Venezuela

The U.S. invasion of Venezuela is going to be a disaster from which we may never recover. Venezuela may prove to be the downfall of the U.S., the way Afghanistan was for the U.S.S.R. (and could have been for the US — having dodged a bullet on that one, just barely, we have now put the barrel of the gun in our mouths and pulled the trigger again).

The only winners of this war will be Trump and his kleptocracy.

Russia will take Ukraine, China will take Taiwan, and Trump will just wave them through.

Congress needs to act to stop this illegal war and impeach Trump. But Congress will do nothing. Congress is as impotent as the Roman Senate under the Caesars.
