We need to talk more about the motivations for the US attacking Venezuela.
Something I haven't seen mentioned much: Venezuela's vast oil reserves.
The thing to remember, and this is a fantastic illustration of it, is that the US administration has no spine or theory of operation. Trump is a moron who does not lead the administration. He doesn't know what he's doing, he just does whatever people tell him to do. We really need to emphasize that. He is a loser and a follower, I know I'm being a little harsh there but but that's what we need to emphasize.
So when it comes to Venezuela, we need to talk more about the motivations? Absolutely! And I highlight the plural there!
There is no one motivation. All of the people in the administration and in popular conservative media spheres have different motivations. They all have different reasons for setting US policy. They all have different motivations, and Trump is so goddamn weak that he doesn't get to set the motivation of the government.
And so it's just a mess. They're going to kill a lot of people, and they can't even say why.
And we kept electing people to Congress who don't care enough to hold them accountable for it. We should stop reelecting those ineffective people.
Siiiiiigh.
