  • Mystery White House Announcement 9pm Tonight

    From c186282@c186282@nnada.net to talk.politics.misc,alt.politics,alt.politics.usa,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh,alt.defense on Wed Dec 17 20:48:00 2025

    The White House has set up a special announcement
    by Trump at 9pm. They have been silent as to the
    content.

    Trump looked/acted especially somber and stressed
    today when he attended a ceremony for repatriating
    the bodies of two National Guard soldiers killed
    in Syria (plus their interpreter).

    While the address COULD be about ObamaCare, it's
    more likely to be about attacks on Venezuelan
    assets, maybe Maduro himself. The USA has built
    up a HUGE force around Venezuela - and yesterday
    announced a naval blockade.

    An attack IS coming. This COULD be the official
    announcement.

    Maduro IS an asshole - and false president - but
    I'm not sure what he's worth in the scheme of things.

    Outright US occupation in Venezuela is NOT a good
    idea, these sorts of things always go wrong. Maybe
    the most useful thing would be a notable disruption
    in the Russian/Chinese/Iranian black-market oil
    trade.

    OK ... turned out to be an admin promo - touting
    achievements and a brighter future.

    A sort of "state of the union", just kinda early.

    The most AMAZING thing ... Trump not only stayed
    on-subject but only spoke for 18 minutes !!! :-)
