The New York Times has reported that at least 40 people, including civilians and soldiers, were killed in Saturday’s US attack on Venezuela. The estimate comes from a senior Venezuelan official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The victims reportedly include a woman called Rosa González, who was killed when her three-story apartment complex was hit by a strike. Another resident was reportedly severely injured.

Two other sources told Reuters the intelligence agency also had an asset close to Maduro who would monitor his movements and was poised to pinpoint his exact location as the operation unfolded.

To me, that’s further proof that Trump’s is a lawless, fascist regime.

It was an illegal invasion of a sovereign nation predicated on the lie that Venezuela is responsible for Fentanyl deaths in the US.

And that Maduro might be considered a dictator doesn’t justify an illegal invasion of a sovereign nation.

I don't think the illegality will be of any consequence to Trump, unfortunately.

I take it as a given that Trump will get away with all of the fuckery he does so I only focus on political environment.

But early in the day I heard several were killed at the blast sites.

believed killed. That was one of first items I read last night, just crossed my mind now.

Shooting ordinance as n videos looked to have likely killed and wounded.

and a country to be named later.

They are toast.
