Watched this news story as it was breaking last night.
The United States launched air strikes in Caracas, the capital city of Venezuela. Details were sketchy at first, with the Venezuelan government claiming this was a product of American aggression.
Initially, however, the Pentagon did not deny it, but referred any inquiries to the White House.
As the night progressed, however, it was clear that Trump had indeed launched this attack. Later, he claimed that President Nicolás Maduro had been captured and was en route outside of the country.
Strange, how the man who was crying and whining about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and then gladly accepted the made-up participation trophy known as the FIFA Peace Prize, is so adamant about launching a war in Venezuela. He claims that this is because of known drug ties and trafficking.
Still, it is no secret that Trump and company want the oil that is in Venezuela. Didn't he predict big things in Venezuela to come?
It seems a bit risky to me, what Trump is doing. After all, a large part of why his base is so attached to him is that he was not going to get us involved in foreign wars like this.
Now, here we are, taking military action in a foreign land.
Once again, the United States seems to think that it can and should do whatever the hell it wants wherever the hell it wants whenever the hell it wants. So we invade countries, often with a hell of a lot of people expressing their unwavering approval back home, even if the invasion comes as a relative surprise. Grenada 1983. Panama 1989. Iraq 2003. Venezuela 2026.
You might have think we learned better by now.
Apparently not.
