You may want to review harassment laws in all 50 states. What Tim was doing falls into the definition.
Let it be known that urherenow thinks saying mean things about him on a gaming forum is harassment and you should be sued for it. Good lord. And you call US the snowflakes. Your argument falls apart the moment you realize the block button exists.

You think you proved me wrong? LoL. Been married 26 years tomorrow, thanks. Japanese wife. Neither that, nor my Navy affiliation has ever been kept secret here. And you found exactly zero of my accounts around the 'net, but nice try. If you had, you wouldn't even mention being alone, considering my avatar in various places is me with my wife.

Be sure to let me know when there is news of us actually taking oil from them (blocking the export doesn't count, we aren't taking it). You probably say/said the same about Iraq. We didn't take it from there either (yes, I know a couple of companies got contracts, but they aren't taking it).

ABC had to pay $15million to his campaign and $1Million to his lawyers for that shit. Every one of you also call him a pedophile. Still zero proof. How are the Clinton files coming along?

Nobody has ever been charged with a felony for downloading roms. Those are civil cases. Felonies are people who distribute them via rom sites or whatever. Nice try though.

Lol... billions of dollars. Been retired for years now. Still deploy as a contractor. Good luck "finding my recruiter".
This is probably all lies

My block button doesn't stop the rest of the forum from seeing him post things, saying they are mine.

This is just poor damage control, fooling no one. You're really gonna pedal backwards claiming those posts are now NOT made by you, just someone else who happened to pick the same online handle and also gives off the same vibe as you?

It's like he wants you removed so he can keep spewing shit here without you demonstrating how much of a piece of shit he is. His complaint about people seeing your posts about him already is pathetic because from what I see, this conflict only appears in this small section of the website, where the people who see this either already knows he's a piece of shit, or are on his side to cause shit.

So you've been thirstily simping on girls photos for years and still married? Sucks to be your wife! Funny how when I mentioned the simping account, it suddenly started to more private. I guess the real culprit must have also been on this site with the exact username. Seriously really low-level stupidity there, chief. Glad I could help teach someone the bare minimum of internet safety.

They literally recently seized an oil taker, and are saying that they're going to keep the oil.

But that still wasn't the point I originally made. I said that no matter what you believe the packages in the boats which were bombed were, the US is still illegally bombed them. It could be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be drugs, and still they can't just bomb them.

Yea, because my handle is just so unique... idiot. No, that bottom one is not me either. I don't have a tumbler account. But thanks for caring enough to scrounge around the net looking for me, ya creepy ass stalker.

I didn't???

Maybe you shouldn't call people idiots when you even keep that straight. And again, you fell for that Photoshop. You're in no position to criticize the intelligence of others given your history and meltdowns here. Not to mention you've demonstrated to be a serial liar.

Even funnier, one of those found posts was on a MAME forum and your own screenshot has a bunch of MAME related bookmarks. You can't make this up 🤣🤣🤣
 
The US is going after Venezuela for pretty much for all those reasons in the poll, lol. Well, except for Maduro being popular, popular people don't have to rig elections.

Liar about what, exactly?
 
That article is doing the same thing that the white house has been doing. It defends the killings, but doesn't prove in any way that they're lawful. Their main assertion is that these boats constitute an armed attack, which they plainly aren't. They're relying on gross reinterpretations, and failing miserably at it.

Under settled international law, it's still VERY illegal, no matter how they want to defend their extrajudicial killings. I think they're up to 29 now, and as mentioned, some people were salvaged from the wreckage and then LET GO because they were fishermen! You have no leg to stand on.

Wrong again. They were drug traffickers. At least Columbia had the balls to come out and say it.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/10/18/... the two,President Donald Trump said Saturday.

And I'm not sure what leg I'm supposed to have to stand on. I'm not a part of those strikes in any way. Sure as hell not mourning them though.

You're right. That was Tim, and I owe you an apology. And I may have omitted the words "social media" in my post. I do own the Mame account, but I don't consider that social media, any more than I think gbatemp is. These are just simple gaming (or are supposed to be) forums.

And yet, when going with the actual statement rather than picking out a word, Benedetti mentioned him "allegedly" a criminal, not one straight out.

https://english.elpais.com/internat...ps-strike-against-alleged-drug-submarine.html

Pérez was deported to Colombia with “brain trauma, sedated, drugged, and on a ventilator,” according to Interior Minister Armando Benedetti, who also stated that Pérez will be “prosecuted according to the law, because he is allegedly a criminal who was trafficking drugs.” However, the Colombian justice system’s ability to act in his case is limited: there is no evidence that he committed a crime in the country.

Even in your own link regarding an earlier strike, the Columbian President claimed that the US government officials have committed a murder and violated their sovereignty in territorial waters, that the fisherman had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. That their boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.

It is a win win situation for the Orange Pedo in the white house and his allies / minions.

If they go to war with Venezuela (that is the dream for this administration imho), Trump and Companies can invoque some "war powers" and seize control of the USA for good.
Sure they will meet some resistance but let just be pragmatic here, so far they have done a lot of bad things no other administration did in the short lived years of you country, and always got away with it. So yes i believe this is the end game of those in power.
Plus Trump can gloat that hes fighting for Venezuelans freedom against Maduro's corrupt regime (lol the hypocrisy will be just the cherry on top).

If the piece of sh*t Maduro does not take the bait (and i hope he doesn't), its also a win for Trump since they will just seize the Oil and the ships and probably find a way to get even richer in the process.

Either way it will serve the Pedo Master in distracting for hes past and current actions.
"Short lived years of your country"

As far as sovereign modern nation states with continuity of government - the US is among the very oldest

Guess evidence is hard to come by WHEN IT'S BLOWN TO KINGDOM COME!!!!

As I said, they could have a giant neon sign that says "DRUGS", and it would STILL be illegal to bomb them like that. They needed to be boarded, inspected, and then prosecuted. All you're cheering on is vigilantism without due process. Normally, that shouldn't be something that needs to be explained on why it's bad, but here we are. If those two WERE drug smugglers, the moronic bombings removed all evidence that could have been found if they did things by the books.

This is the funniest shit imaginable. Imagine spending weeks chasing down a sanctioned oil tanker, possibly even with justifiable concerns about it being used to supply terrorist organisations in Iran, and then

The situation became more complicated after a crudely painted Russian flag appeared on the hull of the Bella 1.

And that's it. Go home. America wouldn't want to upset its allies, after all.

All Venezuala needs to do to get their oil tankers through is quickly paint a Russian flag on the side to scare America off. There's an incredibly narrow path to walk here for anyone who wants to paint this as a good thing, best of luck.

Pretty crazy that sloppily putting a flag on a ship could cause so much confusion. This would just cause the US to back off to confirm the claim, but once that's done, it's back to stealing the oil. If it's a lie, then it could hurt any future ships that fly the Russian flag (Or any flag at that).
