To give Trump his due the gamble paid off big time. Rare spectacular win after so many TACOs. Monroe Doctrine 2.0 is off to a good start.

I think this mode of action is very suitable for the son of a corrupt criminal in the Philippines. As for Lai, he can only get missiles as a 'surprise'.
Even if beating such opponents does not bring honor, it can at least make them seriously evaluate the cost of fighting against us.
A big win for Trump, but not necessarily for the United States.
Probably enough to tilt the votes in Republican favor during midterms.
His last gamble with Soleimani worked too..... he can't keep getting away with this!
This just shows how the neocons were so stupid.
They had the power to kill Venezuela, kill Iran, kill Cuba, kill Hezbollah etc and other nuances since a long time ago. But because of various interests and games, they didn't want to finish them off.
Now that they have decided to take action, look how cleanly they are taking out their enemies? That's the foundation and power that a superpower has
And just wait, after Venezuela, Cuba's time is coming. I am certain of it
Or at least enough military presence just to protect their trading routes while avoiding direct confrontation with the US. It is simply not possible to protect one's trading routes if the closest military presence they have is thousands of kilometers away. Right now, China is the largest manufacturing powerhouse, but the US has the largest military presence worldwide. Logically speaking, the US can actually leverage this advantage and hold everyone hostage while taking its sweet ass time to re-industrialize and take over China's position. Hell! They can even just resort to holding the Americas hostage and ruin China's economy without the re-industrialization part. It would be just like sanctioning and blockading a weak state. What can China do to counter any of that? I mean we keep hearing the US is about to fall every now and then, but is that really just going to happen? Remains to be seen.
Americans will forget about this after a few months. People care about cost of living, H1B Indians, Epstein files, Israeli influence. Maduro is an irrelevant individual to most Americans.
What intel could China have provided? This was just a dozen helos and nothing out of the ordinary compared to the VTOL operations from flat tops in the last weeks and months.
Such juvenile commentary lol. I really struggle to fathom how simple hard power differences are that hard to grasp for people. Venezuela is a weak state with no allies. Taiwan is a more powerful one backed by the West & Japan, and doing so would mean war in the Taiwan strait, which China is not trying to trigger yet, it's that simple. And what would even be the point of that, is Lai the only separatist in Taiwan?
