I believe what Trump’s doing to Venezuela now may have something to do with Putin ignoring his calls to end the war with Ukraine.  Trump might be like “If you’re gonna do what you want with my ally on your side of the world, then I’m gonna do what I want with your ally on my side of the world.”

This makes Venezuela a bargaining chip for negotiations.

Worst case scenario Ukraine becomes part of Russia and oil rich Venezuela becomes the 52nd US state, after Canada.

The US military:

vs Venezuela:

I don’t think that theory holds up. Venezuela isn’t some easy pressure point the U.S. can just “use” in a geopolitical chess match. The country is larger than Vietnam, extremely difficult to occupy, and perfectly suited for long-term guerrilla warfare. Any attempt to strong-arm it would turn into a massive drain with no real upside.

The U.S. already struggled to control far smaller and less resilient regions — Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan — and Venezuela would be even harder. Regional neighbors like Colombia would quietly support resistance, and anti-U.S. sentiment across Latin America would explode.

And beyond that, the American public has no appetite for another foreign conflict. We’re nearly $39 trillion in debt, people distrust the government more than ever, and nobody is willing to die in a war with Venezuela over some geopolitical flex.

If Trump is trying to use Venezuela as a bargaining chip against Russia, it’s a reckless and unrealistic strategy that would almost certainly devolve into a quagmire.

And while a U.S. attack could actually boost Maduro’s standing at home by rallying nationalist sentiment against foreign intervention, I’ll admit that this dynamic isn’t universal. Saddam didn’t gain popularity when the U.S. invaded Iraq. But the context is completely different: Iraq had been devastated by sanctions and previous wars, and many Iraqis already viewed Saddam as illegitimate. Venezuela, on the other hand, has a long history of resisting U.S. influence, and foreign aggression tends to unify Latin American populations — even those who dislike their leaders.

BREAKING: Tashella Dickerson, a BLM Oklahoma City Leader, was just INDICTED for wire fraud and money laundering.

BLMOKC reportedly raised more than $5.6 million in bail funds to free George Floyd rioters.

However, when bail funds were returned, Dickerson allegedly pocketed $3.15 MILLION in returned bail checks into her personal account.

She allegedly used this money to pay for luxury vacations, retail shopping, $50,000 in food, a vehicle, and SIX retail properties in Oklahoma City.

You just can't make this up.

Well yes, at that point the difference between theists and atheists becomes abstract. If not a personal being, who is to say your "creator" is not the sum of innate forces moving the universe, pretty much the same as what atheists believe without mystical angles

So why do "sophisticated" scientific apologists still peddle Christianity?

The answer is as always: cold hard dollars

Ain't nobody buying your books and following you if you aren't promising eternal life to the paupers. Sad but fact of life.

I’m not saying the Bible is a science textbook or that Genesis is meant to be read as literal gospel. But it is interesting that thousands of years ago, people described a creation sequence that broadly mirrors the scientific picture we now accept.

If you read each “day” as a stage, the alignment looks like this:

Day 1 – “Let there be light.”
The universe becomes filled with light (Big Bang → transparent cosmos).
A long era passes while galaxies, stars, and eventually the Sun form.

Day 2 – Separation of waters (oceans below / atmosphere above).
Early Earth cools, forms a dense atmosphere, and then oceans.

Day 3 – Land appears; vegetation begins.
Continents rise; early photosynthetic life develops long before animals.

Day 4 – Sun, Moon, and stars become visible.
They already existed, but Earth’s atmosphere only becomes clear later.

Day 5 – Sea life → flying creatures.
Life begins in the oceans; flying creatures evolve much later.

Day 6 – Land animals → humans.
Animals dominate the land first; humans arrive last.

Not proof of anything by itself, but the sequence is remarkably similar. It’s just one of those interesting places where ancient imagery and modern science line up better than most people think.

You come in proving Negrosis wrong with examples and he has to downplay your evidence and poopoo it in order to hold onto some liberal grudge he has against his future president (after we make canada #51)
