John Bolton ADMITS that by European leaders failing to support the U.S. in Iran — especially those who said “this is not our war” — it INVITES President Trump to say:
“Ukraine is not our war.”
BOLTON: “I will say I think the Europeans make a mistake by responding to that kind of juvenile behavior with juvenile behavior of their own.”
“A number of European leaders, including Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s chief foreign policy official, have said expressly, ‘Iran is not our war.’”
“That’s a very dangerous way to put it because it invites Donald Trump — it almost teases him — to come back and say, well okay, Iran is not your war, Ukraine is not our war.”

I have been monitoring the Venezuela issue all day long, and there are so many questions yet to be answered (thanks to great Pentagon OPSEC), but the strategic reason for bringing down Maduro has become abundantly clear.
While we ostensibly captured Maduro based on legitimate, outstanding US drug charges from 2020, the real reason for the military operations early this morning is that neutralizing Maduro's Venezuela had become a strategic imperative for the USA.
Under Maduro, Venezuela had become the Latin American crossroads for all of the USA's principal enemies. Maduro was nurturing relationships with Russia, Hezbollah and Iran. Worst of all, Venezuela was eagerly becoming a part of Red China's Belt & Road initiative.
As America's enemies were lining up Venezuela as their base of operations in the Western Hemisphere to cause mischief and destruction for the USA, Maduro was at the same time making Venezuela a crossroads, safe haven and enabler for all manner of narcoterrorist operations, ranging from Colombia's FARC to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel.
On top of all that, Venezuela had become a key player in the illegal alien invasion of the USA, shipping its very worst to the USA in a deliberate and comprehensive destabilizing operation that might have worked had Donald Trump not won in 2024.
Next in importance: oil. The global and regional ambitions of both China and Russia are in large part dependent on the politics of petroleum, and the USA just deprived both of the cudgel afforded by friendly Venezuelan oil. Trump opponents say "It's about oil" as if that was a bad thing. Yeah, it's about oil.
Finally, all of this was in keeping with the most essential and fundamental foreign policy mandate of the USA almost since the nation's inception: the Monroe Doctrine. Operations like what Maduro was running simply cannot be allowed in the Western Hemisphere. Trump was right for falling back on this most basic of doctrines that protects the USA's sovereignty.
So was Maduro seized because of some five year-old drug charges? Yes. Legally--yes. However, like so many strategic issues in the world today, an action needed to be backed by the fine points of law, and it was. But the reality is that the Maduro takedown was a Monroe Doctrine-driven necessity that has greatly enhanced the power and national security of the USA.
Congratulations, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth and the rest of the Trump national security team: you boldly took the steps necessary to defend the USA.
Well done.

@DavidGHFrost Everyone should read this thread @Raddish27 @Radacelli It might be easy to say oh well this is coming everywhere, but when people in non digital ID countries see the death of freedom they will actively resist. Britain is sleep-walking into it.

Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me - I’m just a silly girl.
Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war.
It only took you 5 months to break almost every promise you made.

President Trump responds to @AOC’s call for impeachment. Manages to throw in everything from her test scores, auto pen, cognitive tests, Chuck Schumer. Too many topics to count.
