Nope....he was illegitimate, most countries didn't even acknowledge him as a head of state, since he faked the elections. (Thats why the EU reacted so tamely to his removal).

There is not much difference between these two druglords....both had masses of people under their thumb and armies at their command...and both were just ruthless criminals who made their bloody way to the top,...only the dimension of their power differed (abit)! *shrugs*

Na ja....I dunno....since yesterday its more like "You can do it - you are allowed to!"

The rest is truly only speculation...We can have no idea what happens really in Putin's mind....I wonder if we later, much later, will ever come to read his memoirs or something, heh:)

Expertise and skill is lost quickly and easily....

The first inkling the interested observer got at the direct beginning....Putin didn't brag for fun "Kiev in three days", he surely meant it and seemingly thought the same of his forces as you do still by now!

Bobko....that was 1979 and 1996!!! And yes, the Wehrmacht was once also widely feared and admired....now the world mocks the Bundeswehr..... its all long gone now!

The Ukraine war is the widely observed benchmark now.....so njet, I doubt he can!

How could Putin truly withstand the seduction of presenting Selensky in Moscow to the awed world press? Of course he would have done it by now, if he only could.

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


Proof? :)

.....and no, poisoning some opposition politician or throwing some nay-sayer out of a window is just not the same....


True....what reminds me of a former post of mine....the absolute dependency of the WORLD on the Silicon Valley and its tech firms!

That will become a bigger weapon in the future wars by the year...

....set on conquering the world....and killing everybody who wouldn't want to convert....

That and drugs....its his drug dealing he gets charged with now in jail in the US.....reminds me about Pablo Escobar, the US back then also led a kind of inofficial but very brutal war to end that huge smuggling ring of his...

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


Where is the sense in that? Not to mention that opinions and temperament change....with such leaders as Putin maybe daily!

Selensky is still alive and Kiev still standing because Moscow just lacks the means...yes, sometimes its that easy! If Putin could pull off such a "Delta Operation" he absolutely would have already...twice!

To the other topic before....neither Russia, India or, heaven forbid, China is a suitable boss option for vassal Europeans! IMHO stay with what you know, and that is the US....its still our kin! And it worked for decades...

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


Yeah.....that makes sense!

People probably expect to many birds killed at once with that special stone-operation...

Thanks for the interesting discussions, I have to bow out here for the day!*waves*

@Bobko

I tried to write out the many differences between the Ukraine war and the Maduro operation...

But how would you estimate my post with the analysis of longer term consequences for Russia and its war effort in Ukraine?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]

Interesting analysis:

I wonder if Trump and his advisors had really even more in mind than only removing a troublesome druglord and dictator....a real big show off to Moscow!


....is it! Well.....

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


Nah....Russia is there for territory gains....for getting land back/stealing land (depending on your viewpoint)....that is a whole different level of war goal!

Off-Topic / God and Religion Talk [459]


Definitely!

.....and looking for similiarities...differences in these experiences....for some rules, regularities...anything which might help us to get a grip on this.

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


Really???

Ukraine....invaded, destroyed land and infrastructure, killed civilians, women and children by Russia for 3 years now!

Venezuela....one US Delta Unit = removed leader from his fortress in Caracas in 3 hours!

!!!!

All good questions....and showing how deeply we are shaped by our historical religious teachings....but the answers might very well be very different!

I personally don't think there is only one allmighty entity, nor something like eternal heaven or hell....but for us humans it was a working explanation...and worshipping/fearing something we don't understand was somewhat logical for millennia...thats all!

Just "alien" and "other dimensions" might be another, more modern ways of explanation....but both stand for something otherwordly that made itself known to humans since our beginning, and seemingly is a fact to accept (and to study).

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


How could I.....

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


A master....this tiny country a master of the mighty USofA...and you call ME confused? ;)


Na ja....Germany at least profits mightily....not only with getting modern weapons but especially through secret informations. Several planned massacres had been stopped, avoided in time only because the Mossad helped, with that they saved lotsa german lives (the BND is truly useless)....

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]



Nonsense, huh?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


Usually I would agree with you....but there are those cases....those handful of leaders....sometimes only one....having a whole country under their thumb, using and abusing its people....

Cutting them off from their power, maybe even ending them, can mean peace! Without war and masses of death and destruction...it's worth a shot, I say!


Verdammt!

*throws prepared speech into the bin*

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


Ending a cruel dictatorship is definitely a peaceful move....at least in my eyes!

Or any other revolution or freedom fight would be equally bad because of "disrupting" the graveyard peace...you know what I mean....

Has anyone any news about it?

Why? Till now he did more for Peace than any Sesselfurzer elsewhere....Gaza...israeli hostages....free Venezuela (if it works out that way)....maybe even the Mullahs in Teheran?

We need a european Trump! :)

...at least in all economical matters! The left is generally economically hopeless....the moment all money has been "taken from the rich" and has run out any economy goes tanking and the country and its people impoverish....that pattern has been by now proven countless times!


...and that is not their job...making room for the opposition (maybe under Machado) being able to take back their country is a most important first step...but only a first step, the rest should be up to the V-people!


I would like to know what Putin truly thought as this Delta-Unit so flawlessly and fast just removed some enemy leader from office, heh:)


...only sanctions and some kind of isolation, I think....

Off-Topic / God and Religion Talk [459]


Agreed, as these are totally human tries for explanations! Nothing more, nothing less...

The real thing will be most probably not even understandable with our small brains we got with these bodies...

Imagine being a little fish in some aquarium in some room....even if the fishies in that aquarium looking out to the other side of the glass will somehow get that there is something else outside, will they ever comprehend that their little aquarium-world is confined to that room? That there are so many other rooms outside, apartements, skyscraper, cities, countries populated with even more strange beings?
No...they won't....they are not made for that to comprehend!

....doesn't mean the whole other world outside doesn't exist!

And we are only fishis looking out of our world, trying to make sense of the happenings outside of our aquarium, Novi....to declare our world is the only one ever and always is not smart! :)

...you know....there is something called "self fulfilling prophecy"....so better not!

*ducks and runs*

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


....but you asked for something to change, didn't you? 🤓

And I'm totally on your side, you know that...Gerpolia and all that.....Germany needs to open itself more up to Poland, and Poland needs to stop expecting only the worst from Germany and searching for every true or just percieved slight from Berlin...the rest will develop in time!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


...are they? Or not a reason for it?

With such continous "bitching" (sorry but thats what it is) Poland doesn't make themselves any friends....and sometimes you just need friends! Or at least neighbours you are in good standing with, who are sympathetic to your plight, and not only roll their eyes: "Not these Poles again!"

Tough hard talking, I know....but is it so hard to understand?

But yes....we need better, more skilled politicians in Berlin....and Poles should start to look over these annoying small things and keep the real big and important thing in mind, that we need both of us together, on the same side, to guarantee our common security!

(That doesn't mean a polish official can't kick a german official's arse when he thinks some mistreatment happened, but he should do it quietly, from behind, not always riling up the whole people again and making a state affair out of it!)

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]

Seriously Torqi?

Is there some polish institution watching with magnifyer glasses for any and every true or possible felt wrong treatment aka humiliation? Is there a list?🙄

That way, nothing will ever happen....

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [339]


I just googled that.....Scholz was a dumb, and his gov got kicked out prematurely for many good reasons....can we go over that now please?

Or will that become a thing like some outstanding reparations?

Because....then....there will be no changes for the better for our future at all and everything will go the same dreaded way as always in hour history!
