    I think we’re used to the USA and its mass media not bothering to declare war, and simply starting war (bonus points for claiming the other side started the war once they counterattack, as is tradition)

    The USA has started a direct military conflict with Venezuela, the state.

    Totally unprovoked act of agression? Where can I see this phrase, I didnt find it yet in the mainstream. Well I hope ICJ will issue arrest warrant for Trump any day now.

    Trump creating allies across the planet, much the same way that Hitler also created allied forces.
    It took too far too long last time and that cost so many lives and economies. Europe is slowly stirring. South America could (should) see the imminent threats.

    let’s wait a minute: did trump provide images of this attack? did the venezuelan government confirmed it happened?

    so far it’s just trump boasting as usual.

    Some would say that when the USA is bombing the country, sinking its boats, killing its fishermen and stealing its oil tankers, war is already here.

        Same as it ever was.

        If the headline is trying to ask if Venezuela is going to be America’s next Vietnam or Iraq or even Afganistan, the answer is “no.”
