   He's not talking about buying it, he's talking about stealing it. He wants it   
   for its natural resources, which I'm guessing is why Denmark still wants it.   
      
   As for Venezuela, the United States has no right to do what they did. That   
   was the point of my post. This has no grounds to be a "just war." None.   
   Trump's claim that Venezuela was a huge importer of illegal drugs into the   
   United States (even claiming Maduro was the "head" of some organization) is   
   pure bullshit. It was a pretense to steal Venezuela's oil by installing a   
   compliant government. Almost every country in South America that tried to   
   break away from America's greedy corporate control has suffered a CIA   
   directed coup. Digusting. And the United States claims to promote   
   "democracy" over the world. What lying bullshit.   
      
   And if you want to talk about murderous tyrants, look at Trump. The recent   
   illegal Venezuelan "military action" killed at least 40 Venezuelans, but   
   he's targeted Iran's leaders also — even luring one in with the pretense of   
   peace negotiations, than murdering him as he arrived in Iraq.   
      
   Trump is a worthless, greedy, narcissistic son of a bitch and a Bibi   
   NutYahoo butt leach. I'm sick of this worthless piece of crap.   
      
   And, no, the Venezuelans did NOT unanimously celebrate Trump's theft of   
   their natural resources. As a matter of fact the new Venezuelan government   
   (including the opposition) demanded that Maduro be returned to Venezuela.   
   (These "communists" apparently believe in International Law, unlike Trump.)   
   I thought you were savvy enough to separate reality from the bullshit spewed   
   by the MSM.   
      
   BTW, I "read" that Denmark has figured out to get Trump to quit talking   
   about Greenland. They're going to rename it "Epstein's Island."
