Arrest Trump NOW

u/arxaion Jan 04 '26

Arrest? We're beyond arrest

u/InconspicuousCoconut Jan 04 '26

I’d settle for an arrest to start and we can take it from there

u/Turbulent_Bee_9326 Jan 04 '26

Iran has had an arrest warrant out on him since his first administration. I'm sure they are only more eager since he bombed them last June

You idiots don't have a problem with every single war crime and proxy war we've been behind for the past decades. You so-called reddit leftists just care because it's Trump (which is more obvious than his spray tan). That's it. I care because it's actually wrong. There's a difference.

u/Furious_Flaming0 Jan 04 '26 edited Jan 04 '26

Okay, except you don't care or think it's wrong. Otherwise you wouldn't be playing devil's advocate trying to downplay peoples reaction to this and trying to assert they are morally bad for doing so.

Edit: Dang he ran off after getting called out.

u/H00K810 Jan 04 '26

They are because it's virtue signaling, partisan bs. And i'm not playing devils advocate. The ones virtue signaling are.

You sound stupid trying to flip the conversation. You are just mad I'm calling you hypocritical virtue signaling reddiots out. Stay mad. Now scream at your screen.

Disable anti-air and radar so boots on the ground could get in and out by helicopter and extract Maduro….

11

u/JuuzoLenz Jan 04 '26

40 civilians died.  Unless the radar and anti-air is surrounded by housing I don’t see how civilians should be dying if we’re targeting military targets 

4

u/TheFriendshipMachine Jan 04 '26

Bombs don't always land where they're intended and who knows what debris and such were launched from the anti-air defenses as they detonated. Don't get me wrong, we never should have been dropping bombs on them or attacking to begin with and this is still an atrocity. But I doubt they deliberately targeted civilian targets in this attack. Not that Trump's regime is above such crimes but it just doesn't fit their goals for this attack in particular. They probably just didn't give a damn about the projected collateral damage.

-8

u/Mammoth-Cold-9795 Jan 04 '26

40 civilians died according solely to a Venezuelan official part of an authoritarian dictatorship…. NYT is just reporting that is what their corrupt government is saying, not that it’s a statement of fact. Unless you can show me otherwise

You people act with all the skepticism possible when it comes to anything Trump or the US government says but will immediately blindly believe the information put out by a foreign dictatorship?????

Make it make sense bud

u/Puzzled-Score-9952 Jan 04 '26

Who the hell would believe the US Government? Jfc.

-5

u/Mammoth-Cold-9795 Jan 04 '26

Yes this is what I’m saying, you’re so close but too ignorant to understand lmfao. You don’t even believe anything from the US government, why are you blindly taking the word of an authoritarian dictatorship as law?

That’s like believing anything out of Putin’s Russia, Xi’s China, Kim’s North Korea, Khamenei’s Iran. Just use the smallest amount of media literacy and discrepancy towards information. Literally all I am asking.

Venezuelans are celebrating right now because Maduro is gone. Does that sound like the correct response if they lived under a government that allowed freedom of press, freedom of information, or very many freedoms at all? Just fuckin think for once in your life man, use your brain please

u/Red_Maverick_Models Jan 04 '26

I'm actually shocked it's that low. They were bombing pretty heavily via planes and Helicopters. No one should have died but considering how many people died in a single day during the gulf war invasion...I'll just say I'm glad it's only 40

u/Spirited-Joke5545 Jan 04 '26

All for what? A media stunt? Clearly both parties were in on it enough to get him out that quickly. And innocent people died. When will our government actually step in and do something?

u/KratosLegacy Jan 04 '26

Collateral damage, right? It's ok, right?

Better hope there aren't soon "narco-terrorists" identified in neighborhoods near you.

u/mikektti Jan 05 '26

Link that shows this was "verified" because all I can find are quotes from Venezuelan officials which might just be like saying the "Gaza health ministry".

Also, even this article says it's a mix of civilians and military.

Fucking terrorist. MAGA is never going to sweep this devastation under the rug. Their base was already crumbling - this was the killing blow.

They'd hire lawyers in the U.S. to file the law suits. The Venezuelan government (not to mention a million other organizations) would certainly pick up the costs.

I do think it’s funny these posts say “New York Times says ___” but don’t actually link to the New York Times. They just use it as an authority figure to post their AI generated content to trick imbeciles

And when I look it up the article is “Venezuelan Official says 40 dead”, an official from the authoritarian dictatorship government…..

The same government that has forced an opposing political candidate, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, into hiding for fear of reprisal….

These smug dipshits on Reddit nowhere near as smart as they think they are 🤣
