Trump Brutally Owns Nicolás Maduro and the Libs
Kurt Schlichter
The Trump 2.0 Administration has provided patriotic Americans with many delights, but there are few more delightful than going to bed and waking up to find communist dictator Nicolás Maduro had been plucked out of his bed by killmaxxing American Army guys; it’s kind of like when we woke up and realized that the Iranian mullahs and their nuke program were as neutered as a Bulwark staffer. You’ve got to hand it to Donald Trump. This is a guy who doesn’t play footsie with happy talk illusions about universal brotherhood, hugging, and the idea that people who hate you are just friends you haven’t yet sufficiently groveled to. When you’re his enemy, he plays to win. He doesn’t drag it out endlessly, not quite losing until, finally, he does, and our people must flee the country while locals drop off the last C-17 out. When Donald Trump and his supporters talk about hating forever wars, you need to understand that the part of “forever wars” they hate is the “forever” part. They like kicking foreigner tail. They just don’t want to lose, and they don’t want to take forever doing it.
This was a glorious American victory over a communist dictator, so it naturally elicited the usual whining and crying from Democrats, libertarians, and the rest of the eunuch caucus. Oh no, Donald Trump’s not obeying international law! Of course, “international law” is a fantasy for fools, children, in the globalist foreign policy establishment. There’s one thing that regulates international relations – raw power – and when the D-boys showed up in Caracas, they were enforcing its Rule 5.56mm. As pundit Varad Mehta aptly observed on X, all the self-appointed best and brightest commenters commenting on American foreign policy “should read the Melian dialogue sometime.”
TLDR: “International law” is whatever America does because we’re bigger and can kick your butt.
There were 10 great things about this attack on the Maduro regime, as I initially pointed out on X that morning. Let’s count them down, shall we?
