It's going to be Venezuela.

I "matched" a girl from Venezuela. You know, had her entire profile in Spanish, but spoke perfect English? She was suggesting that maybe the invasion would help free them from Maduro.

Yeah. They're trying to psy-op this already, and they know they don't have the narrative or support it they're gonna try it anyway.

Normally? Yeah. But this is about invading a foreign country because they nationalized their own oil.

This will involve children getting killed. So... No.

No it's a bush level unforced error. Not just the administration, but the nation as well. Young men are about to go experience the joy of dying in a jungle as the rest of us suffer because the rest of the world fucking hates us and won't trade with us anymore.

That's kind of Trump's MO, though. Distract from anything embarrassing or problematic for him by committing increasingly greater cruelties that push them off the front page.

You'll excuse me for being skeptical.
