Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


It would be a "helping hand", the rest is for the iranian people to achieve....everything more would need a bloody invasion, with uncounted victims and destruction.

The alternative would be, as always, doing absolutely nothing....only giving highly moralic declarations of some peace and human rights who nobody ever reads or cares for as the dictators keep on murdering and opressing whole peoples!


....and since you are seemingly unable to discuss without resorting to insults I'm bowing out here!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]

....who knows, it might come to that, heh:)

But my bet lays with the old EU....the "wind of change" is also blowing through Brussels, And with nearly every election in the member countries those forces who acknowledge the need and will for reforms grow stronger....its just that it needs time...oh so much time...


Really! That is your proof that he is worse than Putin and Xi?

Well...here we have to disagree! Better a poltering loudmouth than a smiling snake....

@Paulina

Now a question of mine....if tomorrow Trump would start another Delta-Unit-Operation to remove successully and without much bloodshed the leading Mullah(s) from power in Teheran, hence supporting the rising iranian opposition, already protesting for freedom on the streets....helping them to get their country and their democracy back....what would be your thoughts in that case?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


My personal opinion: Trump is an undiplomatic loudmouth, who often just speaks out what thoughts at the second flouts through his head.

But he important thing are his actions, can we please agree on that?

Putin or X for example are the complete different....both are fake smiler, especially good with cautious, long prepared lies....so, who is worse and truly more dangerous to the free world?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


Thing is...we would need a vote about this....and the outcome would need to be unanimous....so...I doubt that would happen, ever!

In conclusion the change has to come from the inside....there is no other way!

Or maybe an alternative would need to be started from the outside...a new organization, maybe our confederation, set up by a few countries only first? Gaining in rivalry to the old EU? Showing that it is better? I dunno...

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


Agreed, the EU has the potential to be one of the big global players, but for that to become it needs reforms!


Frankly I am not so sure they do that consciously....these big changes are coming fast, our reactions on the other hand are slow. But that error is build into our system...


I would like that very much!! :)

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


Agreed...a good point of view to build an opinion! Better than "maybe's" and "could be's" anyhow....


Na ja, then he won't have anything to fear in the upcoming trial...

Screaming loudly about human rights and international law the moment the true Baddie is removed from power, but having ignored his murdering and opressing all the years before, not caring for his victims at all, that is for me unhinged and just highly mendacious and despicable, sorry!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


Lets Trump first actually invade and start murdering greenlandian civilians with the goal to opress and impoverish them before declaring him a Baddie...then I'm with you, promised!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


....hmmm....lotsa wouldn't, couldn't, and maybe will do's in your post, Paulina.


There is a strong opposition in Venezuela, its leader Mrs. Machado, just got recently the famous Peace Nobel Prize. After the removal of Maduro she openly declared to want do share said prize to Trump, to convey her gratefulness!

euronews.com/2026/01/06/venezuelas-machado-says-she-wants-to-share-nobel-peace-prize-with-trump

Additionally it seems the actual sworn in gov leader in Caracas, Mrs. Delcy Rodriguez, is pragmatic enough to offer and agree to cooperation with the US...


france24.com/en/americas/20260106-delcy-rodriguez-profile-maduro-deputy-acting-president-venezuela

It looks like a truly peaceful return of Venezuela into the democratic world....but still without a druglord on top....without more oil for the russian war....and without another chinese foothold in Latin Amerca!


....and if it works as well?

Declaring Trump the baddie here makes only Moscow and Beijing happy, Paulina....you should keep that in mind!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


....and exactly how many countries did Trump already invade?


....and I'm fairly sure the Poles back then had wished someone else in the White House but Roosevelt would had fighted Moscow for them, not just accepted the russian claim....someone like...say Trump, yes? I know, the East Germans would had been grateful!


Thing is, who is the Baddie here?

Why no word from you about Cuba? Using his soldiers and intelligence to keep Maduro on top In Venezuela? Maduro couldn't seemingly trust his own people with his life, his bodyguard had been all Cubans!

Why no word about Maduro himself, the llegitimate dictator and opressor of the venezolan people who sells its oil tot he russian war machine to support their war in Ukraine?

Why no word about the Chinese who additionally supported the Maduro dictatorship with Billions to gain a foothold in Latin America, to add it to their future sphere of influence?

But Trump ending all that without much bloodshed, with no civilian victims, is the big Baddie here????

Please explain!

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


Back at you Paulina!

As if the partitioning of the World into spheres of influences is a Nazi thing!

Have you forgotten that the World since 1945 was nothing else, till the coming of a new time starting 1989?

And that age ends now also....its a again new time and I as a (East)-German don't want to end up at the wrong side of the new-to-be-build-wall again! Is that so hard to understand? Is that so Nazi???

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


How so?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


Its a new age, Anti!

And your impression is the same as mine,...the world gets partitioned again, with the global big players grappling to get the biggest and tastiest morsels to secure their future.

You can do it as the EU currently....looking on gaping and awing and shocked...not prepared for anything, still wishing the old world back and to wake up from that "bad dream" or you can accept the new reality and act like it.

Gorbatschow once said so nicely in East-Berlin 1989 looking at the old commie guard:
"He who comes too late is punished by life."

He was right then, and he is right now....Trump definitely doesn't want the US to be punished later because of his inactivity now!

Off-Topic / God and Religion Talk [450]


Yes....thats also my idea (in better words:)

Off-Topic / God and Religion Talk [450]


.....and here come the many read NDE experiences into play....it WILL be different. Surely, your inherited, teached beliefs will play a role at first, probably to smooth the transition, but in the end its all so much bigger than we can imagine, I'm fairly convinced of this....so many people can't be all liars, why should they!

Be open, Novi....a wild ride awaits us! :)

Off-Topic / God and Religion Talk [450]


....maybe.....giving my unwanted 2 Cents....he is abit like me!

The gist of many read NDE stories is that we leave our dead body with our personality still fully intact....we stay the same grumpy, sometimes mean people, posting here on PF, heh:)

But the inherited belief about a heaven full of endlessly happy people, holding hands and dancing Kumbaya around a tree, all day long....eternal...is not a real attractive future for me! Thats just not "me", who I am....I wouldn't want that, then better dead...if you get my meaning! :)

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]


Whataboutism, Bobko? ;)

But more interesting.....even CNN now poses the question what will happen with Cuba now, that the regular flow of billions of support money, Cuba depends on, will stop....

edition.cnn.com/2026/01/04/americas/cuba-uncertain-future-after-venezuela-strike

Might it lead to another regime change? Totally without some Delta units operation?

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]

I just read Maduro's bodyguards had been all Cubans, no V-people.....generally was Cuba seemingly propping him and his regime up!


nytimes.com/2026/01/05/world/americas/venezuela-cuba-us-strikes.html

....one could call that "occupation" if the regime is only kept in power with the help of a foreign army!

Now said regime leader was removed with the help of a foreign special unit....oh the irony....

Heh:) Thats a tough demand for a dictatorship, even in democracies "whistle blowing" usually only gains you a shitstorm...must be a human thing!

Super interesting:You get Venezuela - we get Ukraine (2022)


tagesspiegel.de/internationales/venezuela-fur-trump-ukraine-fur-putin-jetzt-bekommt-eine-aussage-aus-dem-jahr-2019-neue-brisanz-15103605.html


...imagine that would be the truth behind....what that could mean for Ukraine!

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [473]


Why not?

As long as any alternative can again voted out of power, whats undemocratic about it?

It was Maduro who faked the elections, it's Putin who throws differentminded people out of windows, when he not orders them poisoned....Trump was voted into office, two times, in official legal and acknowledged elections...see the difference?


Erm....we better end this here now, Bobko....we should return later with cooler heads!

*bows out*

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [473]

....thing is, I'm with all that still more team Trump!

You know my stance about the ME and my support for Israel in its war against Hamas and all the other mad islamist terrorist nutters. To call Netanjahu a war criminal comes out the same bin like calling Israels defense war a "genocide", its just leftist crap!

And no the US didn't need to declare Maduro illegitimate, he WAS official illegitimate, not many people are crying now in sympathy for him!


The Left would very much like that....but I would still prefer to live in the Team US than in anything the Left comes up with, sorry!

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [473]


....and he is right!

Right now Europe is a ripe plum (already slightly smelling) ready for the taking! Without the US we would be helpless against any enemy....


Frankly I have no idea about that whole thing....I gather it will end up in some military base there, that will be about it.

No european country fears an US invasion or a removal of its legitimate leaders....with Russia thats another thing!

PS: How late is it over at yours, Bobko...don't you need to sleep?:)

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [473]


Thing is, I believe the Obamas and Bidens wouldn't had given a **** about the people suffering in the GDR and had rather sought cordial relations with the illegitimate gov in East-Berlin...all for world peace of course!

It had been the from the Left much hated Reagans and Thatchers back then who truly fighted the Soviets and their grip on the eastern bloc and their commie vasalls!

It's no wonder that it took someone like Trump (equally hated by the Left) to actually do something about the abuses in Venezuela, where the rest of the oh so moral finger pointer never cared about the peoples suffering but now screaming loudly about some international law....my arse!

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [473]


...must be my history of growing up in the GDR!

For us youth at that time the US was everything good and free compared to the gray sad unfree drab we were living in...I dunno, that somehow stays with you.

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [473]

Some criteria:


....and I very much doubt people suffering under such leaders whould cry tears about their removal...just saying!

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [473]


Hmm....It probably would....if it were any other country than the US, and if the kidnapped would be somebody elected, upstanding, innocent citizen...leader or not!

And no, just "declaring" someone something just isn't enough.....it wouldn't work with Germany's Chancellor Merz for example, Russia could declare him a Nazi and trying to kidnap him because of it....but people are not that stupid and gullible!

But right now, nope....quite the contrary....I think it is so much better than invading! :)

News / Will Poland help defend Greenland against US Imperialism [473]


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*

Off-Topic / American Special Military Operation in Venezuela [311]

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:)
