Venezuela announced Tuesday that it was launching a massive military exercise across the country, reportedly involving some 200,000 forces, in response to the increasing presence of U.S. military assets in the region.
The announcement by Venezuela’s military came as the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford had entered the Southern Command’s area of responsibility — which includes the Caribbean.
It’s amazing how the US has single-handedly had its fair share being the stupid ass country to always be starting conflicts in other countries. Just look back at the history. Mexico, Philippines, Vietnam, Korea, Middle East, and now Venezuela? Seriously? Anybody want to connect the dots for me here?
I mean, it’s imperialism. They want other people’s shit, which sometimes requires the military to force other people to give them their shit.
Yes, the dots is freedom. We shot, dropped, and riddled those countries with freedom. We gave them so much freedom that we’re starting to run out of freedom here.
Once someone finds resources of value here, they’ll probably come pepper us with a boost of freedom.
“Freedom” being the euphemism for…
“Gimme dat”
