But wait, Trump told us his people were going to run the country!
@georgetakei Tweddle Dee and Tweedle Dumb.
Hasn't the US been coerced instead of governed?
@georgetakei As I understand it, the oil companies don't even want to go in to Venezuela. The oil fields are a wreck, and will take billions and over a decade to put back in production. Plus there's an oil glut and prices per barrel are too low for them to make money. Plus the Venezuelan government (which Trump failed to depose) doesn't want them there. It's all incredibly stupid.
@georgetakei The oil companies are going to run Venezuela.
@georgetakei He's taking advice from Putin. It's what Putin's done to Belarus, and used to do to Ukraine.
They have the stealing part done, the getaway un-noticed not so much, always about the grift/steal anyway, and I guess they don't really have a valid reputation to protect.
Notice the tie color, this is intentional (not just one).
@georgetakei Venezue;a ,aube jappy Maduro is out but they will not let other manage their nation. They elected a president, he need to return and the structure of government be fix. Same for the military. Long live cats.
@georgetakei Venezuela maybe be happy. Sorry about that.
@georgetakei They don't want to rebuild roads, schools ,or hospitals they just want the oil.
@georgetakei
Headline: Rubio says, "I'm the boss of you!"
@georgetakei "coerce" 🙄
Yeah, right.
@georgetakei it makes sense. This administration is good at coercion, but there's nobody working in this administration that's any good at running anything.
Trump puts the "I" in run (ruin).
I'm expecting to see the "Mission Accomplished" banner before too long.
@georgetakei the man probs can’t even tie his own shoes.
@georgetakei they tripnover themselves to take credit,then trip again trying to tell people they are hands off.trump has pissed away any credability the USA ever had.well done dozin' donnie!
@georgetakei Trump's people can't run their own country let alone Venezuela!
Frankly, it's somewhat comical to hear US Americans say they're going to run another country when they can't even competently run their own, despite over 200 years of trying.
They have no idea of what comes next, no matter the issue. They do a great job of tearing things down. But replacing? Not so much. Think healthcare. Think East Wing. Think gutting the US gov’t.
Now think Venezuela.
@georgetakei
Venezuela gets status quo and the US gets the oil and critical minerals for free. It’s called robbery in broad daylight.
@georgetakei
pirate country.
the USA is the asshile bully of the world.
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
