From Conservative publication, "The New Republic:"
"It seems that attacking Venezuela was just the beginning for President Donald Trump.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One Sunday, Trump couldn’t stop musing about ordering more large-scale military strikes on various countries—including some U.S. allies—following America’s military operation to kidnap Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro."
************************
Trump made threats against Columbia, Cuba, Mexico, a second attack against Venezuela unless it bowed to his commands, and Greenland, again!
Danish P.M. Warns Donald Trump’s obsession with Greenland is on track to wreck the world order.
"President Donald Trump’s imperialist warpath may be about to destroy NATO.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned Monday that Trump was on course to uproot the 77-year-old defense alliance between the United States and its allies in Europe. 'I believe one should take the American president seriously when he says that he wants Greenland,' Frederiksen said in an interview. 'But I will also make it clear that if the U.S. chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops, including NATO and thus the security that has been established since the end of the Second World War.'
Frederiksen’s attempt to raise the stakes of a potential invasion comes as the imperialist fanatics in the Trump administration—emboldened by its large-scale military operation over the weekend to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro—have turned their attention back to Trump’s holy grail: Greenland.
When asked by a reporter Sunday whether he had plans to take action on Greenland, Trump laughed. 'We’ll worry about Greenland in two months,' he said."

What do P.E. readers think about America under Trump stating that we can control or take over any country we choose for our "security?"

How long before the Fuhrer's inner circle is breached by a double agent from one of the Fuhrer's many world adversaries. When the festering blob of orange rot pushes the wrong lever a loud boom may be heard around the globe. Foreign nations do not like being threatened by a sane and rational person. Le alone a deteriorating raving maniac.
' a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale

I don’t recognize my country anymore.
Good to know that so many support mass murder by a dictator. Of course this is the same group who supports unrestricted abortions so it is not a surprise.
How do you protect people from a dictator. You can't have the countries legal system bring him down.
From public reaction the people in that country and from that country are overjoyed by his ouster. Even the view's own ana navarro cheered the ouster of the SOB. If it is so bad why did biden offer 25 million for his arrest. Most of the outrage is from people who don't care about human life of suffer from severe TDS

skud, I wish you would read my posts before you comment here. Your statement shows you did NOT. Nowhere in my post does it even hint at supporting Maduro.
This post is about Trump's megalomania plans to march into other sovereign nations and take control of them. He's hinted that he'll take Greenland next.
If you had read my post you wouldn't have made such a wildly inaccurate comment. Your abortion reference is nonsensical since electing to have an abortion is a CHOICE a person makes between herself, her doctor, and her partner. It is NOT forced on her. A mass murderer gives his victims no choice. But maybe that's a bit too complicated for you to grasp?
There are mass murderer leaders all over this planet -- Putin comes to mind. And Trump gave that mass murderer a red-carpet welcome that last time he was in the US. Explain that to us so that we understand how Maduro is mass murderer BAD. Putin is mass murderer GOOD. Maybe the hypocrisy is lost on you?
Many millions of Americans and people around the world don't believe the US should be taking the role of the world's policeman, even when a leader of a country is a bad guy. Anyway, for you to think Trump was worried about the mass murder of Venezuelans, I've got a health care plan I'd like to sell you.
Trump is interest in Venezuela's oil. Period. And Greenland's rare Earth minirals. And how to monetize all of those natural resources that other countries have so he can enrich himself and his fellow billionaires.
And, as is usual, you don't have your facts straight. Not all Venezuelans are happy about Trump's invasion and takeover of their country:
"Venezuela’s attorney general, Tarek Saab, called on the government and military to cooperate in standing up to what he called “state terrorism” from the United States, whose commando raid on the country and capture of its president have shaken allies and adversaries alike.
The operation in Venezuela, paired with renewed American threats to seize Greenland, caused some European leaders to push back on Tuesday against President Trump’s might-makes-right vision of power.
Mr. Trump has raised the possibility of intervening in Colombia and Mexico to halt drug trafficking. He has also suggested Cuba’s government is ready to fall."
And this:
Prime Minister Donald Tusk of Poland, speaking ahead of a meeting of European leaders on Tuesday about Ukraine’s security, said that Mr. Trump’s threat to seize Greenland stirred strong emotions across Europe and would likely loom over the meeting. In a defiant joint statement with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark on Tuesday, the leaders of France, Germany, Britain and other countries said that “Greenland belongs to its people.”
Greenland’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, said in a statement that the territory “isn’t something you can deny or take over because you want to,” adding that “very basic international principles are being challenged.”
That is what this post is about. Not abortion. And not your spurious claim that people who are against what Trump did in Venezuela "don't care about human life."
(CONT.)
At least 14,534 civilians killed in Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022. The actual death toll is believed to be significantly higher due to difficulties in verification in active conflict zones.
As of late 2025/early 2026, the Gaza Health Ministry reports over 71,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began on October 7, 2023. While the Ministry does not routinely release the specific number of civilians, various expert analyses and data sources indicate that the vast majority of those killed are civilians.
I've never read your concern about Putin's or Netanyahu's victims, nor your suggestion that Trump invade and depose the leader of Russia or Israel for their human rights violations and crimes.
But then, I've noticed that certain policies by Trump are overlooked by those who don't want to see what's in front of their noses.
Again. We're pretty sure Trump isn't motivated by Venezuelans' deaths, since he didn't show any remorse for the 400,000 deaths of his own citizens during his botched handling of the COVID pandemic, nor the violence, injuries, and deaths LEOs suffered when he incited the January 6, 2021, insurrection against his own government.
IT'S ABOUT THE OIL.
Leave it to the champion for both siderism to weigh in in support of another illegal Trump action. Truth, folks with this mentality is exactly what is wrong with the Trumpublican party and now the country at large. Period. Full Stop.
From BB-Idaho's link:
Trump predicts he will be impeached if Republicans lose the midterms
If Republicans aren't victorious, "I'll get impeached," Trump said.
Sounds like someone who knows he's committed impeachable offenses.
This link didn't work.
WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump and his team are discussing options for acquiring Greenland and the use of the U.S. military in furtherance of the goal is "always an option," the White House said on Tuesday.
Trump's ambition of acquiring Greenland as a strategic U.S. hub in the Arctic, where there is growing interest from Russia and China, has been revived in recent days in the wake of the U.S. arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Greenland has repeatedly said it does not want to be part of the United States.
The White House said in a statement in response to queries from Reuters that Trump sees acquiring Greenland as a U.S. national security priority necessary to "deter our adversaries in the Arctic region."
"The president and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. military is always an option at the commander-in-chief's disposal," the White House said.
A senior U.S. official said discussions about ways to acquire Greenland are active in the Oval Office and that advisers are discussing a variety of options.
Strong statements in support of Greenland from NATO leaders have not deterred Trump, the official said.
“It’s not going away,” the official said about the president's drive to acquire Greenland during his remaining three years in office.
CHRIS HEDGES:
"We have not declared war on Venezuela, but then there was no declared war when we bombed Iran and Yemen. Congress did not approve the kidnapping and bombing of military facilities in Caracas because Congress was not informed.
The Trump administration dressed up the crime — which took the lives of 80 people — as a drug raid and, most bizarrely, as a violation of U.S. firearms statutes: “possession of machine guns and destructive devices; and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices.”
These charges are as absurd as attempting to legitimize the genocide in Gaza as Israel’s “right to defend itself.”
If this was about drugs, former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández would not have been pardoned by Trump last month, after he was sentenced to 45 years in prison for conspiring to distribute over 400 tons of cocaine in the U.S., a conviction that was justified with far greater evidence than that which supports the charges levied against Maduro.
But drugs are the pretext.
Flush with success, there is already talk by Trump and his officials about Iran, Cuba, Greenland and perhaps Colombia, Mexico and Canada.
Absolute power at home and absolute power abroad expands. It feeds off of each lawless act. It snowballs into totalitarianism and disastrous military adventurism.
By the time people realize what has happened, it is too late.
Who will rule Venezuela? Who will rule Gaza? Does it matter?
If nations and people do not bow before the great Moloch in Washington, they are bombed. This is not about establishing legitimate rule. It is not about fair elections. It is about using the threat of death and destruction to procure total subservience.
Trump made this clear when he warned interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodríguez that “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.”
Maduro’s kidnapping was not carried out because of drug trafficking or possession of machine guns. This is about oil. It is, as Trump said, so the U.S. can “run” Venezuela."
Boots on the ground in Venezuela I've read in more than one post. Starting the draft is the latest trend only I have some questions. But first LOL last year skud is the same as the New Year skud - doesn't read the assignment, answers questions only heard in their head, and regurgitates talking points while calling them facts. Same old skud.
So, The Draft! Because removing DEI military personnel has shrunk the ranks a bit. Not sure who SecDef Hegseth (I'm not calling him his preferred name ever. Disrespect to Transgendered warriors means no respect given by me) expects in the draft, unless the wimmenz and BIPOC recruits are fine for dying but not for promoting, or come to think of it, benefits once they complete their tour of duty.
Robber Barons are saying in public that they were not told ahead of the Venezuelan caper. Trump says he called them. Hmmm who to believe? The Liars or the Lying Liar? How about neither of them? Neither works for me, especially since I have an inkling as to where all our deportees will be headed. Someone has to work in the oil fields. Who better than the undesirables* deported from the USA.
Am I sad that our country is going through all these trials and tribulations? Yep, I am. Am I surprised? Not at all. Everything has a cycle and our Democracy is no different. Here/now we are going through our Authoritarian period. To me it's a lot like adolescence with emotions, hormones, and ego. So much ego on display in this administration.
How will it all turn out? No clue. I know how the NAR and their Nat-C faithful want all this to turn out. Not on my watch! I've been meditating For the Good of All and May it Harm None (even though harming some would feel really good, but that's ego which has been sent to their room for bad behavior) like it's my last prayer I'll ever make. Maybe it is since the Project 2025 manifesto was rather clear on what will happen to folks like me. So, doing what I can for as long as I can do it.
*Undesirables = those arrested for being poor, of the wrong religion, wrong sexuality, wrong gender. Basically anyone deemed other. I weep for the world because climate change is going to kick our ass while humanity quibbles about inconsequential things. Oh, consequential for those who let ego drive the brain. Inconsequential for everyone else.
