There is plenty of talk in MIGA/MAGA circles that say, in effect, that Venezuelans have now been liberated, there will be no occupation, and other related assumptions / coping mechanisms which they are using to preserve the facade of Trump being anti-war.
- zppln 10mo agoMIGA?
- mikkupikku 10mo ago[flagged]
- metadope 10mo agoMy favorite computer was a MIGA
- febusravenga 10mo agoMake India Great Again, something coined early 2025 around Modi's visit in US. According to brief we search.
- archy_ 10mo agoI've also seen it stand for Make Israel Great Again, given the unwavering support for Netanyahu and his agenda from the administration
- edgineer 10mo agoI see Google's AI and top results all give this answer, but "MIGA" most certainly does not refer to India in this or most contexts, but to Israel. It is a criticism of Trump's pro-Israel actions, and presumably Google recognizes its anti-semitic usage and so will not suggest that as an answer unprompted. I'm pointing this out specifically because I'm surprised to see that Google and also DuckDuckGo both suppress the true definition if you don't already know it.
- pqtyw 10mo agoReagan something very similar twice and it worked out reasonably(ish) fine. Of course Venesuela isn't that similar to Panama or Granada in various ways. Given the massive amounts of internal issues, and insanely high levels of crime/murder removing the government and washing your hands might turn it into something like Haiti... Fundamentally on the moral level removing oppressive tyrants like Sadam, Maduro, Gaddafi etc. is the right thing to do. Of course nobody ever figured out how to prevent the situation from getting even worse in the aftermath..
- mikkupikku 10mo agoI do concede that it is possible the situation will deescalate from here on out, but there is no possible way to be sure of that. Right now the situation is very volatile and could very easily spiral into a huge mess. MAGA people don't want to acknowledge that possibility, because they want to believe Trump is honest and competent.
- knicholes 10mo ago"MAGA people," yeesh.
- mikkupikku 10mo agoSorry, I meant "People of a MAGA Persuasion." People first terminology, right?
- knicholes 10mo agoI think you would be best served prioritizing other areas of study over geopolitical conflicts; one that teaches you to respect people, even if their beliefs differ from your own.
- mikkupikku 10mo agoLol, you're crying about "MAGA people"
