Thank you for this update - wars are as easy as falling off a log to get into, not so easy to manage.
Trump’s shifting attack rationale exposes the flimsiness of his trade war with Canada over a minuscule amount of drugs as he arrests ONE S. American drug lord but pardons another — the main difference is their usefulness to himself & their ‘tithing’ - it was never about the drugs. 💰
If the ‘John Robert’s conservative *SCOTUS’ doesn’t clip his wings on this count (phoney tariff war rationale) then the world really does become Donald’s oyster!
💠‘Hegemony’ should become some dictionary’s Word of the Year, because Trump has made it all about dominance & carving up the world’s spheres of influence, and he has decided ‘the Americas’ are his … the Devil’s henchmen can take the rest!
Will MAGA lap this up and claim this military victory as ‘his’?
Or will they see the dangers, like most of the rest of the world does?
— and let’s see where the Epstein files & Trump’s other political & moral failures land in 2026.
Since when has Trump's Cabal of Jackals become capable of managing everything, throughout the America's? What they have is ideas and theories, pulled out of hair brained imaginations! Hegseth is wrecking the defense structure of the US Military and reshaping it be a servant of this crazy Cabinet. Now suddenly the Generals finding themselves assisting Oil Company tycoons set on resetting the World oil supply chains. Major wars have started over lesser things. What will the Navy do when China, N Korea and Russia decide to hijack US flagged tankers on the high seas. How many Task Forces do we have to serve the oil companies? OR WILL THESE BRILLIANT sycophants just build a pipeline from Venezualia to Houston?
These dumb asses forget that the Drug underground is capable of conducting deadly raids and killing people ISIS style.
Yes, the blowback can take many forms, guerrilla fighting etc. has been the U.S. downfall before. While they (Trump admin) are *not capable/serious people they nonetheless have the largest military clout in the world & are not averse to causing ‘other’ people/ countries pain … * they also seem not to care much about their own.
— So a country’s economy /citizens can virtually be held for ransom with Trump’s ‘gunboat diplomacy’.
— then the country under attack’s greatest weapon is to equally ‘not care’ about its citizens, while they play the long game. What a wonderful world, this Trumplandia, eh? 🙄
As trump has the attention span of a nanosecond he will loose interest in what happens in the country.its all about the oil the people be dammed.find it of interest that he pardoned the head of Honduras for the same charges because the Biden administration didn’t treat him fairly but kidnapping is a celebration when he does it.his looking for a strong leader is just another way of saying only ultra right wing Christian nationalist need apply
There was a legitimate winner in Venezuela's election, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia. He should be handed the reins and trump should bow out. Anyone who thinks this was done for any other reason except the pillaging of that country's natural resources is fooling themselves. That's not even mentioning the illegality of it all.
Couple of things. The US IS a dictatorship plain & simple. The "donroe doctrine"! He has to put his goddam name on everything.
And he has no plans to repair any infrastructure in Venezuela (or here for that matter) other than the oil fields. He will not do a damn thing for the people. If the people of Maduro's regime that are left can come up with enough money to give to trump he'll let them do whatever they want & if they think they're going to get a cut of the oil revenue then they are more stupid than the idiots in this country that voted for trump!
The POTUS is a criminal, the head of a criminal cabal & will do whatever he damn well pleases.
Don't you wonder when he's going to start rounding up the "scum" that are against him here in the country??? Remember we are traitors & you know what they used to do to traitors!!!!
Considering the public never gave Venezuela a thought, it will be interesting who will be thumping their chests ...the old hawks anondoned Don a long time ago. 99% probability is it was done to distract from the Epstein files and Bondis failure to uphold the law....and I don't think it is going to work. He must really hate his own party. Watching TV car commercials, oil is dead. War for oil is so passe.

Nightmare is how I would describe this. Call your reps in congress and demandthat theybe accountable and when thetime comes, getout in the streets
Trump's rejection of Ms. Machado is to be expected, given his general lack of respect for women.
There was a legitimate winner in Venezuela's election, Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia. He should be handed the reins and trump should bow out.

Thank you for such a well-informed explanation, albeit one that makes me want to scream and/or cry.
