I’m amazed at Trump engaging milltary to attack and arrest

Is he as danger as Obama & Sadamn Hussein?

This not impt . Important he is not Trump allies and they have oil and worse part they are close to US. Wanna deploy any military very fast and easy.

Just see US occupation of Syria and Afghanistan, long term doesnt work becos too far away from US to provide military support.

if USA use this strategy in Vietnam war, then they will still control Vietnam.

I think the commentators quite spot on. Saying with experience in middle east that doesnt end up well and costing US a lot on those military invasion, army stationed there for decades ..etc. It end up as a huge bill for US.

Plus US debts all time high, if get into a full invasion war, it will add onto their woes. So this time they are smart liao.

being a leader cannot please everyone and must be tough
cannot go easy on people

AI Overview



Vietnam's tunnel warfare, famously seen in the
Củ Chi tunnels, was an intricate underground network used by the Viet Cong to counter superior firepower, serving as living quarters, supply routes, hospitals, and command centers, featuring camouflaged entrances, zigzag designs for defense, and deadly booby traps, allowing them to live, fight, and launch surprise attacks from beneath the ground against American and South Vietnamese forces.
Purpose & Function:

• Concealment & Mobility: Tunnels provided hidden bases for troops, allowing them to appear and disappear quickly, frustrating enemy sweeps.
• Living Quarters: They housed kitchens, sleeping areas, communication hubs, and even schools, creating a subterranean society.
• Logistics & Supply: The networks functioned as essential supply routes, connecting guerrilla zones and facilitating movement.
• Hospitals & Factories: Underground infirmaries and workshops for weapons manufacturing were integrated into the system.

Design & Ingenuity:

• Complex Networks: Systems like Củ Chi spanned hundreds of kilometers, with multiple levels deep underground.
• Defensive Architecture: Zigzag passages and narrow tunnels (80cm-1m wide) were designed to slow enemies and dampen explosions.
• Camouflage: Entrances were ingeniously hidden under leaves, termite mounds, or within everyday structures like pig pens.
• Ventilation: Ingenious use of termite mounds provided fresh air, making it difficult for US troops to find and block air supplies.

Tactical Impact:

• Countering Technology: Tunnels neutralized American advantages in firepower and airpower, forcing troops into claustrophobic, dangerous close-quarters combat.
• "Tunnel Rats": Specialized US soldiers known as "Tunnel Rats" were trained to navigate and clear these deadly underground passages, often facing booby traps and intense fear.
• Guerrilla Warfare: They enabled hit-and-run attacks, prolonged the war, and inflicted significant psychological stress on enemy forces.

Historical Context:

• Origins: The tunnels originated in the 1940s during the First Indochina War against the French, with the Viet Cong expanding them significantly during the Vietnam War.
• Enduring Symbol: The Củ Chi tunnels remain a powerful symbol of Vietnamese resilience and ingenuity, now serving as a major historical site and tourist attraction.

He is like out of control at the moment.
And is US really doing well under him ?
He is using more force to suppress the residents.
I am not sure.

And yet many are quick to condemn what happen in Israel.

USA will suck dry Venezualan Oil and other resources without benefitting the Venezualans.

We know USA economic deficits are in the trillions.

They have a thriving miltary industry and they have thirst for oil. Both supply them with tonnes of dollars.

If either both start to decline, find a country either to create a conflict. They even willingly supply arms for 1 country to fight against another. It's that simplistic.

No need BS talk about drug wars, dictatorship, nuclear threats and those BS. All that are excuses for stupid people to believe.

They are acting like Mafia rather than a sovereign nation.

Some condemned, many subtley called for restraint. Just waiting for MFA to respond, probably tomorrow. See if SG call for restraint or condemned the action as in 1983 Granada invasion.

Do we have the guts to condemned US? What do you think?

Can USA just "take over" and "run" Venezuela?

GIs will love to do that. Look at the bevy of Venezuelan beauties. Should fu*k and dump be considered genocide because it dilutes the original stock?

Lawrence and Vivian still haven't open mouth, even opposition leader also haven't commented

Read their air defence was crippled .. hence the choppers and elite force can go in. Plus with a 50m bounty on him... many traitors by his side.

Dunno how true saw a tiktok this maybe the new way going forward for US as it cost much less than a war upon a country. A new way low cost way to take down or destabilise a country base on this new tactics .

What's wrong with Venezuela

 

[IAmChiobu12M]

Since when can a country invade another because they have a poor leader

Means all the people suffering in NK, US should be able to save right?

Means all the chao scammers at Myanmar should be able to settle once and for all right?

Why all these never help? So is really for oil and to fight China right and self interest?

Will China invade Taiwan soon seems like big countries can do what they want liao?

 

[orpisia]
