BULLETIN: TRUMP'S ILLEGAL WAR WITH VENEZUELA
Two months ago, in an interview, Trump's Chief of Staff Susie Wiles "conceded that attacking targets on Venezuela’s mainland would force Trump to get congressional approval. Quote: "If he were to authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.'"
She was entirely right. Yet overnight Trump invaded Venezuela and seized its leader Nicolas Maduro. To paraphrase his own chief of staff he DID authorize some activity on land, then it’s war, then [we’d need] Congress.'" AND TRUMP BROKE THE LAW AND BREACHED THE CONSTITUTION.
And this morning he and his hapless Vice President JD Vance confirmed this is as much about seizing oil - as much about increasing the profits of American corporations - as any supposed "narco-terrorism."
Without any Congressional consent, Trump did this - anyway - from inside his madness, from within his monomaniacal delusional fog - without any legal right to do so - without any legal right THERE and without any legal right HERE. On his own. Without congressional approval. Without the nation's approval. Without even the flimsiest of the fig leaves of democracy. Without any international consensus. Without any concern for the consequences. Without any consideration of the precedent he provides China in Taiwan and Russia in Poland and any other tyrannical bandit nation anywhere in this world.
And we, thanks to Trump, we - the United States of America - are now that tyrannical bandit nation.
It is important to note that on the simple, theoretical scale of who should remain as the leader of a failed rogue state, there is no defense for Nicolas Maduro. There is overwhelming evidence that he fabricated his latest quote “re-election” after first denuding the opposition and the law within his country. Again, by those tokens Trump has just put us on that identical path. And the idea that a country is suffering under a dictator who has no moral right to continue can be said even more easily of Putin. And of Xi in China. And dozens of others, many of whom Trump considers friends, about whom he makes no distinction. Maduro has no moral right to continue as president of Venezuela, and Trump has no moral right to act upon that by himself.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. This
is a Countdown Bulletin podcast. I'm Keith Olberman. The senior
Trump administration official quote conceded that attacking targets on Venezuela's
(00:25):
mainland would force Trump to get congressional approval. Quote. If
he were to authorize some activity on land then its war,
then we'd need Congress. That White House official was Susie Wiles,
dictator Trump's chief of staff. The interview was conducted by
(00:46):
Vanity Fair magazine two months and one day ago, and
she was entirely right. Trump needed a declaration of war.
Yet overnight, without that, Trump invaded Venezuela, seized its leader,
Nicholas Maduro, killed Venezuelans. To paraphrase his own chief of staff,
(01:07):
Trump did authorize some activity on land and its war,
and he'd need Congress. And Trump instead broke the law
and breached the Constitution of the United States. Trump did this, anyway,
from inside his madness, from within his monomaniacal delusional fog,
(01:29):
without any legal right to do so, without any legal
right there, and without any legal right here on his own,
without congressional approval, without the nation's approval, without even the
flimsiest of the fig leaves of democracy, without any international consensus,
without any concern for the international consequences, without any consideration
(01:52):
of the precedent. He immediately provides China in Taiwan, Russia
in Poland, and any other tyrannical bandit nation anywhere in
this world. And we, thanks to Trump, we the United
States of America, are now that tyrannical bandit nation. It
(02:14):
is so bad, it is so obvious, it is so
unconstitutional that even some Republicans woke up in the middle
of the night and noticed quote I look forward to
learning what, if anything, might constitutionally justify this action in
the absence of a declaration of war or authorization for
(02:36):
the use of military force. Rights Senator Mike Lee of Utah,
Of all people, and most importantly, perhaps thanks to Trump,
any other nation on this planet that invents an excuse
that looks like some kind of legal prosecution. Anybody who
can get its equivalent of a cliant department of Justice
(02:58):
and its equivalent of a comatose Congress, and its equivalent
of an authoritarian based political party to make up self
justifying laws and excuses. Any other country that can use
sophistry to create a serious sounding but meaningless phrase like
narco terrorist. Any country that can just stick a hyphen
(03:19):
and that word terrorist on it and declare any leader
in the world guilty of it, any leader, including Trump,
and take the piratical act he just completed there. They
can now try to repeat it here in this country.
Call Trump a fill in the blank, add an O,
(03:40):
add the word terrorist and vow to prosecute him. And
some other nation could have done what he just did
in Venezuela and could cite its move against Trump or
any other leader in the world, anyone you can consider Canada, Ukraine,
anything in South America, Australia, any leader in the world
(04:02):
is now vulnerable as long as whoever seizes him cites
the move in Venezuela by Trump. Thus, Trump has now
endangered every man, woman and child in this nation by
this insane and illegal personal war against Venezuela. Trump must
(04:22):
be impeached and removed from office immediately. And if the cowardly,
brazen anti democracy Republican Party again sits idly by raising
no alarm because it's Saturday and everybody except Mike Lee
has devoted their energies to rationalizing Trump's newest crime, and
(04:43):
we know that is exactly what they will do, at
least in the House, or more exactly exactly what they
will not do. If the Republican whorees keep houring today
and tomorrow and in the days and weeks to come.
The Democrats, seeking office this year and seeking the presidency
in twenty twenty nine, must now commit to turning Trump
and his henchmen Marco Rubio Pambondi, the hypocritical and now
(05:07):
worthless Susie Wiles over to the International Court of Justice
for prosecution as war criminals use the Maduro precedent, just
have the International Court drop by and pick them up,
send an armored uber. It is important to also note
(05:29):
that on the simple theoretical scale of who should remain
as the leader of a failed rogue state, there is
no defense for Nicholas Maduro. There is overwhelming evidence that
he fabricated his latest quote reelection after first denuding the
opposition and the laws within his own country. Again by
(05:51):
those tokens, Trump has just put us on that identical path.
We are on the way to becoming Venezuela, and the
idea that a country is suffering under a dictator who
has no moral right to continue can be said even
more easily of Putin than it can be said of Maduro,
and of she in China, and of dozens of others,
(06:13):
many of whom Trump considers friends or at least allies,
about whom he makes no distinction as to whether or
not they are justifiable in continuing in office. Maduro has
no moral right to continue as president of Venezuela, and
Trump has no moral right to act upon that by himself.
He does not own the United States of America. He
(06:36):
is not our owner. We are not slaves to Trump.
Congress is not made up of slaves to Trump. The
Senate is not made up of slaves. To Trump. Trump's
actions today were ethically and legally without the support of
the United States of America. If Trump has made us
(06:57):
a bandit state, he is the bandit. The New York
Times reached Trump by phone minutes after he announced his private,
illegal invasion of Venezuela on social media four thirty a
m Eastern. Per the newspaper, It's reporter Tyler Pager got
him after he says three rings. Trump then said that
(07:19):
it was quote a lot of good planning and a
lot of great, great troops and great people. It was
a brilliant operation. Actually no sense of right or wrong.
Mister Pager then asked about that tiny detail, right or wrong?
Did he seek congressional authority before ordering what Trump described
as quote a large scale strike. Trump's answer to the Times, quote,
(07:41):
we'll discuss that. We're going to have a news conference.
You're going to hear all about it, and then the
Times reports he hung up. He hung up after fifty
seconds of his usual self congratulatory, insane bullshit. Trump then
went on Fox early this morning. He called his critics
the ones who are demanding to know how in the
(08:02):
hell he thinks he can just piss on the constitution,
presumably ones like Senator Mike Lee, a Republican. He called them, quote,
these are weak, stupid people. Trump then promptly showed that
every Trumpian accusation is a confession. He still cannot process
that political asylum and mental asylums are different things. Today
(08:24):
this morning, of what he just did to Maduro in
Venezuela and what he just did to the US Constitution,
he said, quote, they emptied out, if you think about it,
they emptied out all of their mental institutions into our
country unquote weak and stupid. We have almost a monopoly
on it in the White House. The Fox News propagandist
(08:47):
prostitutes then let him preview his next potential impeachable offense,
quoting Trump again, the cartels are running Mexico. She's not
running Mexico. By she, he means President Shinbaum. Quote. We
could be politically correct and be nice and say, oh, yes,
she is. No, no, she's very frightened of the cartels.
They're running Mexico. And I've asked her number times, would
(09:10):
you like us to take out the cartels. Something is
going to have to be done with Mexico. If Trump
gets away with what he has done to Maduro in Venezuela,
he will now try to act on our own shores,
on our own border, against our own neighbors. But that
(09:33):
is ahead. We are still talking about what he did
last night, how he violated the Constitution and rendered himself
inappropriate to continue as president of the United States. The
premise of this brazenly illegal invasion is a twenty twenty
indictment of Maduro in New York on various drug trafficking charges.
(09:54):
This will be the structure by which Trump will almost
certainly follow up his private, unconstitutional war by attacking all
those who speak out against his unconstitutional action. The idea
that he did not involve Congress, and thus, by extension,
that he did not involve the people of this country,
and that he violated the constitution. All of that will
(10:14):
be swamped under a massive wave of propaganda, with the
seemingly but still phony structure of indictments and the Department
of Justice at its center. Overnight, that hapless kerr Pamela
Bondi wrote, quote, Nicholas Maduro and his wife, Celia Flores
have been indicted in the Southern District of New York.
(10:35):
Nicholas Maduro has been charged with narco terrorism, conspiracy, cocaine importation, conspiracy,
possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to
possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States.
That none of that makes sense in English is not
relevant to miss Bondi, who is a moron. Quote, they
(10:58):
will soon face the full wrath of American justice on
American soil, in American courts, on behalf of the US
DOJ blah blah blah. She then massaged Trump's ego before
spouting the nonsensical word salad that has marked all of
Trump's illegal actions against Venezuela, calling this latest one quote
(11:19):
incredible and highly successful mission to capture these two alleged
international narco traffickers. JD Vance has added another bovine bleat
to this unconstitutional act that Trump warned Maduro that the
drug trafficking must stop and the stolen oil must be
(11:40):
returned to the United States unquote. At least when this
government endangers the life of every American in an international
act of terrorism. It does not pretend that this is
not about more money for American corporations. There is comic relief.
The writer Michael A. Cohen, not the former Trump fixer,
(12:00):
writes that if Maduro is smart, he will quickly plead guilty.
Fast track is own sentencing than by a Trump drug pardon.
There is another question to raise in the days to come.
When the Democratic military veterans serving in the Senate and
House produced the video reminding those still on active service
(12:23):
that they were obliged by their oaths to not obey
illegal orders from Trump. Were these Democrats only talking about
his demands that soldiers act illegally within this country's borders,
or did Mark Kelly and Slatkin and the others see
this kind of piracy coming from Trump in Venezuela and
(12:43):
was reminding those service members that these orders might also
be illegal. Were these orders illegal without congressional authorization? Were
these orders in Venezuela overnight illegal? The structure of the
entire rationalization, the rationalization of the seizure of the leader
(13:05):
of another country, and the rationalization for violating the constitution
of this country. The structure of that is built around
the BONDI nonsense. We know he's guilty, We've indicted him,
So what a little invasion? So what America f Yeah,
based on that and the boldness of our simp Secretary
(13:26):
of State Marco Rubio, he rationalized this by retweeting himself
quote Maduro is not the president of Venezuela and his
regime is not the legitimate government. Maduro is the head
of the Cartel de los Soles, a narco terror organization
which has taken possession of a country, and he is
(13:47):
under indictment for pushing drugs into the United States. End quote.
Rubio had written that on his official State Department account
on July twenty seventh, of this year last year, correcting
he could not even be bothered to write something new
this morning. Curiously, when he retweeted that, he did not
(14:08):
send it out from its original State Department handle. He
retweeted it from his personal account. Presumably that ambiguity of
whether or not that statement his regime is not the
legitimate government, whether or not that's the official position of
the government of the United States is left unclear. That
may be useful to Marco Rubio if and when he
(14:29):
has to mount a criminal defense for what happened overnight. Ultimately,
Rubio's statement, official or personal, is the real point here.
Any gutless, soulless, lawless Republican president can start an undeclared
war and invade a country without authorization. Even George W.
Bush did it in Iraq, and it's not like that
(14:50):
destabilized Iraq and destabilize the United States and wound up
killing thousands of Americans. But it takes an especially corrupt,
morally bankrupt creature like Donald Trump to do something worse
on top of that, on top of repeating the key
on constitutional move of Bush in Iraq, Because if the
(15:12):
American government can pretend it is somehow authorized to enact
regime change at will anywhere in the world, simply by
indicting a creature like Maduro and having some officials say
he quote is not the president of his country and
his regime is not the legitimate government. Then a hypothetical
China or Russia or any other nation on this planet
(15:35):
could say the same thing about Trump and try to
extract him, and suddenly the world as we know it
would be gone, and chaos would be king. And apparently,
all this hypothetical other nation would have to do to
make itself legitimate in its own eyes would be to
(15:55):
insist that it is acting legitimately. All it would have
to do would be to have its version of Marco
Rubio make the declaration of illegitimacy and then retweet himself.
