They knew before Congress.

To be fair, they needed to get their polymarket bets down first.
How about innocents in Venezuela? Do we have a count for how many of then died?
Let me take this opportunity to yet again say FUCK THE TROOPS. I have no sympathy for any of our service people. You have agency. You don’t actually have to do the awful shit that you are doing.
The corporate media is entirely captured by our entrenched oligarchy and we need to treat them accordingly.
Choice 1 be dirt poor or join the military
Choice 2 obey orders or get thrown in military jail
Welcome to the choice everyone makes. Not everyone decides murder of random civilians has a price.
So you think they should do murder to keep themselves out of jail?
Would you murder someone because you were threatened with jail if you didn't?
There are plenty of troops that just repair cars. Maybe those cars get used for murder, maybe they don't. It's a complex moral problem that is different for everyone at different levels.
By saying fuck the troops, you are falling into the trap the owners want. You are focusing on pawns rather than the kings they want to be.
Another Nazi headline. Proper 1:
NYT & WaPo protected Nazis invading Venezuela so that they could abduct a President in broad daylight without intervention.
I wish everyone involved in that "raid" a slow and painful death. "Endangering US troops" my ass those assholes deserve to be endangered.
Think about the us citizens currently in Venezuela...
Thought about them. What now?
Why just US citizens? Other lives don't count?
to avoid endangering US troops
This is a straight up lie. They held off to avoid blowing the lid on the US regime's undeniably illegal actions.
If they had reported on government malfesance as is their sacred duty, they might have stopped a crime before it happened.
They wouldn't have stopped anything. Everyone with the power to stop him is enabling him.
Alerting venezuela to the risk might have foiled the operation.
Galvanizing public opinion beforehand might have led them to rethink. Continuing against public opinion costs more political capital than selling it after it's already done. Authoritarian regimes can ignore public opinion more than representative ones, but they still can't ignore it entirely.
Maybe reporting the story wouldn't change the outcome, but it's a possibility.
The Western media hegemony working in lockstep with its handlers in the White House, regardless of their pretend positioning as for or against the current American regime.
They are complicit. Full stop. History will not be kind to these traitors.
Wait, the complicit billionaire propaganda organs did the bidding of a demented incompetent fascist regime? Whaaaaaaaaat
