After the U.S. bombed Venezuela in the middle of the night and abducted its president, Nicolas Maduro, President Donald Trump warned that more attacks could be on the way in the region.

Trump hinted at a future conflict with Mexico in particular in an interview with Fox News Saturday morning.

      Remember when the government was shut down and some billionaire friend of Trump stepped in and paid the military? Your generals are not gonna revolt, they’re already paid off.

          Ahh yes. Our military is known for having the fragile ego of a teen girl.

          Hegseth said they were fat so surely now they won’t listen.

            Not about fragile ego, just bootlicking, now turned boot-throating.

            Ego is when you have self-respect.

      Why do you expect the military leaders of the most utterly reprehensible empire of our times, which has killed millions, displaced tens of millions and condemned hundreds of millions to poverty within living memory, to have a conscience? These people are gangsers for capitalism, and capitalism has spoken; the law is secondary.

      They like money and power as much as the next fascist politicians.

      Let’s not pretend like the US armed forces aren’t full of right wing militants just waiting for their moment to kill.
