If Putin promised to offer only token support to Venezuela in the event of US invasion is Traitor Trump agreed to push their Ukraine "peace" plan.

The man is insane. And how much of his going to war on a country that did not attack us
and is no threat to us is from Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, and Sebastian Gorka’s warped
brains?

And how much cocaine has gone up Krasnov and Donny Jr’s nostrils?

Nationwide General Strike Time if he tries to start such an unneeded war to distract from
him being a child rapist and part of an international child sex trafficking ring?

BTW Trump’s election “win” was as real as his bullet wound that healed in under 2 weeks
and didn’t leave a scar or even a scab.

Putin claiming all the Ukraine people were Natzeeees to justify HIS mass murder? Monkey see, monkey do. Or Lunatic wanna be DickTator see Lunatic wanna be Dick Tator do.
Like the Ukraine peace plan, this American War Plan was written by Putin and Russia.

September 1, 1939. With that, he started World War II in Europe. He got away with annexing the Sudetenland and Austria. He figured he was unstoppable, and except for Britain, he was right. His fatal mistake was the same as Napoleon’s: there is no nation that can conquer Russia with a land invasion from the west. June 1941 was the beginning of his downfall. It just took him too much time to realize it.

We probably could invade, conquer and occupy Venezuela. But do we want to commit a quarter of our whole military and lose a dozen or two thousand dead in the process? Is it worth THAT to satisfy Trump’s ego? We don’t even need to steal their oil. We produce a surplus as it is. How much longer are the Republicans in Congress going to go along with taking his mad rantings seriously? The fact that the crime and immigrants threatening the collapse of Chicago, NYC, D.C., Denver, Portland, OR, and Los Angeles have all turned out to be as real as WMD wasn’t indication enough?

Putin stated that the invasion was to save Ukraine from Nazis and anti-semites.
