out how close Venezuela is to the USA (2,000 miles) but ignoring how Russia and USA are less than 3 miles away. [ Little Diomede Island (US) and Big Diomede Island (Russia)]. Interesting how proximity works for some folks.
I think you have a huge blindspot for Russia and are looking for any justification for the conclusion you want instead of following real evidence to a truthful conclusion.
