| LegitHyperbole said: People are against Ttumpnon this, I don't understand but only cause perhaps they don't know the situation since 2014 in the country, if they did they would support Trump on this.... I think. You were right but the details of how Maduro was taken out of power are stranger than fiction. |
Maduro is bad. I don't really feel bad that he has been deposed. What will actually change now is a big question mark though. Seems the current government is just his stooges. Is this regime change or is this a hostage situation? Seems to me like Trump doesn't care about the suffering of the people of Venezuela as long as he can steal their resources, but that much is tbd.
On the other hand, what we saw is a President deciding to go to war without Congressional approval. That is profoundly dangerous. Congress exists as a check on the President's power and the Trump administration has been stripping back those checks at every opportunity. When one singular individual controls whether the country goes to war, we are treading on extremely dangerous ground. The people of Greenland undoubtedly feel that danger, but it is far from the limit of Trump's aspirations. When all is said and done, allowing any single person to maintain dictatorial control over our military is tremendously dangerous and is one of the clearest examples of this country's descent into dictatorship which should alarm every American (and pretty much everyone else too).
