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.

    What’s stopping China from invading Taiwan, now that America has shown the world once again that you can rob another country’s resources with impunity if you’re a nuclear superpower?

      This was the plan. Donald had been weirdly quiet about China in general and Taiwan in particular.

      He, Xi, and Putin have carved the world up into spheres.

        That’s right. Trump gets the Western Hemisphere, Putin Gets Europe and West Asia, and China get the rest of Asia. Africa will be exploited by EVERYBODY.

      It’s what I say and will always say until the United States fully reform: Trump is merely showing what America truly is which many people pretend not to be.

        That’s “American Yankistani exceptionalism”

        Some unhinged people attack US:

        Their nationality, ethnicity, and religion are now all considered terrorists

        US attacks some country unprovoked:

        The great liberator that can do no wrong.

      Nothing was ever stopping this since the US election - they’ve been pretty open about it happening in the next three years in the appropriate weather season.

      Two US carrier groups might have attempted to stop it, but the intellectual honesty and consistency of the US president was never a barrier.
